Way to exaggerate, Bender!

Exaggerate? You think when I calculate the number of people who hate me, I should count you as only 1.5 people instead of 2?

Are you quite done, Nancy?
...and Nik, facing a losing battle, falls back onto anti-gay slurs. Classy.

Mastercard and Visa specifically state that you can not charge usage OR minimum charges.

Amex says that you can charge minimums, but if you accept Visa or Mastercard, you can not charge for amex since visa and mastercard must be free and that would discriminate.

There, happy?

Wow, I've got a lot of companies to turn in.


Way to admit you're wrong. Owned

I think you should apologize for saying he was, and I quote "full of poop."

He makes fun of my weight, so I make fun of his sexuality. He's no better or worse than I am, yet you focus on me. Why is that?

Jesus, I hope the anti-gay slurs weren't crushed in the accident.

Also, Nik, you really can and will get companies investigated... At my university we called and complained about the $10 minimum charge in the dining halls, and guess what? Less then 24 hours and it was resolved.

also, as a former FES at Home Depot, we would get a call or 2 a week with them checking up on us when customers would report usage charges on their cards... of course, it was always because they were logoed debit cards, but they would definitely call and ask to chat with me and ask me to provide documentation.

Making fun of something you can't control and making fun of something you can control are two different things.

Hey, if I'd seen him do it I woulda said something there too. It's wrong to mock anyone for either.

Well he's done it in this very thread, among many others. I await your public chastisement of Nebor!

I enjoy our mocking. I have to say, the disparity in our cruelty to one another sometimes makes me feel bad. It's like he's pulling his punches.

I also enjoy a good ribbing (hey no gay jokes) but I often find it difficult to justify my good material in most insulting volleys :p

Ohhhh, I only just now got that "crushed in the accident" comment. Just for the record, without knowing Nik's overweight it just looks like an amusing pun.

Nebor, you're an asshat too.

Ribbing? How big do you think I am? :Q

I find that exchange strangely heartwarming.
