That is rubbish and you know it Who.

I will only reveal that there is an oath, blood, one wooden spoon, and an owl mask involved.

No one is that sure about anybody. I would have believed 75%.

So, Green Arrow - you're not a mod or a VIP anymore?

Sup with that?

[Green Arrow]

So, @Green Arrow (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=868) - you're not a mod or a VIP anymore?

Sup with that?

I work right about twelve hours a day, Monday through Friday, and don't particularly feel like spending what little free time I have left herding cats.

Plus, I got to tell Bob to fuck off the other day after officially removing myself from mods and VIPs, and not having to censor myself anymore feels really good :tongue:

That's all fine and well, but you were one of the best mods here.

I can't watch for him to go off on youknowwho.

[Green Arrow]

That's all fine and well, but you were one of the best mods here.

I appreciate the sentiment, Howey, but it's really not true. Dr. Who and Pete have been doing it a lot longer than me, and Dr. Who in particular has a much better temperament than I do. PolWatch came in after me, but she is also much better at it than I was.

I'm a little hurt that you felt the need to disclaim that.

ok, it passed.

[Green Arrow]

Temperament is important.

I'm too feisty for the job, really. Too many "fuck you"s and "fuck off"s build up and I just feel like smashing things. I'm not built for self-censoring :tongue:

[Green Arrow]

It was more for the benefit of the whiners that like to stalk my posts and complain about them, didn't want to make too much work for the others.

No, lingering car sickness that is taking longer to dissipate than usual. I haven't had any alcohol in over 24 hours.

[Hal Jordan]

I have! :tongue:

I also enjoyed some ham and scalloped potatoes (with sour cream and cheese) given to me by the fellowship...

Well, technically, yes. I never give Mac rep, but I give you plenty of it, and my reps are worth a lot. None of the people giving Mac reps have rep power as high as mine, so in effect, the reps given to you are worth more than the reps given to him.

But, just to clear it up with Mac-7, that isn't due to Affirmative Action, correct? I'm just more awesome than he is, right? :afro:

Oh, of course. I give out thanks and reputation probably more than anyone on this forum (you can crunch the numbers, find someone with even close to 27,258 thanks given in a year and a half), and it's all 100% based on the merit of the post. I've even thanked Mac and Ransom a couple times when I felt their post deserved it.

Most of the time, their posts don't deserve it and I don't give out free thanks/rep.

This board is an outpost of lib la la land.

Naturally the sick, the lame, and the lazy would thank their fellow libs because conformity is the goal.

Conservatives do not march in step with the 3 percent crown and so will never be part of their club here.

Well, I'm not a conservative if that is what you're asking, nor liberal.

Given the available parties to pick from I would say the libertarians are the closest thing I could rally behind. No party is perfect.

But as far as Mac is concerned? Who cares?

And I bet he didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either.

Mac is a CINO. He's only interested in the pop culture of conservatism. For him it's fun to want to be just like Rush.

That's as far as it goes with him.

And I bet he didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night either.

It's ironical for him to say cons don't conform but unless you confirm to his views you're not a con.

Being a VIP on a political website is about as prestigious as getting a gold star in elementary school for good posture.

But if the masters at Google are happy then I'm happy.
