Oh...My...God...

Sean, BB, please just give it up. dubman has been beaten about the head and shoulders quite enough already, and since there are no real consequences to his behavior on this board (other than getting banned - and let's face it, if you're repeating "Down the road, not across the street" because you got permabanned from a website, you need to be slapped) getting all wound up about it is only going to make you more aggrivated at the end of the day, because he'll just keep acting the way he wants. You've said what you need to say. Go grab a bite to eat, take in a nice movie (I hear there's quite the doozy about a man who dresses up as a flying rat), do a striptease for your spouse: whatever! Enjoy your lives, because while you say you have more important things to do than post here, you're being RLY RLY SRYUS right now.

It's sad that cacophony (who was getting pretty goddamned interesting) had to take a break. I hope she's taking a break. I hope she comes back and tweaks a few more noses before she's done. Frankly, I'm far more interested in dealing with people who are rigidly steadfast in what they think, even if they're in disagreement with me, because, if nothing else, it makes me think long and hard about what I believe. Huh-huh..."long and hard." Sorry, I've been in the desert too long. If you're still lurking a little bit, cacophony, I still love you, even though I think you were acting a little batshit insane for a while there. I'm not going to mince words or dance around for you, because I don't think you appreciate it. Some of us, particularly myself and Sean, have taken some real abuse on this board, and have subsequently had to get leagues better at debate, and the fine art of taking shit. We don't stop...ever. Not until you crush us in a hydraulic press (50 points to whomever figures that out) made of pure reason. Calling us "poopie heads" or whatever only makes us bite harder.

dubman, you may think that this board is just some static that you have agreed to preside over, but I offer this: Since I came here, back in '99, I've changed my stance on gun control and the death penalty. Granted, that may have happened with time, but I definitely credit the people who helped me get there a little quicker; ergo, Sean, Janie (or BeautifulBurnout if you prefer), HAL9000, sven, Ally, human151, myrrh...if I weren't so tired, I'm sure the list could go on and on. Point is: this might seem pretty trivial and lol to you, but it's been an experience for some of us, and you should probably think about respecting that, just a little bit. I think you've taken more than your fair share of shit in the last few days, but you have to admit you've invited some of it with your "I don't care what you wrote, and I think it's ROFL funny, but I'm going to post here again and poke you some more!" attitude.

On a lighter note, I only have a little over 50 days left in this shit-box. Keep the beer cold.
