    In the episode people make fun of Randy saying what the meme says . So Megatron is that guy now so it’s a response to a thread about him. I’ve been posting that meme over at TK because he’s blasting out the N word over there. I just wish I had thought of it earlier. I was waiting for Tererun to return to use it.

    I'll weigh in at this point. Prefacing the South Park gif would have wise. Even with the episode's social commentary being decently established in the public consciousness, it's not one that stands well on its own.

    As for Tererun, without outside confirmation, it's likely he's pulled a Kenny, but we won't see him next episode.

    Right. @Bickendan misgendered her and didn’t say unalived.

    Well, then. I'd say simply banning him isn't going far enough. This calls for a keelhauling.

    I'll get the rope. Anyone have a ship with a barnacle-encrusted hull we can borrow?

    Hmmm...
    Would i be cool with ATF snatching a guy off the street abs Tehran to give him due process negate he wrote an op-ed saying we should allow teachers to be armed or something?
    No. No I would not.
    Because I'm not like you.

    I've never been banned.
    I never spammed up the board with drunken rants against the mods.
    I never called any women "fat, ugly bitches".
    I've never posted racial slurs.
    I've never had a swastika as my avatar.
    I've never defended Nazis.

    Concentration camps: You have no problem with people getting shipped to CECOT without trial.
    Arresting people for free speech: You are fine with what happened to Ozturk and think she deserved it.
    Ethnic cleansing: You see nothing wrong with forcing the Gazans to leave their homes. You've even gone so far as to try to argue that the definition of ethnic cleansing is too broad.
    Book banning: You consistently argue that individual parents should be allowed to restrict access to books in libraries.
    Every word i said was true, you goose-stepping fascist.

    Yeah, I would love it if most of the people in the Trump administration died in a fire.
    So what?
    Hoping for fascists to die isn't the "evidence" you think it is.

    If your argument here is that you do contribute to the board, you’re doing it wrong. All you’re doing is saying “I’m a good person, you have to like me!!!” Instead, you’re coming off as bland.

    Most of us have never done those things. What have you done?

    Oh, I got banned from TrekBBS to close the door on that chapter when I came over here.
    Oh, you should have. You really missed out.

    The ultimate ATF raid was fucking Waco, and he knows goddamned well nobody here thought burning the Waco compound down was cool.
    They roasted the very kids they claimed they were saving, for fuck's sakes.
    That's why I just called it creamy bullshit. He's gone so unhinged, I didn't deem it worth dignifying.
    He's gone from calling Bear a Nazi file clerk, to accusing me of being a Waco-lover.
    The insanity speaks for itself.

    Despite what your partner likes to say, I rarely feel comfortable espousing my own plaudits.
    As far as Groomer is concerned, I'm just pointing out where he failed and I succeeded. Granted, it is a very low bar.
    And hey, I didn't even have to mention his predilection for 12 year olds. He's just a cornucopia of awful.

    Maybe it's just me, but giving the Swastika Avatar guy the benefit of the doubt when he posts racial slurs and continues to engage in race baiting in different threads seems like an incredibly stupid idea. Giving this shit a pass means we're roughly three beers away from the return of "niggardly naggers" and "shooting coons." :marathon:

    Liar.

    I can make the same claims as you.

    Why is it difficult for you to address me?

    This is not the first time you’ve turned on me. I’m not a forgiving person IRL. So, if you want to be adversaries, keep it up.

    I don’t disagree. But, I’m unsure as to what you consider observations to back up your argument.

    Not lying. And it's not difficult. I just genuinely don't feel comfortable singing my own praises.
    But if you insist:
    1) I'm a published author with the largest book publisher in the world. That alone adds a level of credibility of the ongoing discussions here from an outsiders perspective, much the same way Garamet did.
    2) I'm highly educated, probably one of the most highly educated people on this board. Thus I add a certain academic perspective to debates.
    3) I've been here almost from the beginning, though I was gone for quite some time too. I'm familiar with how the board used to be, and can tell when someone (cough cough) has changed their persona even when they want to deny it.
    4) As a member of Penguin and the Author's Guild, I'm subject to a lot of behind- the-scenes info about topics like book bans and AI, due to the lawsuits they are pursuing in those venues.
    5) I'm an active professor and former HS teacher, so I also have an inside perspective on education to counter the grossly uninformed opinions of people like your partner.
    6) I'm extremely well-traveled, so I have a broad perspective on life outside my own little bubble, unlike some people here.
    7) I'm a former business owner of a landscape construction company that worked million dollar plus contracts for private firms and the government (both local and federal), so I have a perspective on business that many do not.
    8) I'm a married father of four, with children ranging from ages 25 to 11. Three of them are designated special needs. So I have an in- depth perspective on parenting and special needs services.
    9) I'm a first- generation American and have been intimately involved with immigration issues for many friends and family, giving me another unique perspective.
    10) I've had martial arts training and I was a wrestler in high school, so I know a thing or two about hand to hand combat as well. Again, unlike your partner or Groomer.

    So, yeah, there's a lot, but I don't really bring it up until someone (often your partner) wants to disparage me or others in comparison to himself.
    But, you insisted. So there you go.

    I once jumped over a gate while running from a dog and caught my pants, and ended up running home in my underwear in the rain. Can you say you've done the same? No?
    I once leaned out of a passenger side window during a tornado chase trying to keep rain from obstructing the windshield because the wipers flew off, and I got pelted with hail. You? No?
    I've shown the film classic Spaceballs to every single one of my girlfriends, who became my former girlfriends, who became my father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate? What does that make us? Absolutely nothing.

    Amateur.
