My bad

[WilliamPitt]

I'm so used to challenging and defeating conservatives and neo-conservatives out here in the real world, I thought It would be OK to do so when one showed up in GD. He went without banning, and I thought I'd school him for a bit before the mods got him.

But since I've been scolded by a bunch of people for trying to do so, I guess that isn't what we do around here.

Jeez.

I remember joining up in May of 2001 and beating the crap out of Freepers when they tried to throw down. The best part of the game was defeating their arguments before they got banned...so they'd lose *and* get shut out.

That was then, I guess.

Go on, then, and attack Democrats and whoever else happens to be on your side. You can do that, here, because you won't get banned. All day long.

Don't challenge a Freeper, though. You'll get scolded.

Or something.

1. the obvious ones are boring and not a challenge. nt

[bpilgrim]

the good ole days, eh?

:eyes:

peace

[RagingInMiami]

2. It's the old "take the higher ground" theory

That dems are famous for. I'm with you, tear them apart.

[Stand and Fight]

15. God damn right tear them apart.

This is war -- enough with the nuanced damn debate bullshit already.

[RagingInMiami]

17. Just like your username says

[Selatius]

23. When your ideas are attacked, you DEFEND THEM

If that means throwing down with Freepers using reason, then so be it. You've got to hold the line somewhere.

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Rules is rules.

I've been warned AND banned before for outing freeper disruptors. If this place weren't so damned great, I'd be pissed about that.

[WilliamPitt]

5. 'Kay

There's outing Freeps who do it subtle..

...and there's challenging the kamikazis.

Difference.

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Like how? 'splain.

Either way, I was doing DU a service.

[WilliamPitt]

10. Um

If you can't tell the difference between a mole and a kamikazi, I don't know what to tell you.

[RandomKoolzip]

14. One's got fur and is blind. I know that much...

If you're blind, you can't pilot a plane.

Jeez, throw me a bone here!

No, I kid. What I'm saying is that I notice both kinds and have had warnings for both kinds. I outed a mole and got banned, and duelled with kamikazes and got warned...but like I said, I'll take the knocks the mods give me becuase I like this place too damn much to go too far.

[blogslut]

4. Aww come on

I never read the dude's posts. I have no idea what you're talking about. I understand you're upset but golly. You gotta attack the whole board because they're not up for a fight with someone they never heard of?

[WilliamPitt]

7. This

is one of those threads that is about you because YOU KNOW it's about you.

If it isn't, you know that, too.

[blogslut]

11. OK Princess

Have fun with that.

[WilliamPitt]

12. pzzzcheeezzzz

[Autonomy]

6. Hmm. I've only been in DUland a couple months

and I've joined in beating up a bunch of freepers (before they got banned) several times already. Just like you described it. Good times. Your experience this time doesn't sound representative of the DU I've seen so far.

[WilliamPitt]

8. Heh

I picked a special wimpy night, I guess.

[catnhatnh]

16. Will...I may have smoked you...

...when you posted an "unascribed" thread-but did I insult you? That was not my intention...

[WilliamPitt]

19. I was not insulted

In fact, I was confused as to why you got attacked.

Peace to ya.

:)

[catnhatnh]

27. Will-I Like You...

...I find your post both pithy and cogent...if you write it I try to read it (though tough on a board this large).I think you are now SO close to celebrity that some people try to scrub anything they read as dissent.Don't worry,I like you more than most and if you post anything I find dumb, I'll say so Dipstick....Love Cat...

[Autonomy]

29. Maybe you were just arguing with one of Infinite Monkeys

taking a break from writing Shakespeare plays. I love beating up freepers, personally. I'd beat one up even if I knew it was a monkeyfreeper. And I'd enjoy it without guilt! :7

[bpilgrim]

13. fyi

he's been tombstoned...

you can holster your guns now :P

peace

[Stand and Fight]

18. Damn... I guess my alert finally got through.

Bashing the troll was kind of fun though.

[bpilgrim]

24. the mods never sleep ;-)

he was a little fish though... now the 1000k and up are a real treat :evilgrin:

y'all sure throttled him good in that thread though :toast:

peace

[Fridays Child]

30. For real? That scares me. Never met a 1000+ troll...that I know of.

[Lex]

22. Shit--Will shot up the place trying to get that troll.

[Az]

20. Ya got to splain yourself before you just tear into someone

Not everyone is reading the same posts as you Will. Drag the miscreant into the light, show us what they did, and then beat them silly.

[punpirate]

21. If there's a sin involved...

... it might be that you've wasted too many words already on yet another Bush manque. :)

[johnaries]

25. Dammit, I missed the party.

Someone recently posted a request that disruptors not be permanently deleted, basically just because they wanted to know "what'd they say, what'd they say?!?!?".

I'll have to admit, I've seen a few "message deleted" posts with some really intriguing replies that made me wonder "well, what did the troll say to begin with to prompt such a witty/snarky reply?"

Actually, Will, you always respond to stupidity with extreme clarity, nowledge, and insight... unless you are really, really tired.

You did a FANTASTIC job blogging from DC!

Now, go get some rest. You deserve it.

[Vektor]

26. I loved it.

The little turd had it coming.

[never cry wolf]

28. But, but.... Obama is a Dino.....

No apologiies needed Will.

[Spiffarino]

31. I dunno about y'all

...but I was having a great time.

The mods may have been throwing us a bone with that troll. It stayed on longer than usual. Perhaps the mod was feeling entertained as well...

Hey Will, I'm glad you were up for a fight tonight. It'll keep you in tune for the real ones.

:D

[Stand and Fight]

36. I agree...

That little miscreant was really fun. However, I'd love to bag me a thousand-islander though. Those are the really nasty one -- kind of like roaches that always manage to slip into cracks when the lights are turned on. ;-)

[spindoctor]

32. Is it a drinking night tonight?

But I agree, it is much more fun to debate with people who are actually on the other side of the debate.

Let's let freepers go unbanned and lets make EVERY night a drinking night!

[sysoprock]

33. Just when you were doing such a great job of wiping the floor with them...

Give me a break, you didn't school him on jack.

"xxx is a chickenshit piece of shit."

I'm sure that will be running through his head, eating at his concious the next time he watches Hannity and Colmes.

Look, I'm all for confronting and debating Freepers that come in here to stir things up, but the three or four threads you made weren't about debate.

I don't even know what they fuck they were about.

[WilliamPitt]

35. They were about

getting him to reply to the first ten attempts I made to engage him.

Pay attention.

[LittleClarkie]

34. Zoooom

The sound of your post going over my head.

Hrr?

On edit: oh dear, you've joined the DU DQ faction, haven't you. Poor dear got scolded. Bah. Try being a Kerrycrat on DailyKos.

[bridgit]

37. "they may be weasels but they're my weasels" is an odd form...

union dues to have paid imo into an association seen too often pissing on it's own shoes while "conservatives and neo-conservatives out here in the real world" are collapsing by 'virtue' of their inability to support their own weight 2005 when thence it were but 2001, a four; soon to be 6yr lapse in space & time, again...imo; go ahead on & get those bad guys & gals in that my tiara already makes baby jesus cry :cry: or something...
