You are right. Why question anything? I will take all written statements at face value from now on. This isn’t the first time he’s said things like this. There is another thread going on right now where he’s being questioned about a similar statement. You must have missed the part where I said I was probably wrong about what he meant and admitted as much. I asked for a straight answer – which he gave. What ever. You can carry on with your circle jerk and call me stupid a few more times if it makes you feel superior. And **Sailor** , I apologize for misinterpreting your statement. For the record, I don’t always agree with you, but I can respect where you are coming from. For the rest of you who attacked me – bite me. ---

I have to go with **Kiger** on this one. If you’re against the killing of babies, you’re for destabilization of skyscapers. **Sailor** , why do you hate architecture so much? And if you don’t like this country, why don’t you just move to someplace else, like Spain or something. Commie. ---

> [@Kiger](#): > > You know what? FUCK YOU. I never insulted **Sailor** or attacked him. I asked him to explain his comment. I’m “dim” for that? This is why I won’t be wasting $5 on this board full of shitty people like you. I hope that’s a promise. Maybe you could use the 5 bucks to buy a clue. Sailor has contributed _a lot_ to these boards, but somehow right-wing knees always get to jerking whenever he says something that the Neocons don’t happen to agree with. Really shameful. ---

> [@Kiger](#): > > What ever. You can carry on with your circle jerk and call me stupid a few more times if it makes you feel superior. It’s more like this: “What ever. You can carry on with the gobear misconstrue-athon and pile-on.” :rolleyes: Sam ---

Sailor has contributed _a lot_ to these boards, but somehow right-wing knees always get to jerking whenever he says something that the Neocons don’t happen to agree with. Really shameful. I repeat, a board full of shitty people. Assume much asshole? I’m a registered Democrat who hates Bush. I already apologized to **Sailor** , but the pile on continues. Yes, indeed, how shameful. And yes, you get your wish. It is a promise that I won’t spend money to post here. In fact, I promise that I will never post here again. I hope the mods will finally lock this thread. ---

When one opens his big fucking mouth and says something assinine, it’s a guarantee that his words or attitude will be crammed right back down his throat. It’s happened to all of us. It happens to me on a regular basis, that’s just the way it is Pal, sorry. As someone told me last week, If it’s too hot in the pit, get the fuck out!(ironically, I think it was gobear who told me that). Sam ---

It’s pretty amazing what passes for an “apology” these days. I like how you donned your halo and insisted that you were just asking Sailor a teensy little innocent question. HA HA HA HA. But what you _actually_ said in the OP was > [@](#): > > are you hoping for another twin towers type ass-kicking or what? How about a bunch more dead American soldiers? I suggest you take that five dollars, buy a dictionary, and look up “invective” vs. “question”, and note the difference. Yeah, there are shitty people here, but fortunately _you’re_ leaving. ---

This is the Pit and things tend to spiral out of control. Believe me. Look at the other threads and see that I’m being called much worse. There’s plenty of intelligent discussion in GQ and GD and I hope you may reconsider and stay. You can avoid the Pit or try to grow a thicker skin. It’s rough play here but, on the whole, except for the odd asshole, it is a worthwhile bunch here. And I say this as someone who is attacked daily. Considering the circumstances I would ask everyone to lay off until a mod locks this down. The matter has been resolved. ---
