mike's comments keep the place human. and they make me laugh. mike is not spamming, unless i don't understand what the word means. and why are you going to start a fight by singling someone out. mike has been a part of this community for a long time, and in my little own opinion he's been an important part of it. and a welcome part.

thanks wc.

it would all be beside the point anyways, had there even been one.

i've moved on due to everything being fine, and also not really giving a crap.

if someone prefers me to be different, i prefer them to shut their poo spouts.

i'll leave it up to the mods as to who gets their preference first.

whether that's fair or not, i don't know. all i know is i never told anybody that "they should just go read another thread," savemeaseat.

now savemeaseat. you know that's not true.

of course, my opinion of what "just about EVERY thread" means is probably different from yours.

I see M3K as the rodeo clown of the forums. When the thread is getting rough or aggro, he steps in and puts something ridiculous that makes some laugh, makes some stop arguing, and makes some go away. I would prefer any of those options than an all out fight or a pretentious poster that makes someone leave all together.

it's all good in this neighborhood.

I dig people, and you were just being as harsh and flamebaiting at me in response, probably why you edited your posts later.

Perhaps I misspoke when I said spamming, it is more along the lines of flooding... and like it or not I think you actually took something from it. I haven't seen any thousand lined blank posts from you as of late, and that's all I could really ask for. I know this post will be met with one, I've come to terms with that, but how is that expressing yourself, how is that a portrayal of the mike we know? Even flooding with gay porn has more personality than that, but when changabang did it here it got censored (rightfully so, I'm not making an argument otherwise). I guess the devout mike followers can ascribe to the theory that it's suspense, but I don't believe it.

It's nice that you quote that song which in its first line tells you to be understanding, because I remember making a plea for it in this thread and was met with immaturity from a kid sticking his fingers in his ears going "lalalalalalala."

if i edited my harshness reacting to your post, it was to make my post more harsh, not less. and for that, i apologize. i apologize for my mistakes, i don't edit them out. truly.

> Perhaps I misspoke

you didn't misspeak, you started shit, which was a mistake. you're not a mod, so don't tell people what to do and what not to. don't get me wrong, you can ask someone something politely, but even then, don't expect to get your way. places like this, it's a highway, and we're all drivers. you aren't a cop no matter what you think. though you probably have a cop mustache.

you sound like you think i'm maliciously annoying you. i'm not. i'm just being me, and i didn't mean to annoy you. you're annoying me right now, but it's not like i'd ever tell you to knock it off, and it's not like i'm not going to get over it in just a couple seconds here. you be you, i be me. let's get past this in gentlemanandwomanly fashion, shall we?

that's your opinion, asshole, and everybody's got one so yours ain't worth shit. that was my original answer to your comment. my well thought out answer is: "whatevs!"

i miss changabang.

do you care what i believe? when you do, i'll return the favor.

"do I contradict myself? very well, then I contradict myself, i am large, i contain multitudes." so do you, and i accept that. your turn! i pasted the lyrics to that song because i was moving on, getting past what i'd said in the past, because i knew i was being harsh on you. but i already apologized for that and you don't get two.

yours wasn't a plea. it was a screed. a complaint. a bitch. a moan. a sad song. a crying shame.

and here's why.

I don't think the post you last responded to was directed at you. Well, I know it wasn't directed at you, but I don't really feel like naming names.

As usual, I don't really know or care what's going on in any thread that's not expressly about Sweden or the DCL, I just thought I would clarify based on the few posts I have read.

just my 2 cents on the complaints about mike...

i usually find his posts useless and annoying (not trying to offend you here, man, i promise). but guess what?! i don't have to read his posts. and neither do you. if mike posts on a thread that i'm reading, i usually just scroll down past his post til the next one. simple enough.

p'raps instead of nastiness, this thread can take a turn for the better and maybe john can come on back and see some nice stuff on here for a change.

I LOVE ALL Y'ALLS AND ALL YER DIFFERENCES THAT AMOUNT TO SAMENESSES.

can ye say the same wit me?

this place is even steven, as far as i'm concerned, and should always be. ain't that america? the home of the free?

and yeah, i been drinkin. so fuckin what.

see, i hate the ones i love. they FORCE me to love them by just existing as they are. now, if they were to ever be different from what they were, which they couldn't, because you are you no matter what you do, then i might have to rethink things.

but as things are, this place is a place to go that exists and i love it because it's here.

and anything that needs more than that can drink dick polyp juice.

what i means is, FUKKIT. who cares. we're all gonna be worm food real soon in the grand scheme.

love and hate equally, as long as they last only a moment each.

and the long slogs between should be filled with the mountain goats.

amen and god bless whoever thought of red wine.

Oh my. That may be one of my favoritest posts ever!

Tis true though, if it wasn't for finding this place (a year and a half ago !!) I wouldn't have very many friends. But as it stands, thanx to these forums, I have a bunch of really wonderful friends from all over the world! From England (even if they don't consider me a friend anymore), to Burbank, to San Jose, to Seattle, to Portland, to Ohio, to St. Louis, to Philly, to Chicago, to Kentucky... and all points in between! I love that I have so many people to share things with even if it is just online.

So, yup, I know I am really super thankful that this place exists. My life would be a whole lot emptier without it.
