Thanks, -Wade Englund-


Wow, I must be doing something right. Here is Wade "Bobby Peru" Englund, lured out of the MAD closet yet again, and LoaP has fired up a rip-off thread over on the aptly named MADboard.

Mister Scratch wrote:Why don't you quit doing apologetics, then? What's in it for you? What do you gain by doing it?

I gain relatively little. I do it because I believe I should do it.

Mister Scratch wrote:More to the point, why are you so concerned that people might think that you collect a "wad of bills" for doing apologetics? Do you worry that it would undermine your credibility in some way?

Of course it would undermine my credibility.

And that, I expect, is one of the major reasons why you seek to make the charge stick.

It's no where near as interesting as this one. One of the top ten happenings, according to one poster, was the "Meadow Mountains" massacre.

I haven't the faintest clue who "Bobby Peru" is, nor am I the least acquainted with the thread at MA&D since I haven't visited there for about a week (except to respond to a PM), but you are free to extract as much self-aggrandisement from my brief comment as may be fantacized--not that you could be prevented from doing otherwise.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-

It isn't doing as well as this thread, in my opinion.

We don't see you two here for quite a while and then all of sudden here you are posting and adding nothing but noise, again.

Was there some kind of emergency alert or all boards bulletin from the l-skinny club or the strengthening members committee telling youse two ta get on over here pronto and make some noise?


I've been sporadically posting here for a while now without any exchange with DCP, actually.

one moment, of the well of life to taste-

starts for the dawn of nothing; Oh, make haste!

The thread has to be about DCP before he will acknowledge you.
It is really the only thing he likes to talk about.
God has the right to create and to destroy, to make like and to kill. He can delegate this authority if he wishes to. I know that can be scary. Deal with it.
