John, for what it's worth, you escalated this situation with your quote above. Just calling a spade a spade. Leave it out and this thread goes on just fine. Why rehash old stuff just for the sake of getting a jab in? Leave well enough alone and don't threadcrap on a Polkfest thread that has nothing to do with your personal feelings about other members. Just saying.....

For what it's worth, check who I replied to. It was Lou, the host. If people can't see the irony and humor in the post that's sad.

As far as telling Lou to sit at home with Pauly, who already said he wasn't going, it was a silly joke ribbing Lou and Pauly indirectly and did not warrant his response at all.

Save the "Have a sense of humor" and "It was a silly joke" routine. That gets old and played out when it happens over and over again. Fact is you took a shot at Pauly, he saw it and he reacted. You don't post it; he doesn't react. A lot of us (notice I said "us") have a tendency to incite others with stuff that we KNOW gets under their skin. You took a shot and he called you out. We don't need another 3 pages of you telling the entire forum how right you are, how wrong we are and use a bibliography to support your claims. (That's sarcasm; if you don't see the humor in that I feel sorry for you. See what I did there?)

Bottom line is we all have a tendency to act like an **** on here (some more than others). It MIGHT be nice for you to admit that you are wrong once in a while, throw out that it was a poor attempt at humor and move on instead of constantly justifying your stature on this board.

OK, you're preaching is not being received well. People take pot shots at me on a DAILY basis here. I'm ALWAYS told to suck it up, it was just a joke. No matter how insulting it is. I tell Lou that he can sit at home on the couch with Pauly and drink a case of Natty Light and now all of a sudden I'm the bad guy?! WTF? I didn't take a cheap shot, i didn't question Pauly's character, I didn't throw an insult Pauly's way. Yet it's ok to insult me, threaten my person and go on a tirade through the rest of the thread taking any shot he can at me?

Yeah, sorry, but you can butt out of it now and let it go 'cause I don't see your point of view and you're not being very effective at convincing me. Let it go.

I'm not apologizing. I have nothing to apologize for. What am I supposed to say "Sorry that you have to stay home Pauly?" "Sorry that I jabbed Lou and used you as a contextual reference?" "Sorry that you don't like Natty Light?" "Sorry I made an attempt at humor that you didn't like but it's ok for you to call me names, threaten me and then trash me in a childish, spastic fit all over the forum." Yeah, not gonna happen.

Pauly

Oh the ol "Im the victim" with a twist of spin control.

Im not your buddy that you can make jokes at for everyone to go HAHA its a joke, thats funny. You knew damn well you were taking it personal.

Classy as ever John, you should be a writer.....


Add me to ignore as you have been added

OUT

Pauly

Is anything EVER received well by you? Just offering a bit of advice. Take it how you will.

Have you ever sat down to wonder why people take shots at you? I have absorbed a fair mount of shots here and in just about every case, I could objectively look back at the situation where it occurred and said I could have handled it better. I sometimes wonder if others on here have that capacity.

I am not hanging onto anything. I have let it go. I simply offered an outsider's view of your sometimes confrontational demeanor that is off-putting to some people and accurately pointed out that you took a shot at someone in this thread and got called out.

Nobody asked you to apologize. You know what your intentions were in posting the reply - don't insult us into buying the victim role.

I don't know you or Pauly but have spent enough time on this forum to know where this is headed. I have said my piece. Again, take it for what its worth. Just my .02.

This thread rules. Great job, everyone.

You guys are just jealous because you ain't coming (that, and the voices are not talking to you)

Demiurge

Are there mustache rides and if so how much?

Blah, blah, blah...

Dude...really?

You have no idea where any of it is heading. Pauly dropped it, why can't you? I said it before and I'll say it again, butt out. It's between me and Pauly. You have no horse in this race so just let it be. Can you do that? For the sake of all of us? 'Cause I would really like to drop it but you seem to keep pushing things.

What days are you planning to go? I'm going I just haven't figured out my start and end day yet--I'm thinking Friday and Saturday but who knows maybe Sunday too.
Either way-I could always swing down the road to pick you up-your what probably 15 miles from me?

15 miles, I wish Mike!:(

My son lives on the street that intersects with the Super WaWa & Rt 100 and it takes almost an hour!

If you're going up alone, I'll take you up on the ride Friday night though. It's more fun driving to Polkfest with others. I have to leave with Phil Saturday night though cause Harry & Mike are letting me use their hotel room Friday night but they are checking out Saturday morning. You have my phone number right?

EDIT; just in case you don't have my number, I'll PM it to you. Thanks for the offer Bro.

I will speak from a general standpoint here. Anyone coming to Polkfest for the purposes of backing up internet tommy tuffnuttery against anyone, will be met with the harshest of sanctions on site.

I take the sanctity of my home very seriously gentlemen.


besides, those thinking Jon will be a scaredy cat in person will be let down in that regard anyway.

if you want to press it at another venue, good luck with that.

pressing it at my house will be a dissapointment on many levels.

Can I give John the Moe head clunk with lightman and Dave for effect?:D It would have worked better if it was John, Pauly, and Shawn but alas two of the three won't be there and the Moe head clunk requires three hard noggins! WAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!:eek::D;)

I say we have a cage match with ladders and tables in the middle of the street....Royal Rumble style! No Holds Barred Death Match! Last one standing gets a T-shirt....and a mustache ride from Demi..:eek:

George Grand

John,

Send me a postcard from "around the bend" okay? I have no judgement on this particular interlude, but regardless, you need to consider making a friend of the Ignore List. Life will be healthier for both you and for Club Polk Forums. Embrace the list John.

Slimmer yes, kinder? i dunno man, I dunno I still cant run fast but I have Cardio now, so outrunning me will be more labor intensive than the previous 1/2 block light jog required before

have been a smidge under 290 the last 2 mornings though, will I fully break the 290 plateau? stay tuned.

I lost hope of being lighter than Sal at Polkfest. He's gonna walk into my house looking like an elongated Backstreet Boy at the pace he's going.

I wonder how long a length of loose skin we can stretch out if three or four of us grabbed a hold and started walking away from Sal.:eek:

Louie despite your weight loss I can still see you picking up VW Beetles and hurling them across the street.;)
