Clearly, many readers relish seeing bungdoo kicking the shiate out of the two bullies. Which reminds me; I'm a little bit perplexed about something... obviously you're one of the bullies he's rendered a quivering wad of foo, but who the Hee...Hee...Hee...L is the other one?

I just glanced at that number and, yeah, that's a lot of views for a more recent topic.

I know you remember when the board was a little more populated and this place thrived on the WWF sh!t. Some would form little tag teams of "cyber friends" and cheer when some poor newb bar steward was worked over by the leader of their little clique. Any comment contrary to what a clique member posted could trigger a response from other dunces. Ah, those were the daze...

I probably am one of the bullies that 2mega is kicking and he has caused me to buy several extra boxes of tissue. He doesn't realize that words can hurt. <sniff, Ike grabs another Kleenex here and composes himself...>

The other bully is probably some poor soul who called 2mega on the bigoted carp he posts. I do pity that person when 2mega really lays on the cyber whipping. Phew! I haven't mentally sorted through all the current posters yet, but I'll figure it out. Any ideas?

Some folks call me and this dude bigots.

Well, there is something I've "seen", --- that being how often things that you consider to be obvious to you, in reality, aren't factual.

Shock... amigo, if you want to stalk old posts, get it. Though I suspect you didn't mean it that way, it's almost flattering.

Your suspects are correct.

Silly me, I thought your little Nazi buttie was my only stalker. Turns out you two great minds think alike... in many ways.

My "little Nazi buttie"?
"Two great minds think alike"?
Hmmmmmm, -----
I see.
And in your mind, we're stalkers who picked you to stalk?
Interesting.
If it's not too much of a bother for you I'd be interested in being informed of the "many ways" we "obviously" go about accomplishing that --- and is it "obvious" to anyone else that you know of who will admit that they also think we're doing so?

You're clearly a full time blogger, a good one, with plenty of time to do that.

OOoooo!
That tickled.
Uhhhh, .....
Is "clearly" the same as "obviously" to your way of thinkin'?
The reason I ask is if, to you, I'm "clearly a full time blogger", it's obvious to me that your observations and resultin' conclusion(s) leave much to be desired.
Although, that you even suggest that I'm a good one is flattering.
ThanX!
It just tickles my butt when you say stuff like that.

See, ....... it's like this, ---- whenever I'm not familiar with a subject being discussed by someone who claims to be knowledgeable on said subject, I extend a certain amount of trust that they actually are correct.
I'll admit that I'm curious as to what would cause a person to want to misrepresent themselves and why they'd give in to the urge. I also ask myself if the reason(s) are really even important, considering the circumstances.
There's a lot at stake, --- there's a matter called trust.
Trust is important, .... generally not something to chance losin'.
Trust is a lot like time.
Once trust is lost, ...... can it ever be regained?
Personally?
I think the answers are both the same.

On the flip side of that coin, when I am in possession of knowledge pertaining to a subject being discussed and someone who claims to know what they're talkin' 'bout is obviously incorrect and refuses to even consider that possibility,..... sadly, I tend to distrust that person from that point on, ... in many ways.
And for many reasons.

If you want food fight, I'll admit I'd be no match,

You might admit it, but in your head you don't really believe that.

and I'm not interested anyway.

Are you tellin' me that you're not interested in food fights in general?, ..... or just not with me?

If, on the other hand, you want to discuss something, even trucking related, I'll make time for that.

Really?!
You'd do that for me?
Gosh, ....... I'm overwhelmed by your magnanimity Ghost0.
I don't know what to say.

I'll even get the ball rolling...

What?
Another game?
Roll-Over?

and within the context of this thread.

Oh, all right.
You go first.

I believe those who defend bigots are bigots...

Well, DuH.
Ya reckon they might have somethin' in common that they'd both be inclined to defend?
Seems to me if we follow your logic a tad farther, --- if a bigot didn't "defend" another bigot, ... that non-defensive bigot wouldn't actually be a bigot? Membership immediately cancelled, ...... indefinitely?
Or until they take a refresher course to be a better BIGot, ..... next time?
HeY!
Here's one for ya, ...... if a dude who wasn't a BIGot, "defended" another guy who said he wasn't, --- but actually [u]is[/i], .... would the dude, in your personal opinion, have to be reclassified as a hostile BIGot because the dude "defended" the guy's right to be as BIG, or little of a ot as the guy wants to be?, --- or circumvent all the bovine excrement all-together and label the judge as a Pettifool Pettifog?

I'm thinkin' all this to-do is confusin'.
What's your take Ghost0?

they're just too cowardly to admit it.

Well, ....... OK,.... maybe a tad over-simplified, butt --- admittedly, that's a good point.
I bow to your experience in that regard.

I think that's you, Shock.

To be perfectly honest here, that doesn't surprise me in the least.
Butt to be sure we're on the same page, remind me, --- exactly what do you "think" is me?
I forget now, .....

....... Memory, ......
.......Second thang to go .......
....... don't'cha know.

I leave y'all with what Francis Burney, (1752 --> 1840), a British author, wrote, --- obviously sometime betwixt those years,
But I don't know why.
Perhaps one, or more, of the millions of potential readers following this intense drama will be so bold as to venture an opinionated, darned good and believable explanation.

Those who wander in the world avowedly and purposely in pursuit of happiness, who view every scene of present joy with an eye to what may succeed, certainly are more liable to disappointment, misfortune and unhappiness, than those who give up their fate to chance and take the goods and the evils as they come, without making happiness their study, or misery their foresight.

Does that make sense to y'all?

HeY!
Check it out!
I went all the way through this here post
and didn't even
digress
once, --- till now.

I just couldn't resist the urge.
My bad.

Got a list? Come to think of it, you probably do.

Does that make sense to y'all?

I don't think any of it makes sense, any more than I think it makes sense finding "present joy" in racists and bigots, and I doubt “y'all,” whoever that is, does either.

That's not to say I don't understand it. And, I gotta' tell ya Shock, I have nothing bad to say about it. It's the usual cloud of circular logic, blog insult and inuendo, only this time with some “Fanny's Journal” trown in. (By the way, I think it's appropriate you would choose to impress us with one her quotes. She could most definitely write the talk, but her legacy is that of a dishonest, controlling old bitty.) And it's long – that's always good. I guess about all that's left is for bung to show up with the bouquet and declare you more brilliant than the sun... the Grand Wizard of the Lounge.

How good is a trucking job? It depends on many things.
If it's truly the job of your dreams, then research it further, to find out the skills required and a 'true to life' job description, to see if it still is appealing to you. Many wanna be truckers are disillusioned when they discover what a trucker's job description involves.

“Smart Trucking Gal” huh? I have my doubts. Apparently you aren't even smart enough to spam this "too lame to have a real moderator" forum with the correct link to your own web site.

On the positive side, the moderators Layover does have aren't bright enough to recognize spam, or are too lazy to delete it, so you and this other idiot are still here.

Way to go Layover!

[juno_hoo]

The first thing that caught my eye on "Smart Trucking" website was the heaviest, most expensive and least fuel efficient truck on the planet. That's smart???

The second thing is that the site offers nothing that isn't readily available elsewhere. Smart....

[Smart Trucking Gal]

I'll take the 'high road' here. As the saying goes, 'you can't please all of the people all of the time'. Each to their own.

In the unlikely event you ever visit this site again...

You know what STG? You're absolutely right – you did take the “high road,” and I feel badly about dumping my smartass remarks on you.

My only excuse is that at the time of my post I did not know that, even though we've been told repeatedly by Layover it is not, and for reasons confusing to me and maybe a couple of others... free advertising is welcomed on this forum. Anything from t-shirts, shoes, nail polish, real estate, porn, watches, other trucking sites – you name it, it's all good.

Again, I offer an apology for my “remarks without resume,” and would like to visit your site in the near future. I hope it does well – a worthwhile trucking site with a properly moderated discussion board would be great. You'd never know it to look at it now, but this once was one.
