I'm with you umpteen hundred percent on the Mod 1, Mod 2 type ID's. -- How can you you keep track of the game without numbers on the players?

Which is also the point on having available some simple public info on the members. Peer pressure works.

And secrecy sucks.

Not to worry; as you know I can't see anything after Leno is on which is why I didn't see this post either.

BRL seems to have lost his voice? "Isle of Mann" it is. Damn chart, wish I had a scanner.

"If I got arrested for running naked through the forum, I wouldn't neccessarily want you to know about it"

Please supply some photos of your next naked romp through the forum. We can then decide for ourselves if you should be arrested.

This all depends on how much you guys want to pocket for running it.

This all depends on how much you guys want to pocket for running it. You can always sell it.

Careful you girls [rolling on the floor laughing my arse off] don't run one another down in the parking lot.

Vamoose, Howlin busted you up front. Calvarys? Oh, our tummies.

The last time unsycophant promised to post nekkid pictures of herself, all we got were some blurry photos of A+Bert. Even the moderators (with the possible exception of you, of course) deemed it a big disappointment.

Hey sailor! Now why would you think I had already run naked through any forum?? I said "if", not when!

Besides, my pics never seem to turn out right...they always end up *overexposed (wink-wink).

IronJack already knew that I'm a woman. His remarks made me think that maybe he suffers from Venus envy.

...Venus envy.

'pon my sol, have you no marsy?

Have you been reading Daus' "3 Hours to be a Wit" or have you been copying those riotous aunties? Have you noticed the absence of BRL and Co? Where do those little fellers go when they get nervous and shy? You'd think Calvarys and A dutiful daughter would have more gumption than the maggot at least.

Alan, your response to HOWLIN' is classic proof of what the MAJORITY say about you third party folk.

Majority consensus does not equate to correctness. It may make all the "me-tooers" feel really good. But, that's all.

It is the arrogance and snide attitude (although you boys call it conviction and principle) that assures that you boys will get so many flames.

The assertiveness and tenacity I exercise when defending my positions and criticising those of others is not arrogance. The attacks directed at me personally, rather than at my positions, are the result of immaturity, insecurity, and envy.

YOU guys just can't stand the fact that people have read the THOUSANDS of words posted by your stripe, and we JUST DO NOT AGREE....WE BELIEVE that YOU are wrong.

Can't stand the fact? Like we get all red-faced and stomp our feet? Haha.

I believe you are willfully ignorant as are most people. I understand that it is human nature to avoid pain and unpleasantries which would explain your turning a blind eye in the face of mountains of evidence.

In response to: 3238

I couldn't help but notice that you addressed nothing I challenged you on in #3235.

...one thing I have noticed about you third party folk is that you love to write long, long, long, defenses...

Too bad. I know you're in a hurry to get back on over to the mutual admiration thread where everyone agrees with each other. One thing I've noticed about you incumbent party types is your evasiveness and the great lengths you will go to silence those who challenge you.

We...do not hold to the...We-Live-In-A-Police-State mentality.

Bush law chief (Ashcroft) tried to suspend habeas corpus. If that doesn't smack of police-statism I don't know what does. You tell me. Again, I ask you, do you give Bush and Ashcroft a pass because they're Republicans? Where's the outrage in the GOP? No Libertarian candidate would ever support such a thing. He would be shunned by fellow Libertarians and probably banished. Furthermore, no Libertarian would just blow it off and make excuses because he's one of our own.

...the only one in your little tent that keeps it short is OWK...

Despite OWK's briefly worded challenges to others to defend their positions he is personally attacked and ridiculed. Often accused of floating straw men with perfectly legitimate questions usually requiring a simple yes or no. He challenges others to think and to defend their positions and instead he is resented for it. A sure sign that somebody is insecure with their own beliefs is their evasion of the challenge and the subsequent lashing out at the one who posed it.

OWK: May I quote from "The Great Libertarian Racket"?...."Back in the real world, many criticize the little quiz, created by David Nolan..(who)...decided to start a political party in his living room with a few of his friends over chips and dip. Writes one critic: "This Libertarian quiz asks a set of leading questions to temp you to proclaim yourself a libertarian. The big trick is that if you answer yes to each question, you are a MACHO SELF GOVERNOR: there is an unspoken sneer to those who would answer anything else."......I KNOW the game. I know what OWK is trying to do.... WE DO NOT BUY IT, and we tire of the sneer.....we just do not agree with you...get over it.

If that ever becomes the tagline of FR it will truely be a dark day in America. I have faith that most FReepers do not share your sentiment.

Speaking of that image, what parts of the Constitution is FR defending?

"Hey Buckeroo. The answer is simple. Just stop attacking people and stop posting the four letter cuss words and you will not have so many problems. You might be surprised at how many people might like to read what you have to say (if you make it more pleasant for them to read it). Try it sometime. You might like it." -- Jim Robinson from post #637

I'll always go against the grain about popular commentary as my point of view is enhanced by concept as opposed to inuendo. And for some time now, I see folks on FR only interested in some social glee club on the internet that takes sides with Republicans and admonishes those of more capable political party affiliations.

I don't like the attacks at all. It is apparent that you do.

What a splendid definition of 'iconoclast'!

Look, ace. There are plenty of smart people on here who will ignore you because arguing about your assertions is such a waste of time. Me, not being in that particular group, feel the need to point it out.
