What do you call someone

Wow....Cheri's talking to me again........WooHoo!!!

Guess I'll answer to appease her.......

....did you say that when another member was posting that many articles on the subject of Obama every 2 or 3 days, for weeks on end?

Well....No....question wasn't asked then. If it was, same answer would've been brought forth then too.

When Gore tried to steal the election from Bush? To quote one of our more intelligent members: <snort!>

Guess you didn't pay attention to the Election Coverage back in those days, did ya?

Need a tissue..............

Your surprise at what Lawrence is allowing stems from your lack of knowledge as to what Lawrence does and doesn't do here.

Lawrence runs a fine board here. It's just that, and this is my opinion only, of which I've had to explain to many here for quite a while that I am allowed to express my opinions, is that there's a lot of wasted bandwidth being used by 2 members down here that are using the soapbox to spread their propoganda and beliefs, that's all.

And if this were your board and you deleted 20-30 threads a day, those with an IQ greater than their shoe size would be elsewhere.

Nah, not really. One having a high IQ does not make one an intelligent conversation holder, and vice versa. The vice versa is rampant here. Participants with a low IQ are flooding a certain forum with their beliefs and opinions and trying to show intelligence within what they are bringing forth in their discussions. Not really working, IMO.

O - is that why you're here, because 'your' boards are ghost towns?

????

Guess another case of not reading what I had said. I haven't owned any boards in over 10 years now. Overbearing Liberal Buffoons who had nothing better to do than to post their propoganda all day long make it hell for any board owner today. Case in point, that's why we are having this discussion now.

Nice talking to ya again Cheri!!! Let's do it again, say in another 7-8-9 months. ;)

Oh Yeah, I'm sticking to my TROLL answer. Others will probably agree with me on my assessment also.

I think I resemble that remark. :p
When I made my complaint(s) I was complaining about the large number of cut and paste with no regard to the accuracy of the posted material, and no real comment other than "hows change working for ya". The Dennis also said earlier today that he has had days where he posted at least thirty threads. So the combination of plastering the board with volume he also never checked any of the material to see if it was even halve way correct, going so far as to say he didn't even care.

In my mind that is different then what RLENT is doing.

I wasn't directing the post at anyone in particular....but all of us in general.....just an observation with myself included in the mix.

I am not talking to you, I'm disputing your comments. Big difference.

Fail. Amused is more like it.



Well....No....question wasn't asked then. If it was, same answer would've been brought forth then too.
You're right: the question wasn't asked then, because those who could have aren't the passive aggressive type.




Guess you didn't pay attention to the Election Coverage back in those days, did ya?
That was actually the first election to which I paid a lot of attention, and the theft wasn't just attempted, it was successful. We knew it would be, because the SOS of Florida [on which the outcome hung, and who was required to decide] didn't happen to be under the thumb of Gore's brother, but Bush's. Fait accompli.

Need a tissue..............What I need, I've got: I'm pretty self sufficient, thank you.

I agree. However, LDB and ChefDennis have a right to voice their opinions too. :p

I know: the 'shorts' are past getting on my last nerve, too.

Where did you say you haven't owned any for 10 years? I guess I missed that.
"Liberal buffoons"? There went the last teensy fragment of your credibility, dude. Because intelligence doesn't label people, ignorance does that.

I'll have to check my calendar, I may be already booked for an intelligent conversation then.

Based on Pilgrim's clip, the [many] trolls here aren't on the Soapbox, even.
And I'm sure many would agree with your assessment - many believe they've been abducted by aliens, too, and Elvis is working at a Pack n Sack in Texas. The world is full of nuts, right?:D

Fortunately we don't have any posters putting up one liners back & forth just to up the post count about their Carrier.:p:D

In the Soapbox, we don't give a plugged nickle for our post counts or carriers, it's about the issues.
The one liners are just lagniappe. :D

For those who are not up to the ability of realizing Assange = Wikileaks, Gates = Microsoft, Jobs = Apple, Judas = traitor, Xerox = copier, Kleenex = tissue, etc. etc. etc. I'll include the addendum What do you call someone who has started over 30 Wikileaks threads in little more than a week?

I would call them deeply interested and passionate about a subject that is making headlines all over the world.

What would you call someone who starts an entire thread about one particular individual, designed as nothing more than a backdoor personal attack to solicit negative comments about the individual?

An online interventionist since any other type of intervention is impossible.

If you need help in learning how to send a fellow EO member an e-mail or a PM, just let me know and I'll be happy to walk you though the procedure. :D

Elementary my dear terrapin - while it's fairly easily confused (due to the homonymic nature of the English language, where different words sound alike, but actually aren't the same) with that type of tight, elastic, form-fitting piece of clothing worn by little girls when attending dance class, or doing exercises, the difference is markedly clear, and there is really no mistaking one for the other:

And you don't see that the original question was even worse? Not only did it 'ridicule another member', it invited others to join in on the fun!
That would be bad enough from anyone, but coming from a moderator, it was unacceptable.

As is your outrage now, while ignoring the egregious insult posted by one of your fellow mods.

Had your comments been directed to the OP, it wouldn't have got to the point it did.
PS You really need to read the whole thread before jumping to conclusions, you know - some comments are gratuitous, and some are provoked. This was assuredly the latter.
