trains. Next up LAM and joycean and Goatwood. It'll be another botf before you know it.

and that is what makes it better

Don't top-post about them or post about them at all. Just step over their steamin' piles. They'll dry up and blow away.

but that is a very kind thing to say. I will not post on botf and I will not post here if the reason I left botf simply moves over here.

on your toes, Mikey. Jack's Top Post is pretty good, actually. You should try reading it. But wouldn't that mean, opening up your very closed mind? Btw, didn't you post a big Farewell here the other day? Could have sworn we saw you post a goodbye.

The solution is simple, Michael; as I posted to some of the other NOBs on here before:

just re-Quiblit yourselves. SN/t.

and that ain't happening. always going to be a couple of people who want to go post on botf as though they can without opening the door for the trolls to come right back over here with them and there's always going to be some hothead (me) who won't be able to countenace fools and will have to pop off. that's why I'm gone and why this place isn't going to work out.

/// Leaving so soon, Michael -- again? Doesn't your neck get tired from all that whipping about?

Just step over the steamin' piles. It's easy.

Ooh la la -- language, sir, language! Watch that blood pressure, Mikey. Or should I say, "Alan?"

(Glad to see you pulled that one before I had to send it to JTM).

While we're chatting so nicely 'n all, please stop emailing me. :-) Did you ever find out who that was?

SN/t

why are you posting on this board? people dislike you so thoroughly that they actually abandoned a board on which they'd posted, in some cases, seven or eight years. isn't this sufficiently striking for you to do a little introspection into why you are so poorly thought of by so many people? it isn't a conspiracy, it isn't driven by some off board cabal, it isn't driven by some locker room fraternity, it simply flows from a desire to be away from you (and lam and gatewood and jack) isn't this embarrassing? are you that insulated from the real world? you don't have enough pride in yourself to see how extraordinary this is? and then you have the audacity to actually come here and post? you are a deeply disturbed woman.

Yes, he does. Weird obsession with bodily functions over here, btw. The BOTF is actually far better behaved than this place -- until some of your fellow club members come over, stirring up the ... well, you know. Ask St.InkBerrow -- he's the primary visitor. (and offender) Cheers, SN/t.

If " BOTF is actually far better behaved than this place" then why are here? You just can't leave it be can you? You just have to try to stir shit up somewhere in the Fray don't you? I used to have some respect for you in the Fray. I can't find a reason to have any right now.

The 'audacity' Michael? You really are overwrought. It's a public board, I've been on the Frays on and off for years as have you. And I've been around long enough to recognize a Major Hypocrite when I see one, whether an individual or a group or an action.

Before you run away again, why not ask yourself some questions?

1.) Do you actually not recognize the difference between someone kidding around with someone else in cyberpsace and ... real life?

2.) Why are you still responding?

3.) Do you seriously think I care what a few puffed-up "elitist" egotists who prefer to hang out in an exclusivist anti-communitarian environmnt think? I was delighted to see most of these people leave the BOTF, it's a great relief. Exceptions: three or four of them. "No names, they (should) know who they are."

4.) Not a question, a statement: (A la History Guy in the old days...)

if you reply to me again, You lose.
