THE END OF AN ERA?

[Cynical Ninja]

unless your name is Clang.

I don't flame you I merely point out facts, that's not flaming.

[sally]

So basically just the same as always.

No expressing your view is not flaming.

Having a debate is not flaming.

Pointing out someones error is not flaming.

Didn't you just tell Ramsey that she is a soup chicken with missing internal organs and a mind as creative as a bare magnolia colored wall?

If this is the new you I can't really tell any difference from the old you.

[sally]

I think that CN shows incredible stamina against a tirade of constant attacks from a large group.

I wonder what the others would do if they were singled out and daily bombarded with such targeted nasty abuse?

Just like you CN brings it all on himself. The only difference is that he does it on purpose because it's entertainment and you do it just because you're a crazy lady.

[Maggot]

I think the new CN means his pants are off.

I am talking about a gang type mentality not individual discussion. I don't actually think that anyone 'on purpose' chooses to have a large bunch of people to personally and specifically insult them on a daily basis, all at one time. Even on a mental health level, it would inevitably have a negative impact.

Maybe I am wrong, why don't you try it and tell me what it feels like?

[Maggot]

It's the middle of Summer where you are, C'mon........get happy. A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin',
we'll make you happy
We'll make you happy,
we'll make you happy

[aussiefriend]

it's going to be 37C/99F degrees here today, we are going to the beach, so I hardly think that Partridge Family theme songs are appropriate, but you go on ahead.

I'm curious too, CN.

You could probably argue successfully to some that ramsey is a soup chicken. Maybe have a worthwhile debate over whether Clang is a lazy worthless guy. I can see those things being subject to opinion, based on some of their posts' contents.

But, I can't see it as anything more than a flame to suggest that Maggot's not wise and creative - that one is not really subjective to me. Yet, you've got him dying as a drooling dolt on your desert island.

He got those fireworks past you, under your nose and they'll probably get him rescued as he stands atop that dictionary that makes him more visible to the private plane flying overhead (and includes more pages than most books, should he need extra burnables for fire).

Your flame in the Desert Island Discs thread this morning therefore makes me the winner of the OP bet, IMO. Meaning, I get to keep the stuff I stole and my chest remains clean. Woo hoo. Unless, you want to debate the matter diplomatically, that is...

So when CN comes here and in a matter of minutes calls Ramsey a mong, Clang a worthless cunt, Crash a melon head, FU a gun nut, Maggot a retard, FQ2 an ugly cunt and Donovan a douchebag he's not looking to fight with anyone?

We all originally came here for the same purpose knowing that no one is going to be nice. Well besides for you and Ramsey, I don't know what the hell you came for.

[Duchess]

I don't know what the hell you came for.

Murder.

[Duchess]

Jesus.

Only in Mock do I find that to be a laughing matter.

[Cynical Ninja]

Past me? Under my nose? At what point did I say I was ruler/head of the security of the island?

Oh yeah! Never! Maggotyboo wanting unlimited fireworks was retarded on two levels.

One - maggotyboo would NEVER get bored of fireworks....ever. My daughter is 12 and she is already bored by fireworks. Whizz! Bang! Pop!...yawn.

Two - when it was pointed out how retarded fireworks were as a luxury item? “I could use them to signal planes and ships to get off the island!”. Siren sounds! Whoop whoop whoop! Practical use! Against the rules! You aren't being clever because this is not a test! Its a tool to find out more about you and its worked 100%! I thought maggotyboo might be a moron and he's confirmed it for me.

Dick has a successor! He's perhaps got more moxy but he's just as stupid and his name is maggotyboo!

It's got to be frustrating for poor Loosey Loo. All those years studying psychology and mental health and still not getting it and along comes Sally the beer hound and nails it in a few simple lines..

And I stick by these basic facts.

No flame necessary if they didn't fulfill the prophecy every single day I wouldn't point it out believe you me.

Like Russell Crowe in Gladiator I honestly ask you “are you not entertained?”

When someone gets deeply personal and offensive and I do the same in reply I'm the bad guy? Really? I'm most often on my own against the snakepit and you think I'm the bad guy not the snakepit? The fact I say to Donovan “you penniless twat!” And he goes “I sniffed your dads ashes!” I mean its water off a ducks back, words on a screen, its meaningless but I'm the bad guy! Really?

Fair enough. The fact people consider me the bad guy could almost be a badge of honour I guess. My input is considered more offensive than an entire groups? Ok!

[crash]

Haha...that's the biggest pile of self-promoting twaddle you've ever written. The only reason it usually looks like 'you against the (so called) snake pit' is because you go around poking at the snakes with a stick first.

[HairOfTheDog]

Past me? Under my nose? At what point did I say I was ruler/head of the security of the island?

The point at which you prohibited me from the luxury of a solar powered string of lights for illumination because they could also be used to configure a distress message.

Oh yeah! Never! Maggotyboo wanting unlimited fireworks was retarded on two levels.

I like them, too. Good thing you and your brilliant family are across the pond - it's never awkward not inviting you to the fireworks party here. Surely, you'd all be busy fiddling with your Rubic's cubes and/or debating the merits of Pythagoras's theorem.

Two - when it was pointed out how retarded fireworks were as a luxury item? “I could use them to signal planes and ships to get off the island!”. Siren sounds! Whoop whoop whoop! Practical use! Against the rules! You aren't being clever because this is not a test! Its a tool to find out more about you and its worked 100%! I thought maggotyboo might be a moron and he's confirmed it for me.

Yeah, betting most of us figured the fireworks were chosen because they were a luxury item with a practical purpose, without having to explicitly be told as much. You missed the obvious - no big deal.

The luxury item having to be void of any practical application whatsoever doesn't make much sense. Almost every item has a purpose, purpose comes with practicality. Your "heroin", for example, had a very practical application - as you clearly described. There was therefore no real violation of the rules (which don't exist...wait, yes they do...wait, no they don't...). In your capacity as the head of security, you tossed out a new clarification of the "none" stipulation AFTER Maggot and others had already made it on the island.

The purpose of your scenario wasn't stated in your OP. For me, it was a personal thinking "test" or exercise in relation to how to get the most pleasure as possible while focusing on survival/rescue. The fireworks were probably the best item of any mentioned in the thread towards that end.

If you instead wanted all of us to contemplate your desert island scenario according to some defined goal to suit your expectations, you should have made it clear. You didn't, so there were no wrong or stupid answers - there's nothing you can say that changes that fact. It looks stupid to continue trying, IMO.

Dick has a successor! He's perhaps got more moxy but he's just as stupid and his name is maggotyboo!

Yeah, I wonder how many people here, faced with being trapped on a desert island with another person here, would choose you over Maggot or Dick for smart survival. (Maybe one, that I can think of.)

[Midwest Spy]

I'm pretty sure neither Dick nor Maggot would want to be on the deserted island with ME, however.

They're doing all the work and I'm banging all the natives.

I think you'll feel a lot better after Aussie changes your diaper and gives you some warm milk.

facts which you mostly make up/twist and/or pull out of your ass.

[HairOfTheDog]

The only reason it usually looks like 'you against the (so called) snake pit' is because you go around poking at the snakes with a stick first.

I get a kick out of the perpetually proactive pokers who deem themselves so very misunderstood.

Luckily, you tossing out common sense in an easily-understood analogy isn't likely to quash that kick.

That self-imposed victim mentality is almost impenetrable, from what I've seen.
