Fraywatch

That was fast.

You can't even spell your own name in your own posts. You reply within moments so apparently you can't wait to see what I have to say. I never realized I was that important to you.

Yes I replied to a top post on Fraywatch. I reply to a lot of top posts on Fraywatch and on BOTF.

I said link to where I am following you board to board, because Fraywatch and BOTF are regular boards for me they have been for years, posting here is not stalking or following you around.

I am reasonably certain that the editors have seen our exchange. You are a baiter I am not a stalker and have nothing to be ashamed of.

So whine away or write a decent top post and prove your 1/4th as good as you claim. You have yet to do so since your return.

Pssst . . . these ARE

Gatewood posts that you are opening. You entered this top post and then left thread after thread reply attack as a stalker does and you opened the previous top post and did the same thing. You frequently do the same thing in my BOTF threads. You have followed my around to other boards as well from time to time and have done the same thing there.

I understand that you have this compulsive Gatewood fixation going on here, but you are making a quite regular and very public spectacle out of yourself.

Please link to the stalking

To my recollection I have only replied to you here and on BOTF. I have been a regular poster on both of these boards, Fraywatch even longer than BOTF so my presence here and replies to posts here could not be constued by any reasonable person to be stalking or following you around. But then again there are no reasonable people making that claim. Sorry but it seems everything has to be spelled out for you.

I ask the editor now to verify who is telling the truth.

I also have never replied to a Garewood post in my life. I have never even opened a Garewood Post in my life. For someone who is supposed to be even 1/4th as great as you want to pretend to be it is not without a bit of irony to note that you cannot even write your own name correctly.

I am sure other posters who are regulars to this site are fully aware that very little of my posting time has anything to do with you. You are the only person in fact who thinks you are so flipping important to this place. Fray would do just as well without either one of us and the sooner you sober up to the hard reality that you are no more important than any other poster here, the sooner you will realize that I am trying to tell you the truth.

If you think otherwise ask him in a top post. Ask the other posters on BOTF in a top post if they think you are so much better than everyone else.

The funny thing is that you

Gatewood — Tue, 26 May 2009 18:25:30 GMT

are in the midst of ankle-biting while claiming that neither you nor these other straying BOTF posters -- following me around from board to board merely to take your uncalled for pot shots at me -- are actually ankle-biting at all.

People note that I do not follow YOU from board to board and spend all my time taking drive by pot shots at you. It's only flowing one way this unabashed hatred . . . from thee to me.

You do not like the way I post? Gosh! What an amazing thing! Well, sunshine, if you so loathe the presence of bright and intelligent posting that DOES NOT reinforce your particular subsets of cherished prejudices, and it really bothers you that much, then -- Gasp! -- be kind to yourself and stop opening Garewood top posts.

It's not rocket science you know. Since I don't intend to leave on your say so, nor on the say so of your fellow ankle-biters, your only viable option -- aside from continuing these uncalled for drive-by attacks of yours against me -- is to STOP opening my top-posts. Ignorance is supposed to be bliss. So go thee forth and revel in bliss.

Enjoy.

Yes a permenant record for you as well.

Do you think you are the only poster who frequently reads what is on this board?

Once again you are trying to play victim while achieving the exact responses you have hoped to receive. It is truely amazing of your adamant refusal to accept the fact that others have seen through your childishness a easily and rapidly as they have. No one here is spitting on you or biting your ankles as you like to say, thinking you are cleverly elevating yourself, we are simply pointing out your ridiculous behaviour to you.

Now, go top post a real top post that does not simply whine about your being a victim, brag about who you think you are, or flame bait others into sarcastic replies. Write something on a subject worthy of coherent response and then we'll see if yourself pittying claims are true. So far there is nothing to look at to judge otherwise.

Isn't it curious that

Gatewood — Thu, 21 May 2009 23:19:25 GMT

I tell people openly that I'm neither a republican nor a democrat, conservative nor liberal and you call me a phony. You track me down to launch that personal attack against me, as a matter of fact. I can prove that I use only one posting nic for however long I post for an extensive amount of time and yet you not only claim that I don't but you work very hard to spread the rumor that I simultaneously post under many nics.

A canard that the Fray editor could refute in a hearbeat simply by taking a look see. Hasn't it occurred to you that Kevin Arnovitz and Geoff Anderson were not precisely sympatico with me and yet neither ever flushed my posts or banned me. Were they intimidated by me? Hardly. Neither hesitated to flush or ban trouble makers. The fact is that based on hysterical assertions by FORMERLY reputable posters like you they each investigated and came to the startling conclusion that I was not guilty. Amazing, eh? Do you honestly BELIEVE that you know something about me as a poster that neither of them were blind to?

Were you not a hopeless fanatic on these points you would begin to question yourself at this point. Oh . . . and ditto with page pushing and other charges you have leveled against me in your jealousy or outright hatred.

I suspect that what it all boils down to is that you have never vaguely approached my writing skills or fame or [depending on the prejudicial source] infamy on these fray boards that I achieve with casual ease and you are just raw, blind, soul gnawing jealous.

Well, whatever twisted motivations rule you BFD, the fact remains that you are still making yourself look very bad in these exchanges. All my replies to your uncalled for public attacks have been calm and civilized in nature. So, tell me, what will it take for you to work the bile of uncalled for and unreasoning hatred out of your system? Seriously, do you intend to run these threads out indefinitely? Wouldn't you rather go see a psychiatrist?

What do I think? I think you're a phony and don't like

Stalking me and attacking me

Gatewood — Thu, 21 May 2009 21:59:12 GMT

is not representational of good Fray citizenship BFD and you should probably cease doing this, don't you think?

I frequently tell obnoxious posters that degenerate into stalking me and attacking me for the nature of my politics or ideology -- as you are doing -- that I am neither a conservative nor a liberal. Just like you are won't to do, however, they discount this and shriek to the heavens that I am a dirty filthy [fill in the blank] simply because I have argued for a particular position for a while. I think these people are quite limited in intelligence or at least in perception. What do you think?

Anyway in a act of self-deprecation I wrote the above segment that you just quoted as a bit of a humorous opening to a relatively serious thread because that particular individual and I had argued the notion of ideological identity back and forth in a previous thread. Now, considering that you are a stalker BFD . . . as amply demonstrated in this thread and the top post immediately above this one . . . you should have been able to pick up on both the reality and the humor there. Perhaps you are even more limited in intellect than I had recently begun to suspect. If so, then you have my sympathy.

In any event, as I generally point out to you in these courteous replies of mine, you are making yourself look rather bad in the eyes of any interested party opening up these replies for a look see. You should probably consider taking up a different posting hobby.

"I am not a republican,but I play one while posting."

BFD — Thu, 21 May 2009 19:02:25 GMT

"Be aware that even if YOU do not take posting seriously many of the regulars that routinely post do take it seriously and you do not have the right to toy with them. Treat them with respect . . . even the ones that you do not like."?

Pssst . . . it's called an

Gatewood — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:05:19 GMT

example of sarcasm Thomas Paine; not to be taken literally.

Seriously, some of you either need to get a humor infusion or attend a night school adult reading comprehension class. That would be worth the investment in time and money in my estimation. This sour bit of jealously and outrage evinced by you BOTF regulars over my return to posting is touching and heartwarming as a welcome but it does make most of you look like obsessive compulsive putzes as you trail over from BOTF just to piddle all over my top post.

You people DO realize that you are leaving a permanent record of your posting activities behind whenever you do this, right? Any neutral outside reader can open these and see how certain of you have made it your mission in life to follow me around just to spit on me. It really does not make any of you look like good Fray citizens.

WTF

Thomas Paine — Tue, 19 May 2009 17:06:04 GMT

...one as famous and decorated and honored such as myself....

Jezuz H, you are full of yourself! I guess I missed out on what you may have done in the distant past to earn that star of which you are so proud, but you sure as all Hell have not done anything here in the past couple of years to earn any honors.

Whatever...

As I wrote, keep your revolting

Gatewood — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:54:52 GMT

fantasies about me to yourself. I understand that you currently worship the monitor screen that I post on but please stop slobbering all over me.

You wrote the the words of your posts.

NickD — Sat, 16 May 2009 21:40:41 GMT

I didn't.

It is good that you finally see the light about the fact that it is the editor that calls the shots and not you.

Please show your decorations and honors please. I think most posters would find them interesting...

Like Andrew Jackson, I could care less if you called me a Jackass. As Stevenson once said the "circus elephant always grasps the tail of his predecessor". or something similar to that effect. In otherwords "you must be lead by the nose".

Bwahahahaha!

Gatewood — Sat, 16 May 2009 20:59:40 GMT

You jackass, if a mere regular poster [even one as famous and decorated and honored such as myself] can bully and or intimidate an editor then he or she is not much of an editor and certainly not worth keeping. In addition to that, moron, the editor is the one with the flush and ban powers not the regular poster. Can you wrap your little brain around that fact or have I again gone much too fast for your rate of comprehension?

Bully and intimidate the editor? Bwahahahahaha!

I'm not sure what world you live in NickD but it's certainly not the real world. I wish you the joy of fondling your own private fantasies though. Just keep me out of the disgusting things in the future.
