Veb, put away that Amurrican near beer and wrap yourself around a Moosehead.
I think Gab subscribes to the almost Cartesian principle of, “I’m a klutz, therefore I exist.”
He doesn’t realize that he’s a figment of our imagination.
Say, which one of you guys thunk him up?
Please stop it at once.
Oh, wait… Now I get it…
Under interests, right after “truth and knowledge” (he needs all of it he can get), “Braves baseball” (I imagine constantly having my New York Yankees kick his teams ass in October gets mighty irritating), “music” (And he’s in radio - this explains a lot since all deejays WISH they could do something more creative than play the music that their music director tells them to) and “big non-fiction books” (with lots of big pictures, most likely) comes the following:
“flirting.”
That says it all.
Well, Gabriel, I’m really sorry that Drain Bead beat you to it, but your show of affection is still cute.
Yer pal,
Satan
" Anybody figured out exactly why Gab is attacking Satan"
What, you’ve never seen a western? He’s just the stupid kid-gunslinger trying to take down the protagonist(who’s usually weary of killing etc etc).
Of course in this case it’s probably some sort of parody because he can’t seem to find his six shooter. I’m suprised that Satan even wasted his time replying.
Braves baseball lover??!?! Could it be??
(HEY YOU FAT MONKEY) (I hate NY fans) (Some long speech on AIDS, queers, foreigners, and minorities) attacking Satan?
Is the man behind curtain #3 John Rocker?
Hey WallyM7!
Why is American beer like making love in a canoe?
(By the way, I’m not much of a beer drinker. Maybe I should try Moosehead.)

I give up, cleo.
You have to tell me or I’ll go nuts.
Because it’s fucking close to water.
So there! Us 'Mercuns kin steal punchlines, too!
Ha! Good one. 
It wouldn’t be funny if it wasn’t true.
What the hell was this supposed to be, exactly? If it was meant as a joke, it kinda helps if the other party’s aware of the joke. If it wasn’t, the ignition of this flame “war” was executed with as much grace and skill as the quadrapalegic production of Swan Lake. Please, will all parties involved cease invoking my name in this sad sham of a flame war.
Thank you, and you may return to whatever it is you’re passing off as insults.

Flypsyde:
I never claimed to be a master flamer and claimed as much in my own “feeble attempt” above. In fact, I look to you in awe of your own flaming abilities.
Do not blame me for replying, but I could not let his go without a reply of some sort, I’m sure you realize that.
My only solace is that no matter how lame my response was, it was still better than the crap in the OP. Wouldn’t you at least give me that much?
Yer pal,
Satan
Well, I thought you acquited yourself admirably, Satan.
I actually thought both sides did a good job. But, flames are kind of dumb when they are just posted for shits and giggles IMHO. And thats what it seemd Gabe was doing.
Now if Gabe Kaplan were to flame someone. Watch out.

No sweat, Morningstar. You and my frequent sparring partner, your girlfriend, have handled yourselves admirably. My only concern is for the lack of a)worthwhile flames in the original post, and b)any responses from your original assailant. It’s truly only the ignition of the war I’m having trouble with.
I’m wondering if the original intent was to start something along the lines of, as CTP put it, mine and Dem’s interlude. If it was, I would point out to this thread’s originator that Dem and I both knew the intent of our thread, as did most everyone who joined in. Maybe this is Gabe’s original purpose, a joking flame match. If so, it’s been badly handled. If it isn’t, I truly do not understand the flaming of someone he respects and has been unable to find fault with, in posts or otherwise.
Previously, Gabriel had shown himself to be a decent poster-mainly an MPSIMS man like myself. This is an odd turn for him, from what I’ve seen.
On the upside of this, some of our other posters have taken this opportunity to improve their aim with the napalm. Some good’s come of it at least. And thank you all for the compliments, but I’ll reserve my true ire for the Serlins and their ilk.

Oh! What fun!
Is this the part when Gabe pops in and says he is really the crazy house-sitter?
When I first started here, I intensely disliked Satan. I thought he was a pompous turd.He thought I was a freaked out over-emotional bitch. Anyone who has been here much probably knows there was animosity between us.
He <snicker> felt I shared too much, till the shoe was on his foot…so to speak, and he was MAN ENOUGH to email me with the link ( I was on hiatus) to his apology on the board.
This was a grand gesture, make no mistake, but what has finally turned me around and forced me to respect him, was his incessantly dry wit, his unshakable common sense, his impeccable taste in women (his taste NOW! I mean) and the fact that when matched against the dreaded fundies, he was ever the gentleman.
I, kellibelli, respect you Satan.
For whatever thats worth anyway…but I dont say it often, and I wont be repeating it!
You OTOH Gabriel, disappoint me. If this was a joke, its not funny. You insulted his SO, and that is low-class. If this was a serious flame, unprovoked as you say it was…then you just suck.
Dumbass.
yer pal

Oh swell, now we get to look forward to several dozen more MPSIMSers talking about bringing lawn chairs and popcorn and Diet Sprite to “watch the fun.”
Flaming is not a spectator sport.
Gypsy: Tom, I don’t get you.
Tom Servo: Nobody does. I’m the wind, baby.
“It’s okay. I wouldn’t remember me either.”
Hey! I may be the former MPSIMS Goddess, but there’s more to me than that! Just ask DavidB. 
Oh, and you’re SO wrong, Alphagene. Flaming is a great spectator sport – at least when it’s done right. So I guess I’ll concede the point on this OP.

Reading the famous Ackroyd to Curtin line used for the thread title, I opened this thread expecting something clever and funny. Oh, well.
Gabe, this would probably be a good time to retire this handle, register an entirely different type of profile and lurk until Spring or so.
It is for the attention of course. So that in future threads and in other forums you will now recognize Gabe as the person who attacked Satan…true it isn’t the best reason to remember him for…but he’s hoping that you’ll at least remember him.
