Thanks, Henry, but I'm actually not an anti-Semite.

Just for the record, some of my best friends and extended family are Jews.

And, my abundant experience with them was what made me feel justified in criticizing and venting about them.



Actually, it's your lack of beliefs that make you feel justified in criticizing them and venting about them.

Some of your comments were anti-semitic, lol. Just because you mean them doesn't make them not so.

I'm sure Hitler knew a few Jews, that doesn't mean his comments and actions weren't anti-semitic.

The group is what it is - it's not better or worse if Mock and Cygnus leave...it just is. It would plug along as it did without them. Mock has barely posted in the past two months, and Cygnus has been saying the same things over and over for the past 4 weeks...it's more of an anticipated anti-climax, reading his posts, more than anything.

I do miss Henry, but I have a feeling when he does come back he'll attempt to make the board "more even"...which means his views may not necessarily be those he'll portray on the board. But someone has to appease his fans, right? Before they leave in a fury of youtube links.

I don't miss Plague, but I do think it's a shame he had to go as far as he did.

Yeah? Did he love them, help them out whenever he could and maintain a generally beneficent disposition toward them?

Dumb-ass.

Yes, that's it.

Your ability to boil down a complex issue into a terse, single-statement conclusion that doesn't even follow from the reasoning immediately preceding it is...

Unique.

You want more rules from The Great All-Knowing Cygnus?


New Rule: No more conclusions from Wes.

I'm sorry, dear, but you simply cannot be allowed to carry on so recklessly.

Henceforth, you may only ask questions.

And, I may not answer them.

I'm done asking you questions - you can't answer them. You can barely fucking ask them, lol.

You claim your anti-semitic comments are ok because you know a few Jews. You further claim this is ok because you're nice to their faces?

All the while going behind their backs on an internet forum to complain that they follow their beliefs to closely, and it affects your personal comfort zone?

Christ, Cyg. You whine too much about what other people do.

Don't worry, it's not a question. It's a fact.

I’ve argued.........  I’d rather Plague hadn’t gone, that’s for sure, and I have a similar view when it comes to others who have left, like Cygnus when he left previously, apparently badgered into submission....
Most importantly I get the impression that some people genuinely think that the group would be better without Mock and Cygnus.  It would be much worse.  If you take the forum and deduct a cyborg and an anti-semite you have less,

good day sir.

long time reader, first time poster.

after reading through many a thread I've come to noticed that this room has some great potential with some good debaters tackling interesting topics of a great variety, only to be shut down by infantile hackling from other members.
there is a trend happening here and if you allow it to continue, Henry (i gather you are the owner/manager of this room), you'll basically hand the room over to a couple of inexperienced and in one instance 'dumb' persons, who want to use your room to discuss what they'll wear next Saturday night when going out, or who is going to see the next movie with who, and their mean spirited hangers-on.

I don't know the last evicted member, however, I've read his comments and responses in this room and now he's gone, the conversations in this room have gone far below the standards that I've seen here. and if this process continues, I can see others, good debaters, leaving of their own accord. none of it helping this room.

in some of the threads i can see that you are trying to stir up controversy and you appear to enjoy creating devision between people, with no feeling of responsibility on your behalf. if this observation has some credibility, you should not be to upset if his room becomes like so many others...

may you fare with peace in your heart

Yeah. Ok.

Please, why the infantile ploy? You're obviously not a first-time poster (except under that name), so who are you trying to convince?

Hiding your criticism under feigned concern is pretty transparent. Anyone with actual concern over the content of this board would post interesting and lively topics...rather than posting one post, under a false name, critiquing the board manager's allowance when it comes to movie posts.

It's also apparent you are attempting to disguise your posting style, with inconsistent upper and lower case letters when referencing yourself. You've mixed your i's and I's...it's also apparent in your inconsistent writing level:

You can make that clear and concise, but you can't spell division properly? Sure.

Why the disguise? Think your criticisms will be taken more seriously if people don't know who you are?

hmm.

That actually looks like a complaint.

A complaint about what another person did.

Once.

More than a year ago.

And, has never re-visited the topic since.

Until you brought it up all on your own.

To complain about what other people do.

Or, in this case, have done.

More than a year ago.

Once.

One might even call it...

P.S. -- I also was the only person at this forum, unless I am mistaken, who supported the policy of the Austrian govt. to prosecute Holocaust Deniers.

But, I don't see you whining about that.

Shall I, now, accuse you of being Anti-Semitic for your opposition to this policy by the Austrian govt to curb Anti-Semitism?

You opposed Anti-Anti-Semitic efforts, so, that must make you Anti-Semitic, yes?

Two negatives make a positive, yes?

Anti-Anti-Anti-Semitic = Anti-Semitic.

But, that would be stupid.

I know better than that.

...and, naturally, your characterization of me being nice to the faces of my friends while criticizing them behind their backs is a complete fabrication on your part.

It happens to be false as well.

But, that's nothing for you to be concerned with.

Just carry on.

Make up whatever you like.

Whine away.

About things that other people said more than a year ago.

I do apologize, Cyg - was I supposed to start a different kind of thread? Perhaps I should have started a thread you could have properly contributed to?

Hmmm, what are my options. Well, going on your past thread contributions, I suppose I could have started one on why women should just feel flattered when a coworker hits on them, or why Jews have it so much better than us.

Is that more your speed? It seems to be.

Why aren't you on Plague's board, giving him your unwavering support? God knows he fucking needs it, his board is dying on it's ass.

You sure know how to girl up a thread on handbags and shoes, Cyg.

Am I happy Plague left? He was becoming quite tiresome towards the end, must admit, but it's a shame over the circumstances. He could have been a man and simply asked management to moderate the board, but he refused. His reaction is entirely his fault, as are the subsequent consequences.

You sincerely feel Plague was being kicked around and merely retaliating - that's fine. But you're just as stupid as Skull was when he ran in here defending Marsha.

Come to think of it, you attacked me over Marsha as well, lol. Following me around for a few posts, complaining about my spelling...having me confused with someone else, but still not an apology.

I don't think this has anything to do with Plague whatsoever, but whatever problem you seem to have with me.

What is your issue, Cyg? What's the big problem?

We're not even out of the thread yet, and already you've begun your revisionism.

I mean...at least wait two weeks for the memory to fade? Even I can still remember that you brought it up. And, regardless, you're the one whining about it.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong? I mean, how many times in this, single thread have you said things that have turned out to be unambiguously false? Honestly, I've lost count...

Let's see, you took it upon yourself to interpret my joculation to have been an indictment of you, personally, despite no direct reference nor address to you therein....then, you asked me to describe what I don't like about you...and, when I obliged your request, you freaked out about it and accused me of I don't even know what with respect to Marsha...then, you attempted to disparage me for having briefly conversed with your husband -- which I had, of course, and he hadn't refuted any of my criticism of you -- then, you accused me of having fabricated the conversation -- another falsehood, obviously, added to all of the other ridiculously bad reasoning that you employed in that exchange....which brings us to now, where you've brought up a discussion that took place more than a year ago, made up some stuff about my personal life -- which, of course, you know nothing about, just to mischaracterize my motives for a discussion that I had over a year ago and whine about the whole thing....and, now, when faced with the undeniable reality that you've been whining about something that I said more than a year ago whilst trying to chide me for whining, you try to tell me that Henry is to blame.

It's incredible that you either don't feel any compunction about this practice of yours, or that you continue it in spite of feeling compunction.

You're like the mind that time forgot.

Time advances, but not the mind of Wes.

It remains static.

In a loop.

Destined to forever repeat the same mistakes and never learn from them.

Like Sisyphus, only you don't seem to be bothered by it.

Or, you don't understand that it's the same boulder each time.

Look, I didn't even set out to criticize you, but it seems that you're practically begging me to. I mean, what else can I reasonably expected to do with what you put up?

It was never my intention to lambaste you. I'm going to try to stop now, but you've gotta meet me half way. If you keep talking shit....I can try to ignore it, but my sensibilities tend to move all on their own.

No, no, no, no. You have to put it in a way that Cygnus will understand.

For example, we'll eschew paragraphs in an attempt to make the post look longer and imply we've put more thought into it than we clearly have.

It should be as long-winded as possible, because that will increase the likelihood of everyone skipping over the rather tenuous arguments you've strung together. But certain keywords should be emphasised like half-baked or moronic, just so that everyone gets the gist of it, even though the most cursory read will show up the gaping holes in the logic. It's known as a Kuro-ism.

Sling a picture in. It should be suitably lowbrow, we'll get around later as to how to attempt a finish in which we disguise that intention, but something overly clever will distract from the inanity that's proceeded it.

I've attempted likewise, but all I could find that made me think of Cygnus is this clip of a chimp pissing in it's own mouth. Apologies for it not being a static picture, those are generally too dull.


[dohtml]<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9IZE-4ZjPVI"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9IZE-4ZjPVI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>[/dohtml]

Now we'll trail off for ten lines or so. This is the ideal time to throw some serious hyperbole out there, and if possible crowbar in some allusions to classical mythology. This is where we attempt to end looking educated, no matter how much you've really had to hammer this square peg into a round hole to fit the rambling nonsense you've assembled previously.

We'll pick Cassandra as an example.

Cygnus sees himself as the lone voice in the wilderness yelling the truth.

But is cursed in that no-one believes him.

As everything crumbles around him, he can forsee his own downward spiral leading to a good old fashioned raping at the hands of those he percieves as his enemies, and eventual murder as the concubine of better men.

And it's driving him insane.

Although Cygnus would normally spread the final trickle over a number of follow-up posts, we'll end

quickly.

But remember

to make it

look

like some

effort or

thought

has

been

applied.

End of lesson.

I would suggest returning to your former self-imposed exile, Euphemia. Your position is entirely untenable, ludicrously so. Even with this poignant example of humbling self-mockery: "this is where we attempt to end looking educated" (This was your point, right? Self-effacement?)

Impugning Cygnus' reasoning, of all things, while you're defending the vertiginous -- and utterly pointless, meandering of your morally defunct and spiteful wife.

The heavy-weights in this community have all withdrawn their support, Euphemia. What's left is a gaggle of housewives, the Ardra posse and our naive Monkey. Certainly not much of an audience, now that the boards have been cordoned off.

While I applaud your efforts to defend your wife's 'virtue'-- truly an Herculean task, heaping scorn and ridicule on her many legitimate critics, defying common sense; an evervating custom which you'll assuredly be forced to refine in the coming years -- the object of your ministrations is best helped with a firm and simple talking-to.

Apply some of your 'psycho-analytical perspicacity' *snicker* on your wife's compulsive trolling. Perhaps then she'll be able to make the big leap to a larger forum, one of the bigger ponds on the internet. There are simple pleasures to be had in a 'battle of wits', rather than endlessly pursuing this P&A perversion 'battle of worth'.

Remember, there are 'trans-virtual' aspects of her character, as seen on this board, which will gradually evolve and become manifest in your lovely life. She needn't become a vicious crone. Turn to the Christian God, bring her into the fold. Re-establish your self-worth, embrace your masculinity. Your humanity.

Surely hope is something to treasure, and I beseech Grumpy to lend his assistance. Confer with this brave Christian soldier, together you can redeem this vile and loathsome evil that befouls your conjugal felicity.

I'd highly recommend the same, Mjork. Your absence, trolling notwithstanding, has been pretty refreshing, and for the most part barely noticable.

You? Plague? Skull? Marsha? Mori? Quite the gaggle you've lumped yourself in with. I'm sorry Mock, but your little cloud of blissful ignorance aside, nobody considers you a heavy-weight of any kind. Bulk posting youtube links and obsessive pictures of Amy Winehouse may count as quantity, but quality? You add little aside from snide commentary, no doubt as part of the persona you wish to convince us is the real you. Do you fantasize yourself some Oscar Wilde character, ostracized from society for your ways?

Where is the real you, Mock? Unlike those you're willing to write off as 'housewives,' you contribute nothing from yourself, personal experience or indeed anything that could be described as reality or life. The sex-less, lacking, foppish, socially inept, wannabe-ubercritic you pass yourself off convinces less and less the longer you keep your charade running.

And while I likewise applaud your attempts to defend your father-figure Plague, and your good buddy Cyg. It's just rather tragic seeing you flail around without someone to agree with, or generally brown-nose. Or compare notes on japanese porn with.

And frankly, to finish neatly, you are such a fucking twat. A twat of the highest order. Work on your downright, inescapable twattishness before you attempt to lambast others in your childishly inept way.
It's a glitch! An incredibly specific glitch!

I’ve argued with Monkey a few times about events on the forum.  Not heated or tear-jerking rows, sadly, and no fist fights - but plenty of disagreement.  I’d rather Plague hadn’t gone, that’s for sure, and I have a similar view when it comes to others who have left, like Cygnus when he left previously, apparently badgered into submission.  There’s always a good case for “if you can’t hack it, fuck off”, sure, but the battles can become one-sided and quantity can win over quality sometimes.

Most importantly I get the impression that some people genuinely think that the group would be better without Mock and Cygnus.  It would be much worse.  If you take the forum and deduct a cyborg and an anti-semite you have less, don’t you see?

I don’t visit discussion boards to agree with people or share pleasantries and I doubt I ever will.  I’ll find something to disagree with in minutes of being back online which is, according to my new ISP, on the 20th of May.

Yes, Wes.

I see that your quote has the date 5/13 associated with it and that Henry's quote has the date 5/16 associated with it.

And, I remember from elementary school that 16 comes AFTER 13.

I mean...really?

Is this really what you're going to do now?

After I've just detailed how disingenuous your reasoning tends to be?

Is it a joke?

How did you figure that I wouldn't be able to read the dates on those two posts?
