RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Fortress of Awesome Chat I didn't realize rex was such a beloved figure....

It pains me to do so, but I'll play Southern Baptist's advocate and say that, unless she didn't preserve the anonymity of the students she mentioned, it's a tad unfair to condemn her character based on that.

I think people are putting too much emphasis on the fact that Snarf is pathetic for making posts about his personal failures in regard to girlfriends.

I personally dislike him because he's a fucking idiot. I could care less about his irrelevancies in the Random Chat/Women/Media/Comics forums. It's the way he tries to engage people in the politics forum that shows how stupid he is.

Every post he makes consists of strolling into a topic and attempting to play the part of a satirist, trying to give people a terse history lesson with a radical spin as if what he says is somehow profound or above the intellect of posters who've already commented on the very issue he mentions. He is a posting dichotomy; in just about every forum, he's a pathetic self-deprecating moron, but in the the Politics/RDCW forums, he's absolutely full of himself.

The worst part is that this has been going on forever. How many years has he been posting here and he's STILL acting like a fucking noob. Everyone who's been here long enough has gone through the verses of change to some extent, but it's been YEARS and he's still the same idiot.

the last 8 or so pages of this thread get 5 stars

"Rob Kamphaausen tough love"

I only have 7 pages to this thread...did Snarf forget to count them?

You deny the evidence because you're an asshole. Even as you kiss up to Prometheus and lust after his man-cock on a regular basis.

That I called the Doctor a hypocritical fag, who's totally gay for Prometheus, and verbally tries to win Prometheus' approval every time the two post in the same topic?

While Doctor has his little clique with Prometheus, and never deviates from it. If Pro attacks, the Doctor attacks. And the Doctor manufactores the self-righteous pretense for the attack at a later time. But we all know it boils down to the Doctor's obsession with trying to impress Prometheus.

Snarf's alleged gayness is as nothing, compared to the homo-erotic tension between the Doctor and Prometheus. The Doctor follows Pro around like a puppy on a leash.

That is absolutely nothing, compared to The Doctor's gay love for Prometheus, and desperate search on a daily basis for Pro's approval, in topic after topic.

Yeah, no insult on my part intended toward Prometheus.

the forum is based on rolling with the punches. if you question or fight the punches, it doesn't work. if you then throw your own punches, without rolling with others, you've become hypocritical. we've seen many come and go that were unable to handle it - it's not an easy methodology, but it is a simple one.

taking it (too) seriously is bad. if you can't have fun with it, then why bother doing it?

i have given pro shit, g-man shit, joe mama ect ect, they dont give a fuck.

But conversely, absolutely no boundaries are respected regarding G-man's personal life

my Phillipine girlfriend.

also nobody complained when we ran Black Machismo off the boards forever.

Pariah's comment that I quoted, where he said declaring "nice" people off limits for harsh criticism to be comaprable to Political Correctness (i.e., appointing people status and position they didn't earn) actually changed my POV on the issue, as did comments by Nowhereman, Iggy and a few others.

Pro, I think I was clear that my jabs were aimed at the Doctor, not you. And while I cross paths with you two about as often as I cross paths with Snarf, that's my impression, that you post, and then the Doctor chimes in once he sees you posted there, and agrees with you. That may not be as true in the OFF TOPIC or RANDOM CHAT and other sections that you both post in, or in real life off the boards. And I only read a fraction of the stuff you've posted outside the POLITICS forum, but that's my consistent impression.

The Doctor annoys me because I've never confronted him about anything, and once a year or so, he just comes out of the sidelines, usually when I'm going at it with someone else (i.e., in a cowardly way, as part of a bandwagon), and gets all high-and-mighty self-righteous about how I voilated the rules of debate on RKMB, and (with nothing to back it up) I'm somehow beneath his notice. When in actuality, the infantile way he snipes at me and then puts me on *ignore* (or so he alleges, while still seeming to know every detail of what I post, so he can surface and snipe at me periodically), his level of self-righteousness in these exchanges should have you laughing at his idiocy (i.e., ).
Joe Mama, in contrast, is tauntingly me regularly with the closet gay issue, and despite my protests, about 50% of the time, I'm amused by it. Because that IS playful humor that isn't to be taken seriously. Sometimes I have to laugh at comments by Joe Mama, BSAMS and Nowhereman, even when the one-liners are at my expense.
I'd rate my interaction with you to be about equal to my interaction with Snarf (not that you are alike in any other way!) in that I see you rarely on the boards, sometimes we've clashed, and often we've been friendly.

Regarding picking on people (or the perception of it) if you've read my comments through several pages, you can see a shift in my views here, that while I do at times I think one person is overly targeted (in this case, Snarf) it evens out in the long run, that in the final analysis I don't think anyone here is immune or "too cool" to be picked on.
I said that even those who are defended (as Rex has been in this topic) are targeted weeks or months later for the same treatement.
I recall everyone defended M E M (myself included, as I mentioned in an earlier post) when G-man attacked him by name with his Kabul Zick alt-I.D., but if you look at recent exchanges, M E M's been getting the same treatment that Snarf is currently getting. In the short term, it can be unfair. In the long term, I think it evens out.

Likewise, your post has influenced my POV on you and the Doctor. I freely acknowledge that I haven't read all the topics you have both posted to (although i have read a considerable number of them). I still think the Doctor is a petty schmuck whose posts directed at me are hypocritical of his own posting/debating tactics, but whatever.

Regarding your suggestion that I "leave and take a one-month break from the boards" because I'm presumed to be too torqued up, my offline life is actually going quite well right now, workwise, earnings-wise and girlwise, so there's no issues that I'm venting in my posts with anyone here. You're off base on that one. There was a rough patch for me in July-August of last year, as I discussed with a few here months ago privately, and if you noticed I wasn't around much during that time. But things have turned around remarkably for me since then. Even at that time, I wasn't taking it out on anyone. That isn't how I deal with things.
