I don't think anyone's forgiven him in this thread...

I do find it amusing that he's effectively begging for sympathy in a thread where he alternates between craven sniveling and bombastic slander.

He may be a coward, but I think he's deserving of our pity, if nothing else.

Will anybody else pledge money towards getting him professional help?

Nah, I'm actually mostly serious. He needs professional help, and despite it being cathartic to call him on his bullshit, I think he's in need of real help.

It doesn't mean I won't continue to call him on his cowardice, but I would also like to actually be productive.

@Abge -- I'm not asking to be forgiven in this thread....so fielder (whatever his comment was...I didn't read it) and your comment are meaningless.

@Jack....I find it amusing that you take half the shit on these threads serious. lol Mr Lawyer....aren't you supposed to be a student of humanity? Aren't you supposed to be able to read people and maniulate them to your ultimate goal? I mean....that is the goal of a lawyer.

lol I find your *very* lame attempts to insult me hillarious! I'm a coward? lol That's is *really* freaking funny, Jack. The truth is, I have more courage in my pinky tow than you possess in the entirety of your being. I'm one of the few people on this site with the courage to actually speak his mind....as opposed to someone like you. Where, Jack, have you *ever* shown courage on these threads? lol Please....

As for your being productive...you are such a meaningless piece of shit to me it is impossible for you to be productive, as regards to influencing me. In fact, if I am offending you....there's a damned good chance that i am doing something right. If I somehow were to gain Jack Klein's praise....I would have to *seriously* question myself.

Jack...you have the morality and belief system of a thief, of a thug. You very political philosophy is that philosophy of thuggery. You just think that bullying should only come from government. I despise most of what you stand for, including your perverse and degenerated profession. So....criticism from you is pretty much equal to praise.

As for the rest of you....you all who have your hysterical asinine rants at various points i time. <Yawn....> When each and every one of you dedicates yourself to never ranting, never being offensive, never insulting anyone else, etc etc etc, THEN you can talk to me. But since you are ALL so equally invested in your own ego, and the stroking of said ego --- which most often comes when you insult others -- I find you all laughable to a person. Your hypocrisy is legendary, ye who cast so many stones from your brittle, crystal homes. You people that troll these forums seeking those that you can insult and disagree with in the most vehement terms, and whom can never take criticism of your own thoughts. Each and every one of you is so full of yourself....and yet I am the bad guy?

You see...the difference is I can actually admit that I offend people....and, hell, I can admit that I do it on purpose. You fools actually believe that when you insult someone that your insults are somehow justified....and I don't mean your insults against just me...I mean your insults about anyone on any topic. I mean each of you from the right and the left of the political spectrum.

These threads are full of arrogant, self-centered, ego-centric assholes. ALL of you whom spend hours posting your opinions as if you opinion, and only yours, is correct, and imply that anyone who disagrees is a fool....you are all *exactly* the same as I am. The only difference is I spell out my disdain for you in more forceful, direct terminology.

Who is here that has disgreed with Jack Klein who can say, "Jack totally disagrees with me....but he respects my opinion!" No....when jack disagrees with you, he calls you an ignorant fool....and for some reason this is OK????

But if I call you a fucking moron I'm a jackass!!! lol

This is *completely* laughable.

And it is this pervasive hypocrisy that makes me laugh at each and every one of you right now.

Before any of you reply....let me make a suggestion. Actually READ what I just wrote and comprehend it and respond to it intelligently. MOST of you typiclaly respond to a name....not to a post. Which is yet another way in which you are all just freaking morons in my book....incapable of responding to a post that is more than 1 1/2 sentences long, because that is about the length of your MTV-generation attention span....

Have fun with this post.

@ krellin

Right. Stereotypes are generally based on fact.

Black people love watermelons, fried chicken, Kool Aid, and basketball
Muslims love to abuse women and fly airplanes into buildings
Latinos are all a bunch of illegal alien hotel maids, fruit pickers, and fast runners
Jewish people suck at sports, own small businesses, and are very frugal
Italians have big noses
French people are all a bunch of gay cowards
Evangelical Christians are all a bunch of crazy self-righteous SUV-driving pricks that are trying to enforce their personal morality on everyone else

Now, are any of the above really true for the majority of the group? Your stereotypes about cops do not prove that I am a stereotypical cop. Please stop trying pass of stereotypes as facts. For the record:

I usually do not ticket most people I pull over, irrespective of whether I know them or not.
I am loyal to my wife. My eyes do not wander any more than the next man.
I do not drink regularly, and if I do, I limit myself to two beers.
I obey all laws of the road that I am responsible for enforcing. I only speed when en route to an emergency.
To the best of my knowledge, my wife does not use my status as a cop to get out of tickets.

I could throw a few insults at you, but frankly I won't waste the time. Everyone else on the forum seems to be doing quite well. Does it ever bother you that everyone on this forum hates you? Most people strive for a good reputation, even on a completely anonymous online forum.

Sigh, here I was thinking that Krellin has been doing so well, and then I unmute CM to look at the Chuck Norris thread and see this wonderful thread of encouragement and warm fuzzy feelings.
@Krellin, like Draugnar and others mentioned, this is going way to far. So what if CM is immature. Why should it concern you? If posting here or talking about his troubles makes him feel better then let him. If it offends or annoys you so much mute him like I had (though after seeing the progress he made in this thread I don't think I will re-mute him). I just have one question for you that I would love for you to answer. What do you get out of degrading Conservative Man like this?
Jack_Klein (897 D)
19 Aug 11 UTC
This is why he's a coward. Its cowardly to slander people from behind a computer screen with a screen name not linked to your identity.

Krellin, that is the reason you're a coward and I am not. I've pointed this out before, craven. This is my name. I'm not afraid in the slightest to have this name associated with anything I'm writing.

You verbally assault somebody more than half your age from an anonymous screen name, and then have the gall to claim vindication. Go back to your booze. Maybe if you drink enough, you'll find your courage at the bottom.

I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it.

Has this been tried before?

Why is the colonial variant disabled?
I noticed that there are four other variants that are on the server yet are disabled. What is the purpose of this? Wouldn't more variants mean more gameplay for the members here? I know I'm new here so if there was a good reason before I left, I'm interested in hearing about it.

Sort of a Goodbye
School will be starting soon, so I'll have trouble keeping up with all of my games. I will definitely be taking a break, so you might not see me again until December. By then, I'm sure I'll have several new people to argue with in the forums and quite a few of you will have forgotten about me. But that's great! Wouldn't it be nice to have some worshippers on WebDiplomacy? That way I'd win every game!

I never understand why people would ever want to have one-night stands/casual hookups. If you're attracted to someone enough to fuck them, why wouldn't you want to date them? I mean, I'm sure sex is fun, but wouldn't a relationship+sex be even more fun?

Does anyone oever there--or over here, for that matter--know what's going on, ie, why these folks are rioting?

All I get in searching for it are notifications about England's...cricket team...? And a friendly? Is that it, is this all one big "soccer riot," so to speak, or has Yahoo's serach engine failed once again, and there are real, important reasons behind all this?
