Now I know who you are.

Welcome back.

We’ve missed you.

Would it help if I apologized for what I said in a moment of rage and took it all back? Consider it done.

Now it’s up to Sevastopol to do the same for his statements about exterminating the Jews of New York and detonating nuclear bombs in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

By the way, what I said about lucid dreaming was a reference to A Clockwork Orange. Sorry if you didn’t get that. I’m not a proponent of rape or ultra-violence (though I do enjoy a bit of the old Ludwig Van.)

**Roseworm’s** got too much competition to make a clear-cut winner, I’m afraid – you can easily find statements from **Shodan, Sam Stone, Clothahump, ExTank, ralph124c, New Iskander,** and **danceswithcats** most days of the week that are just as inane.

Used to describe those disagreeing with the administration’s justification of its recent actions:

“Sadamites,” and “the pro-terror left.”

What would you like to cite as evidence? Disagreement wasn’t a cardinal sin, last time I checked. Kindly list something I’ve written which wasn’t an opinion, a courtesy that I’ve also offered you.

Anything posted by **december** , **His4ever** , **Jersey Diamond** , **Joe Cool** , **Wildest Bill**.

That one chick who was obsessed with Englebert Humperdinck. **KayKay** , the blowjob queen.

I kinda disagree about **December**. I thought it was a shame he got banned. There’s not enough equal opinions on both sides of many arguments; Great Debates is full of dogpiles and back-patting on anything but the most mundane i.e. “Coke or Pepsi?” type arguments.

Well, uh, I mean, yeah there’s plenty of people that disagree with others here, but not enough that can do it in a civil manner. **December** didn’t seem any better or worse than **Diogenes the Cynic** from my end of the monitor. 😛

No, actually that would be \*\*Snuffiekinpreciouskitty’smommy \*\* or the like. Graycat is me, and has nothing to do with any pets, past or present.

I will note that the I was posting an opinion in IMHO, in agreement with the OP. I have kids, I am proud of my kids, but I do not get my identity from my kids and I don’t understand the mindset that the only accomplishment of value a grown woman has is having produced offspring.

Thank you for the nomination, but if that is the most asinine post you could find, you must have skipped all the pre- and post-election threads.
