Elmer's signing off thread

elmerfudd · October 07, 2011, 12:20:43 PM

Elmer's going away for the weekend. Won't be posting or reading. Boy will I miss it! If I get one of the coveted CPF awards, like smartest lib or some such, please hold it for me. I will definitely be back. And I will definitely put it on my resume if I am blessed with one of those awards!

No such thing as a smart lib.

Maybe age is catching up with me and I'm getting less patient or my standards are going up but contentless snark is very quickly earning lefties a place on my "don't read" list. If it's clever snark or snark with some worthwhile content that's one thing but the sort of responses elmer's been firing off the last week or so are causing my eyes to glaze over when I see his handle.

My apologies. I just figured that people who dealt snark as much as CPFers do would be able to take it as well. Especially when that snark was of lesser quality. My bad.

Define Snark....

We all know those that can't debate facts, always resort to sarcasm, he is no different...

Why not try responding with actual facts to back up your posts, rather than stupid little quips?

I think I have. But since you and others don't like facts that might disagree with your preconceived notions, you attack them. And me.

No, its when you act like an idiot when I prove you wrong that is the problem.

It's your forum. If I am an idiot that won't accept your "inspired" correction, boot me. I'll live. I won't re-register, I won't even "lurk" as a guest. I'll just go away and you can resume the groupthink you apparently like so much.

Edited to add this: if I find out I am banned next time I try to visit, then let me take this opportunity, in advance, to say I have enjoyed my time here. Thank you for letting me play as long as you did. I wish all of you the best. I don't think things are as black and white as most of you do (there are an awful lot of gray areas, in other words), and I don't think many of the "self evident truths" you folks seem to believe exist really do. Nor do I think any of you are idiots. Ciao!

What and lose one of the few RINOs we have.

Every village has its idiot, I see no reason to boot you for misguided ideals.
