Tardgasm? Cuntasstasia? E? et. al.?

What is it worth to you? We have a precedent at this board of people being paid to go away. How much will you pony up to not have me pointing and laughing as you pretend to be good people?

Nobody here takes you seriously enough to bother paying you to go away when a simple “Ignore” will work the same. It’s a bit of a shame, really. I don’t remember you being such an amazingly regressive asshole before as you’ve been since 2015 or so. You stepped right off the cliff. Sad.

I’ll pay three Pachinko balls and half a pack of Camels for you to throw yourself into a volcano.

Who are you, again?

I’d rather see people refute you with counterarguments that go right over that festering boil that serves you where normal people have a head.

I’d like to see you leave. The board would be a better place without you.

But I’m not going to pay you. I did however report you.

Obviously his retirement is not going well. He’s bored and has nothing better to do.

And pathetic. It’s not even good trolling. Trolling is supposed to make you feel mad, not pity.

This might be the most pathetic thread I’ve ever seen, which is an achievement in and of itself.

A Pitee party. I don’t want you to go away, I want you get well. If that is elsewhere, go there. If it is here, stay.

If you’re really hard up for cash, I’ll give you ten bucks to take that old mattress out of my garage.

People were paid money to stay away? What a dumb idea. But tell me, for how much?

I’ll pay $50 for you to write all future comments in iambic pentameter.  
Don’t knock it, that’s the best offer so far.

I agree with this. You used to be different. You were always a bit of a dick but it was entertaining and occasionally useful. You’ve seemingly fallen on dark times in your personal life and you need to fix whatever is broken.

I take it your health care plan doesn’t pay for psychiatric care? If you start a GoFundMe for that purpose I might contribute to it.
