Why would the same go for me, bj0rn?

Regardless of the level of your english, you did once make a concerted effort to write better and a lot of people were able to understand you.

The old master has come to regain his crown.

**bj0rn** (there, happy?), you have a remarkable ability to create an argument in less than 5 minutes based on nothing of substance whatsoever.

I mean - what are we arguing about again? For that matter, what were we _ever_ arguing about?

I hope you’re giong to stick around a little longer this time.

more or less the same…sorry, was a bit cryptic on that one.

your question about the world cup was in agreement with the statement coldie made about me being right without critique on its truthfulness…

kabbes: i have no intention of staying any longer this time because it seems to me things havent changed a bit.

(this is throwing while blindfolded so dont take it to seriously)  
ignorance and egoistic self-perserverance still seems to be the motivation for the “majority” of people here (majority = megaposters) and in my opinion it defies the very essence of being a part of the human race.

sorry for all the big words and statements, it just sounded much better like this. feel free to tone it down a little.

bj0rn - …

Which reactions were those? Are you still unaware of the ascerbic nature of this board after all this time? While I’d agree that some individuals could stand to learn a little more patience, people who are woefully obtuse are difficult to deal with. I find it amusing that you should accuse the people here of being stupid after apparently realizing your own culpability.

How enlightening. So you came back just to tell us we’re all morons. How does this differ from the way you were treated?

> [@](#):

> \*\*it would be easier if i were simply to say i was wrong…it would be easier to accept. but it just isnt like that and you had better accept that. \*\*

Yes, there are two sides to every dispute, and I’d even go so far as to agree that people were abusive to you. If I was, I apologize. But if you make no effort to address where you were wrong as well, I honestly don’t think you’ve learned all that much.

You seem to have it all figured out, why don’t you answer that yourself?

mrblue…thank you for a very good observation…hang on a moment.

mangetout: i answered that question in the following paragraph…

mrblue again:

> [@](#):
>
> I find it amusing that you should accuse the people here of being stupid after apparently realizing your own culpability.

you might just be the first person to realize this…congratulations.

the problem is, that after i had been on both sides i realized which side was wrong…

> [@](#):
>
> So you came back just to tell us we’re all morons. How does this differ from the way you were treated?

another good observation…and again you were propably number one…

it differs because i am calling myself a moron too…a moron for ever having been on “the other side”…

fortunately, when faced with the situation that arose with me at the “other side”, i had the experience to avoid the critisism i was put through here…

so, feeling good about myself i decided to drop in here and share my hard earned wisdom.

bj0rn - verði ykkur að góðu…

Hello, little sausage. You cast yourself as the stag in Rousseau’s hunt and berate us our inadequacies. But you’re just a vole and not worth the hunt. Toying with you is not failure to glark, but sport.

And you still don’t get it here: we are incomplete idiots. We’re just more complete than you.
