: Wasn't trying to change his mind. Just speaking my mind. And since my opinion isn't one of a sycophantic (I'm sorry, I used a big word) fanboy, I suppose it's not really worth anything around these here parts.
It's not really worth anything because "fuck you, you fat fuck" is an ineloquent, childish attack that has no relevance to either the current discussion or the topic of this board. What a ridiculous thing to say. "My opinion is that he's fat and he's a fuck, and I'm not a suck-up, so the rest of you won't listen!"
Keep on raging against that machine, son. Too hardcore for me.
: It's a goddamned good thing that I wasn't talking to you then, isn't it. Of course, I think I could more than handle you being offended. I've offended much more interesting people in my life. It's still true that he doesn't really give a shit. He was going to do it anyway, so asking us what we thought about it and pretending to give us a choice was an asshole way to do it. It would have been a much more stand up move to just say, "Hey, we're gonna turn off the other board next week."
I'm not offended. No sweat. Takes a lot more than that to get to me (see, if I wanted to start turning to the cheap personal attacks without knowing anything about you, I'd say, "takes more than what you've got", but I'm being helping and friendly now). Anyway, I'm hardly an authority on what the guy says/feels (talk to Smalls), but I don't think he ever pretended to give you a choice, he just asked for opinions. And what did you give him?
"Fuck you, you fat fuck!"
Yeah, I'm gonna do what the "fuck you" guy wants. And since the opinions seemed split pretty evenly between "kill it" and "don't kill it", you're just sad that your side lost. Maybe I would be, too.
: We'll all land somewhere, talk on IM, find another board, maybe even set up our tents here, wherever. We'll find another IHOP, I'm sure. But we'll always remember the otherboard. Sometimes fondly, sometimes not so fondly. Whenever you care about something/someone you'll always feel the absence when it's taken away.
That was almost poetic. I've changed my mind. Kevin, keep the board. I don't want him to feel a giant, OWB-shaped hole in his soul for the rest of his life. You fat fuck.
: *disclaimer: I strictly post my opinion. I don't speak for anyone else. This is in no way meant to be a reflection of the opinions of others (even if others share my opinion) And if anyone doesn't like my opinion, then they can kiss my hairy ass.
Wow, you're like a George Carlin album cover or something. Who else -could- you be speaking for?
