Da Schneib shows up late

[Jason]

We've just moved to Rant Level One.

Lie.

Please tune to your emergency broadcast system for further details.

You're gaming the system!

[Hermit]

My intent was to try to keep it from spilling over onto the rest of the forum, and this thread is one in which I have the moral ascendency, that is, it's mine. Nobody can whine I screwed the thread up.

Also, I said my say, and everybody had their say about that, and then I had my say about that, and it looks like we're done. If we're not we can come back here and bitch at each other some more. But I suspect I made my point.

Cheeses fucking crust, Gawd, your timing is impeccable - if your intention is to fan the embers.

He knows he can get away with it.

Get away with what?

[Schneibster]

If you're just gonna be a dick I'll just leave you on ignore.

Duh.

By paranoid I meant your seeming belief that we are out to get you, not any serious belief that anyone(especially not tigger) is going to turn up and shoot you, if I had to put money on anyone here shooting anyone it would be Seth, zilla, wumbo, or gallstones. And only with good reason.

Not sure I agree on Seth. 'zilla and I are good. gallstones and I are good. wumbo is good with everybody; wumbology is universal.

This place really isn't the den of inequality you seem to think it is,

Whoa, drama. Be careful assigning that stuff to me, particularly moral judgments which you have misinterpreted from my application of your own apparent standards to yourselves. I don't accept your moral standards as applying to me; I merely point out that if I apply them to you you are failing spectacularly. Not my problem, man. I am not involved other than to point out your inconsistency. Don't shoot the messenger.

most of us are nice people once you get to know us, even the Canadians, and the Welsh, hell, even the scots are tolerable when they're sober.

We're good. Just be aware that I'm watching and my alarms are set on fairly light trips. Be cool and avoid making drama for a while.

All I'm asking you to do is take a step back, stop jumping at everything as if it were a personal affront, and accept that this place is a lot less serious than most other places, it's essentially an off topic area with serious bits tacked on, not the other way around. We are mostly here to relax and have fun.

OK, then stop issuing threatening moderator comments, and especially stop doing so in situations that are ambiguous. Stop assuming I'm stupid, or that I'm trying to figure out how to break the rules without breaking the rules, some devious way.

In plain words, stop fucking with me if you don't want a problem; I'm not going to make a problem if I can figure out how not to, so assume that and inform me if there's a problem and why and how and I'll try to fix it. But I'm not going to bow down to authority, my general response to people who try authority on me is a raised middle finger, and on both hands if they don't get it the first time.

Look at the total posts for each area of the forum, the pub is bigger than the rest combined, so grab a beer and have a laugh, it is addictive, and beware of the great bacon/cheese divide, that is our most contentious debate since day one.

Cheez.

And if you do want to put detecting lies to a serious test, sign up for a mafia game, spotting lying scum is the whole object of the game.

Not my deal, but thanks for the invite.

Fire?!! Embers?? Fanning?

I'm fucking freezing right now...somebody get moving!! Blazes hellfire!

If you're just gonna be a dick I'll just leave you on ignore.

Duh.

Schneibster...why the name calling and the duh's? Is it necessary? Admittedly I'm a lazy bitch woman and I would prefer to not have to sift through these types of posts of yours that include some of your interesting, and in some cases brilliant ones.

[Jason]

Duh.

Whatever. I spoke my mind and did so without being insulting. Who's the dick?

[Robert_S]

Gentlemen, please keep them in your pants, until you get to your hotel room... or perhaps the NSFW forum.

No worries, the only point of contention I'm going to raise from this post is your choice of cheez over bacon. Is it not written "blessed are the baconites, for they shall inherit the earth*"



*and cholesterol.

[Seth]

I have stated multiple times that I want to be left the fuck alone about all this shit. I state it again: just stop all the chickenshit and leave me the fuck alone. For the tenth or fifteenth time. How many times do I have to say it?

We were leaving you alone. In fact, I'd completely forgotten that you ever existed, right up until you dropped back in and started in with the bombast and hyperbole. Then your pomposity and puffery became a legitimate target for ridicule...again.

If you want to be left alone, then just exercise some index finger control and permanently press the "logout" button and never show your face around here again. You will be quickly forgotten...again, and you'll get your wish.

But as long as you insist on playing the pompous ass, I suspect you're going to be treated as such.

And, if you want to hang around, then act like an adult and you'll be treated like one.

[Ronja]

I see that Seth has spotted a threat: if Schneibster starts getting along and is generally accepted (which now seems quite likely ), Seth's debating will require more energy and commitment, compared to without Schneib.

Tough shit - attempting to run someone off the forum by e.g. excessively goading them is covered by the rules, under "harassment".

Just pointing that out. Now carry on curmudgeoning (though nicely, please).

Fucking #$%^@#$%#!$@%.

Is that considered nice?

I'm practicing my curmudgeoning...now that I'm officially a member of AARP I figure I better get some practice.

Er, I was making a very friendly suggestion about how he could achieve his desired goal of being "left alone."

I was also pointing out that he's acting like a pompous ass, not that he is one. That's not "goading," it's stating fact, as I have been told oh so many times when I was being goaded...er told "facts" by a good many other members here. I manage to suck it up, so should he. So should you.

And, your "threat assessment" is entirely fucked because I'd welcome more high-level rational debate. But that's not occurring here (although I'm seeing signs of it in other threads), what's occurring here is pompous bombast by Da Schneib, and I have no compunctions about pointing that out.
