IMMensaMind 462 Posted September 14, 2010 Um. Just a thought here' date=' but you should probably drink decaffeinated drinks. As intelligent as your vocabulary and articulation of your own opinions suggest that you are, you seem to lack the ability to gather nuance within the scope of your reading comprehension. As a result, you've attacked a respected member of FF Today as though you were talking to a troll, simply because he teased you.[/quote'] I believe you know that what he was doing wasn't teasing. Teasing implies familiarity: I don't know Me_2006 from Adam (or Eve, for that matter). There was nothing light-hearted about it; nothing implied humor - he just came at me because I called out someone who was acting like an ######. Claiming that he was teasing is simply bandwagon riding, Dan - it's a lie. Either that, or you had a momentary lapse in comprehension, and have too much pride to admit that you overreacted from the first. I didn't over-react at all - I shovelled it back in his face, because that's what he/she deserved. It was a clear reach-around for his/her friend - edjr - the one I criticized for being an asshat for no reason whatsoever. edjr was trolling, and I commented. PS. The pithy idiom, while true, is ironic coming from one so verbose. It really doesn't matter to me if you believe that Me_2006 is well-respected. Your unsolicited comment to me just means that you're another one of the cadre of posters who defend one another. The question is: do you defend one another regardless what one another does? That shouldn't be. Respect has to be earned, and can be lost. What edjr did to a couple of posters was bullshit, and I made my comment on him for it, and what Me_2006 did in response to support someone who didn't deserve support was equally bullshit, and I pounded him back for it - and we are where we are. As NorthernVike said: Ahh grow a pair you focking nancy. edjr has been acting like "white trash" and a d-bag on the main board. IMMENSAMIND called him on it. ME_2006 got all offended that his buddy edjr was called out. I think you're out of line Me_2006 or in love with your buddy edjr. I just think ME_2006 is making himself look bad. Thank you, Gepetto, for explaining your view of this - that's exactly what I saw, and I thought I'd comment on it (because no one else did). I don't post much here, but I've been a member since last year, and unsolicited rudeness shouldn't be tolerated here. If you're going to bust someone's balls, you should know them to allow the barb to be taken in an intended light-hearted spirit. edjr didn't do that; he simply troll-baited someone, and he did it more than once. I was done with the whole topic awhile ago, but Me_2006 wouldn't let it go away. That's on him, but there is no such thing as forum superiority: there's no way I'm going to allow anyone - pissant or otherwise - to continue to take shots at me for doing something I thought was proper. Now, Me_2006: are you committed to continue this idiocy, or just let it die? It shouldn't be hard to admit that what edjr did was out of line, and deserving of criticism - which is all I did. If you want to continue, you'll likely win the argument: all an idiot has to do is drag the other person down to their level and beat them with experience, right? Prove to me that you have no experience being an idiot, and we'll both walk away from this confrontation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because clearly poli-sci, drop-out, self-important smelly dooshtards are the only ones who do. The fact that you see every bit of this argument through your slanted, self-obsessed and clearly inaccurate lens is amazing to me. Guess what? No one gives one flying fock about that play anymore. It's football, move the fock on and figure out what you're going to do next and quite arguing and crying about the minute details of what happened. I can promise you that you are so entrenched in your own view that you don't have the ability to look at it objectively. LOL@UCRYINGOVERMSGBRDTEASING Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 462 Posted September 14, 2010 WOW! You have to be the biggest focking poosay this bored has evah seen. You show up with a screen name of ~IMMensaMind~ and you don't expect people to give you shiot? I guess I told the wrong person to grow a focking pair. As you can see, I can hold my own just fine - thanks. You're a Vikings fan - so who's surprised at anything you'd support? Next thing you know, we'll enjoy the whiny rant of a Bears fan as well. As for growing a pair - what's that mean? Take the criticism, and STFU? I would have expected that Me_2006 would have done that, but you don't seem to have any consistency in that regard. He actually piped up when criticism was directed at one of his buddies. Grow a pair, indeed. Why don't you "grow a pair" and keep your purple head with blond braids out of this discussion if you think "a pair" matters in here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me_2006 14 Posted September 14, 2010 edjr has been acting like "white trash" and a d-bag on the main board. IMMENSAMIND called him on it. ME_2006 got all offended that his buddy edjr was called out. I think you're out of line Me_2006 or in love with your buddy edjr. C'mon, Gepetto. You've been around long enough to know I'm screwing with him after he got all wound up. Edger is a good guy and all, but he definitely acts abrasive and pulls people's chain on purpose here. You know that too. I'm not defending him, as he doesn't need defending or even care what this random guy I'm messing with thinks. Nor do I. I'm doing it because he's taking himself so seriously and trying to be all impressive. His name is IMMensaMind for God's sake. I happen to know for a fact I'm not the only one enjoying watching him flail around and defend his honor and call me names. Out of line? Go to footballguys. The line is MUCH further here, and just because someone has too high an opinion of themselves to take a little ribbing (that even has a friendly disclaimer at the end of the original joking post) and I happen to enjoy antagonizing him doesn't make me out of line.
