xtisme, come on down, you muppet!

In case you missed it, I opened my thread in the Pit because I didn’t want a debate, I wanted a chance you tell you what I thought of your posts.

With me so far?

Now, I’ve just said in my previous post that I didn’t want a debate. I also gave my main reason why I didn’t want a debate.

Do you get that? Let me reiterate… I didn’t want a debate.

Has it sunk in yet?

Which ivan am I talking to now? Is this crazy ivan, mad ivan, or troll ivan? Or is it some other ivan? And have you tried upping the voltage yet?

If you’ve already got me figured as well as you think, you tell me.

This just gets better every time I check in.

Now our dear brilliant ivan, conspiracy theorist, raging woo addict, Logic 101 dropout, petulant brat and all-round crank, is going to take Administrator and Moderator Gfactor to task for “basic comprehension errors.”

The irony is so thick that you could stand a beach umbrella in it.

Conn, Sonar! Crazy Ivan!

I van to be alone.

All stop, quick quiet!

(seriously, doesn’t he seem to be doing Crazy Ivan’s right and left in this thread??)

Well shoot Ivan, you stuck it out for 9 pages, in addition to your 6K+ posts, so we assumed you could make the effort to back up your claims. But alas, we didn’t take your low self-esteem into account. Never mind that you started this Pit thread; we’re obviously too smart and mean spirited for you to properly express your thoughts.

So we’re sorry we didn’t take your inadequacies into account. Will this nifty UFO toy make it aww better?

Of course not, you’re way too dumb to have a debate. You’d be lucky to manage small talk without saying something indefensibly stupid.

I dunno. He doesn’t seem to be making any turns at all. He’s just boring in at flank speed right into Thor’s Twins.

You recruiting, Giraffe? OK, you can have him. No, really, least we could do.

runs into Ivan at bus stop

Innocent Bystander: “Looks like rain.”
Ivan: “That’s what your mother said when I fucked her in the ass!”

I’m pretty sure that would be like giving a stuffed bunny to my dogs – they’d have fun with it, but it wouldn’t last long and then the pieces would be everywhere. (None of the other trolling tards have lasted very long.)

A debate? Oh, I’m sorry, this is abuse! Debates are down the hall.

Stupid git.

No, wait - I think you missed the point.

Ivan IS an alien BEM. By posting in such a manner, he’s subtly steering us all to disbelieve in the existence of aliens. It’s a Purloined Letter - hiding in plain sight - sort of thing, as they plot our overthrow.

Damn, them BEMs are sneaky!

The other thing he missed is, in effect he was junior modding by trying to alter the direction of the thread, before the thread’s OP had even had a chance to respond. Mr Kobayashi later came in to say he didn’t even mind me making the posts I did , but xtisme decided on a whim to jump in feet first.

Tosser!

Oh. Uh, wow. That sounds extremely insignificant.

But I guess it follows your running logic that if people in the SDMB are mean to you, then UFOs must be real.

It’s almost like you still don’t realize that we can all go back and LOOK at the other thread and, you know, scroll up. :stuck_out_tongue:

Here is what I said:

And, just for fun, here is what a REAL mod had to say about your post:

ETA: I don’t see where Mr Kobayashi said it was ok to hijack his thread. I only see where he says “I hadn’t considered the military implications, although with evidence that we’re definitely not alone I can imagine the world’s militaries gearing up for a worst case scenario. Which might be a good thing, as war is generally accompanied by increases in technology. Only this time we’d have the benefits of war without the actual…war bit” which isn’t the same thing.

All I did was suggest the possibilty that they might have already visited, which raises the question of why governments haven’t already done what the OP was asking.

I then provided the name of a book, that as far as I’m aware, is the nearest thing to an authoritative catalogue of military encounters with what could be alien craft. Perhaps posters could provide a better source than the one I have mentioned?

Which wasn’t what the OP was asking. You provided a drive post with a throw away link that was a hijack to the thread, since it wasn’t relevant to the OP. As I said in the post that apparently kicked off this train wreck, if you wanted to talk about the government covering things up in the context of answering the OP by going on to actually address the questions in the OP, then that would be one thing. You didn’t do that.

Is ya stupid? If they had done so THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIJACKING THE THREAD AS WELL! Good grief…you really don’t get it. :smack:
