    Huh, well, according to the poll, I'm a centerist with leanings to the left... So much for pollls meaning anything...

Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them.

    2004 Election? It's easy! Get that economy killing, country invader President Bush out of there!!! Replace him with..uhh...ummm...err...... well I haven't though that far ahead.


    Hear that a bunch these days don't ya. It's easy to say someone is horrible at the job but not so easy to say who should take their place. It's a typical mantra these days.

    So..Who do ya want?

    Personally, I like who we have. It seems the competition waffles more than an svs owner's pants.:D

    My opinions are facts... your opinions are opinions.... blah blah blah...

    Let's discuss something we can still agree on... Demi is an unrepentant ****-wipe and not worth the time it takes to agree or disagree with him...

    Thank you... I thought it struck a nice balance between brevity and clarity. However, I was unaware that we are to PM expletives now rather than openly post them.

    Yes. I PM people instead of starting crap on a thread whenever I can. Then you're not running a little comedy show for everyone else in a PM like you would be on a thread.

    I do find it interesting that you don't understand provocation....which is why my last PM will most likely make zero sense to you because you couldn't even understand why I'd be pissed off at you. :rolleyes:

    Must be a new leaf for 2004, cause you've started more than your share of crap around here.

    I even reread your infamous Disney thread, which is not easy since you saw fit to edit out all of your early posts. You were into it with three other members before brett ever made post one... Better than that, in one of your earliest threads you got hissy with Russ.

    You seem to love two things: stirring the pot and yourself (not necessarily in that order)...

    I understand provocation... what I neither understand or excuse is the kind of disproportionate response you directed at brett for which you vow to remain unrepentant.

    Oh and I'll guess you don't like me because I am not letting you get away with your actions... plus I did call you an ****-wipe.

    Lastly as for the comedy comment. Least anyone think I am trying to be funny, I am not. I say to all of them:
    Demiurge's presense on this forum offends me.

    Now please post and/or PM me tellling me what it is I still do not understand. I missed you doing that yesterday...

    Guys, let it end.

    Not really, but ok. Go ahead and point it out and I'd be glad to mend the errors in my way. The only 'crap' I supposedly started was the Disney thread and having good fun with the football game, and then apologized to those who I felt deserved an apology. Brett doesn't deserve to lick the **** off my boots. I told you to do your research if you want. You decided not to so either shut your **** up or own up to the facts. I've let him be on his own and he loves to provoke.

    You said yourself in a PM he's an effin' nag....so I don't know what it is you're missing.
    I even reread your infamous Disney thread, which is not easy since you saw fit to edit out all of your early posts. You were into it with three other members before brett ever made post one... Better than that, in one of your earliest threads you got hissy with Russ.

    Hmm...I was into it with Sid, Faster100, and that one guy from Canada...forgot his name....Radiohead fan...He was the only one with an oposing viewpoint that wanted to have a discussion rather than take it all personally. Which essentially proves it isn't me with the sensitivity problems. Then I edited all my posts to prove those guys would STILL keep bitching...and they did. Pathetic.
    You seem to love two things: stirring the pot and yourself (not necessarily in that order)...

    Yeah, sorry...I like to have meaningful discussions about other things besides posting pictures of scantly clad women. Sue me. Didn't know 'controversy' wasn't allowed here. I've learned my lesson though.

    Then again...I never would have thought a poll about the Presidency would turn out like this...but I'm sure you'll find a way to put the blame on me.
    I understand provocation... what I neither understand or excuse is the kind of disproportionate response you directed at brett for which you vow to remain unrepentant.

    Hmm..You don't agree with me. I can accept that. I wouldn't try to argue my case if you'd just leave me alone. Put me on your ignore list or something....or better yet...try to act like a mature adult and just don't respond to me if I'm not at your level. I don't give 2 ****. I'd just rather not come here and deal with all this **** because I told some guy to go suck a **** because he's a complete ****. :eek:
    Oh and I'll guess you don't like me because I am not letting you get away with your actions... plus I did call you an ****-wipe.

    I don't really have a reason not to like you. I haven't been able to figure out if you're just trying to defend a friend or actually want to hear what I have to say. I'm split though...So that's why i'm possibly just wasting my time here. Guess we'll see. Not ever talking to you would be fine by me, but i'd rather not argue with you and the others anymore. Rather useless.
    Lastly as for the comedy comment. Least anyone think I am trying to be funny, I am not. I say to all of them:

    Oh, you're offended because I called him a ****? Sorry to all the homosexuals here. I didn't realize the word carried so much weight.....oh wait...it's only because he's actually ****...maybe that was the point. He can cuss me out and call me every name in the book, but I can't be derogatory towards him? :rolleyes:

    Now please post and/or PM me tellling me what it is I still do not understand. I missed you doing that yesterday...

    Damn...should have read this far down before I started replying to you. Guess I really am wasting my time. Please just put me on your ignore list and then you don't have to deal with me. Everyone else should do it too because I'm just a complete **** who started a thread about Disney's questionable business practices! Cardinal sin here at Club Polk! :D:D:D:D

    Sorry F1. Didn't see your post till after my reply. I agree. Guess I didn't need to have such a verbose response and should have just put it in simple terms like you did.

    Hope I sway people to look at both sides before they condemn me for stuff I never did. My apologies.

    Thanks for the thought Jesse, but not just yet...

    Demi,
    If you are going to quote PM's, at least get it right.

    With regards to brett, here's the exchange:

    Demi:
    Brett is a nagging jerk that can't leave people alone.

    Tour:
    Brett nag... yes. Seen it with others and have even called him on it. Might have done the same in your case, but...

    Please point out where I said brett was an "effin' anything". You can't because it's only in your mind.

    The only personality trait I cannot tolerate is arrogance.
    The only people that mystify me are those that walk through life without demonstrating even the slightest hint of self awareness.
    You have managed to score the rare Daily Double...
    More later,

    So he's a nag, but you didn't say effin'. Don't see the difference champ. Nice talking to you. I should have known better than to think you actually wanted to understand. Stick your head back in the ground and have a nice life.

    And I could care less what you can't stand. Get a life man, seriously.

    Demi, clearly you're not bright enough to see that while he was acknowledging that I can be a nag, I'm not a jerk, regardless of your problem with me.(correct me if I'm wrong on that Tour).

    I don't know where you get off telling people to stick their heads in the ground. Have some respect you twit. If your solution to people disagreeing with you is suggestions such as that, you might as well tuck and run. YOUR attitude is a SEVERE problem, and with your head residing in your **** as you've shown over time, you won't ever get that. Point your fingers at me all day long, it's not gonna affect the fact that YOUR ATTITUDE IS ****. Oh, and this "victim" mode that you throw yourself into on a VERY regular basis.......grow the **** up.

    I'm gonna hold out hope though that you might come up for air sometime........

    Brett. Learn to read you jackass. You act as if everyone agrees with you. You're an **** end of story, IMO. You think the same of me, but I don't care what you think of me. So shut the eff up already you nag. Your little buddy wanted to play a game and act as if he cared to understand, he didn't. Have a nice day. End it already instead of trying to get the last word. Sorry I wasted my time on you.

    I'm done. You're a ****, have fun. IGNORE

    ROFLMAO.....you act as if you tried to accomplish something......You're such an idiot it's amazing.

    For someone that seems to pride himself on his supposed intelligence, it's amazing how you don't know the difference between being insulting and deragatory. I'd even argue though that you REALLY are an idiot, so my comments are more descriptive than anything. If you equate **** and idiot, you really are oblivious. I've explained that I'm not bothered that someone as cowardly as you called me a ****. I'm just amazed that you'd be so comfortable with yourself for thinking that it's something that's ok to say. Your **** comment was bad enough, but then to follow that up recently with the 'packing my ****' comment shows what a loser you are. You're a bigot, and I'd just prefer for you to own that rather than play the victim card. I'd imagine that you have no problem throwing out the "N" word just to make such a point as you've tried to here. I'd like you to go and test that out and report back with the results. I'd LOVE to see/hear how that turned out........

    For the record, I don't care if anyone agrees with me or not about your attitude (unlike you, I don't have to involve anyone else in my issues with you). It (your attitude) bothers me, and I've made a point to enlighten you about that, possibly to the point of nagging.....oh well. You shouldn't feel picked on, victimized, beat up on, harrassed, berated, scolded, or sacraficed (throw in any other synonyms there I've missed) because anyone else that acts like you do will get the same reaction.

    I'm a person that doesn't put up with peoples **** and if that qualifies me as an ****, so be it. No sweat off my back that someone like you thinks so.

    Now, back to your lil fanclub/fantasyworld, you piece of ****.

    So hey John Strong.

    A panda bear walks into a bar. He sits down, calls the bar tender over. "what would ya like?"
    Well, the panda bear says.. "I'd like a ..............beer."
    The bar tender says, "sure thing pal..but, why the big pause?"

    Get it? It's funnier if it's spoken. Thank somebody from bob and tom for that one.:D
