Yes, I was vague. I did mean Old Git. No, you won’t get rid of me from GifS so easily. I have an extremely tough skin having dealt with many bullies over my lifetime. They don’t bother me. I can just quit reading your comments if I wish to continue enjoying the more creative and intellectually stimulating views of other commentators here. Lickity split! No harm done to me. I’m sure your contributions will hardly be missed.

Then quit harping on it. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon. Makes little spittle to me – I do this for free.

As long as someone else was addressing my comments and I decided to respond to their statements one can properly call it “communication” or “discussion”, which hardly indicates OCD. As a commentator here you should be slightly familiar with the process. If I had a therapist I’d recommend him/her to you.

Oh wow, I misdiagnosed you! Did it irritate you in the slightest? Imagine how I felt when accused of something as idiotic as ‘revering’ a comic book character.
I can hear your voice now (in the imitation of Vera Demilo: “Oh, but you used the c-word & threatened to punch him. You’re wrong, no matter what now!”
Honestly, I don’t give anybody free passes. You talk stupid to me, I’ll tell you about it. You accuse me of stupid crap, you’ll get an honest response. I don’t care if you’re an old man, a woman, or what. NO FREE PASSES.
Here’s my other yardstick: I won’t say anything online that I wouldn’t say to your face. I’m not a hypocrite, a coward, or a bully.
Your inability to see this doesn’t impress me in the slightest.
Anyways, this is getting tedious.

Lynda, I am speaking as KA’s fellow moderator from a neutral standpoint in all this, and I and many others here appreciate his “Sunday Sermons” which he puts great work and effort into, and yes…those would be missed my many of us.

And Lynda, despite what TOG wants to make it appear at his site, I for one harbor no “hostility” towards you for standing up for him. After all, you aren’t aware of the circumstances of his first leaving. Putting all this aside, Lynda, your comments and your own perspectives on topics add much to our discussions.

If TOG wants to comment further, he is not blocked or banned and he does have people who enjoy reading his comments. He is free to comment here if he wishes. If he chooses to storm off in a huff again (only this time he can’t make a mess of the archives, thank goodness! ), then that is sad, but his choice.

(And as for TOG suggesting that his comments are being deleted, I can assure you that they have not been as I am pretty much the only one who does “housekeeping” of that sort around here. The only comments deleted are advertisements in the spam folder, and the occasional fundie Xian or Muslim who comes by to tell us we are going to burn in Hell. )

I think that most everyone has moved on to new topics and aren’t even interested in this post anymore. So, we should just move on from here. We all need to be less touchy here.

ChuckA, I agree. This whole “warring” over a mere image is a bit ridiculous. We should be able to respectfully disagree without being condescending, hateful and personal attacks towards each other in our little clubhouse here. It’s been a long time since there has been this sort of exchange amongst fellow atheists. I hope in the future we all can agree to disagree without being so touchy about it. The good news in the copy of the post has been lost in a heated debate over a fictional character, just proving that if it isn’t religion humans will fight with each other about other things. It will always be something.

Also, I read your “apology” to Old Git. Not much of one, is it? At Old Git’s blog you threaten to hit him were he within striking distance which suggests you may need to consider anger management classes.

Well, obviously, you need to work on reading comprehension. He said some of the most vile shit about me, & they WERE fighting words. In fact, I think they’re actionable.

I found your response to Old Git’s initial comments here very disturbing and I am fearful that someone with a great ability to think critically is no longer going to visit GifS as a result.

I don’t think that person is you, but okay. In fact, you’re still fussing about that stupid picture, which is indicative of OCD. So, say hey to your therapist for me.
Ta.

And Lynda…from what I can gather from your contributions here at GifS…I’d say you DEFINITELY know quite a bit…and express it with a lot of “class” as well!
