You are a contemptible, sniveling, backstabbing little weasel. There is no shot too low, no innuendo too transparent, that you won’t stoop to it if it will win you the slightest advantage. When caught out flat-footed, you lie like a busted 4 year old. When nailed dead to rights, you try and claim that it was an example to others, an attempt an offering a negative rhetorical lesson. Do you seriously imagine anybody is stupid enough to buy that?

When **Stoid** couldn’t stand another moment of you, I took your side, to a certain degree. He’s bright, I said, and amenable to reason. Persuasion is why we post, said I, only someone like the late unlamented Wildest Bill is a foregone conclusion. I was wrong. She was right.

You’re not worth it.

This post is an utter waste of my time, you ain’t worth it. You slander others heedlessly and offhandedly, and loudly trumpet your offended dignity if you get back any of what you dish out. You haven’t the merest concept of civil debate, for you it is only an excercise in ego. That last dribble of self-righteous slime tore it. You can suck the brown grease out of my asshole, you cowardly little back-stabbing turd-blossom! If self-serving hypocrisy were made of rock, you would own Gibralter.

I sincerly regret the time and patience wasted on an ego junky like you. But I know you, I know that if I don’t respond to your posts you will crow victory to anyone who will listen, as though your scathing intellect has sent me scurrying. It ain’t so.

To the rest of the “usual gang of idiots”, I offer some small apology for my intemperence. But I couldn’t take one more minute of this yellow-eyed dog licker without saying what I think.

I know that nothing short of 1000 mikes of pure LSD or a pre-fontal lobotomy can affect that bloated, diseased ego that has you in its thrall. So I have no illusions about affecting your self-esteem, I’m doing this simply to feel better, like taking that huge, acrid watery dump will sometimes cure a roiling guts.

Did I say fuck you yet? No? Fuck you.

My resolve may weaken, it has before, I may not be able to ignore your drivel for ever. And I can’t say this stuff in GD. So, just so’s you know: when I say “my pit post”, this is what I am saying. And I know you read every word. How do I know?

Because its about you.

Are you trying to call him a yellow-eyed dog who licks?–this is what you have written. Or are you trying to call him a yellow-eyed dog-licker?–one who licks yellow-eyed dogs. Precision is important.

Or, if you want to get all fancy, and show off your knowledge of the en dash, you could try something along the lines of yellow-eyed–dog–licker, as yellow-eyed dog-licker sounds like someone with yellow eyes who licks dogs, which may even have been the intent.
