Ronald:

Now who is dwelling in the past?



I responded to a post about trolls of the past on this board, where else ought my response be focused?

quote:
Ronald:

I know. What-what? Why not ask yourself what an acknowledgment is? Or just look it up yourself. I learned from the king himself. As a matter of fact I looked up some of his 'deconstruction' and no one complained on that side of the BO divide. Hell if I know about the last point but seemed to be common practice 2 years ago.


quote:
Ronald:

I guess that is an acknowledgment


The question was in reference "what" you mean by "that."

This is what makes your words so "interesting."

Yeah, I know. Pityful. It's most dishonourable to discuss private members off-board. It's the sort of thing only cowards do.

I wasn't addressing meljomur, was I, Ronald, or do they happen to feel addressed for a reason?

Help! Think of something!
Carry on...

I clarify all I feel is relevant about my thinking, I'm in no position to clarify others'. Surely you can respect that. In fact, I clarify, and clarify, and clarify. I get complaints about the extent of it. What I can't do is give you more than a map.

A map in English would help.
or prehaps provide a cheat sheet with every post.

What happened to the rest of what I said, didn't that mean anything?

After a comment like that.. I was moving on.

I never noticed you doing any of that, but more importantly, I never asked for it. Ronald is not a problem for me.

I didn't do it for your approval and I think we both know we are not talking about Ron. I did it because he was screwing around with my threads and I found him annoying.

Let me see: boring, banal to start with and now "interesting." Please don't stop.

As far as the trolling, you make my point exactly. Thanks...

I clarified when it struck me later, somehow, that RT was not RR.

Oh my God, I never though I'd out-silly myself, but that last post of mine did the trick. Sorry to share this with you, but I laughed for about 10 minutes, until tears rolled down my face.

Yeah. Well, at $2 a post, some people would be satisfied with the progress of the discussion.

I'm not a moderator, just another poster like you. Group moderating was lost to this board some time ago.

Since when?

What I see is that nobody care to make the effort anymore, except me anyway. But even I have my problems, where I could come down hard on a con screwing with my threads, I however can not bring myself to report this ass monkey trio dancing about the thread. Probably because it seems a bit to obvious and petty from my POV, therefore my reporting it would have slightly less value. I am left to wonder who thinks this little show of his is good for the board. At best this thread is heading to the trash bin as we speak anyway.

Is Miles trying to make some subtle cryptic metaphoric message regarding troll on the board. Who the **** knows.

Hey Loganthor,

You got any news you wanna discuss? What are you doing down here in the basement anyhow?

I have confession of at least one paid correspondent telling me he/she/it is making 4 bucks a post. At a post count of over 6000, you do the math.

Not here, I suspect this thread has a timebomb attached to it.

I most likely will be opening a thread on Huckabee. I know nothing of the man and it seems he might be a player. News from Iraq is good but not getting better, Genocide seems to be an interesting topic.

No offense, but thinking in terms of "both sides" isn't exactly "being fair". Rather, it's being dismissive and superficial.

Are you referring to you and yours, Loganthor, or are you perhaps revealing a touch of homophobia by calling other people "ass monkeys" (in which case you cannot be considering too many people, which boils down to the fact that you're doing an ad-hom, homophobia or not)?

It's either the one or the other.
Can't be no other way.
Carry on...

Superficial stinkyfish automatically signs you up, Melissa . In fact, you made the shortlist for stand-in actress of the month. You may pre-emptively pick up your award at the nearest John Deere guy's (no, the green ones, silly), provided that you keep your Id safely barned. Take the old super-ego on a hayride then. Giddee-up!

In many discussions some people take one side and some take an opposing view. It's a fact of life.

No, it's a fact of artificial or inherently shallow oppositional debate at most. A two-party system isn't a "fact of life" either, it's a concocted fact of political status quo.

meljomur, I don't know why you are interfering with question marks. Perhaps it was my hugely oblique reference to something Rowan Atkinson once said. Now I don't think I know you, but people might just think you and Ronald are somehow simultaneously identically involved. We don't want that to happen, do we?

Carry on...

Too bad we don't have a way back machine on this forum.

Monk that is my trademarked remark. Carry on...

You know what a pleonasm is? As in "simultaneously identically involved", if there is identical involvement wouldn't that necessitate being simultaneous?

Strange, Sunrise use to say that also. I was like why? Who cares? And what difference did it make to him?
