Intent,SD. It's all about intent. I can call you every name in the book and it wouldn't matter because you can't take it personal. We don't know each other. Never met. Whether I met or not,I would NEVER say that I was above you.CuddleFish IS an instigator,an agitator and VERY judgemental. There have been a few heated arguments that we've gotten into and said some things but when all was said and done,I cerainly didn't log off to have a smoke before catching an hour's worth of sleep and think to myself"That SD! I am so much better than her!". NEVER. Not once. Like I've stated before,I don't give two salty s***s what you think of me but if you debate me well,I'll have PLENTY of respect for you. The only reason I'm even replying to your points is because of that respect. CuddleFish couldn't even give me that. She doesn't respect or refried because she thinks her s*** don't stink and she is better than the both of us.— October 30, 2009 12:40 a.m.

How would that be censorship? "I did not ask you to apologize for me having the flu, Pete. That would be ridiculous--and I'm not asking you to apologize anymore --not just for being inconsiderate in that situation--but for anything--because you made it clear that we are not friends, and that you do not consider it worth your time to cultivate relationships with posters. It is about proclaiming your opinion, all the way--I get it." How in the motherf*** was I inconsiderate to you? I said"Hey,SD? Hope your getting well" and started to talk about the swine flu scare. I'm suddenly not allowed to give my opinion on something just because you're ill with it? F*** that bulls***! You sound like CuddleFish now. Refried made an absolutely dead on point about us just being characters in a forum. That was his way of saying that. My way of saying that is"F*** you all! This IS all about me because I'm the motherf***er sittin' in this chair right now." If you were next to me while I was in here it might be a bit more about you. What part of I COME INTO THE "ROOM",TALK ABOUT WHATEVER IS BEING DISCUSSED AND LEAVE EVENTUALLY that escapes your brain? I've been a part of the website,(notice how I don't say group?)since late July. I've never met any of you. Maybe someday I will. Most likely,I won't. I'm moving to Esco on November 29th. I may run into Mindy at Ralph's and NEVER know it's her.— October 30, 2009 12:33 a.m.

Ok. Fair enough,SD. If I call you a fish eating bulldyke,that's low. My intent is to harm your pride but also get a few laughs. I know-it's cheap but effective sometimes none the less. That's also something you can shake off and say either"Opinions are like a**holes" OR "sticks and stones...". In my eyes,what CF did was much lower. I'm certainly not going to say RG can't handle himself. He can. He's a big boy. She literally threw a shoe at him. I'm a seasoned battle veteran in forums not unlike these. I've been banned from literally 100's. No sweat off my balls. Most of them I trolled because it was 9-year olds trying to look cool and talkin' s*** about things they knew nothin' about. My point is,there's a line in EVERY war,debate,discussion or conflict that just don't cross. By CF asking RG to re-think his stance is akin to saying"I'm better than you. PERIOD!". I'll be the first to admit that I'm no better than anyone on here. Even fumber. You may be more booksmart than me SD,but what I lack in Shakespeare,I make up in street knowledge. I've seen plenty of fights. Downtown Chicago,northern Illinois suburbs and even prison. I saw some real bad ass fights while locked up but one thing I NEVER saw was someone's deliberate attempt to castrate a man. In CF's case,by her way of thinking. I've seen two guys who HATED each other and called each other's family members ugly,vicious names pratically kill each other. When all was said and done,they either went their seperate ways with a newfound respect or they became friends. They may have said"I'm better than you!" but they were full of piss,vinegar and false bravado.— October 30, 2009 12:14 a.m.

"well i am going to disappear as well, as i have an early call in the morning...those flu shots are not going to give themselves :)" You mean this? This could be taken either as she is talking in the first person or she isn't. I was more focused on her obvious humor of it. Had I remembered she was a nurse,I probably would've asked her what she thought of the whole Swine Flu scare. She also said she was going to bed and I was in a rush to type what I had to say. I wanted her to watch that tonight instead of tomorrow after she had gotten one. Notice how she didn't go off on me for talking about it either? That's called being civilized. I don't know how many times you want me to apologize for not saying more when you had the flu. Had I known how you wanted to hear the sound of my keys typing on my keyboard,I would've wrote you a three part soliloquy entitled"Owed To A Sick Pig Overseas Who Gave Me This Damn Cough".— October 30, 2009 12:02 a.m.

Yeah. He can be pretty boring but I like how he says what most intelligent people are thinking. CuddleFish would think he's racist but I just see him as telling it like it is without really putting his personal opinion into it. Shane Dawson is pretty cool as well. I would subscribe to him as well but I have too many subs to keep up with as it is. I'm not sure what to make of The Station. It's either jackpot or HUGE fail. Lisa Nova's pretty funny and Shay Tard is well...a Shay Tard...lol.— October 29, 2009 11:48 p.m.

As for the flu shots,that had absolutely nothing to do with you getting the Avian Bird-er,swine flu.:-D I tell EVERYONE not to get that shot. It's unsafe and the only reason this has became*cue dramatic music here*THE GREAT FLU SCARE OF '09 is because that's EXACTLY what it is. A flu scare. It's not even close to becoming an epidemic or pandemic or even a demon from the bowels of hell. 1,000+ people have died of this so-called swine flu since it was first used as a scare tactic back in March. 1,000!!!!!! WOW! That's not really a whole lot of people...— October 29, 2009 11:41 p.m.

Touche,SD. After I posted that,I thought about it. You're right. I was being hypocritical. I'll admit when I'm wrong. I think it's different though. Maybe I'm splitting hairs and ALL is fair in love and war but when debating you or whoever,not even I would tread where Cuddles dared to go. Maybe I think that way because I'm so think skinned. I'm certainly not saying you're not. You've earned my respect when it comes to challenging other people's viewpoints and thoughts even if I don't always agree with them. In reality,I go off like a rabid dog not out of anger,hatred or fear. I go off say some pretty heated s*** out of spite. I'll admit that one of my shortcomings is being talked down to. You're about the only one on this board that actually intimidates me intellectually in a heated debate. With the exception of CuddleFish for obvious reasons,I've actually toned my name-calling greatly.— October 29, 2009 11:36 p.m.
