I’m not RTF, Nav…_grin_ And it would appear we’re playing “Let’s talk to the delusional troll.” Always a fun game around these parts. ---

Yawn… stupid human tricks bore me on TV and on the internet… someone impress me, convince me… that I should in any way FURTHER verify anything i say… or who i am? oh and by the way… why not check the Aerojet homepage… and also start a hunt of the locations i mentioned… and the projects… perhaps you all can find something, and save me having to refer to it? ---

use dopedb go insert into losers (name,code,note) values (“FORMERAGENT”,“Nutball”,“Avoid at all costs”) go insert into trolls (name,code,note) values (“FORMERAGENT”,“Nutball”,“Avoid at all costs”) go delete from worth\_attention where name = “FORMERAGENT” go _(sure am glad I got that new troll table built)_ ---

Well, I admit, I am not “out there” like Formeragent. Cause man, he is waaaaaay out there. David B, His post struck me clearly as a death threat to you. “so let me start thinking of an excuse to remove you David… of course remember, its business not personal, and its always a matter of national security” How else do you take that? ---

I don’t see a death threat (or a threat at all). What have you been smoking? ---

FORMERAGENT - This board is different from yours. I went, I read what I could (what wasn’t deleted), but never obtained a UserName there. I am on record as disagreeing with those who did post. But just as they were wrong to go there & laugh at the way you chose to run your board, you are wrong to come here, and criticize ours. Our “moderators” rarely intervene in our discussions. We do not need authorities telling us what we may, or may not discuss. When David is posting here, he is posting his personal views, and not directing the discussion one way or another as a moderator. If you dislike this style of discussion, go elsewhere, or rant about it in the Pit, but veiled (or not so veiled) threats are actionable anywhere. We have welcomed LB members who wanted to come here and post freely. We do not welcome spammers or threat-makers. Do you know how much damage you are doing to Christians on this board by your actions? This is not Christian behavior. * * * Sue from El Paso Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted. ---

You all strike me as funny… very direct, very sure, very confident… then we play the game called “now what?” and you all seem scared… you all talk as though you were experts, and authorities, yet when faced with one, you mock… then when the authority and backing are shown… as Phaedrus saw You all sound almost scared… dont let another creature smell your fear… they will kill you bristle, and shows some integrity and guts, die with dignity, or even in some cases, win with honor… cowards run and scream and call attention to themselves, only to die another day, in a dark alley, to be found months later… unidentifiable put up some contest here, dont bore me ---

FORMER AGENT - You are in direct violation of section 34, article 79, of the Interplanetary Secret StuF act. Chief director, Roy Orbison has called for your decommission, and removal of all foil from your brain-ray hat. Please hum the Clockwork Orange soundtrack, backwards, and report to the dark side of the moon for debriefing. We know who you are…don’t make us send Elvis. ---

formeragent: > [@](#): > > You all strike me as funny… Well, we do what we can. > [@](#): > > very direct, very sure, very confident… then we play the game called “now what?” and you all seem scared… Again, you flatter yourself. I doubt that anyone whose path you have crossed is genuinely frightened of you. Openly derisive? Oh yeah. Frightened? It is to laugh. > [@](#): > > you all talk as though you were experts, and authorities, yet when faced with one, you mock… Well, we haven’t met one yet. . .just li’l old you. > [@](#): > > You all sound almost scared… Again, your delusion of grandeur is showing. Tell ya what, FA. I’m not only unafraid of you, I challenge you to either demonstrate that you are as powerful as you claim, or shut the hell up. Ball’s in your court. Waste Flick Lives! ---

As a bonus, it is nice to see FORMERAGENT now doing all of his posting from hom einstead of wasting government resources and taxpayer money by using his super-secret car-based computer hookup. * * * Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling. ---
