you don't know about the socks?
Yeah...ugh.
I don't even want to go there though.
BTW, Grimm, I'm surprised that you're supporting rex. I mean you did insinuate he was wrong for chasing Beardguy off. And you also posted about how rex was probably as much a pedophile as Beardguy was.
I respected that. I really did. It takes a lot to stand up to a bully; to choose your own path and not follow the crowd.
What happened? Surely you don't agree that rex is right to chase people off he doesn't like or agree with? And I know that as an attorney (you are an attorney, aren't you?) you really couldn't get behind people who would post such vulgar things about a newborn baby girl, could you?
There's no reason for you to be involved in this sordid affair. Ironic, I know considering the general attitude towards attorneys, but still. Why not sit this one out? Let rex, BSAMs, Joe Mama, Uschi, Sammitch and some of the others take some heat for awhile.
If I were you, I'd actually enjoy watching them get their comeuppance (calm down rex, it's not that kind of cum and it's not going "uppance" you).
Think about it.
you still think we support rex?
I really don't see any change in behavior. What am I missing?in all honesty, quite a fair bit. I'm not being snide here. many of you came in with "they're teh EVIL REPUBLICANS" mindset and really have not taken note that there is a mixture of people in this place in addition to the extremists on both ends of the politard forum. rex's EPIC failures have been numerous and many. (hell, I personally have a little info that I could use to embarrass rex further, but I haven't because someone asked me not to make a thing out of it.) I believe what you're seeing and interpreting as support of rex has been due to the credit he's received for you being here.
you guys coming like you have, has freshened up the boards and livened the place up. it's brought a new "game" to play for most of the people here, if you will. as Pro's said many times, it's all in fun. we're not like other message boards.
also, I've known Pro in real life for about ten years now. he might be many things, but he's always honest.
ok, since you're actually making efforts at dialogue and understanding, I'll accommodate you here.
Thanks. It is appreciated.
you're welcome.
as far as the beardguy thing, yeah, it was a little too harsh for my liking. my philosphy has always been, if it bothers you or you don't like it, then ignore it. however, on the flip side, there were a large number of posters who were turned off by his presence/posting. ultimately, he just didn't fit here. it's not the way I would've handled it, but there you go.
I understand and respect that, but sometimes turning the other cheek isn't the appropriate response. That's exactly how 6,000,000 of my people were slaughtered under Nazism. Now I'm not comparing what happened here to the Holocaust, but IMHO some things demand being addressed and this was one of them.
you're not comparing this to the Holocaust, but yet that's the first thing that you mention? I always find that argument a bit disingenous, no offense. there's a vast difference between one country attempting to fend of a dictatorship by throwing them onto several smaller countries (as well as the near destruction of a particular people, not to mention the other things affected by the war) and a dispute on the intarweb.
all things considered, I do think it's probably better for him not to be here. he's way too fragile for a place like this.
Also, how can you guys be "turned off by his presence/posting"? Doesn't that go against the very philosophy of this board? I mean, ultimately, who here, on a board with no rules, determines what is and isn't acceptable? Why should it be rex?
as I said, I never grasped that either. you would have to ask the people that were actually bothered by him.
as far as the "whomod's daughter" and "LLance's grandchild" and other such alts, I truly don't take them seriously. let's look at "whomod's daughter" for a second. it's rex. knowing what you do about the shit life he has how can you possibly take that seriously? he's never gonne reproduce or even get a chance to unload in a woman who isn't made of wool. so how can you really get worked up over that knowing the small mind (and penis!) behind it? you know it's not really "whomod's daughter" just as I know it's not really "LLance's grandchild."
I don't know why everyone here assumes that we know something about rexy's "shit life". I sure as hell don't. What is his deal? Please don't tell me I've been making fun of a physically or mentally challenged person, because the irony there would be just enormous. (Not being insulting with the physically/mentally challenged thing either. I just don't know)
perhaps we're a little too accustomed to him. you know, you're not the first person to ask whether he's afflicted or not. I don't know, but it is something I've pondered the last few years.
I understand certain people being worked up over the "family" thing. everyone has their own pet peeves. Nowhereman had a pretty big thing with somebody (don't remember who) a few years back over this very same thing. he's very overtly stated he doesn't care for his parents being made an issue of. generally, most of us do stay away from that, even when in a heated argument and mocking the hell out of and raking each other over the coals over other shit.
Okay so apparently there are some "unofficial" rules that you guys are willing to generally abide by. That's a good start. Shouldn't it extend to whomod as well then? If not, why not?
as Pro has said, everyone has a different baseline. there's not a uniformity of styles or opinions here. it's one of the things that keeps the place lively when people clash.
as far as extending to whomod, I don't know what his case is. I know the whomod penis pic has been floating around here for some time and I don't recall him taking issue with that. if he did, I've not seen it. did he ask people not to bring his family into things? how did they come to know of his daughter? and again, there are different baselines. as Nowhereman stated, some people will willingly go to those places, merely to get the type of reaction they seek. Rex is one of those people. he'll poke you with a stick to get a reaction out of you. he's as needy as Halo in that regard.
but again, there's a flip-side. "yo mama" jokes are a prevalent part of much of today's culture. to many people, it's simply a part of hanging out and goofing around. this is similar to a lot of the mentality of the Rob's Board. there is a certain "Roast" or "hazing" type mentality here. the majority of it is fun natured. we give each other shit quite a lot. most of us here have known each other either online or in real life for many years now, so we have a certain comfort level with each other. many people don't stick around long enough to realize the truth of that. you do have to have a bit of a thick skin.
I have no kids (nor do I want any, you can keep them!), but I'm aware that people who do are very protective of them. so I can where whomod and LLance's (and yours, as you have kids, iirc) opinions diverge from mine on this matter. but again, I have to say, knowing how pathetic rex's actual life is, how can you really get worked up over what he does?
In my whole life there has never been as good an experience as being a father. Seriously, the first time your newborn son or daughter clutches your finger, you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a G-d.
Again, I'm in the dark over rexy's life.
I'll take your word for it. you should check out some of Pro's Random Interviews withe regulars here. get to know people a bit. there's one on Rex, I believe. but yeah, there's not a lot that could be done to him online that could be worse than his day to day reality.
whomod, I don't know as well as some, but I have seen him overreact to many things here on many occasions (hell, I've had my share of bitchy days). I've also had one or two discussions about music with him where he's been very civil. I've got no real beef with him, although I do think he's a tad jumpy. I can understand him feeling like he was ganged up on and mistreated, but I do think he should look back at some of the examples of his own behavior and see where he brought some things on himself. I'm not referring to the "daughter" bit here.
In the last 3+ years or so, I don't think I've ever seen whomod overreact to anything. He's usually the one of the calmest Mods/Admins at the Insurgency. But, maybe it's the tenor of the boards here that bring that out in him.
it could be. I know one of the first posts I saw by him on these forums was in a thread discussing the trend towards tpbs and ogns. he jumped into what was a pretty laid back conversation and went off on a rant. maybe he was just excited, I don't know. it's from several years ago.
there's more (don't worry, Halo, I'll get round to addressing you!
) but I'm strapped for time at the moment.
Hey Grimm,
Thanks for a civil post.
