So how’s that Internet Bully Act working out fer ya, _amigo_? What say you take a break and go shoot some of those feral deer that have us all in danger? Or better yet, walk into your nearest recruitment office? What’s that I hear? Oh! That’s right. Mohammeds shoot back. Never mind. Your soldiers have enough to deal with without the smell of shit in your underpants. Geeez, talk about overcompensating for a tiny dick… Anyhow, cheers. ---

[QUOTE=Scylla] I bet it took a lot of guts to come into this thread at this time, fight the popular consensus, go against the grain, and say that. [/quote] Wrong again. The notoriety of my views on this or any other matter have jackshit to do with popular opinion. Since you appear to have so much time for getting into I-net petty squabbles, you’re more than welcomed to research the prior statement in order to refute it. More to the point, I’m usually the minority opinion, yet you manage to be a Triple X A-hole in just about all your posts. There’s something to be proud of: consistency. As in a consistently unbearable made-up cyber persona. Congrats, Cro-Magnum residue. > [@](#): > > I’m impressed. Hicks, rednecks and fascist fucks appear to impress quite easily. Never mind primates such as your self. Thus I can’t say I’m surprised. Here, let me help: [BIC](http://www.bicworld.com/index_en.asp). It’ll bring yiu into a whole new era. Quite welcomed. ---

I’m hoping that you’re going to post a photo of your custom canvas director’s chair, **Scylla**. The one stencilled “Blimpmeister”. Perhaps with you and a few of the luminaries from Project Development at a big film company. You’d be humorously gesturing in their direction with a cattle prod and they’d be looking glad to know you. Because then, who really could deny that you’re a Big Man on this message board? No-one, that’s who. ---

[QUOTE=Hentor the Barbarian] Yeah, and a video of a young man with an amusing appearance engaging in a solo light saber fight went farther than that. [/QUOTE] I’ve not seen the **Bush** video, and have no idea how popular it is, but that popularity is irrelevant to how far **Scylla** ’s works have gone. **RickJay** ’s call of bullshit was documentedly bullshit, and you appear to be allowing your distaste for **Scylla** get in the way of acknowleding that. **Scylla** is sometimes nuttier than a shithouse rat, but occasionally he writes well enough that others steal his work and attempt to claim it as their own. Has that ever happened to you **Mr. Barbarian**? I thought not. ---

[QUOTE=Squink] I’ve not seen the **Bush** video, and have no idea how popular it is, but that popularity is irrelevant to how far **Scylla** ’s works have gone. [/quote] My point was that the quality of the material (for which it is suggested we are at risk of jealousy) is independent of your citation to replication at other internet sites. For example, I recognize that many people bought the poster of a kitten hanging from a treelimb. I’ve never, however, been jealous of the talents of those who created it. > [@](#): > > **RickJay** ’s call of bullshit was documentedly bullshit, and you appear to be allowing your distaste for **Scylla** get in the way of acknowleding that. You’ve demonstrated nothing supportive of **Scylla’s** claims, have you? Which part of your clever link supports any of the following: “I’ve had them published, used by teachers in school, read over the radio, and been asked to have one turned into a film.” > [@](#): > > **Scylla** is sometimes nuttier than a shithouse rat, but occasionally he writes well enough that others steal his work and attempt to claim it as their own.

[QUOTE=Squink] **BULLSHIT**. You’re just lying because you’re jealous of **Scylla**. [/QUOTE] Not at all. One of my publications was a review article in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Someone else later wrote a manuscript reviewing the same literature and took large sections of my work without properly quoting them or attributing them. In the course of events, the manuscript was forwarded on to me, and the problems were corrected before they made it into print (fortunately for the authors of the other manuscript). You whiny little bitch. ---
