Discussion II about the Suspension List
Quote: OnceDearhttps://www.dictionary.com/browse/itinerant
Maybe disrespectful, but not pejorative.
I reckon you fell into his trap by paying homage to the thread title. Maybe we should have had Mdawg's adventures thread pay homage to a certain 'corner,' but too late now. $:o)
I will not appreciate seeing any more threads created to obviously relate to any one member. We have Mdawg's adventures and his investments. That's more than enough attention, regardless of positive or negative.
I'd like to talk about my investments. Should I start my own thread or piggyback on to the already existing thread or threads?
I'll go with the first green response.
Well, AIUI, Wizard has said that he doesn't object to members having 'their own corner'Quote: billryanI'd like to talk about my investments. Should I start my own thread or piggyback on to the already existing thread or threads?
I'll go with the first green response.
However, He's also expressed a dislike for parody threads which can be perceived as trolling. Plus, IMHO, some of the threads we already have are detracting from the remit of the forum. Do you really want to pollute this place further than it already has been?
I'd suggest looking for threads that are already on topic, which might be revived.
I'm neither approving, nor disapproving your proposed thread.
Of course, DT would welcome your thread, but I suspect that would not satisfy your urge.

This is the reason I started this thread
Been thinking about it for awhile
Got one over at DT but not as detailed
I saw the other "adventure" thread
Going gambling over and over and over same game
Not really an adventure. If anything, boring
Meanwhile for the last year on FB
I get message after message about loving my adventures from close friends
I know a lot of people on this forum. I've personally met a lot and have never attended a spring fling.
I played golf with Soopoo, hung out in Vegas with different members.
Since I am having a REAL adventure and my FB friends been cheering me on for a year
Figured I would share my REAL adventures here.
I also saw that Mdawg posted about the Beverly hills robbery but just posted what he read on the internet
It's not an adventure if you were not there and just posting stories he read
I was there
I had a REAL adventure
I thought members here would appreciate real adventures, not a regurgitated internet story
Of course I will prove my adventures for free but I am sure there is no doubt my adventures are REAL.
And
I think they are interesting reading instead of I won at bac over and over

Billy.... if you are being serious... my WoV stock portfolio thread is open for all such discussions. Feel free to tag along. I’ll bump it so it will be easy to find. Actually, your investments in memorabilia are probably more interesting than my stock picks...

BTW, this suspension serves as a clear warning that I'd be foolish to continue to post on this forum as I most recently had been doing: lesson learned.
Those who wish to follow down that rabbit hole with me will have to look elsewhere (I betcha know where).
Welcome back Thank Keenone for reminding ME to release you $:o)Quote: MrVFeee at last, free at last, thank Wiz almighty I am free at last.

Your amusing posts will be missed here. See ya elsewhere.
OD
I'll continue to wallow in the filth and mire, but not here.
From now on when I post here I'll be good, I swear I will.
At least I'll try.
Quote: MrVThanks for the kind words and thanks for sundering the chains that bound me, but you misunderstand: I am not leaving the board, I'm just cleaning up my act a bit.

That's good. I didn't want you to leave either even though you don't seem to like me on the other forum.
I manage my thoughts here while going buck wild elsewhere
I can be combative and insulting online (not sure why: it's a Jekyl / Hyde sort of thing) but in real life I'm quite the mellow fellow.
The Wiz runs a tight ship.
Quote: MrVDarkoz,

What an understatement. I remember some
of your posts aimed at me on GG. Awful
and demeaning. I'll be amazed if you're
here for long.
Different time, different place.
Quote: MrVDarkoz, I've nothing against you, nor any other AP.

1. Mellow is an understatement.
2. I have the Confrontation from Jekyll & Hyde the musical stuck in my head now.

What's an understatement for mellow? Comatose?
Or did you mean overstatement?
Quote: rdw4potusI'm not sure about the directionality. Mr V is an incredibly relaxed guy.
How would you know that.

Quote: EvenBobHow would you know that.
rdw4potus and I met at a WoV Spring Fling, or maybe twice, as I attended two of them.
I checked out the spring fling 2021 thread and it looks like it won't be happening this year.
Bummer: I was hoping to attend and give any of my detractors a chance to either talk smack to me face to face or come to realize we are not always in real life what we type on a keyboard, and that at the end of the day "It don't mean nothin.'"

I am even more of who I am in real life then I am behind the keyboard. My wife hates that I love face-to-face confrontation because she hates it. I'm the last person anybody wants to start an argument with in person. If I ever went to one of those get-togethers people would tell me, Bob, you're even more of a jerk in person then you are online. I would be so proud..

So let me know which one you plan on going to.
I will skip it

I wouldn't go if all my expenses were paid. Why would I.

Why would anyone want to be a jerk? I am always confrontational, but rarely a jerk. Of course, when you are always right like I am it is easy to be nice and condescending at the same time.
Quote: DRichWhy would anyone want to be a jerk?
Because I am so right and everybody else is so wrong being a jerk just comes naturally.
Quote: EvenBobI wouldn't go if all my expenses were paid. Why would I.
I plan on going to the next Spring Fling, whenever it is. Notionally, I think I would really enjoy meeting you. You are intelligent and interesting.
Quote: EvenBobI wouldn't go if all my expenses were paid. Why would I.
I will pay for your toe tag.
Quote: EvenBobBecause I am so right and everybody else is so wrong being a jerk just comes naturally.
Being right doesn't make anyone a jerk. I just tell people that I am right and they are wrong, and I leave it at that. Why would I argue with someone that is wrong. If they aren't smart enough to realize that I am always right, they aren't worth my time.
If I am ever wrong, I might change my tune.

This is rich :)

Pay for your own, you'll need it before I will
Quote: ExpectedvalueWould bob go if someone from the forum would offer 10k plus expenses?
I did indeed say I would like to meet EvenBob at a Spring Fling. But no way would I pay him money for that opportunity, much less $10 to 15K.
I can't imagine paying anyone $10 to 15K to be my escort at a Spring Fling, no matter what skills and attributes they had,
Such a tease.
He'd say you gotta figure it out on your own, just like he did.
OK you kids, get off of his lawn ...

Not even if you never lost at roulette again??

You are a master at faking sincerity.
Quote: ExpectedvalueWould bob go if someone from the forum would offer 10k plus expenses?
Not a chance. Why would I..
I doubt you're so wealthy that ten grand means nothing: it's a lot of dough, plus expenses.
Ka-ching!
I think the real question is: What are you atraid might happen to you if you went?
Are you embarrassed by your physical appearance?
Are you a social zero, unable to deal with people?
I don't think so.
Ten grand plus expenses ...
For one, it's easy to decline an offer or say you wouldn't something if you don't think it's legit or possible.Quote: MrVWhy wouldn't you go?
I can claim I would not accept 10 million dollars to sleep with a supermodel knowing that would probably never be offered.
Quote: MrVWhy wouldn't you go?
I'll go. Do you think I'll get an invite?
Would anybody show up knowing that I've accepted the invitation?
Quote: coachbellyI'll go. Do you think I'll get an invite?

Quoting a famous Monty Python line:
"Run away, run away!"
I’d be happy to meet you at spring fling. Though I say that knowing it’s likely I’ll never go.Quote: coachbellyI'll go. Do you think I'll get an invite?

Send me another PM, we have lots to talk about.
Quote: MrVI went a couple times
I read that you were almost comatose at those events.
How did you explain it...you're a phony in real life,
or was it that you're a phony on the forums?
I can't keep track of all your deceit.
Smoke, Papa.

Quoted for personal insult in case he retracts it.

How nice that you found the ball for him.
Can I still receive PMs?...I'm expecting UnJon to contact me soon.

Put on your thinking cap, you'll figure it out.

He's simply trying to be clever, don't you see?
It's a variation on the old "Have you stopped beating your wife?" trap: there is no viable "yes" or "no" answer.
It's rhetorical quicksand.
Whatever, I don't feel insulted by his comment at all, considering the source.
But I'm not a mod, so my opinion on the matter probably isn't worth much, given the standard of judgment should be objective and not subjective.

Wouldn't the correct answer be "I never beat my wife" (assuming you don't and are being truthful)
Quote: MrVIt's rhetorical quicksand.
You wrote about your in person vs forum personality.
There's no trick question or trap, you wrote what you wrote,
that can't change.
I'll find it and quote it if you refuse to cop to it.
