    Somebody needs to back away from the keyboard and go for a walk. Why not ask the wife if she would like to join you for a stroll?

    Probably that before you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye,perhaps you ought to pay attention to the whole freakin' lumberyard that's sprung up in your own eye.

    That threads like this will not have the effect you desire because you are less regarded than pretty much anyone else here, and not least because you have claimed that you are the kind of person who can win hearts and minds.

    In other words, people in glass houses....

    What Chardman said. I'm not allowed to post his name. He gets almost as freaked out as Lubak has been for the past two days.

    Offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys during their early-90s championship years. After he retired from football, he got busted for marijuana trafficking and spent a couple of years in a federal prison. Since then he's turned his life around.

    I'm not sure how Dayton thinks his situation is comparable to Newton's.

    Nate Newton was as said an offensive lineman for the Dallas Cowboys. For several seasons he was known for reporting to training camp fat and out of shape but also known for playing himself into shape as the season progressed.

    He was offensive tackle before settling in as offensive guard (position between the tackle and center) for the Cowboys three Super Bowl wins in four seasons stretch.

    At any rate, Newton was known for playing up to or down to his level of opposition.

    He would be playing lackluster ball against a journeyman defensive lineman one week and the commentators would be saying stuff like

    "Not a good game for Nate. What's he gonna do when Reggie White (future Hall of Famer) comes to town next week?"

    What would almost always happen would be Reggie White would come to town and Nate Newton would hold him to a single tackle or something like that.

    The point is, Newton saw no reason to bust his ass playing against some nobody in a game the Cowboys would win anyway.

    He went all out (probably beyond his capabilities) when the Philadelphia Eagles (division rivals of the Cowboys) and Reggie White came to town in a critical contest.

    It doesn't matter how many debates I win or lose in an obscure discussion board argument against people who for the most part don't even have real names available.

    So why make any kind of massive effort?

    I am confident in a true election campaign that I would do considerably better.

    And also about five years too late for anyone to foam at the mouth about things Garamet says.

    Kirk and Peter Octave an would have loved it, though.

    I'm sorry that my mockery of your best friend upsets you. Maybe you should join his meltdown over at Troll Kingdom, and while you're at it ask him why he swindled you out of an extortionate amount of your money for the first part of a book he's since withdrawn.

    Maybe you should try not being a massive raging douchebag. But then, you're a lawyer so it's kind of a requirement I guess.

    How about courtesy for the people who have to scroll past multiple repeats of your giant sig?

    And predictably, Chup plays the little-mister-innocent card. It's never you, is it? No matter what kind of rampant asshole you act like, it's always someone else's fault.

    Right, so you're claiming that Castle didn't try and fuck with the professional lives of @gul and I?

    Please, spare Castle's proxy tears. He was trolling this place and it's members a long time before I was ever trolling him.
