That’s just like…your opinion man. Iampuhna should know what I was refering to. Up until he said that in the thread you’re speaking of, suicide wasn’t mentioned. Why don’t you mind your own fucking business? Now someones going to kill themselves because of me? Why don’t you just blame global warming on me too while your at it bird boy. ---

So you’re the one responsible for global warming? I have some things to say to you… How did you do it? You must be a god of some sort. Let’s see- if I had an immovable object, or the Ultimate Burrito, could you move/eat it? 😉 I am curious about something. Why do you keep fighting? You may be right, you may be wrong. I’ve read your thread over, and I just can’t see why you don’t just walk away if you feel that your detractors have no point. You know that you will change few minds, regardless of how convincing your arguments happen to be. I see that you’re capable of compromise; I don’t suggest you compromise with everyone but this message board is a community. There is room for you here too. Why continue the bad feelings- show everyone how mature and compromiosing you are, and leave this one alone. Post something meaningful somewhere else, and if someone carries this argument there you have made your point. I’m not condemning you; I don’t even wish to argue. If you took the time to come here you can learn something like everyone else and you can possibly contribute something positive. ---

I do try to leave (both) threads die and at certain times make it a point not to respond. The original “Kitty” thread was off the page but then someone gets on there and acts like a total ass. No, make that plural. People get on there and act like one giant collective ass and then take solice in the idea that if their ass is so huge it can’t be wrong. I’m just taking them to the bank on that. If I were indeed being what I were accused of, the thread would’ve been closed by now. I’m treating them the way they’re treating me and they don’t like what they see. Why am I not the bigger person? Because that isn’t my station in life. My station in life is to call your fucking cards no matter the futility of it. Now I do intend on getting along here with everyone else outside of the PIT. SPOOFE answered a question I had in GQ which might have seemed stupid to him/her but took the time to answer it without making me feel stupid. SPOOFE also told me to fuck off in the PIT. I still believe that he/she would still entertain a question I have in the future and I will still appreciate the answer as if he never told me to fuck off. I’m not worried about anyone who can’t do that. ---

Ban me why? Take an alka-seltzer and go into a thread that agrees with you more Particlewill-not. ---

**Rooves** , perhaps reading the boards a bit more, and posting less, would be an advisable strategy for you - at least for now. You come across as awfully confrontational, often merely for the fun of it, or so it seems. That latter part is your problem - you often look like someone who’s spoiling for a fight. Whether you mean this or not, I can’t tell from a couple of posts. But if you keep it up, chances are your life span on these boards will be limited. If that’s not what you want, then take a step back, and a deep breath. I mean, pitting people for talking about cats? Seriously, now. **Eternal** : you seem to be holding on quite long, for someone who thinks these boards are run by a bunch of powerhungry assholes. **RJKugly** , thanks for the props. You nailed it, as far as I’m concerned. ---

**Rooves** , since you’ve indicated in the other thread that you don’t notice who’s a moderator and who’s not, let me point out for you that **Coldfire** _is_ a moderator. So you may wish to listen to him. ---

Coldfire, thanks for the warning. (I suggested awhile back that both threads created by me be closed) As strange as it might seem, I like this place so I’ll stop.So if anyone responds, they’ll only be preaching to their own choir. My last words in this thread will be: Most of the people who responded in this thread exhibit a pack mentality which can be far more dangerous than a jerk any day of the week. ---

What’s wrong with this picture? Let me paraphrase you: “I’m not going to say anything more in this thread, because I’m the bigger person … oh, and by the way, most of you are jerks.” ---

I agree that there is a profound tendency of those “in power” to abuse their authority on this and any other message board. In a recent thread someone told me, unprovoked, to eat dog poop. I told him to eat me and I was reprimanded! I think the mods should stay out unless a thread gets totally out of control, offensive, or breaks the law. If people are posting, people are reading it. Isn’t that the point here? If you don’t like a topic move to another. ---

You’re not paying attention, buckaroo, else you’d notice just how little cohesion there is 'mongst those that are supposedly in cahoots. 'Course, that might be part of our plan. The Clique has an amazing ability to really sow confusion 'mongst their enemies. In fact, at the last meeting, we spent twenty minutes talking about you and you alone. Be afraid; you have the focus of The Clique! ::cue ominous music here:: ---
