Now, there's something wrong with this picture. See if you can tell me what it is.....

Re: How about no

well, ok. you reap what you sow. Good luck with that.

If you drive a car into my house, your tears filled with impotent internet rage, I will be upset

[kadeshaderow.livejournal.com]

Then I'll laugh at you.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

I wonder how come whenever there's some quarrel around, its always you on the one of the sides involved. Care to explain?

The fact that this time it involved dwer is not surprising at all though, but this doesnt make my point moot.

[kadeshaderow.livejournal.com]

It's my specialty.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

Yup, noticed that.

My card

I specialize in bringing an end to pedantic lines of argument by annoying the other person until they flip their keyboard and stop posting.

Examples:

The already mentioned dwer
mcpreacher, except for this, which I hope you can agree was just plain mean (http://community.livejournal.com/talk_politics/201052.html?thread=11934556#t11934556)

etc. etc. etc.

Surely the only way to respond to what one thinks is idiotic is: to be double more idiotic. I've seen this many times before.

Why the hell not? Maybe if the mods bit such pointless arguments in the ass before they started...

Re: My card

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

And i wasnt talking as a mod, forget that.

[ghoststrider.livejournal.com]

It's not always him. There happen to be a great many quarrels here. It's just that he's pretty adept at quarreling.

TBH, paft and dwer seem to be the ones in the center of most "quarrels." And you know what? They deserve all the shit that comes at them.

[abomvubuso.livejournal.com]

I'm not going to judge who deserves what, but i couldnt help making the observation. And sure, every one of us has a certain threshold of quarrel-proneness.

[ghoststrider.livejournal.com]

He's a tad more prone to getting into verbal fisticuffs, but that's just part of his character. No harm done, really.
