honestly, Rusty - look at the original post here. anything there that is not either twee or trivially true, or merely empty? no. anything original? no.
you know it's true.
Perhaps one you have started, to show us all how it is done?

rubbish that is honest about being rubbish doesn't need to be pointed out.

You are saying how bad the threads are, but I don't see you trying to show us what good threads are.
I think you are just full of hot air, and looking for someone to pick on, and if a few others agree with you, all the better huh!
Originally posted by Very Rustynope. as i've said before, just opposing the proliferation of bs.

Originally posted by BlackampNo, here is what you are doing. You are going into someone else thread, and saying how terrible it is on a pretty routine basis now.

I don't see you starting any of your own threads. Are you afraid someone like yourself will come along and do the same thing to you as you are doing to GB?

anyone is welcome to post criticism in any of my threads, or take them off topic, or whatever. it really won't bother me at all.
i'll bet GB gets short shrift in the other public forums.

What I am saying is if you figure you make interesting threads, then by all means do so. It is way better than jumping on every thread a particular poster makes on here.

"history vindicates the critics of fools..."
Wrong. Simple villagers take care of that by ignoring threads of fools.
History has better things to do than vindicate over-reaching critics.
i really do hope you keep posting your vacuous rubbish masquerading as wisdom. it provides raw material for the purpose of debunking such, you charlatan. go on, try to impress us with what you are pleased to regard as your brilliance. every post you make contains the seeds of its own undermining.
oh, and fundamentalist religious agenda is painfully obvious, despite your efforts to disguise it.
