… not to mention bizarre.

Just because this forum permits ridiculously offensive behavior, doesn’t oblige anybody to practice it.

Of course given the history of the board there is nooooooo reason for anyone to be skeptical. Right.

If a man tells me he might die soon I may certainly be skeptical. That grants me no license to spit in his face and call him a lying asshole.

This could mean so many things:

1. **Liberal** is very ill and doesn’t have long to live.
2. We’re _all_ going to die because of a nuclear holocaust or the Rapture or something.
3. **Liberal** isn’t going to renew his SDMB subscription but the man behind the words will live on.
4. It’s going to be one of those fake internet deaths ala **WallyM7**.
5. The hijack of all hijacks in a thread complaining about hijacks.
6. Some kind of metaphoical hoo-ha that’s over all of our heads.

or my actual choice

1. Drama queen bullshit.

Maybe **Liberal** will illuminate us.

Ture, and I chose not to do that. At the same time I can hardly blame those who find the timing suspicious and who believe they have seen this scenario played out before.

The part you didn’t mention just now. The part about “being ashamed.”

Nothin’ like the mention of death to take the heat off you when a thread’s not going the way you like it. Seen it happen too many times to believe it anymore when someone throws a stinkbomb from left field.

\*\*RedFury \*\*and \*\*Xploder \*\*called him on it. Schoolmarm **Spiritus Mundi** scolds \*\*RedFury \*\*and **Xploder**.

Like I said: Bullshit.

**hajaro** - if you wish illumination from **liberal** I suggest you inquire of him through email or in another thread. I have no desire to turn this into a referendum on the accuracy of his statement. Many people appear to feel that the medium of a message board absolves all manner of crass and repulsive behavior.

I do not.

Ah, so we have established that you believe that being petty, vicious, and utterly devoid of compassion is acceptable behavior.

Apparently your own schoolmarms failed in their duties. How sad.

I don’t quite understand the whole **Liberal** issue. I’ve been hanging around here for nearly five years now, and participating in threads everywhere except Great Debates, and I just can’t seem to muster the same kind of anger towards Lib that so many others seems to harbour.

Liberal, my sympathies (although you say you don’t want or need them, you have them anyway).

I agree here **featherlou**. I don’t know why or how but it seems there is a monthly quota of **Liberal** related pit threads. I still don’t understand why people don’t just ignore him.

Yeah, innit? I must be going to that hell I don’t believe in, too.

Feel free to go _tsk tsk tsk_ and act all righteous and stuff. I know that makes people like you\* feel good.

Oh it would be much more convenient if we had the referendum here, all our **Liberal** reading in one place. It will be simple enough for you just not read those parts of the thread.

just kidding 😛

You fascinate me Uvula. You don’t believe that somebody who is vicious and petty should be ashamed of themselves.

What does make you ashamed Uvula? Nothing perhaps? Oh, and I don’t care what your religion is either: I just find it interesting when somebody admits that they lack a sense of conscience. Just for future reference, you know.

But maybe I’m overinterpretting your remarks.

That thread was dying of its own accord. The line about mortality was buried pretty deep inside the paragraph: it could have _easily_ been ignored. Except by those who are petty/vicious, etc.

Well, given his posting rate I would have to say that ignoring him is a rather tall order.
