I expect this im taking my ball and going home shit from the ncg crowd but for fucks sake from someone who had the line at the bottom of his post that poindexter did. Bwahhahahahahaha and you wanna be all sarcastic and shit and then as soon a the ball gets thrown back into your court you run off. Hats off to RW for how he handled this whole thing. Every one of poindexters posts contains some semi controversial element intended to illicit a response. I gave him a response. I fully admit to not understanding the dynamics here yet but is this common? Maybe I hit a little to close to bullseye? Prob the same bullseye I hit with ft which in turn elicited the responce she gave. I was just getting bored with all of the grand exits and re entrances. For people who are so quick to tell u how thick skined they are and how they don't take crap and can handle their own there sure allot of people getting tiffed and leaving recently

@ ft u should prob watch it with making personal threats like that on the net. If I didn't know u or were someone else ur problems could get a whole lot worse.
Being the nice guy I will overlook it as I know being soul read there was an eye opening experince but the next person might not be as understanding as I

I never claimed to be thick skinned. I've spent years being called everything but human (fucking whore, stupid c~^+ etc, etc) just to earn a salary. You can't hurt me. For the record - I don't care how bored you are getting with people leaving. Is your name Venter? Have you ever donated any money to keep the board running? I have. Gloat Mr. Man.

Yes you will....I know where you live And yes, I think that kid is stupid....you would actually be the smarter one for not choosing anyone rather than just choosing the least objectionable candidate. Meanwhile, I am still trying to make a decision and I look on BV as one way to help me make it. You and poindexter don't seem to me as the type to cut and run. I'm disappointed in both of you. But I still like you. You may know where I live but it doesn't mean that you'll find me here. I've thought about the election but I don't trust anyone on BV to help me decide. There's no gray with the majority of these people. I am not a black and white person. Poindexter commented somewhere that he's leaving for Cali so maybe he just cut out early. You call it cut and run; I call it getting the hell out of a place where I never belonged. As far as I'm concerned I want my old life back pre-BoroVENT. No friends, no hassles. It worked for me for a long time and it can work for me again. I like you too but enough is enough. If I knew that one of my siblings would take Mom and and not put her in a nursing home I'd finish it all off. I have had my fill of everything. By the way you can pick up your things on your way home from work some morning; just call to be sure that Mom is here or I'll mail them to you. For any smart ass who has any comments - don't bother because I don't give a damn what any of you think of me. Dislike. But I will call your mom some morning and pick up the things I loaned you. I'm not in a rush to get them back. Don't go to the expense of mailing them to me.

Being the nice guy I will overlook it as I know being soul read there was an eye opening experince but the next person might not be as understanding as I I can make a "threat" on the internet and unless there is proof that I have the means to follow through it doesn't wash. Learn a bit about the internet. I said " If you were here" which is an impossibility because you aren't here. You go on being a "nice guy" and I'll pretend that once upon a time you "liked" me. Shall we have tea?

Linda im being serious when I say you need to stop reading and posting on any forum and.get.some help. For the love of god u have actually mentioned killing ur self Look at how many times you have gotten emotionaly involved with many people on various forums.
U mention problems with co workers neighbors and most of the people u encounter online. Have u ever for one minute stopped to think that u might be the problem?
U work for the federal gov. If someone is calling u a c~^+ and a whore why would u put up with it. Im not even sure I believe what u say at this point and after mentioning suicide I would be shocked if venter even allows u to post here any more.
I know you wont seek help nor stop reading/ posting here so ill just wish u the best and hope nothing bad happens.

Well, I'd been purposely avoiding this thread all day for precisely this reason. I had my "oh shit" moment when I saw formert coming up as guest and I finally broke down. What has happened here is straight up INSANE. Let me first start by saying it was not my intention to make anyone leave borovent. At the time of poindexters post I did not think it was a joke, nor did I find it amusing. I think I made that pretty clear in my initial response. I didn't think it was a joke for a few reasons but mainy becasue it came, as fatsam pointed out out of nowhere, in response to nothing, and it was specifically addressed to me. Whether I think it was a joke now or not is irrelevent. I didn't find it amusing because that is exactly the kind of slight that people with an interest in maintaining the status quo consistently use as a means to discredit those who question conventional wisdom. I found it disappointing because poindexter had been critical in the past of people being "sheep" and the mainstream media's similar dismissals of other groups, namely the Occupy Wall St protestors yet here he was turning around and doing it himself. People naturally seek the respect and approval of their peers and that kind of labeling stifles the exchange of ideas and intellectual curiosity. I don't take that as a joke. Ever. The rest of what happened with poindexter is none of my concern. I was enjoying our discussion right up to the point where he tried to make me out to be some kind of nut because I question the role of our federal government, the IRS, the FED etc etc. And to those who think I should have just bit my tongue because of some tag line on poindexters profile and that I should have known better to you all I say FUCK THAT. I don't abridge my speech for nobody and definitely not because of some silly tag line on the profile of a guy I don't even know posting on the internet. That doesn't mean I want him gone, that doesn't mean I think his contributions to this board aren't worthwhile, and that doesn't mean I wouldn't have engaged him in the future in a respectful manner. Now, let's get back to business shall we? I think this has wasted enough time.

BTW FT, did you know Michelle Bachman made the same comment about Cain and his 9-9-9 plan? Did you see her face when she delivered that line? She was sooooo pleased with herself. I laughed my ass off. The more the other candidates make jokes about it the more I think there's something to it. Just like the point I've been driving home since my spat with poindexter it's infinitely easier to just play the man off as being crazy than it is to definitively prove his plan won't work.

Sorry, lifesaver, truly sorry. You are one of the people I met here who made my life special. But...life isn't a fairy tale and I'm not a princess. No, life isn't a fairy tale. But you might be a princess This story is for you: The Independent Princess Once upon a time, in a land far away, a beautiful, independent self-assured princess happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the shore of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle. As she sat quietly in her thoughts a frog hopped up into the princess' lap and said, "Elegant Lady, I was once a handsome prince until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss from you however, and I will turn back into the dapper young prince that I am and then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle with my mother, where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel grateful and happy doing so. That night, as the princess dined sumptuously on lightly sauteed frog legs she chuckled to herself and thought, "I don't fucking think so."

And that brings me to this question for you concerning Herman Cain. If it's true that the FEDS don't speak out against each other, then why do you think that Cain would have a plan that to my understanding speaks against everything that the FEDS stand for? Wouldn't that be like shooting yourself in the political foot? And another question that I would like to pose to anyone out there. Why can't there be a simple formula to come up with for the taxing of the American people? How can the average American make an educated vote on a candidate who advocates tax reform when our present system is so complicated you need a degree in financing, accounting, and economics to understand it? Why do some people pay H&R block to do a simple tax return? It just doesn't make sense to me.

If honesty is too much for you here's this - you are a loathsome, judgemental little man and I laugh at you and your profession. That's all folks.

By the way, Spellchecker, your buddy APK had the gall to come to my FB wall and insult me in defense of you. FIA - he told me to ask my friends what it means. I don't know and I don't care. This site has become a quagmire of nonsense but since it annoys Nick so much - Linda is staying. FTHOI.

It wasn't really your posts that made me come off the sidelines. If anything it was more for ortannaoracle and the rest of the thin skin contingency. I will tell you though that I don't believe you were simply engaging in some good natured ribbing. I believe that's your story now, but I don't believe it was your original intent. I have trouble believing you now because it's pretty clear you set out to be snarky and dismissive right from the very beginning of the thread. Mr Wolfcastle didn't let the childish needling take him off point and he continued on in a very respectful manner. I guess you must have thought you needed to ratchet it up a little so you came up with that oh so clever list. One problem, he wasn't posting in the thread anymore. So there you sat just waiting for an opportunity to unload your clever little dig. That list sat burning a hole in your head for days, the horror. But you weren't about to let such a clever response go unused and after a few days you just couldn't help yourself. You came back and posted it out of nowhere, in response to nothing, and just to make sure there was no mistake you addressed the post specifically to Mr Wolfcastle. At that point you achieved what you had set out to do right from the very beginning. You finally managed to get under someones skin. Like a small child you just kept pushing buttons until you hit the right one. Now your story is "I was just joking around". That would have to be the story now wouldn't it? Because if you were just joking around that only makes you juvenile and mildly annoying. And if you weren't joking around? Well then everything Mr Wolfcastle wrote in response to you is spot on and you're a hypocrite with limited intellectual capabilities. I don't blame you for trying to sell the "It was just a joke" story now, after the fact. After all being juvenile and annoying, while less than ideal, is still way better than being a hypocrite with limited intellectual capabilities. Of course, this is just one man's opinion and I could be totally wrong. It seemed perfectly obvious to me what poindexter was doing with his list. Which is why I responded in kind. I do think you were "totally wrong". Are you suggesting that I'm in the thin-skin clan? I've been hanging out on message boards since the late 90s, I've got plenty of scars which I ignore. My "one man's opinion": there are many here who don't belong in the kitchen.

Why do some people pay H&R block to do a simple tax return? It just doesn't make sense to me. I knew there was an on topic post in here somewhere. I think the biggest change we need is to take back control of our monetary policy from the FED. 6 out of 10 people on the street don't know that there's nothing Federal about the Federal Reserve system. That they are not a government entity. The old crack is that they're as Federal as Federal Express. As a former FED chair I wonder where Cain's allegiances are. This is a major issue for me. The 9-9-9 plan will most certainly cost the government revenue. I don't really have a problem with that. Even Cain's own camp says it will never happen though. The thought is that we're so entrenched in our current system that it would cause too much of a shock to make such a big change. Of course, the people saying that are also the ones that said we needed to bail out Wall St. or the world would end so you have to take that with a grain of salt. I think this all ties back into your point about the complexities of the tax code being ridiculous. It's a billion dollar industry unto itself at this point. Can't make it simpler because what would happen to all those jobs if every American could do their own taxes. Could you imagine the unemployment that would cause? Oh the humanity. I hear that excuse applied a lot to a multitude of situations. We need to take our medicine. It's not going to taste good but it'll be worse the longer we put it off.

How did your weekend homework that we discussed turn out? I hope it went well. OO Who figured that he'd go for the jugular on FB? We don't talk to each other. Guess it was a man thing. The weekend homework was begun but not completed. Congressman Platt's office arranged for me to speak with someone from OPM in order to receive correct information. I have more homework this weekend and if I come to a decision I'll finish the homework on Monday. Sadly, OPM has encountered a tremendous backlog due to other agencies offering retirees cash buyouts.

For the record, I found it odd that PD would play the conspiracy card and found no humor in the post either.

It doesn't seem like your issue is really with me but I want to clarify that I wasn't calling you or anyone else thin skinned. I admit to not knowing the dynamic here. For example I didn't know that Poindexter was such a renowned smart ass that he automatically got a pass because everybody should know better. None of this really matters anymore though does it? I think the thin skinned thing has been sufficiently resolved. You must at least find it ironic that the person you thought was being overly sensitive has already put the whole thing behind him and moved on while the renowned smart ass couldn't take being criticized even once by a newbie and cut bait. That in itself speaks volumes to me and should at least open you up to the possibility that I wasn't" totally wrong". Maybe only %80

I finally figured out what put you on the attack Spellchecker. I said "If I knew that one of my siblings would take Mom and and not put her in a nursing home I'd finish it all off. I have had my fill of everything."
In my usual way I didn't say what I meant and I should have known that someone would get it wrong...this time.
I've been a caretaker since I was 6 years old. First to 4 younger brothers, then my daughter and for 19 years my mom. "Finish it offf" "Hit the road" "Chuck it all" "Beat feet out of town" is what I meant and what I should have said.
Too bad, so sad.

Mr. OrrtannaOracle, When I told FT about FIA, I was referring to foot in ass. I told her to ask two of our mutual friends what it means.
Poindexter left over those comments, I guess that is his decision but sheesh, talk about being a little wimp and crying about nothing.
As far as Herman Cain's plan goes, it is starting to grow on me but Mr. OrrtannaOracle and Rainier Wolfcastle sirs, it does involve changing the whole tax code, so you cant it is going to bring less money because a lot of the studies of his plan have been done using the current system.

For the record, I found it odd that PD would play the conspiracy card and found no humor in the post either. Carry on you crazy fucks...... Hey, Mr. Blonde, I missed this previously. Glad I gave you a laugh. Since Spellchecker has deemed me crazier than bat shit I'm taking a hiatus - or perhaps a permanent leave - from this psych ward. Hell, I'm not crazy - I just have a red hot temper that I don't always keep under control. FYI Spellchecker, your spelling drove me damned near crazy but I kept my criticisms to myself. You might have done the same with my departures and returns since they didn't affect you. Anyway, since there's no more BV in my future to the folks who know me personally - forget we ever met. For the ones who never met me - be grateful for your good luck. Facebook has become a bore but I just renewed my Pogo membership so while you're all solving social problems near and far I'll be playing MahJong, Poppit and sundry other mindless games. I did have a few witty comments about the chicken farm but I'll just chuckle over them myself. Lest I forget, APK, thank you for your encouragement. I owe you. One last thing - you people can see the Donate button so click on it from time to time. You're getting a space to rip on people so the least you can do it pay to play. Adieu, adieu to you and you and you.
