Well, the problem for Randym Pat is he chose to be an agitator here and that is not an easy thing to be. Personally, I don't have anything against Pat or his political beliefs. Our Randym dude has been around here for quite a while and so he knows what to expect from people here and we know what to expect from him. He has by his own admission made efforts to stir things up and often to get a rise out of David specifically. Well, to that end you get what you ask for. There are several people on this site that are open to debate and that are fairly good at it so if you are going to step into that arena you better bring it because just quoting somebody is not enough and as we've seen over time little mercy will be shown here if you just wanna dip your toe in the water but you aren't willing to go for a swim.

As far as cheap shots go, I think it would be fair to say I have taken some but I want to say and I've said it before there is no animosity behind them. For example, my little kitty paddling in the bath posts, those were quite obviously not meant to be nasty but I felt that they were an honest reflection of what you've been up to, Pat. You pop in, slap at the water of this little pond, get a giggle at stirring up the little fish and hope you get some kind of reaction out of the big fish. Fine, we're all used to it now but don't feign surprise or outrage at the reaction you get. You know what's coming and you've known it for a long time. In fact, isn't that sort of what you want? I always suspected it was some kind of win for you every time you got somebody to lose their shit or got David to tell you to fuck off. Like you were proving we were just a bunch of "hypocritical" lefty loons so you could easily dimiss the substance of what we said.

For what it's worth I don't think any of the guys you mentioned are "hiding behind this board" in fact we all pretty much put ourselves right out in the open for you or anybody else to take shots at. I don't think anybody here really holds back what they want to say which means we are making ourselves easy targets. Of course nobody is a bigger target than David because people who wander in here do so because his name is on the front door...the rest of us bozos, wackos, weirdos, and creeps just get thrown into the package for those poor unsuspecting bastards.

I have to admit, Pat, I've never really been sure what you've been trying to do with some of your posts here. It's clear many of them were meant to antagonize people and once you go down that road it is hard to turn back.

Is this latest thing with Peter and the rest of us a message that you don't want to do that anymore?
