I'm particularly fond of this line:

If I seem that way, it's only because so many seem to be absorbed with me....

But, listen. You're not the people I will be talking to in the next few weeks. I should save my discussion for them. Translation: "I'm going to stop posting like a computer nerd on crack and try to put on the guise that I have a little bit of sanity."

So you are one of the mentals that is ill?

do you think, looking back, he munged up the LAT/WP lawsuit as well?

Let's see: an ultraultraultra liberal jurist, appointed by the guy this forum helped get impeached, ruling on a case where one of the "journalists" whose work was "infringed" had written several sycophantic articles about getting that very jurist appointed to the federal bench.

A completely level playing field, IMHO. ;-)

Eureka! Your problem is clear to me now. You simply don't comprehend the difference between free and cheap.

LOL.

You know as well as I do that in almost every case, FR's detractors are the result of simple personality clashes. When a site attracts the number of posters this one does, there's always going to be a lunatic fringe. Folks with delusions of grandeur, paranoia, idiocy, and just plain psychos. Eventually, their madness becomes apparent, people complain, and they get banned. Being the outcasts they are, they can never admit that it was their anti-social behavior that earned them the punishment, nor that they have no inherent right to be where they're not wanted.

Actually, to borrow another line from Dr Murray Bank's old "WHAT TO DO UNTIL THE PSYCHIATRIST COMES," I believe such folk are basically saying:

WATCH ME, MOMMY, WATCH ME!
WATCH ME, MOMMY, WATCH ME!

And when their addiction to manipulated attention is perceived by them to sag, they get more shrill and obnoxious . . . actually reminding me of Shrillfanny and Billdoe.

Maybe we could begin a refrain of merely replying:

WATCH ME, MOMMY, WATCH ME!

whenever they rear their ugly finger work.

Nothing's worse than a spurned suck-up, except for a spurned suck-up who can't spell.

Oh, my sides!

In my best Gomer Pyle voice: 'Well, I'll be....'

I should've guessed. I've found many of your postings (under your former handle) - particularly your dissertation on 'Tulip' - to be quite a blessing.
I just joined the OPC around 2 1/2 years ago, and have found the church to be one of the few outposts of sanity here in Sodom & Gomorrah West.

Your's in Christ,

***Ummmm, Arator, remember all those vanities you posted? And what about the marine guy on every thread dragging people to vote in your poll? ***

LOL. Sure I do, but my vanities were never about me, they were about saving the country, entertaining my fellow FReepers, and provoking debate! And that poll wasn't about me, it was about the candidates and revealing in a compelling way the wide spectrum of conservative political opinion on FR.

I am but a humble servant, eager to serve. I am not the issue. Whether you like me or hate me is not the issue. The issues were and are the issue! Focus people!

LOL. Hi, Irma! This thread is really starting to feel like old times. How's Dan Quayle doing these days? (Remember, he whipped Bush in that FReeper Poll!)

Given what you know about your ex-pro bono lawyer, via the Buckley Bomb, and how he talked you into the failed Eschoir lawsuit that has, so far, cost FR $105,000,000, do you think, looking back, he munged up the LAT/WP lawsuit as well?

It appears that Jim has good cause and/or grounds on which to sue his ex-lawyer, along with those who acted in concert with him.

Never about you? Like the "Has Jimrob Lost His Mind?" vanity you posted because you had a hissy fit about a yanked thread?

Oh, my sides!

Harry, do know where the News of the Weird link HH put up has gone. It's the one you bitched about when he reorganized things a couple of weeks ago. I need some info off of there. Thanks in advance.
