> [@Greathouse](#): > > Cow-worker is a long time SDMBism. I can’t remember who exactly started it, but I think he’s burning your dog. It’s a Dilbertism, really. I thought **Scott Plaid** seemed like a frothing blibberhead, but I thought that was only because he was in the Pit. I had no idea he posted the SAME WAY in GD. This thread is both enlightening and hilarious. ---

In fact I already, made this point in post #399. How come you always come back to the same arguments when I already prove you wrong and then you argue the same points again. ---

People often think that using it can be bad but if in fact it is bad then being bad is no longer bad, just out of the norm and therefore the clam is substatinaited. but That sjust make my point because your been two posts and link was stated when I ran it off before. Do’nt forget I channeled Shodan to a dual and he took of his glove. What am I suppose to do when I right and not say any thing if I say nothing than who will? Let me think on this oven night. ---

What am I suppose to do when I right and not say any thing if I say nothing than who will? Let me think on this oven night. I will adibe by **John Mace** ’s ruling on this but I think you are forgeting my post #24 in that thrad about the activits judges where **Shodan** asked a question but not like we agreed and I had to come here to clarify my point. What am I supossed to do when I ama ttacked and I think I am the best person to answer the questions even though I can’t do it in a question it is good for degbate. ---
