True enough. After wading through most of the relevant threads, I get the impression that his debating technique consists entirely of “I know you are, but what am I?”
Oops, Homebrew snuck in a post before me. BTW, Billie Holliday definitely sang Strange Fruit.
Hey, it works for me!
Oh wait, that was when I was 8.
Actually, I did post a response of sorts earlier in that thread. Something about him basically saying, “I know you are but what am I?”
Well, I was wrong, it was Lady Blue’s. But I find Nina Simone’s version quite haunting.
Thief!
Can somebody wake me when the clock hits zero? Thanks.
It really is too bad; he seems to be one of our more eloquent posters. It’s a shame such writing comes with a generous lacing of intolerance and immaturity.
A pity his eloquence was limited to A) his self-importance and B) his own amusement.
There’s no binding contract on the number of posts you have to have or the amount of time you’re required to spend here. If you don’t like it, short of civilly going about trying to change it, you’re welcome to use the exit sign conveniently marked with big red flashing lights.
We’ll even clean off the cumstains in the bathroom from when you were jerking off to your own posts.
Jeff, I’m truly jealous. I only wish I had heard of Reverend Mykeru before, oh, ten minutes ago when I clicked on this thread. Then it would be my name up on that webpage. Mine, for the world to revel in. My…my…my…presssscious…
You know, I’m sympathetic to our boy’s frustration with the rather broad prohibition on anything thought to even remotely contain the possibility of eventually meandering within sight of the borderline of copyright infringement file sharing issues. I won’t even give the “it’s their board, they can do what they want” excuse, which implies at least tacit support for the policy. I will give the explanation “hey, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
However, your frustrations would inspire more sympathy from everyone if you hadn’t already pissed a few people off and been a bit of a blowhard. Dude, when it comes to dwelling in the Pit, you have to pick your battles carefully. You can’t declare war on the entire board at once, in the first month of membership no less.

Alright, everyone. Grab your torches and pitchforks. We have a target worth our vitrol now.**
(hawking)PITCHFORKS!! TORCHES!! GETCHER PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES HERE!! CAN’T CHASE THE INDESCRIBIBLY HORRIFIC MONSTER WITHOUT TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!!
Hey, I was never encouraged. The chastisement alone was enough to make me straighten up.
Hey! I demand a correction be published. I got two of 'em last week myself.
heh heh heh-- good one. That’s truly biting satire.
Wait. You were kidding-- right?
Do you think that he really doesn’t realise just how ascerbic and unpleasant he is?
Or do you think that he does know and is doing it on purpose?
Either way, he’s a fantastic lesson on why it is better to be friendly than not. For what does he gain? Nothing. No pleasant discussion. No friends. No community.
His bile is his crime, but it is also his punishment.
Whatever it is in your life that’s causing this antagonism, Reverend, I hope you find a way through it. Truly. I don’t like to see people suffer and to me you look like a man in pain. Hopefully one day you’ll learn to extend a hand in friendship and accept differences peaceably and you’ll be much happier as a result.
Saying that, sadly I feel that it is not my job to aid you in this quest. So good luck and maybe one day we’ll meet again in another place.

No, no… let’s not be so hasty in denying Coldfire’s third grade-ness. 
Can I get a torch over here?
I fail to understand why he felt he needed proof when the only one in that thread who continued to insist that his website could not possibly be his was himself.
