Thanks for the laughs, guys! This has been hilarious - first, Mr. Boomer the **accountant** tries to claim some sort of intellectual superiority based on whether or not someone has a college degree - since when does an accounting degree qualify anyone as an expert on evolutionary theory? I laughed so hard I spit coffee all over my keyboard! Then pashley claimed to have presented logical arguments in his GD posts! I laughed so hard that time that I nearly fell off my chair! Keep it up, guys - this may be one of the funniest threads on the board! ## Oh, and thanks for reinforcing my negative attitude towards most religious types - you’re both great examples of why I have little respect for religion. I’d actually begun to change my attitude a little after reading some of the tolerant, intelligent posts by ‘believers’ on this board. Heck, I almost let my guard down. God is love. Love is blind. Ray Charles is blind. Therefore, Ray Charles is God. ---

Hey, all - the OP’er here. Sorry I was away - I had to leave the SDMB alone for Passover… but I’m back. **Pashley** : If you look waaaay back at my OP, you’ll see that I said: > [@](#): > > **DavidB** took **Pashley** to task on a number of issues and, in my opinion, was over-harsh. Beyond reasonable sarcasm. Dare I say it, a jerk. Then, some time later, I posted: > [@](#): > > Upon re-reading this thread I have come to the conclusion that I made a mountain out of a mole hill. > DavidB handled himself admirably… Then, things got ugly. You introduced profanity into the discussion, which was, I believe, what got you in trouble with **DavidB** in the first place, then you began responding to every posted criticizm with vile, ad-hominem attacks. **Not a good way to make friends.** Remember the old saying? _“It’s better to keep your mouth shut and have them think you’re a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”_ I posted my OP because I thought **DavidB** wsa wrong - for the record, I had never interacted with [n]you\*\* before. After reading this thread, I regret my OP because I might have seemed to be posting on your behalf. I said in a recent MPSIMS Post (called something like "Why are you here) that I enjoyed the SDMB so much because I got to hang around people who are more intelligent than I am. I don’t know much about you as a person, but I **do** know that your behavior in **this** thread tells me that you are **not** one of the people I come here to be around. Walk away, chill out, and get a grip. * * * Note to self: Don’t climb into the ring with **sdimbert**. He’s one of those guys that checks the facts. – **WallyM7** ---

David who? Just kidding… Wanted to give my opinion. DavidB can drive you nuts if you disagree with him. But seeing as he’s responded to the same lame-ass arguments forever, I’m surprised he aint nuts himself. Not that I always agree with him. Yeah, sometimes he’s rude, crude, and obnoxious. But I have a lot of respect for a guy that is obviously extremely well-read in many fields.

\*\*\*[Note to admins and mods: It’s fine by me if Farley/Tshirts wants to chase me around the SDMB, snapping at my ankles, and posting her feeble squeaks to every single thread that I’ve contributed to. At least it’ll keep her off the streets. I don’t plan on chasing HER around while she chases ME around, because that would be silly and life’s too short. So I will keep this in the Pit, so it doesn’t clutter up the other forums too much. At least, I won’t be the one responsible for the clutter.] (this is the duplicate; the original is over in the official “Bash Notthemama” thread in the Pit.) [http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/001000.html](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/001000.html) Hi, there, **Farley!** Say, I hope you don’t mind, but I’m gonna assume for purposes of discussion that you are actually **tshirts** , OK? **Tshirts** and **Lamerino** are the only people I’ve had any run-ins with here at the SDMB, and I don’t think you could be **Lamerino** , first of all, because I don’t think I upset him that much, and second, because in his few posts, he sounded like a basically stable person, if a trifle mischievous at times. You were the one who started to sound, shall we say, a trifle “shrill”? All that “I’m not going to post anymore here”, and then 2 hours later you’re back again. Also, **Lamerino** never went to the trouble to start an entire thread just to pick on me, which you did in your Catfight thread. He just clipped me a couple of times and then left. And I don’t think you could be **JTP~** from Mailbag Comments, because although I did invite him to meet me in the Pit, that was just this morning, and I don’t think he’d have had time to create an entire website in my honor, and besides, I thought I made it clear that I was joking. And besides, it wasn’t that big of a scrap, you know? And I suppose that Pashley might be upset with me because I used one of his quotes out of context in the “Apologies” thread, trying to be funny, but I did apologize for that, and also, we know that his real name is “Patrick Ashley”, and I don’t think he’d go to the trouble of constructing not only a “Notthemama” website, but also an entire new identity for his sig line. > [@](#): > > Elizabeth Pawson N.W.Calgary, Alberta T3A 2K2 > notthemama@sprint.ca [http://home.talkcity.com/HalfpipeLn/notthemama/](http://home.talkcity.com/HalfpipeLn/notthemama/) > [mproctors@earthlink.net](mailto:mproctors@earthlink.net) [http://www.nomo.co.uk/notthemama/images/notlogo.jpg](http://www.nomo.co.uk/notthemama/images/notlogo.jpg)[http://www.nomo.co.uk/notthemama/flyer1.htm](http://www.nomo.co.uk/notthemama/flyer1.htm) I’m sorry, but I don’t have time right now to go look at all the links. Am I correct in assuming that many of them are what a pissy brat would consider “obscene”? That’s OK with me, “rights of free speech” and all that. Nobody’s going to put a gun to my head and make me click on the link, right? Maybe somebody would be kind enough to take a peek for me and let me know if it’s safe to look! So, **tshirts,** how ya been, babe? I wondered when you were gonna come back. You can’t keep a good poster down, I always say. And I guess you must have officially unregistered the name **“tshirts”** , because otherwise **Farley** would count as a sock puppet. But I know you know that–after all, you’ve been here since before **TubaDiva.** But hey, I’m glad you’re back. I kind of missed you. Here I spent a lot of time writing dirty Burma Shave poems and ornate Oriental insults to throw at you, and then you up and chickened out. Now I get to use them after all! Hooray! (Oh, and since you’re going to duplicate posts, I hope you don’t mind if I do the same, do ya? Thanks, you’re a peach!) Did you hear about Pashley and Califboomer? Ain’t that something? Say, you know, I’d just like to mention something. I noticed that when you had your hissy fit and stomped off from the About this Catfight thread, you changed your profile to be, well, I suppose you thought it was insulting. But, hey, I’m easy. No offense taken. But I’m real sorry you had to dismantle your Web page because of me. I know how much work goes into one of those, and I’m truly sorry you had to flush it down the toilet. But I love the new website! Thanks for the plug! And I’m sure Jim Henson Productions and Disney are grateful for it, too. Oh, you didn’t know? My name’s from the baby dinosaur in that series from a few years back, _Dinosaurs_, you know, with “Earl Sinclair”, and the baby dinosaur bops him on the head with a frying pan and chants, “NOT the mama! NOT the mama!” See, that’s who I am, I’m “not the mama”. You’ll probably be getting e-mail from folks looking for the series website. Here’s [Muppet Central.](http://www.muppetcentral.com/) I don’t think the series itself has a website, since it was canceled. And let me say how happy I am that you’ve started this “Bash Notthemama” thread. Not only does it give you an unparalleled opportunity to demonstrate to the entire Straight Dope Message Board what a pissy little brat you are, it also makes me immediately FAMOUS!! I am finally worthy of having a Pit thread started in my honor. You can’t see me, sweetie, but I am doing a Happy Dance all around my dining room. My little Doper heart is filled with rapture that, after barely a month, I have officially Arrived. Here I thought I would have to toil away for months in the coal mines of General Questions and Great Debates before anyone would notice me, and here you are, singlehandedly catapulting me to fame! I can’t thank you enough, honestly. Posters like **Coldfire** and **Satan** and **Tomndeb** and **SingleDad** are going to know my name, that’s for sure, 'cause every time they load up the Pit, there it will be, up in lights! I love you, **tshirts,** really I do. Oh, and make sure you post to this thread lots, also the Catfight thread, so they stay right up there near the top, where all the newbies can’t possibly miss them. I know they won’t want to miss this. This is what the SDMB is all about. Say, can I ask you a question? Where’d you get your name? I’ve got five bucks that says it’s after the dead dog in _For Better or Worse_, see, 'cause then that would make you a “son of a bitch”. Well? Did I get it? See ya. 😃 P.S. I see in your sig that it says your name may possibly be “Elizabeth”. If so, I’d like to apologize for calling you a “son of a bitch” How silly of me. Of course, you must be a “daughter of a bitch”. My mistake. * * * “Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!” - the White Queen ---
