oh, so you were joking. of course you were.

I've made my point clearly. If you choose to ignore it, what can I do? If you perceive many people's opinions converging as persecution or bullying instead of simple agreement with a valid point.... well, what can be done? Ironic that you directed your barb as an aside to your pals spex and shawnee. They were, no doubt amused by your remarks....and since they agreed with something you said, must surely agree with everything you ever say.

You state that you only respond to fallacies and aspersions cast.... Spex says you only get nasty when someone else does first..... I don't know if that is strictly true... i don't really care... Thing is...is that it doesn't matter if you're instigated. 'he started it' didn't work when you were 11 yrs old....why would you try to use that argument now? If you refuse to be baited by those that are single faceted haters, they can't effect you. They can't have an argument where only one side is participating.

I say these things to you because you're here and talking..... I extend the same message to merc and classic, and whoever else habitually argues with their political nemesii.....(nemesises?) out of main habit.

But that is my (meaning me, jim....not me and the cool kids....or even jinx and I) opinion. It carries as much weight as does yours. I can't tell you what to do and expect you to obey. I'm just trying to point out some frustrating behavior in the hopes that the situation will improve.

apart from that, you can eat a dick.

Dude, I'm just minding my own fucking business. Leave me out of your directives, ok?

I haven't even responded in this thread!

'No doubt' and 'surely' imply you know what I'm thinking. I assure you, you don't. I wasn't going to reply to this stuff, was going to try a different tack, but you are dragging me in, through no fault of my own. How is this not instigating as well?

this was someone else logged in as you?

as for the rest, I was being sarcastic. I don't know that you are aligned with redux anymore than he/she knows that jinx and i are 'Royals' and everyone who has agreed with me are 'minions'

that was my point.

What, now I can't even make fun of UG's self-flagellatory posts? :lol:

Exactly what ARE the new rules? I won't follow them, but I'd like to know. Tony?

The new rule is don't act like a dick. It was codified a few years ago. The penalty is that, when you act like a dick, people think you're a dick. Most dwellars purposefully violate the rule.

Yeah I noticed.

ah, well fwiw, it looked more like you were replying to griff and that line of the discussion with the proper pronunciation of Amen. ( Ay Men, btw in my mind)

Then someone eats them. Everybody wins!

Nah, I don't care how anyone says Amen...Awomen, on the other hand, better say it right! ;)

lol at me being Jim's minion, pretty sure Jim doesn't even like me. Shut the fuck up you blabbering idiot.

oh I like you fine. I just don't remember knighting you.

Oooh, can I be a minion, too?

NO! You have to be an onion!

I will be a pinion.

Who wants to be a Funyun?

Grunion here.

STOP RHYMING, i MEAN IT!
