What a pathetic post. Just my opinion of course mate. I don't give a rats arse if I'm in the minority. Better that than a sheep.

You're a rude individual.

Ali,

Do you think Rage wants you to treat him differently because he is unwell? Do you think he deserves special treatment?? You dishonor him, more likely.

I can see taking it easy on someone who is demonstrably mentally incapable of knocking heads with a fully jaded and sharp bladed dwellar, but Rob is in full command of his mental faculties, and has more time at his disposal than most of us. advantage his. besides the dizzying intellect.....oh wait...

i see what you're saying....I'm afraid I am rather dim... You already knew all that, and you were trying to misdirect some of the chaff. carry on.

No Jim, I don't think he should be treated differently. That's why I don't think he should have an entire thread devoted to hating him/taking the piss out of him/passing judgement on him.

If there is one thing about this place that I don't like, it's these types of threads. I don't think they serve any purpose. Whatever happened to attacking the post not the poster? I have had as many run ins with rkz as anyone else. Maybe even more, but I'm not taking it personally. I don't agree with how he makes his point sometimes either, but those are the times I take it up with him rather than making a hero out of someone who happens to give him a serve.

If I started a thread about everyone that said stupid stuff around here I'd be starting threads all day long.

To add to this, I don't see why rkz should have been singled out. There are a couple of women currently posting on this site who've been complete bitches but did anyone start these types of threads about them? I don't think so. So what's the difference? If you can explain that I might understand where you're coming from.

I think she means me.


It's ok. I was a bitch. Though, actually, I'd be flattered if someone started a "Brianna is a Bitch" thread---coz attention,any attention,(plus the added bonus of alliteration!) is good----right?



Right!

The difference, as the 'headline' indicates, is that the bitches are not starting several threads a day and hurling their views and morals at our heads like rocks. they're just bitching, as bitches are wont to do.

Right!
Ali said 'complete bitch' I am wondering which one of us is a bitch completely instead of just a lame one.

Polls need to be taken. Lame bitches to the left. Complete bitches to the right.

Why wouldn't you just ignore them then? Why involve yourself in threads you don't like?

Right!
Brianna is a britch? (or is that assonance?)

I'm glad to see you're back.

The double standard I see is that many folks here post with the same demeaning tone that RK does, but no one "calls" them on it or starts a thread about them. Why not? Think about Bruce and Radar (and others) in the "do you own a gun" thread. Why no thread about that?

I'm interested to find out the difference between Radar & Bruce's behavior and RK' behavior, and why there's no objection to similar behavior by others. Care to answer the question?

I think it would be important to note that in years past Radar has been called out repeatedly.

Bruce has been slapped around in individual posts, but the huge difference is that you look at his more aggressive posts in the context of the thousands of laid-back posts and cut some slack.

I don't know Rob. I tend ignore most of his threads not because I don't like him, but really just because there are so damn many of them and they generally have a pretty bitter undertone. That is not something I appreciate. So my choice is to just not go there. That isn't a judgement on him, it is a choice of what to do with my time.

Oh, and LJ's a dick and we should all start threads telling everyone what a creep he is.

That's totally unnecessary. There'd really be no "discussion" - even he agrees that he's a dick. :p


Cock!
