BOTF caption contest.... Attention Jeremy
by NickD

The BotF (Best of the Fray) board has been holding a friendly competition with captions on Wednesdays. It is a friendly sort of thing where political and philosophical opposites put aside their differences and compete with each other for the funniest or most entertaining captions under photos selected and linked by the previous weeks winner.

Judging follows the next day with the winner being the final arbitrator. For those willing to participate on a friendly note, please join in next Wednesday. All new comers will be treated with the same respect shown for the board regulars, (actually you'll be treated better than we treat each other)

Jeremy if you would like to chime in with your own captions you are very welcome to do so. However since the entrants are also the voters I cannot promise anything. It would be a good time to let people here get to know you and vise versa.

Its easy to write one of these to generate a lot of views and replies.

It is significantly more difficult to take the time and write a thoughtful and well reasoned post intended to generate intelligent conversation.

Since this is a holiday and our nations birthday, I'll do something else.

So, without further ado......

Palin is an idiot and her followers are morons.

Hillary lost fair and square but her followers are idiots and morons.

Obama supporters are all morons except the ones who are not.

Liberals suck.

Centrists suck.

Conservatives suck.

McCain is an old boob who never should have been nominated.

David Duke is a good republican and should run for president.

Rush Limbaugh is only an entertainer and has zero influence for the republican party.

Rush limbaugh is simply a shit disturber.

Blacks should not vote nor should women or people who do not own property, or who have opinions different from mine own.

Republicans are morons.

Democrats are morons.

Independents are morons.

Third parties are a waste of votes.

Global warming is a hoax.

Global warming is real.

Global warming is not man made.

Global warming is man made.

Slate sucks.

Slate does not suck.

NickD sucks.

NickD does not suck.

Gatewood is a flaming closet queer.

Gatewood has come out of the closet.

JackDallas is a pretender.

JackDallas only pretends to be a pretender.

LAM is just LAM, except for her 37 other nics.

Flaming is easy.

Good posting is usually not.

Without naming nicks...there are two posters on this forum whose real lives are so pathetic that their only claim to relevance is the number of responses they receive for their top posts. As someone whose real life is not so hot these days, I'd like to address them both. I'm doing so in first person, because I'm not going to pretend that I'm speaking for anyone but myself:

Neither of you has written anything worth reading. I mean absolutely nothing. I'm sorry, but there it is. And you both must be quite aware...why else would you spend so many hours spamming and ranting?

I can't decide whether I should humor you or shun you. I know for a fact that people like you do go away if they are ignored. But if this is all you've got...do I have an obligation to continue acknowledging you?

What if my written responses and ratings to your absurd top posts is all you have to convince yourselves that you actually matter? If I ignore you, do I send you off to a warm tub and straight razor?

Am I enabling you, or am I saving your life? If ignored, will you finally seek help, and find some purpose in your meat life, or is this actually all you have left?

I believe that given my particular medical problems, I'm in a unique position to address this. Stringing two sentences together is becoming more and more difficult for me...one funny little turn...movements of my own or of others around me...and my equilibrium is shot...for hours or even days. When I'm in such episodes, even remember the names of common items becomes difficult. And these episodes are occuring with greater frequency.

When this happens, I try not to post. And as my friends will attest, I rarely risk emailing.

Now if I can figure out that my posts are gonna be crap, why can't you? And if I can find something else to pass my time with, why can't you?

Can it be that the BOF has become your last refuge? Please try to find something else. Even if it's Googling Images...or watching the TV. Don't let our last impression of you be that you were an ass.

(irony?)

Typical fare for what passes as "Best Of" these days:Posters are leaving daily tired of the small, group of bullies there.

If commentary about flames bothers you....
by NickD

then I don't really know what else to say.

This top post was a friendly invitation to the editor and anyone else in the fray who would choose to engage in a little polite fun with each other. The invitation still stands.

It appears that you are familiar with the caption contest. So join in if you so choose, if you choose not to join then that is also fine, no one will think more or less either way.

You conveniently ignored your flames to that poster Gatewood with your derogatory attacks on gays in that post you made. And no thanks. Like others familiar with the general tone on that fray, I'll pass on your offer.

That is LaurieAnnM with another fake nic. The grammar is one tip off, and the catnapping repost is another.

I think you are correct.

The irony of a poser using a fake nic to flame and accuse someone of posing.
Re: If commentary about flames bothers you....

No more ironic than LaurieAnnM opening up another fake nic to defend one of her other fake nics.
Look Mr Smithee
by LaurieAnnM

First of all I am aware what Mr Smithee stands for. I live in L.A. County and my husband works in The Industry.

The nic you are currently posing in is the name used on scripts for material so lame no genuine writer wants to get attribution for it.You are a pose and you have flamed me before.

So God only knows who you are poser..but one thing I do know is you pop up to flame me at all sorts of unusual times. And dumb blond and NickD have been flaming me for years now.

That's what I know.

Also, I have to say Nick's calling Gatewood and closet fag and all sorts of other constant attacks on him because he writes well in opposition to your own political views is an awful thing to constantly see happen to him here.

Additionally, the general use of an alter nic for posting within the rules of road or to post topically or make a point is not an actionable offense.

But your need to endlessly flame is, I am pretty sure.

So please leave me alone.

Re: Look Mr Smithee
by Alan Smithee

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the top poster.

You addressed me using a fake nic, so I responded to your fake nic.

Now you are addressing me using your regular nic, asking me to leave you and your fake nics alone.

Here is a quarter, go buy a clue.


Re: Look Mr Smithee
by LaurieAnnM

I'm glad you replied like that. It shows your tendancy to harass so well.

Again leave me alone.

Re: Look Mr Smithee
by LaurieAnnM

And I need no more clue than your MBTU...it's short and full of nothing but fraycentric flames:

I recall the pipecleaner thread. Another case of you stalking catnap.

Look at that +14. That was a fun thread except for your presence and unfounded plagiarism accusation.

Do you need another quarter clueless one?

Re: Look Mr Smithee
by LaurieAnnM

Oh brother.

We have been making some good efforts at trying to bring some peace to BOTF. Would it kill you to stop this right now?
Stop. Grow up.Defending those who flame people for being closet queers and that sort of thing isn't really cool.

Focus on the positive and look at what you can contribute rather than scheming ways to harass malign and attack posters.
