Wow, I can't believe I just read the entire thread. I must admire Red for his fighting spirit. I have long given up on trying to lower myself to argue with those who speak out of their asses (albeit some quite eloquently). Russ once stood up for himself in these debates. Now he just let his soldiers do the attacking, while giving them a few pointers every now and then. What's next? Russ arming his army with his firearm collection?
 
Wow what a nice thread........

I must say that I admire Red Dawn for being able to fight 'n flame for so long.....not even I have been able to do that in the couple of flame threads I've had in my days here 😛
 
You two admire someone who must resort to lewd sexual references to a man's wife? Who are your other heros? Ted Bundy? Jack The Ripper? Or, do you only provide that respect to common garden variety thugs like Red?

Russ, NCNE
 
Russ:

That's completely over the top. Good grief.

The man says he's your friend and you're treating him like dirt. 🙁



 
chess9,

I'M OVER THE TOP? Are you drunk?

I suppose that you would find it acceptable if someone said that they were going to have their way with your wife? Or, that the entire US Navy wouldn't be enough to do her?

Here's something that might surprise you. I would just as quickly attack anyone who said those things about YOUR wife. There is a line that CANNOT be crossed and he did so. I don't give a rats ass who he is; friend or foe.

You feel free to stand by and complacently allow that kind of trash, but I will not.

Russ, NCNE
 
Russ:

He used the subjunctive. And followed it with "...not that I would." Although I'm sure Red regrets going quite so far, you never complain about the Right Wing excesses. If we are going to have standards here, without the Supreme Court mandating them, then no one should be above criticism.

I smell a double standard, or better, no standards. 😛 Where's Olsen when you need him? I have an Equal Protection and Due Process argument here!

This is getting boring because the quality of the insults has dropped consistently for the last two weeks. We need an infusion of new talent, or we should invoke a moratorium on political threads for a while. 😛

Happy Holidays, Grinchkin.

Edit: By the way, I never drink before 7 p.m. and only wine. Uh, and only good wine. The gooder the better. 😛

LMAO, good one chess9
 


<< He used the subjunctive. And followed it with &quot;...not that I would.&quot; >>



Chess9,

You do your hero, Slick Willy, proud with your parsing of words. Sad that you find such disgusting, and degrading tactics acceptable. Condoning and supporting this garbage makes you just as low brow as he.

NO Republican, ever, in any debate at these forums has attacked an opponents family, so your references are just another attempt to justify the unjustifiable.

I also see that, in your efforts to excuse this sewer level attack, you chose to use as your example, the LEAST offensive of his remarks.

I suppose you think that &quot;Hell the US Navy probably doesn't have the skills to satisfy your wife, but satisfying her wouldn't be on the top of my agenda.&quot; is also okay?

You are a profoundly blind and witless fool.

Russ, NCNE
 
Russ,

I respect that this is an area where you draw the line. I could have the same thing said about my wife and it wouldn't faze me in the least. Both were flaming each other and insulting what they could. I tend to go nuclear in that situation, and insulting family members would be perfectly fair game.

So I wouldn't complain about you complaining, but it wouldn't stop me in the least.

Red Dawn has been annoying the heck out of me with his repeated insulting attacks, often, it seems to just stir the pot. If DanC wanted to step in and give Red a piece of his mind, then that is his business. However, once insults start to fly and it gets more and more personal, it is hard to say there is a &quot;line&quot; that can't be crossed. I don't recall DanC saying that the insult had gotton too personal. heck, he was attacking what Red Dawn does for a living in a pretty demeaning manner.

I have now noted that insults about your female friends and family set you off in a way that I would have to be truly willing to piss you off before I would use it. It wasn't &quot;nice&quot; what Red Dawn did (nor what DanC did), but I do not share your sense of outrage.

jjm,

You mean the member who has been BANNED? No, I don't remember him attacking anyone's family, but I do know he's been BANNED. I also know he deserved it, even though his offenses were not of this magnitude.

Russ, NCNE
 
Well, Dirky personally attacked my wife and son and claimed he was a died-in-the-wool Republican to boot. I also saw him use the same tactics on others. I think you are mistaken, Russ.
 
Russ:

I didn't defend it, I simply think if Red is a friend, and you want to keep your friend, that a PM might have been a little more astute and kind.

Red is very creative and in need of a good editor, but he's pretty funny. Also, DanC had something coming for his low wattage blunderbuss attack. (God help the employees who work under him.)

It's ok to snipe at complete strangers and treat them like sh*t, but you really shouldn't treat your friends that way. 😛

Oh, and, yes, the Republicans are always charming, bright, kind, helpful, cheerful, and never, never rude, or low. It's in the genes. 🙂 Come on, Russ, get a grip. Most of your little robots, like TagTeamJones, IFormattedMyLIfeandnowI'mEliteMerde, DanCan'tBeNormal, and others-some of whom are dearly departed-really revel in the lowest attacks. I notice that even Etech has replaced his bland prose with an occasional ad hominem retort. This attack dog mentality was started by the right wing, and is merely perpetuated because you guys haven't learned to stop being intensely cruel. Dare I mention your many attacks on Paulson? You reap what you sow.

 
jjm,

I didn't see him do that. But, if he did, then he deserves whatever fate he has earned by his actions and his words. And I would point out, again, that he was BANNED. I would suppose that it is more acceptable for someone like Red to engage in this because he stands beside you on political issues?

Russ, NCNE
 
You know, Russ, i have been on this forum for like 4 months, and all i ever see you do is make people feel stupid or like you are so much better than the rest of us. there is a difference between kidding around and what you do. I know things were said that shouldnt have been. but you look worse coming down to that level. I have been wanting to tell you this forever now, but didnt because of all the rumors about the &quot;secret&quot; forum and how you are a member and blah blah. I dont care. I dont want to be a part of that ever if people like you are there. If you are going to contribute to the community, which i know you have before, do so, but no one died and nominated you god. we shouldn't have to put up with your smart-A remarks.

<braces for flaming>

and if im right, you all should speak up to.
 
Now, Russ, I did not state that I was standing up for anyone in this fight. I simply suggested that you might be inaccurate. In fact, I just finished a search and found you had posted in some of the same threads where DippyDirk pulled these antics. You did not personally partake in DirkWad's distasteful methods, but you certainly should have witnessed them. I am not trying to embarrass you or pick a fight. Why are you attempting to take shots at me? Just admit you were mistaken and move along with your fight with Red.
 
Why are Republicans so righteous? Man Please. Look at a couple of those scoundrels. Jerry Falwell, and they talk about Jesse. Bob Jones, the only college that openly disapproves of inter-racial dating. Rush Limbaugh, this fat fool is one of the most dumbest big mouths in America. And yet they talk about how &quot;good they&quot; are. There is just as many snakes that are Republicans than there is Democrats. Check that, there are more in Republican party. I want to see if all the Republicans here start crying when Bush and the right-nut wing dings attack the internet. They already blame the internet for all the school shootings.
 


<< And yet they talk about how &quot;good they&quot; are. >>



It is written...&quot;there is only One who is good, that is God&quot;.

When it comes to Democratic policy that affects the course of the Nation, we believe it is, destructive.

To us, it's not a matter of &quot;I like Intel, you like AMD&quot;, but it is a matter of life or death, for the Nation.

Democrats who believe that they will now get to &quot;rest&quot;, and spend their time taking pot shots at us as we restore this Nation, must realize that we have not yet finished the investigation.

🙂
 


<< ( x ) That's me mooning all those who were offended >>

Oh no, you've got that wrong. That's you assuming the position you always choose when paying homage to your political idols. I know its going to be a long four years for you Red, now that your masters are out of power, but maybe you can catch some action down at the local liberal hangout. Don't forget the K-Y this time though.

You amuse me little one. I've known since the very first day that I ever met you what your problem is and I still do. It isn't that you think you're better than anyone else even though thats the front you put forward. The fact of the matter is that you think everyone else is better than you. In most cases you're correct, but only because you've allowed it to be so in your tormented mind. I've watched your evolution into the embittered petty sniveling little creature that you've become and frankly you havn't ever surprised me one bit. You are perfectly predictable and for me a great source of entertainment as I know just which buttons to push in order to set you off. I pity you and all those around you who must endure your psychic mutilation, but know one thing. They all see what I see and the only reason they stick around is because they pity you also.

Your psyche must be in a constant state of utter rage with all the self loathing you display. I'll bet that I know the root of it all too. I just havn't decided yet if it was your daddy, an uncle, or an older brother. Your openly displayed utter hatred and torment directed towards one of the youngest members here was a tell-tale symptom of your sad condition. You get worse with each passing day and will continue to do so until you reach a point of crisis where you must deal with what torments your soul. I would advise that you seek professional help soon as the next step in your disorder will probably land you behind bars for a long long time and then you'd be reliving that childhood trauma on a daily basis.
 
bigbootydaddy,

I'm sorry, but you'll have to fill me in on who you are. I've never heard of you, so I can only assume that you're some band-wagon jumping, johnny come lately wannabe child, trying to emulate some of the grownup opposition like jjm and Chess9.

Palconoid:

Your nurse is looking for you. Please go take your medicine and quit wandering the halls. It makes Russ nervous.

Bwuahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😛
 
Palco before you start praising the Republican party, I think you better read Matthew, Mark, Luke,and John. Then spend sometime in the Epistles of Paul. You try to come off spiritual, but what you base it on I question. Obviously not in the Bible. The Republicans can easily be mistaken for the Pharisees of Jesus day. They like, the republicans were always putting down the &quot;sinners&quot;. But Jesus rejected them completely. So much so that Jesus even went so far to say that the very ones they judged as being unholy would enter the Kingdom of God before them. Paul warns of these very times today. He said there would be those that would be like clouds with no water. Everytime you turn around there's some Republican condemning some democrat or liberal as they call them. Since the birth, death, and resurection of Christ God has never used any man to condemn another. God is not associated with a Party. Or have you not read that you are not suppose to judge another man's servant. Find these words in the scripture and maybe why you seeking them God will give you understanding that your affiliation of Him with a political party is wrong. Its nothing wrong with trying to set a moral standard but to reduce God's agenda to that of a political party is a sin itself. I think you better correct yourself, before he allows you to be corrected. Stop trying to reduce God to be as foolish as a man.
 


<< I want to see if all the Republicans here start crying when Bush and the right-nut wing dings attack the internet. >>

If they can find a way to keep racists off the 'net then I'm all for it. But of course we wouldn't be able to hear your reaction to such a thing then would we?
