It appears that **Thin Lizzy** is not even in the running for honorable mention. Who knew there were so many people that actually look at the newest member? ---

I guess I am not that bad after all huh? To the OP and his henchmen: This will not be the last time you have a discussion with someone who disagrees with your political philosophy. It’s really not that serious so you should not get upset. People can disagree and get along. So stop being crybabies because I said something you don’t like. Trust me, you will enjoy life more. 😉 ---

But, you see, there are plenty of posters on this board who disagree with the more liberal leaning members of this board, and we, for the most part, get along just fine with them. It’s just that they spout off ideas rather than second or third hand bullshit. Think for yourself. You’ll enjoy life more. ---

Trust me, you will enjoy life more. 😉 Yeah, right. _That’s_ why you’re getting insulted. Because you’re a conservative. Folks like **UncleBeer** and **John Mace**? Man, they just _hate_ conservatives. Can’t stand 'em. I bet **UncleBeer** spends all day at his Young Socialists Against Bush meetings, going on and on about how he hates Republicans. And **John Mace**? He’s so leftist, he immigrated to the People’s Republic of China, but then came back because, “they weren’t really serious about it.” If I were you, I wouldn’t even bother talking to these sorts of unreconstructed Democratic pukes. It’s a waste of your time. ---

> [@Thin Lizzy](#): > > So basically the OP has a problem that I am a Republican? No. You’ve been pitted because, based on the tone, content, and grammatical standards of your posts to date, you’ve been judged a ‘fucking moron’. You see, the SDMB has an excellent community policing system which, while it occasionally ensnares innocents, is generally very effective at rooting out idiots before they get too disruptive. Basically, you’ve been caught in the net, and the only way out of it is to prove you’re a dolphin and not a tuna fish. ---

This guy who loves seafood takes his first trip to New York City, figuring they’ll have great everything there, and he hops in a taxi and asks the driver, “Where’s the best place to get scrod?” The driver says, “Buddy, I’ve been asked that by all kinds of people in all kinds of ways. But you’re the first who’s put it in the pluperfect subjunctive.” Daniel ---

It’s really not that serious so you should not get upset. People can disagree and get along. So stop being crybabies because I said something you don’t like. Trust me, you will enjoy life more. You don’t read any better than you think. You were not pitted for a difference of opinion. You were initially pitted because you interrupted a question in **GQ** (where we seek _factual_ responses) with a particularly lame attempt at humor that merely demonstrated unthinking partisanship. You have continued to be pitted because people (left, right, Democrat, Republican, independent, and apolitical) recognized your username as the poster who posted drooling hatred and foolishness in several other threads. This has truly been a non-partisan pitting and if you miss that, then you fail to understand just how foolishly you have presented yourself. ---
