On the matter of my grammatical error I am afraid that I did not look to carefully at what changes I was making when my spell checker caught a typo. I would, or course, have given you a sounder thrashing if you had said anything even remotely intellectual. However all you have proven yourself to be is rude and boorish.   Your need to insult random people for know reason would seem to be the result of deeper mental issues. Possibly you fear that you are inferior. Because of this I take comfort in the fact that no remark you make could possibly cause me any harm (Why would I care about what some philistine says online?) and my remarks have the potential to hurt you quite deeply. It would seem to me that you are quite doomed and it would be better for you to cut your losses and withdraw. I also suggest therapy. 

Lighten up Francis.

If anyone gets harmed from a comment made on an online forum, they're a (for a lack of better words) a complete pussy.

Well there was that one movie where a guy with neon crazy hacker typing gloves went and killed people who pissed him off in chat rooms or something like that...

Maybe it was just a fond dream of mine.

Your attacks on my grammar show that my point is unassailable. I came to this forum hopping to be able to have many intelligent conversations. I see now that that is impossible. So I take my leave of this forum that is so undeserving of the title Geek. Beam me up Scotty. I'm reading no intelligent life here.

If your 'point' was that you are an idiot with a superiority complex and can't handle criticism, then yes, your point is unassailable. Take your ball and go home, but be sure to insult everybody as you leave, as that is precisely what a paragon of intellectual maturity like yourself should naturally do. "I'm just better than all of you and you are all so dumb and I'm so brilliant and I'm leaving because you're so dumb." So my original assessment of you was correct: You're nothing more than a coward who probably gets his ass beat on a regular basis and has no interest in actually defending himself.

Thanks for proving my point.

Now then, the time has come to reveal why I was such a dick to this guy. I have a rather unpopular opinion on the subject of pacifism. I see it as being rarely effective against making Bad People stop doing Bad Things to you. In this case, I was the Bad Person doing Bad Things to Mankoi. He didn't fight back, or at least didn't put very much effort into fighting back, basically calling me a big meanie then running away. Had he bothered to actually put some effort into fighting back, I would have stopped and possibly apologized. Pacifism got him nowhere. Wasn't that a fun little experiment?  :lol:

As he's hopped off already, I suppose it's too late to point out that Kirk never actually said "Beam me up, Scotty". Who's not worthy NOW, bitch?!

Tonight on It's the Mind...

You've just triggered a series of train-of-thought wrecks in my mind that will ultimately leave me sad and alone in a corner, hugging myself and repeatedly whispering, "Number 13........the larch. And now........the......larch....."

Damn you, pb.

Personally, I find pacifists a real pain in the butt.  All they ever do is complain and ask the same question all the time: "Why can't we all just get along?!"
It drives me nuts.  I simply cannot understand how anyone could think like that...  :|

about a year ago, i tried following Buddhism properly for a couple of months, not eating meat, pacifism and deep thinking (well, deep for me) being the most obvious changes in people who know me. Apartfrom many spots clearing up clearing up, it didnt seriously affect my life except to realise how much people hit out for no real reason, i have kept pacifism, and feelalot better for it.


But i do agree, there is nothing worse than a whining hippy who complains and doesnt do anything about him/herself.  :roll:

I won't smack you too hard, this post was decent. But please, try not to raise dead threads. It's not looked upon favourably here. Thanks.
