> [@FigNorton](#): > > Bullshit. Of course shit like that has to be coded, even here. It was pure “well, I’m not calling you a Nazi but…”. Spare me the five pages of excuses. I see that it is easier for you to think that the grapes are still bitter. But go ahead missing the main point that stands regardless of your sorry efforts. ---

Do you know what the phrase “bitter grapes” pertains to? Because it makes no sense in your response. If you were Sam’s psychiatrist or his wife, your little bullshit about “trying to save him from this path” would have some believability. Since you’re just some jerk on the internet trying to insult another one, it does not. → give it up it’s not believable. ---

> [@FigNorton](#): > > Do you know what the phrase “bitter grapes” pertains to? Because it makes no sense in your response. That is directed at you, the one that remains bitter by knowing that I can tell what others will end up thanks to what they are consuming as their sources of information. It is not a magical thing. You are acting like that fox that has to tell himself that the sweet grapes I enjoy nowadays by being able to use a ladder (hint: that is called knowledge) are bitter. Again, you can believe it or not, but so far I do not see Sam as a fascist. Not even a grammar Nazi as others tried also to get me that way. Come to think of it, several ended up banned too. ---

Umm, the grapes you’re enjoying is your future predicting ability and I’m jealous of said grapes? That’s what you are saying? ---

> [@FigNorton](#): > > Umm, the grapes you’re enjoying is your future predicting abilities and I’m jealous? That’s what you are saying? Just about it, since you only show to others that you missed the point of why I complained about Sam, his climbing on his cross as if others like me had not experienced a similar environment where posters like you only nit aimlessly. Remember, he was declaring himself as the prince of truth just for the reason that many are opposing him over here. Again, if that is so, I experienced worse, so logically I should be better than he. Of course the real point is that that is stupid coming from Sam, what I did was a parody of that. ---

We’ll know then if you end up as a Nazi or a Grammar Nazi. 🙂 So far, as shown, you only reached for the item you complained about as a distraction from what Sam is foolishly doing. Even his recent climbing on his cross act is silly when others like me did go through worse than what he claims. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > I read that wise saying, and it got me to pondering on all the flak we gave **Jack Dean Tyler** back in the day. Wow, I had not thought about Jack or the infamous “Tug-Ahoy” in what, a decade? Yeah, that is indeed something of a counterexample to the (not very convincing to start with) hypothesis that being Pitted is really a compliment to the strength of one’s arguments. ---

I’m not white knighting him at all. I took grievance with one line of attack. But you’re a simpleton who imagines himself clever, so I’m sure you won’t get that. ---

Of course shit like that has to be coded, even here. It was pure “well, I’m not calling you a Nazi but…”. Spare me the five pages of excuses. And this is why you keep being seen as a troll. You’ve just admitted that you have and will continue to ignore any post that is against your position. You clearly didn’t read my post, and announced you won’t read posts that are “too long.” This seems to be a pattern with you. You say something stupid that attacks another poster. Everyone else tells you that you’re wrong, but you refuse to accept that. You just keep escalating, making yourself come off worse. You can choose not to read anyone telling you that you’re wrong, but it won’t make you any less wrong. You don’t know more about the culture of this board than people who have been here for decades. Nazi is not some “beyond the pale” insult here. That would be stupid. (If you just want your own Pit thread, we can do that, you know. No need to keep being an ass in other people’s.) ---
