Felice, you’ve got it all wrong. First, it doesn’t make me happy, it doesn’t make me sad, it doesn’t make me anything.
Like you, I also attempt (sure, sometimes it may not work) to “phrase my words carefully, so that I convey precisely what I mean”.
As far as worrying about stepping on everyone’s toes all the time…Hey, if doing so makes your life better, more power to you. I just subscribe to the notion that my life is not any worse if I have offended someone through rational thoughts and actions.
You seem to have a hard time following this, so I’ll lay it out nice and neat for ya:
peligro! (the former Trollpuppet) posts complaining about being banned and asks why. Says he doesn’t understand why.
Krispy Original reads thread. Krispy Original notices that Trollpuppet had posted criticism designed to “stir up ill feelings toward the SDMB”.
Krispy Original makes a brief reply to peligro!, informing peligro! that criticism of the board and/or moderators can be grounds for bannishment.
DavidB posts, taking a shot at Krispy, designed to elicit a response (i.e. a troll)
There it is David. The truth. Also, for your edification, I’d be more than happy to provide proof that criticism of the board and/or moderators can be grounds for banishment. Would you like me to post the proof?
I’d like to point out that both of the objects of my scathing constructive criticism have deflected the blow. The Infidel changed the subject to another imagined injustice and violation of the rules by a moderator, and David accused me of indulging myself in deadly sin.
Now I remember why I LOVE this board.
Ps. I may still be anal, Brian, but I’ll bet you’re glad you lost the spam sig, eh?
Ah, is that how you do it, David? I was wondering how you were managing to maintain your calm, composed demeanor and good humour in the face of such terrifying threats and witty, scathing, assaults on your good name and character. It’s the bracelets.
Well, Krispy; I ** ain’t no newbie**, & I know you as well as anybody on this board–& you are a jerk as well as a credulous fool who will buy any crock-of-crap nonsense that a swindler can cram into a UFO book.
Your pretensions to authority & capacity to ignore both rational responses & the laws of the physical universe leave you in a poor position to belittle others.
True, you are not a “newbie”; but that doesn’t make you any smarter, nor make your pseudo-arguments any more persuasive. It merely means that your ignorance is “aged in the wood”–the wood between your ears.
In closing, clean up your dirty yap, or I’ll send over a highly skilled, elite team of termites who’ll give you a lobotomy.
I’m looking forward to your sniveling reply, swine.
PS–how do you like my sig line?
With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince. With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D, and you still have the frog you started with.
