You're serious, right?

You're a poser, right? Then I'm as serious as I ever bother to be with those who live on pretense.

As I've said, you really need to get past your self-importance pose here and just let it go. Really.

George W. Bush Isn't just 'my type of conservative' but the only 'type' of conservative that can win a national election and enact at least some conservative policies i.e. scrapping the ABM treaty, a tax cut, military build-up (planned before 9/11), attempts at Social Security reform, etc.

No, he isn't Buchanan or some other '100% conservative' that we might fantasize about but he's a conservative that can make a change. Third party ultra-conservatives don't get elected and all their bluster and promises to change government mean nothing without an office.

Whine about Bush all you want but you're dreaming if you think the voting public actually wants or would elect some hard-core, red meat conservative and that the libs, Dems and the media would not rip such a candidate to shreads. Bush is attacked daily and he's nowhere near the conservative you long for in the White House.

Get real.

In these delusional attempts of yours to intimidate and scare strangers over the internet by fat-fingering insults onto your keyboard, has anybody ever backed down, trembling in awe of your prowess? And to imagine, typing with one hand like that!

Simply amazing.

How did I intimidate or scare you, little fellow? Please enlighten the masses.

I tagged you as the poser you are as well as being rather full of yourself. That 'scares' you? Really? Amazing. How old are you? Sorry to disillusion you kid but you're not the smartest person in the room. Deal with that fact, won't you, please? Oh, and you seem to be the only person on this forum in the past 27 months who has ever even spoken of being 'intimidated' by me. Gee, think it could just be your own paranoia working here? Hmmmmm.

As I keep telling you; if you can't take criticism, don't dish it out or initiate insult-fests with those who hold opposing views. I posted reasonable comments that countered you views and I received sneering brush-off's from you in reply. A private message in the same civil vein netted accusations of being 'creepy' coupled with demands to 'never do that again' apparently because I dared to contact you privately. That's arrogance on stilts but to be expected from those with an inflated sense of self-importance, I suppose.

You get what you earn, Vonnegut-lover. If receiving written opposition to your snide internet comments 'scares' or 'intimidates' you, then you need to grow up and lose the mistaken idea that you're immune from counter-insults and opposition.

You are not special. You are simply another guy behind a monitor using a fake name and typing out stuff on a screen. Once again, get over yourself and knock off the pose of assumed but undeserved superiority and the failed attempt to place all opposition as beneath your consideration. Where do you smug types get that from, anyway? You may impress your parents or your friends but you're nobody from nowhere here and if you can't deal with criticism and counter-insults, then knock it off, otherwise, your effete attitude will only render you even more ridiculous than you already are with the constant mentions of how words - words - our coin of the realm here -'scare' and 'intimate' you. Please.

You're certainly not amazing, just pathetic.

"...because I dared to contact you privately."

Yes, "contact," your euphemism for bothering people in a really creepy (as in obsessive and annoyingly persistent) manner. That you think anybody would give enough of a crap to be frightened or intimidated, or even insulted, is weird... truly truly weird.

Then stop using those silly words and bringing them up over and over again. You don't care but you can't stop posting about it? Now, that's weird. Get your story straight, poser or go away.

LOL! No. I'm picturing you having stayed drooling and muttering over your keyboard all night waiting for this response. I'm just obliging out of kindness.

Don't blame me if you can't let it go. I'm fine, thanks but we're really done here. Really.
