Oh, I don't know. I think you and Jerry Logan are both equally disdainful of everyone else here, in your own ways. I don't think you are capable of saying a kind word to anyone here on this forum. Which is kind of sad, seeing as how just about everyone here thought you were pretty OK at one time. I know I did. But you've said several times that you didn't really care whether or not anyone liked you here, and then you backed that up with what you wrote: witness the "should Jerry Logan be banned" poll, where the majority of voters wanted you both gone. You reap what you sow; it didn't just happen out of nowhere.



I would accept your statements as at least being representative of your honest attitude, except for the repetition of Nareed's nonsensical and stupid remark about my "not being able to say a kind word, blah blah". Arguments from worthless premises are themselves worthless.

I don't recall saying "several times" that I didn't care whether anyone liked me here, but I may have once or twice--as I recall, it was after receiving a torrent of flaming in respnse to my suggestion that perhaps a basic social safety net for all Americans might be desirable. However, even if I did say that "several times", I'd like to amend that to include only you, Nareed, EvenBob, and Jerry (four birds of the same feather, unfortunately).

And since you not only thought that wasn't a shitty thing to say, but indeed, repeated it, you have absolutely no call---NONE---to say anything about MY tone or attitude. I LOOOOOOOVE hypocritical double standards.

Don't dish it out if you can't take it. That's all I have to say about that.

I think we've all noticed that.

Anyways, this is playoffs and sports betting. Can't we talk about the real games instead of the meta-gamesyou guys like to play?

If you cared so much about that, they why didn't you resist the urge to get in your little dig before asking the question?

I prefaced it with "I don't think"; it is my own opinion. I chose those words. I honestly think you have no empathy for anyone here, and do not think of us as worth your consideration. It is not an argument, it is a statement of what I believe, and your response is exactly what I would have expected. Take it or leave it, I don't care.

Wow. You insult someone, then not only defend, but actually repeat that insult, and they react exactly how you would have expected? What superhuman prescience on your part!!!

Why should I have any "empathy" or "consideration" for you, if you do stuff like that?

I appreciate your volunteering, but I don't think you've come all that close to JerryLogan.

Yet.
