I'll see all my homies on IMessangers, but for the most part, I'm not going to participate in the forums anymore. It seems that I touched some sesitive vibe of the universe and now people are pissed. I don't think I'll gain anything postive out of dealing with this, so I'll leave you with this state of mind

- who give a crap what someone in Australia thinks of you?

anyway, as the great Captian Kirk would say, C'est la vie.

Nate, the problem here is that you automatically assume that everyone who disagrees with you is only doing it because they hate you. Has it ever crossed your mind that you may actually be wrong occasionally? The Microsoft thing: You told me to shut up, never genuinely apologised, and then just ran away when a whole lot of people disagreed with your opinions. Now the anti-Catholic thing: You made some controversial comments, and then flatly refused to debate them, or even justify them.

You automatically assumed in both cases that people were telling you off because they just hate you. This is, I am sad to say, pure arrogance on your part. You never seemed to be willing to talk about anything - it was always a case of saying something that pissed someone off, followed by the least sincere apologies I have ever seen anywhere. Almost every time I have ever seen you back down on this forum, you have not said, "Okay, I see your point, you win," but "Sheesh, you are completely irrational, so I am just going to say I let you win, even though I know I'm right". Do you have any idea of just how infuriating that is?

I am an emotional person, sure, and I have a rotten temper, but I am not immune to logic. I study logic and argument at university, for fuck's sake, and I get good marks. Your refusal to debate or argue like a grown-up is what makes me angry. Yeah, I know you are not a grown-up, but damn... you could at least try, couldn't you?

I wasn't joking when I said I wanted to seriously debate your anti-Catholic ideas with you. I really did, and I still do, but you never once produced a single argument for me to debate. It got frustrating!

Like I said to dcomposed, nobody can make you go anywhere. I don't like you much, but I know a lot of other regulars would be sad to see you go. In fact, I am fairly sure that my dislike of you puts me in the minority. I will end this rant with one bit of advice: Nobody likes to be wrong, but one of the hardest skills an adult has to learn is the ability to admit fault, as much as they may hate to.

No, the only important thing is to develop a sense of moral responsibility and forge a standard of ethical behaviour that precludes the development of a sociological cesspool of "hooray for me, fuck you" motherfuckers that sit about, in what is essentially a sewer, while they look out for number one.

But that's just the opinion of Goddamn near every even quasi-functional society's scholars since Methuselah was a choirboy. I could be wrong.

You know for a fact that at the very least you're going to keep coming back to read the forums. You may go so far as to make another alter ego and start posting again.

So why waste the time?

Just don't leave. You know you love it here.

I just came back to say I'm sorry for saying those things about catholics. I do make myself an ass when I talk about religion... I've been kind of sheltered and I don't have very many good debating skills. I felt that I didn't have the energy to go into another argument with nothing to show for it... anyway, I officialy/unofficialy apologize for the things I've said and ways I've acted. I need to take a break from this though... I feel as though I've been failing and just been getting more and more depressed... worried about what I've done and everything. So forgive me(if you care) for acting that way and everything... maybe I'll see you all around. Right now I have to jack out and try to obtain a life where my emotions wont revolve around this...

Good riddance to the fundie! Now to chase out the Catholics!

DexX, you sure throw a lot of sissy tantrums for someone who claims to just want a logical, rational debate about Microsoft being evil and someone being wrong about religion.

You get good marks in logic and argument at university and that somehow makes you less of an idiot? Sorry, no logic there. People in those classes are generally long-winded, self-righteous moralist crybabies like yourself, calling foul whenever someone doesn't agree with their "superior" opinions instead of just conceding that maybe you're just as full of shit as you think other people are.

Word ate your homework, Nate told you to suck it up and move on. He was right. Don't expect sympathy from strangers. It's not logical.

I suppose I'll post the obligatory *grabs popcorn*

I think it's a stupid argument to start. Everyone has their own beliefs and won't change them. To talk about it is as if you want them to change their beliefs and agree with you. I'll go now, Superstition is on VH1 Classic...

Yeah, DexX, you self-righteous superior moralist crybaby! Always coming off like you're not full of shit! We're onto you! One more high-and-mighty lecture from you and I'll be forced to make up an alias and attack you! Because I'm a wanker!

Now, really, you should think of the most important thing: How does this affect me?

Way to wuss out, DexX. It couldn't POSSIBLY be that you're just whiny and annoying enough to piss off a lurker. It's gotta be a conspiracy!

Look at that dorkrod go! I clocked its 0-to-troll speed at 5.4 seconds!

We're lucky that Brad isn't a meddling bastard, or he'd be checking IP's and email accounts and telling us who all the unknowns are.

out-fucking-standing.

And to think , when they made the "Crabby" troll , they reckoned it was the Titanic of trolls. Unsinkable , unbreakable , unbeatable.

I just realized dorkrod was a palindrome.

I can't really think of a regular who has any beef with DexX. I've always felt that DexX was one of the most beloved regulars on the site.

HE DREW PICTURES OF US DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps, dorkkrod is Nate?

Heya gorgeous!

Since you are at work doing overtime, shouldn't you actually be, uh, doing work? :)

(Sorry everyone - Bec normally posts from the same room as me, so this is a novelty for me.)

And of course, you are such a mature adult that you would never ever get upset over anything?

Um, lest anyone suspect that I am dorkrod (as opposed to merely a dorkrod), I hereby deny it. I consider DexX a pal and the greatest non-Brad contributor to this site. Even though DexX likes Billy Joel and is clearly wrong about many things, namely those points on which he disagrees with me, he strikes me as one of the more patient, self-effacing, and amiable persons I've met online, and if I feel like insulting him, I'll just be myself.

quote:

None of that, of course, has ANYTHING to do with the fact that DexX has very obviously been on a petty, shallow, and mean-spirited campaign to harass and bully usually young and inexperienced people on these boards for some time.

---

But you've been stinking up the rest of the boards with your stupid bullshit lately too and since nobody else seems to want or be able to, I just wanted to cast my vote for STOP BEING SUCH AN ANNOYING BITCH.

If it weren't for DexX I would still be the annoying little troll that I was when I first came to these forums. DexX came right out and told me pretty much "Hey, your a dick. No one really likes you." That eye opener made me change my tune and turn into the beloved regular I am today. I applaud DexX in his efforts to better our site by taking stands against these annoying people and also for speaking his mind freely. It takes a big man to speak his mind without creating an all new alias (dorkrod).

---

I think any valid points dorkrod may or may not be making are devalued by the fact he/she felt an alias was required to make them.

While I have no beef with Dexx, I have to say I felt slightly uneasy watching him and the missus ganging up on poor Nate, who we have to remember is both young and one of those homeschool weirdos, and therefore lacking in certain social skills.

...DexX has very obviously been on a petty, shallow, and mean-spirited campaign to harass and bully usually young and inexperienced people on these boards for some time.... He's been condescending, smug, infuriated, insulting, sighing, raging about logic, demanding apologies, using the crowd to intimidate and stomping up and down quoting "rules" of arguing when things don't go his way...
Nobody, especially me apparently (I suspect none of the regulars want to open that can of worms by telling you to shut the hell up), wants to read your bitching and moaning and watch you lamely try to destroy teenagers with your sad-by-grown-up-standards arguing skills.

---

Well, it's not me, just in case anyone thought it was. DexX is one of the few people in the world I actually like. :)

I was kidding. I know it wasn't you, boo.

Oops. Didn't mean to post that yet. There's more.

I was kidding. I know it wasn't you, boo. And no, I don't think it's bunner, either. I was just rounding up the usual acerbic suspects. I have no doubt that bunner would just come out and say what he thinks without hiding behind an alias, and I have read enough of your posts to know that you wouldn't post shiat like that.

I didn't think anyone would take my mock suspicions seriously.

I figured you were kidding, but I really did want to address this. Normally, I wouldn't even bother to come out and deny something like this because I don't think it's anyone's business who's who in an online forum. But I thought it was important to state my feelings about DexX, whom I plan to lure away from Bec with my feminine wiles. Anyway, I didn't take your supposition too seriously, Mr. Floating Head Donkey Rapist.

By the way, for what it's worth, I am not necessarily convinced that dorkrod is a regular hiding behind an alias. The lack of comics would tend to indicate that it was an alias created just to troll DexX without alienating anyone against the usual identity but that is hardly conclusive proof. I find the whole "who is this really?" game to be tiresome, so I usually assume until proven otherwise that each new username that comes along is a new person. I'm a sucker that way (insert homosexual innuendo here (and here)).

Okay, I admit it... dorkrod was me. I did it all because that bastard DexX won't put me on his favorites list.

Shakes his fist in the air

Curse you, DexX!!!
