[QUOTE=Frank]
Why do you act so bewildered, elucidator? One is known by the company one keeps, after all. You are attempting to defend a leftist for his unacceptable views that a painful and suffering death are merely due retribution to his opponents; I am a leftist; I do not care to be associated with those views. How does it not insult me to imply that, as a leftist, I am also a holder of those views? Which you have! You have implied that all of us who feel strongly (in a negative way) about the Bush administration should feel that all members of the aforesaid should die a horrible and lingering death.
You have defended someone who has stated that.
[/QUOTE]
That’s how I insulted you. Thats why you’re justified in calling me nasty names. Well, OK, guess you need an enemy that bad, you made a pretty good pick. I fight hard, but I fight clean and I take prisoners. I also accept apologies. Which you owe me.
But, you know, you may be a bit too delicate to be a lefty, you bruise too easily. Might want to consider being a libertarian.
Dio, I’m worried for you. Are you doing okay? You’ve been acting more and more misanthropic and craven over the last few months. I feel like you’re flaming out a bit.
Maybe you should go and have a good day outside or something. You know, see green things, have an ice cream cone, go for a walk, find a dog and pet it.

You’re killing an ant with a grenade here, man. You just insulted a whole bunch of posters who haven’t done a thing to deserve it. Point the gun at me, ok.
[/QUOTE]
You’re right. I have a new weapon (perhaps you’ve heard of it?) that’s called the “Phase You Into Truth Gun”, which by default has ejected you from the remainder of this thread, by your own admission.
Sweet!
[QUOTE=wring]
Oh bull fucking shit. In this very goddam thread, it’s not true, since the OP was disagreed w/ within minutes of his post and Dio got immediately (2 minutes) slammed, continuing for pages, and by other liberals.
[/QUOTE]
Good thing I wasn’t talking about other liberals in this case, isn’t it? I said attitudes like his. I do understand that the proximity of my comment about liberals thinking conservatives are bad people maybe conflated the two, and I certainly didn’t intend that. I think it’s possible to believe that others are bad people for holding the views they do without wishing painful humiliating death on them.

Oh, no. I’ve got a sawed off shotgun filled with whatever it is they fill those things with, and it’s pointed at a large flock of soon-to-be-extinct passenger pigeons.

I’m starting to wonder if this “Minnesota nice” I keep hearing about is just bullshit. I sure don’t see much of it here.

Oh, its true enough! You spend a month here, you crave to fly to New York and bask in the malicious indifference.

I live in Minnesota, but I’m not from here. I’m originally from Louisiana.
Frank, for a person on such a moral high-ground you should be more careful where you step, lest you fall down.
Insulting elucidator like that was completely unwarranted. But worst of all, you validate Carol Stream’s thread-shitting with your personal biases. When a person is clearly mildly retarded as he/she is, you don’t lead them on like that. That’s just wrong. At best you politely brush them off. Diogene’s toe crust is worth more than Carol Stream’s total post count combined. Oh no, I guess that makes me a dick sucker too.
If you can’t separate your biases from your moderation you should either step out or step down, IMO. You could also learn a thing or too from Giraffe.
Diogenes I generally enjoy reading your posts but heh, while I can understand going off the rails the weasel stink will take a while to clear for this one.

May I opine that I’m glad Genghis Khan is dead, the dirty, murderous bastard? I don’t know how he died (actually, I don’t know that he died, but it’s a good guess)–I sure hope it was painful and lengthy, giving him plenty of agonizing time to think about all the folks he killed, and why that wasn’t a good way for him to have spent his life.
How disgusting am I being? You can tell me. Just plain disgusting? Fucking disgusting? Really, over-the-top fucking disgusting?

Uh, yeah…good comparison. Same thing exactly…

I think the point was that several people have said things like this quote
Snow and Khan were both human were they not.
[QUOTE=carnivorousplant]

Yeah, well given Diogenes’ abject lack of human decency upstream coupled with a promise by him to drop out of the thread lest it get too heated, then…yeah.
Selah.
DtC is just bummed and pissed that he is not a Real And Published Writer like Tony Snow, and must resort to posting bullshit 14 times a day on a fucking message board.
[QUOTE=elucidator]
…there are any number of people who are on “my side” of the political spectrum that we could do quite well without. Darth Nader, for instance.
[/QUOTE]
Pardon?
No, no, not you, the other Darth Nader. Gee, I hope you’re not insulted by me thinking that you’re you…no, wait…
(Ralph. Not you.)
[QUOTE=elucidator]
Be that as it may, how is that an insult to you?
[/QUOTE]
It doesn’t insult us at all. It simply makes you a syncophant that can’t see past Diogenes’ politics to the fact that he’s a total and utter dickhead.
A long time ago I accused you of “carrying water” for BrainGlutton in a Pit thread. Nothing has changed. As long as someone is taking a stance that is on “your side” you’ll defend him tooth and nail. More’s the pity.
People have said all sorts of things about me over the years, some nice, some not so nice. One thing that they have said is that I am willing to change my mind, I am willing to be convinced. You have never demonstrated the capacity to change. You toe the line come hell or high water, just like you’re doing now.
So, please, spare me the usual rhetoric. Over the years you have demonstrated quite the ability to talk loud, yet say nothing. You’ve done so in this thread. You’ll continue to do so. Keep toeing that line, elucidator. Fight the power. Maybe one day you’ll realize that some things aren’t worth defending, as it is here.

Well, not anything unnatural, but if God sees fit to strike Sean Hannity a flesh eating virus I might start going back to mass.
[/QUOTE]
Don’t do yourself that favor.
Your utter contempt for GOD and HIS ceremony causes me only to offer you my pity.
Face it. God doesn’t need you so don’t go ball baggin’ like a bitch now,
you fucking weak ass PUNK.
Once you stood tall like a man.
Fuck, now you cower like a **B I T CH **.
That respect thing you were so worried about?
Fuck that. It’s O V E R
Hope you and your hate are all happy together.
Pitch it or DIE with it. Be sure it wont give you anything but NOT A FUCKING THING.
Well, that was ** S C A R Y**.
First off,** Airman**, I’ve gone out of my way, more than once, to treat you with more respect and courtesy than you have shown me. Saw something in you worth addressing, maybe. And all I’ve got for it is the back of your hand. I hold my beliefs as sincerely as you hold you own, and for longer than you’ve been alive. You don’t like what I think? Well, after I get done crying myself to sleep, I’ll probably get over it.
And who’s this “us”? I was talking directly to Frank, you didn’t enter the conversation until you thrust yourself into it. You got a mouse in your pocket named “Frank”? Or are you insulted because you’re a leftist? (I don’t understand it either, you’ll have to ask him…)
And lastly, what is this crap about “your side”? I stated, clearly, without question, that it was an issue of behavior and not political alignment, yet, time and again, I got guys coming in telling me, no, its because of your politics, that’s what you really mean, that’s what you really think. Like you know my mind better than I do? You can take my inventory? Like hell you can.
