I’d pit the hell out of **Silver Tyger Girl** , but then **Skald** would kill me and I wouldn’t get to see the end of _Battlestar Galactica._ I’d do it after that, but he’d still kill me, and I would miss the 2009 NFL Draft. I’d do it after that, there’s still the killing thing and we’ll be only a couple months from the NFL training camps.

I find this statement highly offensive. I would NEVER kill you **Oak**. I would **have you** killed in such a way that all evidence pointed to Fred Phelps having done it in a rage after you rebuffed his homosexual advances.

This post does ntot violate my pledge to no longer be an Evil Overlord, as a cost-benefit analysis clearly reveals that more good than evil is done by murdering Oak in this fashion.

I only have one poster on my ignore list and that is because their “playing a character” shit got really fucking old, really quick.

I’ll probably remove the name eventually.

I don’t have an ignore list; I just sometimes, you know, ignore people.

If someone has already said much the same thing in this thread, I wasn’t ignoring you, I just haven’t read all five pages of it.

Ya know, if I had to get murdered, that would not be a bad way for it to happen. Yeah, I’d hate having to job to Phelps…but I get to keep my heat by not letting him sodomize me…and, if you’re feeling especially benevolent, perhaps I could take out a few of his minions before he gets me.

I get to enter Valhalla—if it exists, Phelps goes to “Pound Me in the Ass” State Pen, **Sylver Tyger Girl** ’s honor is defended, and **Skald** gets love from around the world for taking me out.

Win-Win-Win-Win

Just please wait at least until after the Battlestar Gallatica Finale

Not that anyone cares much because I think I am on everyone’s ignore list, I have two people on my list. One is kancibird, I got tired of her witnessing all the time. The other one just irritates the shit out of me for some reason. She has nothing of substance to add. I must be weird because I won’t name her ,I don’t want to hurt her feelings.

I was unaware and as such my ignore list is now empty.

I know it doesn’t matter because I haven’t been registered for very long and nobody knows who I am, but I have lurked for many many years…so thank you. Everything else you submitted to the boards I greatly enjoyed reading and now I can again enjoy readying your non-evil overlord posts.

No need for such a list. I think everyone can read, scroll past of respond without resorting to such a pussified thing as an ignore list.

If I was an Evil Overlord, one of the first things I’d do would be to take an oath to not be an Evil Overlord.

Just sayin…

I’ve put people on my ignore list. Usually they have gotten on my nerves and when I cool down I rethink my decision and take them off again. I don’t think anyone’s on there right now.

My irony meter just exploded.

I don’t use the ignore function. To do so would be to give those posters’ opinions that may upon occasion irritate me too much weight.

The “How do you quit a messageboard” thread got me thinking about the idea of leaving a messageboard and asking to be banned . . .

So I have a request. Could everyone please add me to their ignore list? Thanks ever so!

My nefarious plan is to have everyone _really_ appreciate my posts because they had to click a little thingy to read it, just like you clicked this spoiler tag.

Please Skaldie, we both know _you’re_ the one with the crush on Panthro. I like my cat-men lean and stripey, and unless Panthro is hiding something under that speedo he calls a uniform, he doesn’t qualify as either.

It’s been done already. The request I mean, not the actual granting of the request.

I post on this board to get myself mildly irritated and then give other people shit.

Putting people on the ignore list would take away the entertainment value.

If **justthink** , he of the crack smoking blank verse, didn’t drive me batty enough to add to my ignore list, why would I ignore any of you? He’s proof that I can tolerate massive levels of insanity and mangled prose.

I don’t go after the guy- I just don’t like his generalizations. And FWIW, I’m a big ol’ leftist myself. But the soldiers thing got me, since I had a cousin who’s an Iraq vet, and now his brother’s about to go over. (I’m against the war especially since I don’t want my family members to die). So I mostly don’t bother engaging him at all, unless it’s to say, “hey, you know, not everyone of such and such group is like that.” But most of the time, I just don’t bother.

**Qwisp** - **Kanicbird** is a he.  
Is **Justthink** still here? I thought he was banned years ago?
