Doesn’t Rand Rover have to be taken seriously before he rates having serious problems?
I didn’t dispute that. I am saying that, at the same time you accuse me of using rhetorical flourishes, you are doing the exact same thing. And you don’t seem to realize it.
Which proves, of course, that you are completely insane.
Rand Rover had one of my favorite thread titles of the year (his ultralong Pit thread) and his baiting of everyone here cracks me up. Dude, if I was anywhere near Chicago I would happily come. The shame is that it is clear that eventually he will be banned and a little bit more fun will leach out of this place.
Obviously I don’t share his viewpoint, because honestly, who does? That being said he is at least fun to read.
Rand Rover is a suppository? That explains a lot.
How many of us are actually certified sane? I see no reason to think that his beliefs prima facie make him crazy; they merely make him an unpleasant person.
Thanks for the support, Frank (hey, I’ll take what I can get around here).
Thanks for the new sig line:
–
Gaffa: I said exactly what I meant to say, that you have a near-psychopathic disregard for the lives of others.
Rand Rover: I didn’t dispute that.
Confidential to Rand Rover–
They call you heartless: but you have a heart, and I love you for being ashamed to show it.
F.N.
:rolleyes: Ba-zing. Boy, you got me. I mean, you really got me there. I don’t suppose everyone but you knows that “that” refers to what you said (i.e., the topic of the sentence to which I was replying) and cannot reasonably be read to refer to anything else. Man, hoisted by my own petard. I salute you, sir.
This is the first time I have come across a person being un-invited to his own party.
“Well, then someone suggested we settle our differences with a tequila contest, and that’s the last I remember until the Emergency Room, officer…”
He doesn’t really exist as a human being. He is a made-up online persona, troll, if you will. In reality, he’s a poisoned, little, man that is desperate for attention. He’s seemed to have found fertile ground,in which to plant himself, here, where board drama has long ago replaced fighting ignorance as the main attraction.
I think RandRover is becoming dangerously close to channelling Hunter S Thompson.
Which would be a good thing, of course.
Sorry, not even close. Not even a little bit.
Bite your tongue. Like, a lot.
A conservative, Nixon-hating version?
Seriously, I think a lot of the stuff he posts is so tounge-in-cheek that it’s hard to differentiate the difference, which, in my mind, was a key element in HST’s writings, hence the reference.
I’m re-reading “The Proud Highway” for laughs right now.
Sorry if my lame interpretation doesn’t jibe with you all’s.
Ahem, I think they are making notice about of how HST died, not a good thing to expect from another doper.
He doesn’t always drink beer. But when he does, he prefers Dos Equis.
Oh, I hadn’t even thought of that. That’s not what I meant at all.
“Stay thirsty, my friend,” was his response to the dying man’s plea for water.
