That sums up my impression of you perfectly. I wouldn't miss you if you vanished off the face of the Earth. I already have a prick, I don't need another one.
A true classic Ayaan.
Though how you construe that as a personal attack is bizarre. Gawd simply quoted Toons insult and suggested it made a personal impression. If you find the specific comment offensive, then you should equally apply it to toon - who said it in the first place, IMO.
The atmosphere at Rationalia has turned distinctly more chilly in the past week or two. It seems that it takes only about four forum members (and surely I don't need to name them) to drag the ambience down to their own level by consistently playing the man rather than the ball, unrelenting sarcasm and unpausing, excessively aggressive style of posting. Unfortunately many of us - some moderators and administrators included - become like them just like the "free world" adopts terrorist tactics in order to fight terrorism.

So stop trying to justify it ..oh no you weren't were you? WTF make up your mind !
No don't bother I'm bored with you, just go away and wave your flag at someone else. Your opinions and views shame your country.

I'm sensing a distinct pattern here.

There's a lot of guilt to spread around in that respect. Makes it an uholy pain in the ass to be on staff.

Yes, indeed. I caught myself going down that path/falling into that trap not so long ago. I had to bitch-slap myself out of it.

Are you all chatbots? You seem to randomly generate accusations from a predictable set of neoprog grievances.

"I've never even mentioned McCarthy."
So you came up with the calumny process independently. I'm impressed.

Gawd, you were reminded just shortly ago to play nice. Consider this a warning. Further escalation will result in more stringent actions.

That would be incredibly stupid of you. Isn't internet stalking a federal offense now?

Toontown has been given a 1-week vacation to reflect upon his behavior.

Re: Neoprog Posner sucks up to Chicoms
Toontown, when you get back:
1. Change your username to something gloomy. Toontown is too much of a happy name for you.
2. Tell us your religious beliefs.
Surely you can't be an atheist.
