Most of my threads are from the news, if there is a bitter "undertone" it is not of my doing.
However, I agree, don't like me ignore my posts... it is what a mature person would do.

Really? You wouldn't say this cute little commentary on your own news article isn't bitter? Not even a little bit?

I didn't think that sounded bitter. I have read some stuff rk posted that did...but I don't think that did. It just sounded funny to me.

Yes, please explain how that is bitter.

Main Entry: 1bit·ter
Pronunciation: \ˈbi-tər\
Function: adjective

2: marked by intensity or severity:
a: accompanied by severe pain or suffering
b: being relentlessly determined
c: exhibiting intense animosity
d (1): harshly reproachful (2): marked by cynicism and rancor

None of which are present, thanks for the vindication.

rk has been adament, strongwilled and over-the-top at times - but thats not really one of the best examples.

i can sympathize with RKZ, Pain is my constant companion.

We may not always agree. If we ever did, I would have to find someplace else to play. Personal attacks are uncalled for, and the last refuge of the uneducated. Can't we all just get along, just a little?:grouphug:

For the same reason people who obviously don't like what rkz has to say but keep responding to him.

Also, as i mentioned, I think these threads are a deliberate attempt to be hurtful and I don't think it's necessary for grown ups to behave like this. As everyone here knows, there have been times when I've had problems with other people here, but I've never started a thread about their shitty comments and expected people to agree with me about it. I have commented before in Jims thread asking if he's a bully because he posed the question himself, so to me that's a different situation. Also, I stated my point of view and that was pretty much it.

Ultimately, I know people are going to continue to behave the way they do because it's just the way people are. I guess they're not responsible for the things they might say to deliberately hurt others. Yeah, maybe rkz doesn't care about this thread or the things people say, but maybe it does hurt other people. Maybe it disappoints people to know that there is so much malice even in a community like this.

Right, whatever. Rk is just a non-confrontational kind of guy, with no animosity towards religion whatsoever (he only means "fucking scumbags" in the politest possible way!), and his perpetual baby-talk dialect doesn't imply anything cynical about the intellect of believers, and though he finds a way to cram religion into the majority of his posts--even a completely innocuous news story about a scientific discovery, which makes no mention of religion, nor did any board member try to counter the article with creationist claims (hell, ever since OnyxCougar left I'm pretty sure there isn't a single creationist on the cellar at all)--he is not being in any way relentless.

And you know, case in point, it was a really interesting article, and would have almost certainly gotten more than four responses if he hadn't opened the discussion with his typical off-topic mockery and derision.

But you're right, Dana, clearly it was funny. The only way it could have been funnier is if he'd written "debbil" instead of "satan." Zing! No one would have seen that one coming!

Whatever. I'm done trying to help him understand why so many people think he's an asshole. Obviously it's a lost cause.

Brianna, yes I was thinking of you, and one or two others when I posted that comment. Probably because I was one of your main targets and to my mind had done nothing to deserve the crap you flung at me. I appreciate that you're working through your issues now and certainly hope you get them sorted out for your own benefit. I wont mention it again.

Yeah, that was my point.

So why'd you ask then matey?

Anyway, you're right. I'll just stay out of it now.

Just trying to make the point with the least amount of typing on my part.

sheer volume and redundance...and repetition. i just can't resist that joke. ever. what?

:biggrin:

Understand, or care?
Some people take everything personally... I won't pander to that. If someone gives me a logical, specific, reason, that shows why and how I have offended them I will consider it.
If it is just a "feeling"... nope.

Edit:
Just disagreeing is never logical, no matter what the subject.

He is a good challenge for debate.
No harm done.

Thanks.

Really good perspectives and thoughts. I couldn't pick just one to comment on. Everyone has their good points....Kinda like a bowl of M-n-M's. :)

We could all see that you were not thinking rationally about the issue. That's why you took two pages of stare-down after your meltdown.

Ill ignore you for awhile. [/jinx]

makes you fucking crazy, doesn't it?



of course, UG prolly doesnt give a shit what you do.

Obviously, your husband is obsessed with me. She says she'll ignore me, but.....

Tell her to stop, k? It makes me uncomfortable.

DUDE.

The only reason she acts like she's choosing to ignore me is because she can't defend herself against what I've said. She knows I'm right, and she knows she'll look foolish if she tries. And looks are what's most important to a shallow person, right?

you're so fucked up. just stop. you're making yourself look spiteful and bitter. I'm going to threaten you soon. this is a warning.

ooooooooo. I'm scared.

Are you so pussy whipped that you fight all of her battles? Or do you fight them because she's incapable?

do you have a book you're getting these lines out of? last warning. drop it, doughboy.

Or what?

OR ......


you'll get 'the treatment'

Can't you two just meet at a local motel for your love fest?

on second thought....i want to apologize to jinx. I shouldn't have butted in. she can totally handle herself, and obviously had the right idea by ignoring the provocation. She's tons smarter than me. I will probably get my ass handed to me tonight when i get home.....sorry, smoochie.

i have asshole buttons all over me.

jesus, another one. i wonder where all the love will pop up next.

Somehow, I don't think I'm going to have to look very far.

Uh-oh. Looks like pussywhipped got a call from skanx, telling him to stop. Or did she just take your balls out of her pocketbook and give them a hard squeeze?

weed

Butthole barrages board with bullshit: gets busted as Bruce.

Hmmm...have i missed something?

what we are given to know about mr rage
 

i feel like i forgot something

I can't ever remember posing for a photo with a pipe.
You know all that about me and all I know is that you are a dick and yet, I still don't feel cheated.

yeah, it was the point you were trying to make.

what was it?

fuck!

tazer thwarter inventor! I knew i forgot something!

Yep, I think you've hit the important points LJ.

I want to invent it... I have not. Get it right.

It's like a train wreck.

You know what you're going to see, but you just can't help looking anyway.

damn! 'potential tazer thwarter inventor?'

Get back to work.

Without suggesting I condone the list...
You did miss out the fact that he considers all European countries to be fascist police states and all Europeans undeserving of freedom.

You missed the property rights as long as he isn't personally inconvenienced thing and that fact that he is, apparently, an atheist. there were also claims about gas mileage and atheism

looks like someone's in luuuuurve!

He worked as a bouncer
He worked on a ranch
He worked as an actor
He worked in insurance
He had a conversation with Drew Barrymore
People are writing scripts for him

I think the Talking Heads had a song with these lyrics.

this ain't no party ,
this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fool'n around !!

Not a script for me, will put a small part in for me from time to time. Get it right. You too UT... I'm flattered.

at what point do the delusional come to the realization that when everyone has a problem with them, it might not be everyone else that has the problem?

Please, enlighten us to my "problem" sport.

Who is "us"?

Who is "everyone"?
