it wasn't controversial enough, huh?

here's some controversy for you:

love you, bumper.

i love you, todd.

on with the battle.

Joe, Todd really is the last one to start things up. Because no one can really follow where he goes. We just take him or leave him alone depending on how the wind is blowing on any given day. He might now post something totally offensive in repsonse to this..or he might not. You can never be sure ahead of time.

Now, Nathen, he can stir things up. He just posts some kind of love and peace type thing and all hell breaks loose. We don't exactly know why.

nathen comes from a place deep in the apple-chains, powered by ginseng, eccentric, he's cool
Todd, i dont give a flyin f**k who's names on the thread, yu post your shit, whine, pout & then, when confronted about your actions, leave....bye....., you wont violate it, you can kissit, though

Are you sure you're really Bumper?

Wow! I spend a Sunday visiting, turn my back on this site for a day, & things sure got--uh--interesting all of a sudden.

Heeheee sure Pat, why u ask....?
ok, I'll shift gears & be more "Bumperesque"
Let's look at Todd's last post, and how it falls on a syntax scale of emotional maturity, shall we....? good!!!
1st. he "gender-shifts" refering to me as "she", that's about a 10, 12 yr old level, when sexual identity is shaky & insecurities rage. It's also an adolescent way of attempting to assert male dominance...
then he trots out "shit for brains" thats used by early teen males, trying out profanity, for shock value.
Ah, but, most indicative, is the line... "it was my thread to begin with" me,me, mine mine, yet in the past tense, that's what? 5,6 year old petulence?
so, what we have here is, Todd, regressing, before our eyes...
maybe if we sing a couple verses of the "Garden Song" & tuck him in, ooops, no!! thats a scary song, for kids... oh well, on to a grown-up thread........

but, todd didn't start it, bumper... neither the thing with joe, nor the thing with you. i've recently had a case where a person kept posting to a forum, explaining every minute thing he deigned that i'd done wrong in a situation, (apparently saying hello to a chatter is attacking them), and then he'd end his posts with "and i hope that ends it." when i responded with the truth of the matter he called my post, "childish bickering." it seems like almost like this situation, where todd posts, and then his post is torn apart for "what it means".

if you don't want a response, you shouldn't post one. this IS todd's thread. don't pass it on, boss - they can't handle it!

forgive me...i was wrong..damn close to delerious yesterday!

i meant no harm to either joe or bumper.

the she remark was an attempt at humor...referenced from my past wives...
"don't start what you can't finish!"

bumper is right..close the thread, arnie!

thank you, Todd, you are a worthy & able jouster
Star? you left a smoldering ember, there, in a joust that was not your own..
"they" are quite capable....... some combatants, in a classic tradition, "know" when the battle has been waged to conclusion, and when to bow to each other, and walk away, each with a trophy of awareness, without judgement or rancor

Yeah. Sorry, I saw that time as right after Pat's brilliant post. Still do.

I accept that, star, but oh no, I'm not a Black Knight, beige, maybe even butterscotch, but not Black. Black Irish, yes, but not a Black Knight

didn't close it yet todd... just changed the window dressing...
