> [@Kable](#): > > Yeah it seems everyone, including you, thinks there is a pretty good chance my story is true, and it’s for sure that $500 is a great deal of money to you in particular. I hope them monthly alarm payments aren’t forcing you into chapter 13. Everyone thinks you’re a lying pussy who came up with some wager scheme in order to retract an offer to provide proof of your claim. Nobody gives enough of a shit about you to go to any effort to change that impression. ---

> [@DragonAsh](#): > > Yes. And your point is…? Ermm, the point is that when you tell people that they shouldn’t live in such a shithole that they feel the need for a gun, they don’t always have a choice in living in that shithole. > [@](#): > > Bull-fucking SHIT you little goat’s shit. It’s me trying to get him to agree to a bet that there’s no good reason for him to try and weasel out of. As far as I can tell, he’s not trying to weasel out of anything. He’s trying to screw you out of some money or prove that you’re blowing smoke about how wealthy you are. Remember, you’re the one that said you are almost certain that you make more in a week than Kable makes in a year. I don’t think anyone seriously believes you, mostly because you sound too young and too stupid to have that sort of money short of inheriting it and you don’t seem to have the sort upbringing that comes with inheriting that much money. Frankly, I think this tangent is getting old but, whatever. > [@](#): > > There’s no fucking way any of us are agreeing to send money ‘into escrow’ :rolleyes: to some random person on the Internet that none of us have ever met… Have you seriously never heard of online escrows?:dubious: > [@DragonAsh](#): > > Feel free to pretend like you ‘won’ your pathetic little argument. The rest of us know what the score is. I think that you and maybe hentor constitutes “the rest of us” > [@Hentor\_the\_Barbarian](#): > > Everyone thinks you’re a lying pussy who came up with some wager scheme in order to retract an offer to provide proof of your claim. Nobody gives enough of a shit about you to go to any effort to change that impression. You know why he keeps bringing it up? Because people keep pretending defensive gun use never happens, so Kable says nuh uh, it happens and I know because it happened to me. If people would stop acting like guns aren’t used in self defense, he wouldn’t have to keep bringing it up. > [@Kable](#): > > Birds of a feather… They’ve lost the battle. We won’t have any gun regulations for at least the next 6 years. ---

> [@Zeriel](#): > > Speaking as a pro-gunner, you DO kind of look like an idiot by not just posting a page or two from the report. Well if I just post a page or two, aren’t the naysayers going to just say it’s photoshopped? Then fall back to their next line of defense “your just a single data point that doesn’t mean anything”? Neither of those outcomes seems worth much effort, but $500 is $500, and if they really think I’m lying they should AT LEAST make it a thousand. And besides, I’m enjoying the attention and knowing it’s really getting Hentor’s and Dragon’s goat. ---
