#2 And in memory of the late Frank Burns could we all remember the greatest of them all, Jack Benny and his side kicks.

"Get a breath of that country air, breath the beauty of it everywhere, rise up early, the day wont let you sleep."

#4 Actually, DBT, "Nuke DBT" might be even more popular, fuckwit.

Sorry Steve. Truth can be a bitch. DBT is a biatch.

#9 seesm like theres some confusio about whether RB is "a VRWC website" or a site for discussion of military and intelligence matters, albeit one with "attitude". Fred has been pretty clear about this in the past, but some folks cant get past their own obsessions to see it.

#10 Steve, I've already hit the tip jar and I take no responsibility for the querrelous and verbose arguing of the Leftist trolls that come here and post reams of disinformaton.
If you don't like my input, I have other things to do than post here.

#11 And Steve, I don't appreciate being named "first" as one of the biggest abusers.
I try to keep my answers as short and as necessary as possible.
Some thanks I get for my (paid-for) input.

Yes, and it was delicious.

#19 
Actually, the thread rose to quite a high intellecutal plane -- concluding with a discussion of various thoughts of the English philosopher G. K. Chesterton (a liberal, but objectively on the side of the conservatives).

#24 I like the heated and intense discussions and debates. I have never liked the personal attacks. It gets us too far into the storm drain below the gutter.

#29 Robert> Because I'm not the one who called people "cunts".

Or to put it in another way, because I don't want to do so enough that it would suffice to keep me away, the knowledge I would no longer be so annoyed at ignorance, frustrated at stupidity, or aggravated at insult.

#30 If you'd go away, Aris, 80% of the flamewars would go with you.

#34 "So would 80% of the intelligence."

Nah, that would only happen if .com were to leave us.

Speaking of leaving (for good), didn't you promise to do just that? And now you are back. What gives?

#35 docob> Not sure if you could count it as a "promise", or merely as a statement of what I intended to do. After all it wasn't done to satisfy any of your pleas, it had been my own desire to leave.

When I had said it, I had meant it. I regretted it, because as I said I found I could not keep away -- Rantburg's too informative for that. Nor could I stay silent in the face of stupidity.

If you did, there wouldn't be any.

#37 "After all it wasn't done to satisfy any of your pleas"

I never asked you to leave, much less plead with you to do so.

"Nor could I stay silent in the face of stupidity."

I and many other RB'ers obviously have the same affliction.

#38 "your" was meant in the plural, not yours personally docob.

#39 Orson> Yeah, when people's ONLY available retort is to call me "goatfucker" and "cunt", that's a sign of truly ASTOUNDING portions of intelligence.
They certainly succeed in revealing my own stupidity.

Their other remaining tactic is to accuse me of instigating flamewars and "hijacking threads". Which is only true in the sense that you can't have antisemetism without jews, you can't have fire with air, you can't have pain without life. Drive away everyone who disagrees with the majority opinion, and you won't have flamewars either.

Then again you could also choose not to have flamewars if you did away with the insults.
