Hmm. Sort of reminds me of the time I got dumped by a girl I did not really like :)

I don't give a rats ass if anybody here takes me seriously, I do this pretty much for fun

Your status already was deep in irrelevancy. You just slammed the door behind you.

So, on those rare occasions when you're correct on a point or two, I'm to be held in agreement with your entire worldview

Well, just today, you have said I am twisted, an idiot, and I am in need of immediate help. So it seems a bit odd that you should be nodding your head as I state some of my core beliefs. As always, the expedience of the moment is what drives you.

Why should anyone ever take you seriously?

I don't give a rats ass if anybody here takes me seriously, I do this pretty much for fun. Perhaps someday I will write a serious post, and you can judge for yourself what I am actually about. I do a lot of writing professionally, so I think I have some game.

The difference between you is that you are obviously pretty desperate to be taken seriously.

Oh, and I do read some of the contributors and posters in here very carefully. You are a fairly bright guy bit, try writing something that is not dogmatic nonsense and I will pay more attention.

You need to inject some "serious" into your serious commentary.

An interesting comment, given that you've just admitted to everybody in the room that you don't read what's written anyway. Why should anyone ever take you seriously?

You are the one going on about my "twisted" world view. I shared a little bit of that view. Now, you say you agree with me. Your story tends to change almost moment by moment there sonny.

So, on those rare occasions when you're correct on a point or two, I'm to be held in agreement with your entire worldview? Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it?

And at what point have I indicated otherwise?

I think if someone is elected to a position of public trust, they should faithfully execute the duties of the office they hold. I think that if you are drawing a paycheck, you should make damn sure you are earning it. I think if you are unhappy enough in your marriage to have an affair, you should play it straight, get a divorce and not disgrace your family.

And at what point have I indicated otherwise?
You've lost it, pal. Do all of us a favor, particularly yourself; Find help at once.

Then why the hell are you even holding a conversation with him?

Why the hell do you care? We have had this discussion. Buzz off.

Bit you are not under the impression that I actually, you know, pay any attention to what you say? Life is far too short skippy...

Holding these views you consider to be so twisted, I obviously could never be what passes for a "conservative" today...

So, you admit that when you made the comment you really didn't know what you were talking about

No, I admit that I was just messing with you, and that I do not think anything you have to say merits a careful reading. Do try not to get so shrill & hysterical bitsy, it is little unmanly.

So, you admit that when you made the comment you really didn't know what you were talking about, and were spouting just to spout simply because it matched your twisted worldview.

(shake of the head)
I take it back... You really are that much of an idiot, naturally. My apoligies for having under-estimated you so seriously.

Huh.
You must have missed the part where I said....

Say what you will about Sanford, I will likely agree

And the part where I said...

I think he's toast, and rightly so.

...and where I said...

Granted, that they are genuine given the reaction of the Governor

How in the blink is that supposed to be giving Sanford 'a pass'? I'll be kind, and assume you couldn't possibly be this much of an idiot natually, rather chosing to be so by intent.

Since you seem to need all the clues you can get, Anjin, you may want to look at the comments on the Hawkins piece James linked.

Oops. Not that Hawkins piece... this one.
