Well, since that bit was not in red, I suppose it is within the rules to retort that anyone who tries a put-down like that on a poster as substantive and thoughtful as Darth J. looks a bit as though they needed to cover their backside to prevent it being hit by the door on the way out of the thread.
But I don't think I should say that kind of thing, so I won't.
I'm glad you didn't say such a thing as 'they needed to cover their backside to prevent it being hit by the door on the way out of the thread.' Who know what might happen if you were to say something like, they needed to cover their backside to prevent it being hit by the door on the way out of the thread.

How is it a put-down? He has been defensive of me since I made my first comment. I asked for simple clarification, which, to be honest, Sock Puppet made better than Darth, himself, made. I was fine with the explanation. It had nothing to do with Simon at all. I know that Darth is an ex-member, and that he has a vast knowledge of LDS doctrine. That is why what he stated caught my attention. It was very out of character for him.
Also, Chap, let me point out that you "quote mined" me. I did not place my *yawn* comment next to the "get the chip off your shoulder and relax" comment.
The *yawn* was in reference to the thread being 14 pages long. It had nothing to do with how I felt about Darth at all.

Not really. *yawn* It is 14 pages long.
Well, don't let that get in the way of understanding the context of what is being said!
You're right to yawn, though. This thread has almost 2,500 views right now. I guess nobody is interested.
I clicked on it to make sure I didn't need to moderate anything, and noticed that one statement that just didn't seem to hold true to other things you have said. That is why I wanted clarification.
Get the chip off your shoulder and relax.
Obviously, anyone who is not interested in justifying claims that he or she never made has a chip on his or her shoulder.
Do you feel that Simon Belmont has a chip on his shoulder, Liz?

Based on your OP, it seems that Simon has accused you of quote-mining in multiple threads, but has failed to come up with a specific example. You claimed that he misused the term, "quote mining", and then asked him to give you a solid example of where you quote mined.

And in the 14 pages of this thread, have you noticed a certain trend of Simon Belmont saying a whole lot of things, and yet never once responding to the OP?

Yes. But this is what is curious to me.
Why did you create the OP to begin with? It was a victory before you started.
You knew that he would do exactly what he has done..which is why I think you both have chips on your shoulder, and are engaging in a 14 page pissing contest.

Liz, darling, you are under the impression that I consider Simon Belmont to be my arch-nemesis in a battle for the souls of mankind, rather than my straight man in a comedy routine.
