    I guess it was the tone of their incredulity that I found off-putting. And his posting elsewhere was not that extensive.

    But certain parties with an inflated sense of their own importance want to believe they "drove him off" with their petty little rep war.

    Disgusted him, maybe. But drove him off? :dayton: They've never met the guy.

    But that doesn't stop you from making notions about others, does it?

    I form my opinions based on what people post, and on how important rep wars are to them. I find it hard to believe anyone who runs around boasting "I BEAT SOMEBODY IN TEH REP WAR - I ROOOL!" is a responsible adult.

    I agree with Garamet. POTN is not a responsible adult.

    ^Funny how the mere mention of rep war conjures you out of the woodwork.

    Funny how the stench of Garamet drives people out - that must have been what you meant.

    Shove it up your cunt. POTN was just as much a rep-wanker as anyone else, and frequently boasted of his skillz as a rep warrior. He got beat at his own game, turned tail and ran. Period. End of story. Instead of sticking around to fight to the finish, to see if perhaps there was some last minute strategem he could have used to save himself in the end game, he sped out of here faster than Albert from a random piss test.

    You can sing the eye surgery song all you like, but we all know it didn't stop him from posting at TBBS. So take your twattery and your moronic cosmic jellyfish books and fuck off. Withered old bitch. And just for the record, your draft of Probe sucked, that's why it was taken away from you, and your patheitc Harlen Ellison-esque routine a la City on the Edge of Forever is a fucking joke.

    Oh trust me she knows it. Yet she will continue to deny it like a lap-bitch of PotN.

    Well, to be sure, I only recall one person who worked "3rd most popular poster at Wordforge" into as many threads as possible.

    Enormous egos make easy targets. I can't really sympathize with his plight.

    Interesting. I don't keep track of these things. Got a link?

    What are you babbling about now? You negged Megatron for reopening it, now you're all over it.

    Damn, I'd have guessed Packard was to blame.

    Does it matter?

    No one made him run around the board talking about being the third most popular poster constantly. No one made him run around the board boasting of his rep war skills. No one made him resign from the staff so he could fight the "rep wars" while boasting about it.

    He is responsible for himself. So no it doesn't matter who started that nonsense and I doubt you can find anyone who remembers anyway. But nice try at deflecting the issue away from POTN.

    That pretty much describes POTN's philosophy to a T. I could make all the pot shots in the world at people like Kirk1ADM, but let me call out one of his idols, and I'd be accused of "Random attacking." Because something like that has never been done on a routine basis in this board. Nope, not at all. :rolleyes:

    Face it, POTN bit off more than he can chew and got his ass handed back to him big time. Rep wars *are* a waste of time, but he was just as bad as the usual suspects in starting them and continuing in it.
