Blue Green.

Wally want a saint. We know that. But he was wone of the kindest, smartest, funniest and all-round great guy that I have had the pleasure of exchanging words with in my 21 years on this earth.

So if you say something that can be construed as derogatory about a man (who’s passing had people who had never met him in person **crying** when they read the news, for your information)that we admire, dont be suprized to find your tighty-wighties smelling like barbecued chicken.

Goddammit, first they go after Silent Bob, in a CONDOLENCE thread nonetheless, and now WALLY? These assholes don’t know when to stop.

Okay, I’m a newbie. I never had the immense pleasure of meeting Wally, but I have read a LARGE number of his threads, and I was down for at LEAST a week after I read the thread about his death. Wally and his threads are one of the main reasons I signed on to this board. He has influenced it in so many ways, and for you to insult him just for using a word like “putz,” well, I’m sorry, but that’s just low.

It almost makes me ashamed to have signed on at the same time as all you people, on the off chance that someone might wrongly group me with the rest of YOU.

I believe the word is not “construed” in this case, but “misconstrued”.

You said the exact same thing I did, but Jester seems to think that because you were responding to me it was different somehow.

Jester- Read a little more closely next time, OK? Your’re being a jerk. (I hope you can get that part wihtout misconstruing it.)

As to the Condolence part that everyone seems so concerned about, I didn’t say anything at all about it. I wasn’t on the original thread.

But one guy who apparently was said this:

I find it kind of odd that Blue Green, ET, and Pink all seem to know all the posters here, even though they are supposedly “newbies”. I also find it odd that these “newbies” would come in and attack respected members of the board, one of them in no less than a condolence thread.

So…which respawned troll is this? I think it’s logical to assume they’re all the same person, since they all have the same ignorant posting style.

One by you one by Easy Toyko. Strange that you both hold the same view about something that the majority of people IMO wouldn’t care about.

Your quoting ShakeNBake is also interesting. Why would you do that. You came into this thread to reply to Yue Han about a point to do with WallyM7. Now suddenly you enter the condolence part of the argument. WHY.

You all have low post counts (which in and of itself isn’t a bad thing at all) but it means that you haven’t really made friends here yet. So why come to a thread and back up strangers about something that is so obviously wrong. In fact as far as I can see you and the rest haven’t even shared threads apart from this one and the condolence thread (not you but the other two genius’s :rolleyes: )

I can only see 3 options .

1. You are all the same person. I don’t care if IP’s don’t match. I have 3 free ISP’s on my comp. and could easily have more.

2. You all know each other and are laughing with each other about being able to get us to jump thru hoops for you. There is a certain pacing to all of your postings which makes it seem you what this to keep going.

3. You all are the biggest pack of cunts I have seen in a long time.

Either way you all(and you know who you are) have show yourselves to be beyond redemption in my book.

A troll or a person/s I personally want nothing to do with.

Enjoy your posting life here.

And if I may one more time. :wally

HEY!

Doesn’t anyone else see what is happening? This is so like _ **The Manchurian Candidate** _ it could have been lifted right from the script. It’s almost like some “sleepers” were planted weeks or months ago, only to be called to action by a particular set of events (“Why don’t you pass the time by playing a little Solitaire?”)

Just sayin’ is all…

I am perfectly willing to accept I’m being an idiot about all but this: “I personally want nothing to do with”.

I also realise I’m also keeping this thing alive so I’ll stop now.

yojimbo:

**Blue Green** is the asshole who responded to me.

**Green Bean** is a poster who isn’t involved in this at all.

BG;

what the hell does Shake’n’Bake’s comment have to do with anything?  
and, no, If I was to construe something, I would understand it.  
If I was to misconstrue something, it would mean that I made a mistake, and everybody knows that never happens. 😉

Wow! The first time I get solidly flamed, and it was all a mistake!

No sweat, **yojimbo.** Thanks for pointing it out, **Yue Han**

Blue Green-

```
 I don't know why the hell you're pissed at me. In case you didn't notice, my post wasn't directed at you, AT ALL. You and TwistofFate said that Wally wasn't a saint. No kidding. I'll be the first to agree. The people I was directing my post at were those who would, the way I see it, attack a great guy just because he uses a word like "putz." If you can quote the part of my post that you think attacks you, I'll be glad to call you a blithering idiot. I don't like you very much, but I wasn't even talking about you. Get over your martyr complex, and realize that there are other people being flamed on this thread.
