READ my top post rather than merely masturbated over it you would have comprehended that I am against the rating system for the simple reason that immature posters such as yourself utilize it as a personality grading system rather than as a measurement of top post quality. So forth and so on. I'm not going to bother reposting the contents, because evidently you really DO need to enter an adult continuing education reading course and so a mere repeat of what has already been posted would be fruitless.

You are acting childish here -- both in arguments and in posting actions -- and you need to cut your loses now and DO try to grow up just a bit.

the fact is that anyone reading this thread can instantly realize that you and BFD have NOT been addressing the contents of the top post nor acting like decent Fray citizens, but have instead taken turns engaging in drive-bys against ME and doing so only because you do not agree with my ideologies or political opinions.

The evidence is obvious in the nature of the these thread replies. I have dealt with you two with more than a reasonable amount of courtesy and patience and still you two have done absolutely nothing but launch personal attacks against me. The nature of your hatred is obvious for one an all to see. Really, I am moved to wonder WHAT you think you are gaining from all this rancorous posting activity.

Do you somehow imagine that you are actually IMPRESSING the new Fray editor?

The top post is one click away for everyone to read. If you had a clue you would realize that I uprate conservative posters when I think they have made a good top post. The editor, I am sure, could verify this by checking. You could too if you bothered to really pay attention to the boards rather than jump to your silly conclusions. You did finally write a reasonable top post a day or so ago on BOTF and I gave a reasonable reply to it. So when you choose to be reasonable and quit flaming people and then crying like a spoiled 9 year old when you get the exact response you were trolling for, you get reasonable replies.

If you can't take the heat of people answering your flame bait, then quit flamebaiting. You have moderated your behaviour somewhat so perhaps its getting through that self centered skull of yours that the other posters on this site do not worship the ground you walk on or the words you write. In fact most of us are simply trying to enjoy lively conversation and post interesting posts here. Join us and please display some of this massive talent you are always raving about. I'd really like to witness some of it at least once before I die of old age.

so of personal attacks launched against me in these two top post threads, only NOW are you finally waking up to reality and starting to write as if you had a functioning intellect?

Well, better late than never, I guess. Every top post I write is replete with plenty for a THOUGHTFUL poster to reply to. It has ALWAYS been YOUR choice and BFD's choice to reply ONLY to the segments that you decide to take as offensive in nature. Perhaps you have finally realized that some few posters are capable of looking past the surface and realizing that I am one of the few opposition posters that delivers pithy and intriguing political and ideological perspectives on the issues of the day. Perhaps, on the other hand, you HAVE finally re-read these two top posts threads and begun to realize that to any disinterested observer you and BFD HAVE been attacking me for no good reasons, considering how civilized and reasoned I have been in the majority of my replies for post after post after post.

For future reference NickD there is ALWAYS something interesting that a reasonable poster can select within my BOTF top posts to reply to IF he or she is reasonably mature and in the mood for personal honesty. Other posters of a Liberal vent have no problem doing so. So, in the future, do yourself and your fellow posters a favor and make that effort or simply don't open my top posts. Either methodology works for me.

You are the one who claims to be so brilliant. I have seen one decent top post by you that I can recall that did not rely on insults and flames. That is not reasonable and it is not Pithy.

For future reference anytime I reply to you on Fraywatch or BOTF it is not stalking. I post on both of these boards and if you don't want a reply here don't post here with silliness or flames.. Your silly accusations against me still stand out there for the world to see. They indeed make you look silly so regardless of your protestations I am happy the world gets to see you for what you are.

Reasoned? hehehehe

Looking forward to another silly reply, Silly.

the new editor? Look Garewood, I hope its okay if i use your approved alternative spelling of your name, I think if the editor really looks at this thread, and I am sure he has at least glanced through it he will see your ultimatums and demanding narcissism for what it is. That I addressed your arrogance and your narcissism is why I responded to begin with. it is you who then began the serial insults and self aggrandizing.

I hope the editor indeed does closely analyize the two threads in question here, and the last few weeks of both your posts and mine.. I stand unashamed of anything I have ever written in reply to you or anyone else.
