Fuck you asshole.

If you paid any attention at all you'd know I have no history of deleting diaries.  

I couldn't care less about this dispute.

Fuck me?

No Fuck you.

I guess you can't take what you let others dish out.

You let this fuckhead say anything he wants about me here even though you were on your high horse a couple of weeks ago on kos saying you don't let people use your site to attack kossaks unless they cross post.

If a friend hadn't emailed this piece of shit I wouldn't have known about it.

As soon as I call you on it, it's "fuck me".

Shame on you.

Let's make rope!

you're a kossack now?  

I never noticed.  I have no idea what either of you are talking about, no idea who is telling the truth,  no inclination to try to figure it out, and even less reason to care.

I've been a kossak longer than I have been here.

I don't care whether you have the time or inclination to figure out that the slug is a lying piece of shit.

This isn't the first time he has used your site to attack kossaks.

The last time it was RedDan, Avila, thl lib, and judging by the comments in his diary some here thought he was even taking shots at meteorblades.

This crap diary even begs markos to ban me so I'm at a loss to understand your last post.

Do what you want but the next time you post on kos that you don't let others use your site to smear kossaks I won't be defending you, as I have in the past.

Let's make rope!

You don't understand the rule.  But I don't really feel like explaining it to you.  If anyone cares, which I kind of doubt, maybe they will explain the rule to you.

I didn't even know you existed until now, and I certainly never noticed you "defending" me.  

It looks to me like you have a fan club at Free Republic and they think you are a stand up guy.  That's great.  I'm happy for you.  

Go be a prick over there where that is expected.  I am not in the habit of arbitrating disputes over who is a troll, who is not a troll, and who is a big shot over in freeperville.

you are.

Do you have any idea why those 4 freepers like me? Obviously not

Do I give a fuck about freepers thinking I'm an honest lefty? No

Do I care about some piece of shit writing diaries about me full of lies? Yes because assholes like the first respondent link to them on kos when they don't like being told they are wrong and need to smear.

Do I give a fuck what rule you are going to hide behind to excuse your bullshit attitude? No, not in the slightest.

You think the slug is worth letting your site look like a cesspool of banned kossaks smearing people that's your right, But I'm dying to see you ban me for calling you a hypocrite instead of the slug for smearing people without having the courtesy of even trying to prove his claims.

BTW I'm not a member of FR you jerk. And I wouldn't be a prick if you acted like a responsible site owner now would I.

How many diaries are there on kos calling you a paid troll? How many diaries on kos are there calling you a piece of shit?

Not including this one, or any about me, there are a few here by this diarist alone you should be ashamed of, and calling me a prick just makes you look like those assholes that can't admit they are wrong and instead try and bully.

i love jerkoffs that ask to be banned.

I don't really know how you got a reputation as an honest lefty at free republic.  I think that's fanstastic.  It gives you a kind of bipartisan sheen.  Adds to your credibility when you come here and act like a tool.  

You don't seem to understand that I don't read most of the diaries, let alone try to figure out if they're sufficiently fact-checked.  I don't consider you a Kossack, no matter what you claim, anymore than I consider you a member of this site.  In any case, you don't qualify under the rule which you don't understand.  

This guy says you're a dick, which is readily self-evident from both your behavior here and a cursory look at your obnoxious behavior at DailyKos.  As for whether he is correct about you being some paid troll, I don't know, and I don't give a shit.  

Defend yourself here against his accusations.  That's your right.  But don't be a prick, and don't ask me to defend your honor.  I only reacted to seeing several comments where you made snide remarks about me not deleting this diary.  If you knew shit, you would know I don't delete diaries without extreme cause.   If you can win this debate, and maybe you can, you shouldn't be appealing to me to delete it.  Just prove your case and be done with it, without a bunch of whining, name-calling, and bugging me about it.  

Next time you hang with your freeper fan club tell them I said hello.

you act like I give a shit about what you think. You pretend I asked you to defend my honor, when clearly I asked only that you practice what you preach. Your arbitrary "extreme circumstances" clause might make you feel like you aren't a hypocrite but it doesn't do anything other than give you an out when called on the contradictions.

Your cursor glance at my "obnoxious behavior" on kos is also meaningless, as is your assertion that you don't consider me a kossak. My uid is 38k and I've been a trusted user for a long time.

As for my freeper fan club; grow the fuck up. If you looked at my posts at kos, even quickly, you would see these freepers don't like me because I'm sympathetic to their ideology. They seem to like me because I happen to tell the truth. Even though most of the time I'm telling the truth about what morally bankrupt cretins their heroes are, the four the slug mentioned have the intellectually honestly to not only like me when I'm calling out the Leopold and Bev Harris types.

The funny/sad part of your post is you calling me a dick for coming to this diary with guns blazing considering the two people I was rude to have spent considerable time trying to discredit me all over the net because they won't answer simple questions about the claims they make.

That you don't see all of the diaries, or have people that do for you, is YOUR FAULT. This is your site.

IMO the only way you can credibly say this and the other kossak callout diaries written by the slug don't rise to extreme circumstances is if you can point me to your definition of extreme.

Have you written that diary / post against e-voting yet?

BTW, the only time I've called you out is on my diary and on this one (since you pointed it out to me on my other diary).

And you will be called out again and again if you show up anywhere near my diary.

Keep it up and the only place you will be posting is in Freeperville -- and that would kind of defeat your purpose, wouldn't you say?

Thank You for not Impeaching the War Criminals and Terrorist Enablers.

you think your bullshit will get me banned from kos? You think this piece of shit will?

Have I ever once posted at the freeppit?

You think you called me out in your diary? HAHA you were told several times by commenter's you blew your diary with your insanity instead of answering the questions. I think one kossaks called you "creepy".

Keep thinking you did anything other than make yourself and brad look shady as shit, that way you will continue making my life exposing the liars much easier.

I think you need to reread the comments section of your diary if you are uncertain as to my opinions on e-voting.

And finally, you better watch who you claim hasn't done anything to protect elections.

I have been counting and protecting Canadian votes for decades.

I have been working to elect progressives for longer.

Brad has been REPORTING about e-voting for 2 years. Ever since he realized he could make a living doing it instead of the marginal writing only DU was publishing.

Do the fuckin research.

Shut the fuck up

To deal with this I created the so-called Catch-22 rule, which basically says that you can't post diaries at BT that are personal attacks on the front-pagers at Daily Kos unless you are willing to cross-post them at Daily Kos.  Very few people are willing to do this.  And if you are banned here, you can't do it, and thus can't use BT as a platform to bash people like you and Armando and Kos, etc.

I never wanted my site to be an anti-Kos site and I have done my best to limit the fallout of a regular influx of alienated refugees.  But, it makes it more difficult when you make comments like this.  

We can debate all the topics of the day and our differing philosophies, but we don't need the FP'ers to mischaracterize the communities, or say that my site is 'for' being pissy.

Thanks,

Boo

No FP's. But the little people are fair game. Gotcha loud and clear. How egalitarian of you.
