They not only would, they did, repeatedly. The posse/ lynch mob only work on the consensus of the people present. If 50% said hang 'em and nobody forces them to stop, they hanged 'em.

Actually, democracy was pretty good for that.

A spirited discussion is possible without it being an informed discussion.

What if the posse represented the society.

Sorry, I wasn't aware that I wasn't supposed to respond to her.

You and Classicman should warn people about these rules in advance.

How about you guys both go fuck yourselves? Could you do that, hmmmm?

Fucking assholes should be banned for being fucking assholes. At the very least, merc's constant spread of shit ought to be seriously looked at.

So your approach is better, to talk down to me like I'm a blithering idiot? That does not give you any credibility here, not with the mostly thoughtful and thinking persons here whose opinion means more than just a big pile of steaming shit.

Oh, and go fuck yourselve. Better yet, fuck each other. You can whisper sweet shit to each the entire time and it'll probably be the best sex you've ever had.

And EAD.

Well, that was an interesting little outburst.

Take a step back, Shaw. They aren't the reason you're angry.

Pico and ME · 02-15-2009, 02:05 PM

Thats good advice Shawnee, however, Merc is the true asshowl around here, so I know where you are coming from and why you responded that way...

They may not be the whole reason for my anger, but they were huge contributors to the cause. Seriously, wtf was that? And this TGGR guy, what's he, like Asshole Runner Up in case TehMercenary can't fulfill his duties of King Asshole?

Fuck. That.
