Without naming him specifically.....

Patricia posted this little thing about me claiming that he makes "all of us" laugh. Just to prove a point, because unlike Patridiculous I actually PROVE my points, please vote:

Does Patrick, in fact, make you laugh with his inane, inaccurate and absurd bigoted comments?

You're allowed to comment, at least until this is moved to Flame Wars or something (although it is certainly a political topic).

I was torn between the first two options, but went with the former in the end. I should add, however, that along with my mirth at his trollishness, there is also a bit of fear, or perhaps more accurately dismay, that it is 2004 and we still have people like sweets walking the earth.

I don't find bigotry funny. It's more sad than anything else.

It is sad. Especially since antibiotics could have been effective in the early stages.

Pat,

I want concrete evidence of "[Dorian Gray] has got knocked flat so often by me lately". Seriously, show it to me, and I will post it, and we will let the others vote on it. send me a link give me a quote, I will even let you and your other puppets vote as many times as you want.

I don't think you get it, you constatly state how no one can debate with you, but all you do is rant idiotically and with no purpose. Even the people who have the same ideals as you don't like you. I don't even post on this board that much. Your annoying.

Take my challenge. Please. If you don't, you prove my point. If you do, but fail to come up with anything that merits at least a 51% vote in your favor, will you take the hint and actually listen to others instead of spewing your insipid lunacy?

I am the chicken, and I endorse this message whole heartedly!

Seems I'm the only one going for the "No/Planet X" option, so I'll put my thought into itty bitty electric signals for you:

Patrick reminds me of Jedi Knight, and the J/K episode didn't end too well as I can remember. So there.

(If, on the other hand, someone wants to say something about stars and the generation of gravity.... )

I took option 3, only because he has (in other fora here) posted with something closer to reasonableness and even demonstrated a sense of humor.

It is only in this forum that his inability to organize his thoughts, present evidence and references to back up his arguments, and his churlish sensability that whomever comes up with the most base and obvious insult of his opponent makes one the winner is what relegates him to the lower levels of the debate here.

However, he is not the absolute joke that NTE and Richard G are and has shown more depth on topics than Zenith-Nadir, so I can't consign him to the outermost depths of trollism yet.

I used to find him amusing, as cantankerousness is often amusing, but then he began losing his own sense of humor. There is quite a bit of real venom in his diatribes now. That kind of kills the entertainment aspect for me. He seems to bear actual, personal hatred for people who differ in opinion. This is the freakin' Internet, for fluffy bunnies' sake. There's no need for him to get so angry at people.

I'm sure I'll get a poorly-punctuated diatribe of insults in response. I just wish to walrus that he'd learn to use the quote function properly. Some hardworking PHP programmer went to all the effort of making that function, the least he could do is use it!

I declined to vote because I didn't see a statement I agreed with, including "I actually PROVE my points..." (now that made me laugh). But I thought you might like to know your buddy's already started a thread in "Flame Wars."

If you had only declined to comment as well. Instead, you show your true colors by admitting by implication that you agree with Patrick. You've really backed a winner and I don't question your judgement at all.

Obviously, you voted #1. Thanks for providing an example.

And here I am, just trying to be helpful in letting you know Patrick's flaming you somewhere else and you might want to defend yourself.

Some gratitude. Last time I try to be nice to you.

So - 24 out of 41 said they laugh at Patrick. AT him, that is. Pretty definitive.
