I’m not a howler nor a jingoist. I know the meaning of irony and how to properly use it. And with the exception of this pitting, I haven’t read any of your posts since your second week on the board. And **Maus** is right. About the only person here harder to piss off than **mika** would be , well, I don’t know. So why don’t you go piss off? The adults are talking. ---

[QUOTE=Sean Factotum] And **Maus** is right. About the only person here harder to piss off than **mika** would be , well, I don’t know. So why don’t you go piss off? The adults are talking. [/QUOTE] 😃 It’s not entirely true. I’ve gotten very angry at people on the boards before. But it’s directly because of those instances and because of what certain people said to me at the time that I’ve resolved to be forever more calm and collected when responding. Or at least try. ---

[QUOTE=Lemur866] By the way, whatever happened to angel dust? Back in the 70s the cops on TV were busting angel dust dealers every week. Don’t kids nowadays get hooked on angel dust anymore? [/QUOTE] It’s still around, but you much more commonly see people getting busted for Ketamine (K, Special K, Vitamin K), which is chemically very similar to PCP. ---

[QUOTE=Wildfire\*\*MM] I suspect there are a group of people here (about 15-20%) that are considering them selves to be a part of the “in-gang (howlers)”. These people support each other on regular basis and attack (what is in their own mind) outsiders. These people creates an common enemy, and the bound between these people get stronger when they find such a person. Nothing ties a group better together than a common enemy Some say I don’t contribute to anything here, but as long as my threads usually got replies, that ain’t the case [/QUOTE] Oh, geez. I just threw up a little in my mouth. You can’t even troll interestingly, which is impressive, as it only requires maybe a half-dozen brain cells. No, you just have to vomit up the same tired old bullshit as every other drooling moron who’s left their crap all over the boards. Go. Away. ---

[QUOTE=Lemur866] What, the “dildoes” thread? You don’t see why he was being an idiot in that thread? Y’know, it would be possible to open a thread about the uses and misuses of sex toys. But our pea-brained buddy Wildfire\*MM isn’t the guy to open it. Eh, it’s clear he’s gotten bored around here and he’s gonna post more and more inflamatory stupid crap until he gets himself banned. Sob, sob, sob. Yeah, finally the Jews and the Jingoists and the fascists will finally take down a true hero. Sob, sob, sob. That will indeed be a dark day. [/QUOTE] No it was the Galloway tgread.
