My bad
Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 01:06 AM by WilliamPitt
I'm so used to challenging and defeating conservatives and neo-conservatives out here in the real world, I thought It would be OK to do so when one showed up in GD. He went without banning, and I thought I'd school him for a bit before the mods got him.

But since I've been scolded by a bunch of people for trying to do so, I guess that isn't what we do around here.

Jeez.

I remember joining up in May of 2001 and beating the crap out of Freepers when they tried to throw down. The best part of the game was defeating their arguments before they got banned...so they'd lose *and* get shut out.

That was then, I guess.

Go on, then, and attack Democrats and whoever else happens to be on your side. You can do that, here, because you won't get banned. All day long.

Don't challenge a Freeper, though. You'll get scolded.

Or something.

2. It's the old "take the higher ground" theory
That dems are famous for. I'm with you, tear them apart.

23. When your ideas are attacked, you DEFEND THEM
If that means throwing down with Freepers using reason, then so be it. You've got to hold the line somewhere.

3. Rules is rules.
I've been warned AND banned before for outing freeper disruptors. If this place weren't so damned great, I'd be pissed about that.

There's outing Freeps who do it subtle..

...and there's challenging the kamikazis.

Difference.

If you can't tell the difference between a mole and a kamikazi, I don't know what to tell you.

14. One's got fur and is blind. I know that much...
If you're blind, you can't pilot a plane.

Jeez, throw me a bone here!

No, I kid. What I'm saying is that I notice both kinds and have had warnings for both kinds. I outed a mole and got banned, and duelled with kamikazes and got warned...but like I said, I'll take the knocks the mods give me becuase I like this place too damn much to go too far.

4. Aww come on
I never read the dude's posts. I have no idea what you're talking about. I understand you're upset but golly. You gotta attack the whole board because they're not up for a fight with someone they never heard of?

6. Hmm. I've only been in DUland a couple months
and I've joined in beating up a bunch of freepers (before they got banned) several times already. Just like you described it. Good times. Your experience this time doesn't sound representative of the DU I've seen so far.

27. Will-I Like You...
...I find your post both pithy and cogent...if you write it I try to read it (though tough on a board this large).I think you are now SO close to celebrity that some people try to scrub anything they read as dissent.Don't worry,I like you more than most and if you post anything I find dumb, I'll say so Dipstick....Love Cat...

29. Maybe you were just arguing with one of Infinite Monkeys
taking a break from writing Shakespeare plays. I love beating up freepers, personally. I'd beat one up even if I knew it was a monkeyfreeper. And I'd enjoy it without guilt! :7

Not everyone is reading the same posts as you Will. Drag the miscreant into the light, show us what they did, and then beat them silly.

25. Dammit, I missed the party.
Someone recently posted a request that disruptors not be permanently deleted, basically just because they wanted to know "what'd they say, what'd they say?!?!?".

I'll have to admit, I've seen a few "message deleted" posts with some really intriguing replies that made me wonder "well, what did the troll say to begin with to prompt such a witty/snarky reply?"

Actually, Will, you always respond to stupidity with extreme clarity, nowledge, and insight... unless you are really, really tired.

You did a FANTASTIC job blogging from DC!

Now, go get some rest. You deserve it.

...but I was having a great time.

The mods may have been throwing us a bone with that troll. It stayed on longer than usual. Perhaps the mod was feeling entertained as well...

Hey Will, I'm glad you were up for a fight tonight. It'll keep you in tune for the real ones.

:D

36. I agree...
That little miscreant was really fun. However, I'd love to bag me a thousand-islander though. Those are the really nasty one -- kind of like roaches that always manage to slip into cracks when the lights are turned on. ;-)

32. Is it a drinking night tonight?
But I agree, it is much more fun to debate with people who are actually on the other side of the debate.

Let's let freepers go unbanned and lets make EVERY night a drinking night!

33. Just when you were doing such a great job of wiping the floor with them...
Give me a break, you didn't school him on jack.

"xxx is a chickenshit piece of shit."

I'm sure that will be running through his head, eating at his concious the next time he watches Hannity and Colmes.

Look, I'm all for confronting and debating Freepers that come in here to stir things up, but the three or four threads you made weren't about debate.

I don't even know what they fuck they were about.

37. "they may be weasels but they're my weasels" is an odd form...
union dues to have paid imo into an association seen too often pissing on it's own shoes while "conservatives and neo-conservatives out here in the real world" are collapsing by 'virtue' of their inability to support their own weight 2005 when thence it were but 2001, a four; soon to be 6yr lapse in space & time, again...imo; go ahead on & get those bad guys & gals in that my tiara already makes baby jesus cry :cry: or something...
