    I love your internet tough guy persona. How long have you been working on it? It's nearly perfect.

    I'm just curious how you consider saying you don't "give a hoot" to be a tough guy persona. That's a phrase my grandma uses. :lol:


    You have one tough grandma!

    Actually it was probably not the right wording...and he missed my point anyhow, which I should expect.

    Not my argument, I just thought it was funny that you say that it was "not the right wording" and then grumble about Byrnzie "missing your point".... when you admit it was the wrong words for the message you were trying to send. Words should be used to (gasp) CONVEY meaning, unless you expect the readers to have some sort of telepathical powers. That's all...

    You're right. ;)

    Though after all the name calling Byrnzie did recently, I'm betting he he won't have anything to say for a while.

    After reading through the past few pages I think he's been accurate on pretty much everything...

    Huh?

    Dude called someone a cock in another thread, that's what I was referring to when I said he probably won't have anything to say for a while. And after he got on my for "Smarmy, personal attacks"....go figure.

    I expected him to know it was a lighthearted comment and he didn't have to get all pissed off. I meant his "I don't give a shit about anyone else's opinions" attitude...which could mean tough guy in a sense...which is why I used it, but maybe I could have been more clear.

    I'm just tired of his smarmy, personal attacks against me.

    this is the problem with the whole left/right conservative/liberal bullshit. its nothing more than a collection of arbitrary beliefs designed to keep the two party system going. both sides pick and choose which parts of the constitution they want to keep and which rights they decide to grant us.

    most people are too lazy to really decide what their beliefs are and accept whatever they are told to think, even if some of their stances on the issues are completely contradictory to each other.

    get rid of these stupid labels!

    couldn't have said it better. I hate when people ask me "which party do you belong to?", and I say "it changes from time to time based on the issues, it has nothing to do with being affiliated with any one specific party", they call me lazy or call bullshit on me. But some of my ideals lie with one or the other party. Some are in disagreement with both (or in Canada, with "all").

    Probably only half Canadians would even address themselves as someone on the political spectrum, since thats about how many who usually vote. :roll:
    Its usually the best of the worst, anyways.
    I hate people who think you need to "belong to a party" i think its very dangerous.
    It can be like a fan of a musician... when they can't agree that any of their songs are bad. I know a girl from school who is obsessed with the canadian conservative party. Obsessed. I

    Read it in context and with the smiley...I was joking with him. I even said I was.

    Anyhow, I also said smarmy personal attacks since he used that same phrase several times in different threads. I think he must have watched Sesame Street and it was the word of the day or something.

    Bottom line, I was joking with him the entire time and he didn't get it, despite my specific mention of it. Anyhow, he was just in a bad mood and got himself a ban I think anyhow so it doesn't matter. I should really know better than to joke with him though, so that's on me. But it tough to stop. ;)

    you know, i always wondered if the mods give out cookies when you report someones post, or do they just tell you to give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done?

    I didn't report anyone's post. I just noticed he hadn't commented for a while and then saw it somewhere else. So, I was putting 2 and 2 together. Why anyone would report someone's post is beyond me.

    so if byrnzie put a smiley at the end of his posts you wouldn't have had an issue with them?

    a smiley is like saying "with all due respect...." and acting like that entitles you to say whatever you want.

    you say you are tired of his 'smarmy personal attacks against you' but look at that post of yours, doesn't saying "I think he must have watched Sesame Street and it was the word of the day or something." a personal attack against him?

    i'm not trying to speak for byrnzie, it just seems like you like to be a smartass but you get mad if anyone is one back to you

    I wasn't getting mad at him at all...just wanted him to lighten up. I personally do like his attitude on the board despite our disagreements, just was having some fun and he took it way too seriously.

    Dude, you really don't get it either...I was still fuckin around with the "smarmy"...he used it 2 times that day to different people. And the sesame street thing is a personal attack???? Nope, just have a 2 year old and get a letter and number of the day a lot, so when someone uses something a bunch or something different a few times even, it makes me think about that. Jeez...let it go.
