I’m pretty sure everyone wants to meet me.

They’re just too shy to say so.

hmm… I’ve been mentioned in 2 threads, one my own, and one was about a central MN dopefest (Yahoo, I was invited) anyhow… yea,  
everyone does not want to meet me, you all are just to nice to say that 😛

Congrats on 1200, Olentzero-

I may get there myself sometime in the next decade.

I’d like to meet you, for sure!

As for the rest of you, I would like to meet each and every one of YOU, also. Anyone who posts to this oh so wonderful place is a much desired meetee, IMHO. (There are a few exceptions, but none have posted here, most having been banned and all.)

I would just like to state for the record that I am the person **oldscratch** was quoting. Please read it again–it just says I don’t hate **Cnote** and that I’d kind of enjoy watching him get raped by kangaroos. It says nothing about wanting to meet him. _Nobody_wants to meet **Cnote** –this issue has been discussed by the committee, and it’s unanimous.

(No hard feelings, **Cnote**. I mean, you already knew this, right?)

I’ve tacked on over a thousand posts since June, and I think I was mentioned maybe five times. ::sigh:: Maybe I’m just not posting to the right threads.

I’m with Scotti: I’d like to meet just about everyone. I said in my post I wanted to meet everyone I’ve posted to, or who’s posted back to me… but there are a lot of you whom I’ve never interacted with but still want to meet. It’d be cool if we could all get together-- the conversations we’d have!

Sweetheart! I do not believe that you would be so unkind, and so I choose to believe that you were joking. And if you weren’t joking, perhaps you should rethink your position, and retroactively decide that you were, just because it is never good to be umkind. This guy may not be your (or my) cup of tea, but he isn’t a bad person, is he? Can’t we just all get along?

Scotti: MysterEcks IS a sweetheart, and was just kidding…um, weren’t you??? 😉

Y’know, Scotti, if you’re gonna make me be nice all the time, I’m liable to get awfully boring.

Let me put it this way–I’m not on any committes, kangaroos don’t ordinarily gang-rape humans, and Cnote isn’t on my shitlist. I’m just being funny, or at least what passes for it with me.

(Cnote–ignore this whole exchange. It’s not funny, and I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t have this low-level messageboard crush on Scotti. Pretend I meant the first post. Thanks.)

Thanks, Anti…but you do realize that saying stuff like this seriously impedes my ability to intimidate people, right?

Boy, have we got a love starved bunch here or what? Man, the turnout here is impressive. It’s almost as though the need to express that feeling of unwantedness is the great equalizer.

Alrighty, then. The preceeding existential moment was brought to you by nobody.

**Scotticher** - I’m not your cup of tea?

How very… very… _French_ of you. Considering the French are not known for liking much of anything outside of their own checkered past, a past filled with people trying desperately to flee, and I guess I’ll take your statement as a compliment.

So, tell me. Are you French? Are you naked?

I’m not French, I’m not naked, and that didn’t come across the way I meant it to. I’ll take my foot out of my mouth any day now, I promise!

Thanks for correcting my spelling mistake, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar.

Like THAT will ever happen! 😃

Turns out, that whole thing was MY feeble attempt at humor, and upon re-reading it I think I must have been in a weird mood last night.

[sub]and I can think you are a sweetheart if I WANT to, so there[/sub]😛

Gotcha, Anti Pro.😉

Okay, MysterEcks is a BAD, BAD dude. He prowls the board, looking for people to intimidate. He takes candy from babies. He calls people on the phone and asks them if they have Prince Albert in a can. When he quotes other posters, he inserts spelling errors, just to make them look illiterate. His football team literally **mows down the competition** um, wait a minute-I may be prone to using poetic license, but I can’t in all good conscience just come right out and LIE, can I?

Especially since my team isn’t exactly on fire, either.

No one wants to meet me. ☹

Why? Is it the Necromancy? The evil? The conquering? Someone tell me.

I’m lonely.
