Sorry out of commission and down at the Outer Banks with gang of four. Will return Monday rarin’ to go.

Where are you? On ‘vaca’, I trust…!

Knowing a smidge about IDs, I know to close the lid when I flush.
May I suggest everyone else do the same, including ‘BodyPolitic
(muted chuckle)

For what it’s worth for BB, I do suggest a complete physical. Probably a good therapist or credentialed Support Group is not a bad idea, some form of regular exercise, if permissible, and nutritional support, to start. Medication(s) – maybe later, unless sleeping etc is a problem, now. Beyond that, I may be able to suggest a referral.

Some people find basic seminars in ‘Conflict Resolution’ helpful as a starting point. Some enjoy reading ‘Getting to Yes’ and similar negotiation strategy books. Others take up chess or backgammon.

I seriously doubt anyone ever said ‘Bartlebee is banished’, however that is what he ‘hears’ – or would like us to believe that is the message he has received, and is now irretrievably wounded, hoping to induce guilt, rather than be cajoled into altering his behavior.

Flip a coin. He’s calls it for himself.

JT is a wonderful host, a gentle man and a Constitutional scholar extraordinaire.

Like Bugs Bunny (maybe my favorite neo-classic philosopher)says “scary ain’t it?” As you note, “fair” was not what he was looking for. I gave him so much time because I saw no reason for him to attack Patty C like that who I find to be tough, proud, and fair–admirable qualities all. Since I was young, I never liked bullies. Maybe that’s why I do what I do? Talk about “psychological projection”–now I’m self analyzing!

Mespo,

You were always very fair with him. I was impressed that you gave him so much of your time and consideration.

I think his little list above was a classic case of psychological projection.

“I’ll leave your blog and never post in it again.”
**********************

Whew, glad that’s over. The “Age of Miracles” must be upon us. It was certainly inevitable, but even I could not have hoped so soon. Now maybe we can get back to intelligent argument and discussion. Where’s my ol’ buddy Niblet? Compared to some bloggers of very recent vintage, he looks positively Einsteinian by comparison.

Since you permit bloggers like mespo and patty to attack new bloggers, unprovoked, and litteraly badger them until they finally retort with some uncivility of their own, and then penalize the blogger who dares respond to the non stop stalking attacks of your two favorite friends, I will do you one better.

I’ll leave your blog and never post in it again.

You guys spend your days damning the right for cronyism, yet clearly it is a dual standard when it comes to your own.

Notice not one word to mespo or patty, about their non stop attacks on me.

Not one word about how they follow me from thread to thread, insult me, harrass me, demonize me, and generally try and interfere with my comments to other bloggers.

Just let them piss me off enough to wear I might use some questionable language, and then walla. Here comes the teacher to chastize me for responding to these two GOONS you keep on hand to drive out anyone who won’t goosestep to the blog beat.

This isn’t a vehicle for free expression, nor does the free speech you so loudly proclaim on Countdown exist here.

What you have here, is an “ECHO CHAMBER”, where bully liberals like messpo and patty c, are permitted to drive out new bloggers by badgering them until they either leave, or react in a way that draws your rebuke.

Well, you can “say” you don’t like to censor all you want, but you just censored me, and without so much as an inkling of alluding to the bloggers, who harrassed me until I finaly let loose with some bad language, obviously to try and discourage them from talking to me.

I don’t talk that way, it should have been obvious to you that my intent was to make it unpleasent for them to keep harrassing me.

But apparently that was neither visible to you, or you just didn’t care. Either way, I won’t hang out in an ECHO CHAMBER, where left WINGNUTS like Patty and your pal messpo, are permitted to badger bloggers, but responses from those bloggers are censored and stifled.

I really thought you believed the stuff you say on Countdown, and who knows, maybe you do.

You just don’t practice it yourself.

So I will bid you good morning sir, and leave you to your ECHO CHAMBER, so you guys can “talk” about free speech.

Oh… and in case I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight.

I have removed three of your comments which included foul language directed at another person. This site is committed to civil discourse. I do not want to bar or censor anyone on a site that has free speech focus, but we need to maintain a minimal standard of civility in discourse. Also, I would appreciate it if you would try to combine some of your comments rather than have four or five one-line comments following in one after another. The problem is that there is a limit on the number of comments which appear on the opening page. We welcome continued exchanges and dialogues. However, having four comments in an uninterrupted line prevents other comments from being visible for the other readers on the home page comments column.

JT

Welcome to the club of those who had the audacity to cross, however mildly, the omnipotent, omniscient one. Your membership card and suit of armor are in the mail. Please be advised that he courageously likes to pick on women so blog accordingly. You may also strive to be called one of the following by our resident loon:

asswipe
jackass
buttbuddy
slick
brainless wonder
LIAR

They are gold star moments like being named to Nixon’s hit list!

What do you say, battlebee, isn’t this domestic terrorism

Well gee Lindywho, why don’t you try reading all the comments I made about that very thing.

I posted numerous comments on the shootings at the Unitarian church.

You know, the ones that Patty and Messpo are complaining about.

What do you say, battlebee, isn’t this domestic terrorism?

I’m liberal, and I occasionally go to our Unitarian Universalist church. Now I have to think about copy cat killers. In my town, the Universalist church is directly across the street from a major trauma center. Maybe that will come in handy.

Then why is it publiclly available, to the public, on the public internet, for any member of the public to use?

And what does bandwidth have to do with the number of comments posting?

And who are you, to tell me what to do?

You three keep “acting” like you’ve got some authority here. Yet theres no disclaimers, no posted “rules or regulations”, no list of any authors other than Professor Turley.

And Professor Turley has not asked me to leave, which I will gladly do should he so ask.

So what is it exactly that makes you, and your two other Kapo’s there, think you get to boss other bloggers around again?

You’re so honest.

Simply said being stalked by you is like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau

He’ll probably be “Green Warrant” eligible by then

Since you initiated contact with me, each and every time, it would be you, and your friend patty, for whom any “warrant” would apply.

Fortunately however, the First Amendment is still in place, and you are free to comment to and even insult me in this public forum, just as I am free to tell you both to bite me.

Patty INITIATES contact, with “Battlebee”.

Read it and weep, LIAR.

Who just happened to find her way to this dead thread that was finished yesterday to help along your tag team schmucks?

How nice.

uhhh. Cindy, aka Patty, aka douchebag number 1?

I WAS on the topic of the thread, discussing the thread with Susan, Rafflaw and one other person, when you and your scumbag partner, messpot came in and started attacking me.

Don’t worry though. Your comments are not going away.

Nor will the timestamps.

Is it true that great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, and small minds discuss other people? Can’t you just stick to the ideas and leave off the insults?

It’s amazing how the topic of discussion now revolves around a person who seems to have very little real interest in the topic at hand.

….tap tap tap …. is this thing on?

Or did you mean yourself?

Simply said being stalked by you…

It boggles the mind.

I think we’ll need some Saint Magdalene 19 year old single malt too, but it should be quite a show!

When it’s your final post “about” me, then let me know.

Until then you can kiss my ass, douchebag.

Nope, never claimed you were stalking me. Simply said being stalked by you is like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau–comparative not complaintive. I really don’t think you could keep up! Like the “original” invective though. Let me know when you run out, I’ll suggest a few, but I would suggest you quit picking on and cursing ladies–it’s bad form even for you. By my reckoning you’re digging a hole with our host that even an elegy won’t fix. We’ll just have to wait and see.

..uuhhh… thats not butter patty….

When in Rome ay?

Pocorn is ready! Ya like butter on yours?

But he said Bartlebee is stalking him.

Making him, a LIAR.

L

I

A

R

LIAR.

Thus Patty is a LIAR.

LIAR.

Pants on F.I.R.E

Notice above it is she who initiates contact, just as douchebag number 2 did, in an insulting and ugly manner.

Observe.

I have a request.

————–

So we see, douchebag number 1, is likewise proven a liar, as she herself is the one who has been stalking Bartlebee, as each thread will show.

Which makes Patty a LIAR.

L.I.A.R

LIAR.

LIAR.

Liar.

Naw, it’s like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau.

Lets expose douchebag number 2, for the liar that he is.

Douchebag number 2 here claims that I was “stalking” him.

But the posts in all threads, show he FIRST initiated contact, each and every time.

In fact, this very post shows that.

Here, douchebag number 2. Here’s your LIE, exposed.

Patty C:

I second that emotion, with one amendment. I move that we limit ourselves to one thought per comment and that the posting be concise and complete unto itself. We’re getting some that, in the words of Churchill, “by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.” It’s a pipe dream I know, but we can ask.

So we see, douchebag number 2, intiated contact.

NOT Bartlebee.

So we see, messpo, aka douchebag number 2, is a liar.

I started a “file” for you, the night you FIRST started attacking me.

And unfortunately for you, the posts remain, and in each and every thread, you opened your big, fat, mouth, everytime first.

FIRST PATTY.

YOU.

Not me. YOU.

And anytime you need the file for reference douchebag, let me know.

Naw, it’s like being stalked by Inspector Clouseau. I kind of like his childish rants. They are fun to correct and I am guessing he’s just waiting for the next comment to pounce like Cato. Like most kids, he’ll just go away one day, but in the meantime let’s enjoy the show. Popcorn ready?

He’s stalking us.

I started a file here. You?

I am torn between Paranoia and God Delusion on this one. Can you help? On another topic, I conceded our bet too soon

uh.oh.. you’re breaking your own bylaws their Homer.

Lead by example Schmoozie.

Lead by example.

The God delusion would’ve been her ancestors carrying the Union Jack into battle, thinking they’d actually escape the hangmans noose.

I am torn between Paranoia and God Delusion on this one. Can you help? On another topic, I conceded our bet too soon.

The ones who came over in the cargo hold of the Mayflower?

Or the ones carrying the Union Jack into battle during the Revolution, even though they were living in Virginia at the time?

Thank you George W. Bush.

You just sorta “forget” the fact that you each time, attacked me first.

Its what you “medical” folks call, “selective amnesia”.

That’s right! You did insult me AND my dead ancestors

Lol, no, I “mocked them”.

Theres a difference.

And ONLY after, you came in, and demanded I leave.

Remember that crazy patty?

Thanks for reminding me! And I wanted you to leave for insulting me and my heritage in every conceivable way.

And when do it again, I will have exactly the same reaction.

Bring it on.
