John Tvedtnes: Foul-mouthed Hatchet Man?

[_Mister Scratch]

Or, are you a "retired" apologist, ala Runtu?

If you have have read any of my posts here I have not made it a secret that I used to fashion myself as a hobby apologist at one point in time though I don't think I was ever that good at it. I say that here because I have said it before here, many times. That is more than enough for you.

I have read that. What was your former screenname? Surely, Jason, since you turn up in virtually every single thread I start, in order to grumpily complain that such-and-such observations don't conform to your rather mysterious and useless standards of taste and decorum, it won't hurt you to pony up a very small bit of information.

And "more than enough for you"? How often do you find me butting in to *your* threads, Jason?

"Butting in"? Is there some sort of rule on who may participate, and who would be considered to be "butting in"? This seems an unfair characterization. Jason gets to participate when, where and how he chooses, just like anyone else. One who starts a thread doesn't necessarily "own" it or the direction subsequent posts may go.

Did you not see him hounding Infymus up and down the board after Infymus mistakenly referred to him as a "cult lap dog"? Sure, he's allowed to post wherever he likes. So are you. So am I. So is anyone. However, Skippy: how would you like it if some poster turned up to offer up some glib or condescending remark after virtually every single thread/post you made? So, sure: JB can carry on all he likes. I'll be sure to return the favor.

As far as I have been able to tell, the only time that Jason has done this is when you have gone into your "conspiracy theory" threads. I've also seen Jason agree with you on points, as well.

And, frankly, Scratch, although I'm not vehemently against the conspiracy theory threads, they are getting a little old. ;)

It's happened to me. And?

It is the nature of a message board, I suppose.

And what, in this thread, is the "conspiracy", Liz? I simply noted Tvedtne's profanity and gossipmongering.

And, frankly, Scratch, although I'm not vehemently against the conspiracy theory threads, they are getting a little old. ;)

Well, you know what, Liz? I thought your "goddess suite" posts were stupid from day one. Would you like me to pop in and complain each time you do them? Cause I can! ; )

[_Jersey Girl]

Oh, and thanks for ignoring my question.

while I am not obligated to answer every question I did answer this one in another post when I saw I had missed it. Let me repeat. How I know about SHIELDS is none of your damn business really. Let's leave it at that.

No, Jason. Here you are accusing me of "overexaggeration," "conspiracy theory," and whatever else---all with no real analysis to back up your observations, BTW---and yet you won't answer a very simple question? Are you secretly an apologist, Jason? Or, are you a "retired" apologist, ala Runtu?

I can think of no reason why Jason or anyone else should answer your "simple" question for what would seem to be the sole purpose of satisfying your thirst for gossip and that of your rapidly shrinking "fan" base.

Touchy, touchy....

;)

You've already stated that my goddess suite posts were stupid, and actually posted some very uncalled for, nasty things about me a while back...so let's just consider your mission accomplished, in that regard.

In the myriad of posts and threads where you have pieced together scandals regarding the SCMC, Dr. Peterson, and FARMS folks, I have kept silent. It's not like your threads bother me, they just bore me. And, unfortunately, since I'm a Mod, I have to at least pop into your threads periodically.

Rest assured, this will be my first and last comment regarding your precious little topics.

But lay off Jason. His identity on any other board is none of your business.

I have to agree, skippy. What Scratch perceives as "butting in" is what the remainder of the community thinks of as participation. I know it's frustrating sometimes but we don't want to give the appearance of waving the sceptor of censorship for that's not part of the vision of this board.

I have read that. What was your former screenname?

Jason Bourne

Surely, Jason, since you turn up in virtually every single thread I start,

Hardly every. A few. But not every. I cannot keep up with you.

in order to grumpily complain

More hyperbole. Not grumpy. I just don't like unfounded character assassination. And as I told you, if I saw someone doing this to you I would defend you as well.

that such-and-such observations don't conform to your rather mysterious

Everything is mysterious to you.

and useless standards of taste and decorum,

I like my standards. I think they have more integrity than yours do.

it won't hurt you to pony up a very small bit of information.

Nope. So sorry.

And "more than enough for you"? How often do you find me butting in to *your* threads, Jason?

It is a free board my friend. You are welcome to post on any thread I start or bring up. You can ignore them as well. I can ignore you as well.

by the way, I did not badger Infymus. I did want to hold him accountable for is totally unjust characterization of me. That is all.
