I don't think anyone took that seriously. Everyone knows he's as smooth as GI Joe down there anyway. :tea:

For someone who regards the place with such disdain and contempt, Samsa certainly likes to spend a lot of time over there. I suppose he believes his mere presence in a thread elevates the level of discourse.
Ah, is this where the ridiculous accusations against me started from? Some of the people there I like, and have discussions with, but it's generally drowned out by morons. And yes, my presence does provide a drop of sanity in an ocean of wankery - this isn't a claim about my greatness but rather a simple observation that the average level of discourse is greater than what is found on much of RatSkep.

ePete was so far up Samsa's butt, I didn't know if that was for the lulz or if ePete and Samsa had a thing going. I suspect it was merely to yank Cito's chain.
To be fair, it's not like Paula is any better than ePete - so desperate for approval she just jerks off anyone that seems to be supporting her position. Plus, ePete and my relationship was purely sexual.

Awwwww, and you said on RatSkep you were willing to give me another chance! Are you saying you didn't mean it? :swoon:

Can you provide an example of me jerking someone off please? I'd like to see what that looks like.

taking into account your response to Scott above, Samsa, it brought to mind a poem by the Bard, aptly named "To a Louse".

And I did give you another chance - remember in the thread where I asked you to stop derailing the thread and actually provide some substance, but you never did and instead chose to continue trolling?

The thread mentioned above is a good example of it! You popped into the thread to defend Beatsong's assertion that The Guardian is a feminist publication and that I was being dishonest by not accepting that all journalists who write for it are feminists.

Ah lovely, a cliche tidbit that suggests I should care how pondscum view me... If you're into poetry though, you might like this:
see here, you

blazing bastard fools
poets
with your
idiot scrolls
you are so
pompous
in your
knowledge
so
assured
that you are
on a hot roll
to
nirvana


you
soft lumps of
humanity


you
imitators of
other
pretenders


you are still
in
the shadow of
the
Mother


you
have never
bargained with
the
Beast


you have never
tasted
the full flavor of
Hell


you have never
seen
the Edge of
yourself


you have never
been alone
with the
razor-sharp
walls


you
blazing bastard fools
with your
idiot scrolls


there is nothing
to
know


no place
to
travel


your
lives
your
deaths
your
idiot
scrolls


useless


disgusting


and


not as real
as


the
wart
on the ass
of
a
hog.


you
are rejected by
circumstance.


good
bye.

Great comedy folks. That people from another forum come here to fight with each other about that forum. Something wrong with your own forum that disallows you to do that? :{D

Did you notice how many ratzkeppers who fight here are banned outright or serving long suspensions over there? That explains how some who are not, feel the urge to pile in and put things to rights.

One of my former close friends, whom I'd known since I was a child got involved in a relationship which he deliberately and visibly sabotaged. The poor girl got so sick of his shit that she left him at which point he would call me and everyone else to tell us a various litany of the same three points. She was a slut and an idiot, he was stupid for letting her go and he was so lonely without her. While I do not have a facebook account and never will, I was pointed by other friends to their barrage of post breakup bickering, which went on for about 2 years. They hurt each other, neither could forgive or forget, neither could admit they were both antagonistic to each other in and out of the relationship and were fighting "publicly" to try and get people on their sides.

It kinda reminds me of that, though since I don't know the people involved here and don't really care about their squabbles it is less annoying, equally as tragic and much much funnier.
