This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Kali (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

I love all you guys who get how much I love my doggies.I've spent the last 15 years doing what I do and I am PROUD of my work with PAWS and the ASPCA for the last 15 years.I'm gonna miss you guys.Between Junior and Bengie and Katie and Charley and all the love I have seen for Big bear and Little Bear and Princess..and King..All The love I have shared with all of you ...and then...the budster..God I miss the Budster..GOD DAMN I miss my Budster.

It's not all about winning...it's about being true to yourself.....and I cant be true to myself if I mindlessly follow the party line.

Iyt's time to fight and I hope someone grabs it by the horns

[Tobin S.]

1. Grab the bull by the horn the old adage goes, nobody tells you where to go from there

Bob, most people here do not mindlessly follow the party line. Hell, it seems like half the people here are ready to impeach Obama. Sometimes I wonder if DU is changing into socialist underground. I enjoy the place merely for it's social value. I don't need to get caught up in all of those arguments.

[datasuspect]

2. i grabbed a bull by the horns once

and i defeated it.

stay strong gentle warrior.

[Dash87]

3. See you next week

[progressoid]

4. ...

[zappaman]

5. ...

[Heddi]

6. you love them so much that you shoot them

and gloat about shooting them. Offer pictures to anyone who'd like to gloat with you.

and gloat about Zimmerman's "Not guilty" verdict.

Please...wherever you decide to go...please stay there.

[rug]

7. Classy as always.

[Heddi]

9. Hey, I'm not the one that bragged to the point of almost having a boner

about shooting a dog.

then posting about it again
and again
and again
and again.

Wanna talk about classy? Talk to the OP who nearly made his screen sticky when he posts about the event

[rug]

13. I read that post. There was no bragging in it. Or a boner.

[Heddi]

14. well isn't that the tough thing about posts on the internet?

there is no inflection, no vocal tone, no facial expressions...so we have to go by what words are written and ascribe our own emtoions to them.

See, when I read his postS about the event, and his responses to it, I see a type of glee that one generally reserves for...well, things other than shooting a family dog in the head and immediately posting about it (repeatedly) on DU.

you read the same posts and you see something else.

That's the way the internet works.

One would think, though, that if someone were so torn up about shooting a family dog in the head and then immediately posting about it (repeatedly) on DU, that they would express remorse or say how terrible it was. Instead of, you know, posting about it on DU immediately after the fact and gloating about it.

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. Well, HELLO Sunshine!!! Thanks for visiting The Lounge to brighten our day!!!

.
.
And I thought he was being snarky but, by Golly... you ARE a classy act.
.
And insightful!!! Interesting that you could "see" him ALMOST getting
a boner and "see" him NEARLY having an orgasm. VERY interesting.
.
What OTHER kinds of things could you ALMOST/NEARLY "see" him
"doing" (so to speak).
.
.
You must tell us more about yourself.
.
I may be alone here, but I find your self-revelations, well GOSH... ... I
find them to be... ... ... ... fascinating.
.
.
.
Far more fascinating than anything about backwoodsbob.
.
.
.

[Heddi]

19. uh oh, someone rallied the troops

So happy to brighten your day.

And ya know what? When someone seems gleeful about shooting a family dog in the head, and posts repeatedly about it on DU, i'm going to wish them a hearty goodbye when they make (yet another) GBCW post.

Don't like it? I'm sure you can find and post a photoshopped meme on failblog that captures your sentiments perfectly.

a friendly reminder for anyone who'd like to get outraged without knowing the facts

20. I've been called a lot of things in my life. FINALLY, someone recognizes me as "the troopx".

.
.
.
And you're right... with your help, now I can see the "almost-boner" and
the orgasmic "nearly-sticky screen" you posted about... not to mention all his "glee".
.

With all the insight you display, how is it that I've not noticed you before?
.
Can you link to any more boner/sticky screen posts you may have made?
,
Just the classy ones, mind you.
.
.
.
Sincerely yours,
.
The Troops

[Heddi]

23. you know what, I was gonna reply in a snarky manner

but you're really not fucking worth it.

Have fun defending your "i shot a dog in the head while it was chained to a tree' buddy.

[MiddleFingerMom]

24. BWAHAHAHA!!! Where's the "pat on the head"? Where's the "defending"? And...

.
.
.
... where did I proclaim my "buddy" status with the OP?
.
All in that imagination of yours. At least you're not attributing an "almost-boner" nor
a "nearly-sticky screen" to me as you did to the OP upthread.
.
.
What am I? Chopped liver?
.
.
.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

35. Hey, If you are chopped liver

can I be Pate?

[MiddleFingerMom]

36. I'll be Chopped Charlie Brown and you can be Peppermint Pate... ... ...

.
.
.
.
.
Ew. That brought up an image of liverwurst delicately spread between two Girl Scout Thin Mints.
.
.
.
Ew-ew-ew. Sometimes I go too far.
.
.
.
But at least I share.
.
.
.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

37. I would share too, if I had Liverwurst Thin Mints ...

I would gladly share ALL of them

ya nut!

[CreekDog]

96. You followed me to the Environment group to support the nuclear troll who called my OP "BULL!"

it was your first post there this year and your second post there in 2 years.

because you don't care about the topic, you simply followed me there to say that whatever i was saying on San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station was somehow related to some character flaw I have.

did you have an opinion on the topic? of course not.

did you have an opinion on Backwoodsbob's most famous topic on DU? of course you didn't.

you don't care about that or any other topic.

you just came here to give some good old harassment to someone that Leftyfingerpop (and his reincarnation HopeHoops) didn't like.

congratulations. mission accomplished. you did it. Obama thanks you for your tireless work to support his agenda.

[pintobean]

90. No one rallied anything.

None of us is without fault. If you want to pretend you're perfect, go ahead, but I see no reason to come into the lounge and shit in this thread.
Maybe you need to just get over yourself.

[CreekDog]

98. "no one rallied anything"? really? then why are you here?

[digonswine]

27. Before I start-I do very much like your humorous posts-

that being said(typical excuse to start a personal attack)--BWB almost always posts about himself.
Everything is about him-be it our fawning over the Porsche, or crying over his bereaved pet-not that I take that lightly.
He posted photos of himself to crow over his physique.
He challenged an anti-gunner to specify which if his buddies were concealed-carrying.
He actually wanted this anti-gunner to come down to wherever and identify these people. On a message board. The bet was(I think!) to exchange pink car papers.
This is a bit nuts.
This is not normal behavior-it is weird.
Look back on his stuff--it is self-absorbed, to say the least.
He is way too involved with his own persona.
With that said--keep it up MFM and I wish you permanent immortality--

[MiddleFingerMom]

29. We are not in disagreement. If you look, you'll see no "defense" forthcoming from me...

.
.
.
...however, you've been manipulated into believing that's what happened (go back and look).
.
It's a tactic that's not very clever, nor the LEAST bit honorable. Sadly, it can be pretty effective
in fooling people -- even those who ARE smart and/or honorable.
.
Once you catch someone using innuendo and baseless insinuation to "prove" an accusation,
however... you should forever after take EVERYTHING that person claims to be "truth" with,
not a grain... but a pound of salt.
.
Again, you and I don't seem to be in disagreeement..


.
.
.

[digonswine]

31. True, true-

in the new clarity of the morning I see what you mean. My reading of DU can get a bit sloppy when laced with cheap bourbon. Engaging with the tactics of another DU'er does not equate to a defense of another one. I was not, however, putting you in the category of "troops&quot not that you said I did). Have a good one!

[Major Nikon]

34. Be that as it may, that's not an excuse to drag GD drama into the Lounge

There is no excuse for that, regardless of the situation. The option exists to start a GD thread and carry on there.

Just sayin'

[digonswine]

41. I guess I agree-

I was not part of that drama, but kept it in mind.
BUT--it is not like this thread is a love-fest to begin with.
You are right, though-I will keep in mind to keep it light in here. That is the reason many avoid GD and stay here, I know.

[MiddleFingerMom]

46. Again...

.
.
.

.
.
.

[digonswine]

48. I should say-

I will keep it mind until I forget to again--not tonight, but it is bound to happen, knowing my proclivities.
I need to know where I am, here, for cripes sake.
I love to admit when I fuck up, I just wish I would not need to do so as often as I do.

[MiddleFingerMom]

49. Get in line for the crown, bubba!!!

50. Careful Slick-

I've had a good run and can easily overtake you by time I turn three score-it's the confidence that makes the difference. I love a challenge.

[MiddleFingerMom]

52. Eat my dust, cowpoke!!! I'm just STARTING to get my second wind.

[digonswine]

53. Good to hear it-long live the second wind!!

[CreekDog]

94. does it feel like hot air?

[CreekDog]

85. thanks for making a rare appearance in GD to support the wrong side, as is your M.O.

97. "I win" is bragging when it refers to shooting a dog. Try reading next time.

Response to Reply #3

7. back from er

My wifes nephews shepperd came up here and attacked my terrier...I tried to pull them apart and his dog bit me in the arm...then jumped back on my terrier...I kicked it trying to get it off my terrier and it turned on me and bit the fuck out of my face.

6 stitches and a buttload of pain.

But Rug and MFM, keep defending this. Whom and what you criticize and defend here and what you don't displays your values for all to see.

So stand proud and keep defending the indefensible, and instead attack those who criticize the indefensible.

[rug]

99. April 4, 2009. Trey reading a calendar next time.

Or, Creekdog, keep trolling DU2 and repost whatever you don't like. Try to keep them within three years next time. BTW, there is no boasting in those old posts you revived.

So, Creekdog, what drives you to this strange behavior?

[CreekDog]

100. so you're saying "I win" is not considered bragging after 3 years time

wow. that's a stretch, but you were always fairly obvious about simply supporting who you want to support, facts be damned.

[Jamastiene]

44. +1000000 n/t

[CreekDog]

65. yes, why can't we all just get over the dog shooting, it's not like somebody died

i also have to point out that you wrote much ruder things to me for criticizing things that happened on DU, yet criticizing someone for shooting a dog is off limits.

your morals make no sense.

[rug]

77. That post was when? Just state the year.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

79. '09 ... sadly, I have the info at my fingertips

thanks to a very accommodating participant in this samethread:

herewith is the pertinent info:

just got bit in the face by a dog...ask me anything

that is the origin of the brouhaha

[rug]

81. And there's still a dog gnawing on the bone.

One might think it's stalking.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

84. one is entitled to think whatever they choose. think wrongly if you must but,

at least you are thinking.

[CreekDog]

95. responding to an OP is stalking?

why is it ok when you do it?

[CreekDog]

80. the dog shooting posts? more recent than the posts you give many of us crap for

please don't try to act like you're consistent.

i have my biases too, don't pretend you don't have your own because they are totally transparent here.

[rug]

82. Go troll DU2 and bring something back that you think is significant.

[MiddleFingerMom]

86. Ignore them -- it will all go away (including BWB) until there's another opportunity...

.
.
.
... to be self-righteous and stir some shit. You know this.
.
.
This post is a week old. Talk about a dog with a bone.
.
.
.

[rug]

87. You're right.

[CreekDog]

88. yes, ignore me. much as I hate to agree with MFM.

of course, by telling you to do this, you probably will do the opposite, such is your wont.

[Call Me Wesley]

8. Promise? (nt)

Say, "Until we meet again."

Drop back in when you feel like it's a fit again...

I wish you love and wonder throughout your life.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

[In_The_Wind]

83. Post #7

He shot a dog.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

89. Yeah, I know that story.

[In_The_Wind]

93. I wasn't around my computer very much at that time so I didn't know until recently.

I missed a lot of DU history for over two years.

[HappyMe]

33. Okay by me.

Bye.

[Sheldon Cooper]

38. Good.

39. Was this the start of the copycats? Great start and goodbye.

[flvegan]

58. This is a highly enjoyable thread.

For both the OP, and many of the responses.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

70. for once, you and I are in full agreement.

[BainsBane]

59. The lounge has been METAstasized.

[taterguy]

61. I was indifferent until you called me an asswipe

You started a thread in the Sports Forum.

I linked to this one, not due to malice but because I think it's amusing when DUers are inconsistent.

A normal person would have shrugged it off.

You came at me like a rabid dog.

You have anger management issues.

Enjoy your life somewhere else.

[Major Nikon]

62. He has posted 4 times since his GBCW post

Didn't even last a week.

[MiddleFingerMom]

63. Also indifferent up 'til now due to credibility issues on both sides , I was on this jury...

,
.
.
... that hid this (Reply #2). No need for healthy skepticism here -- I'm in total agreement with the dumbass just above.

[NealK]

72. "You came at me like a rabid dog."

That's ironic considering what he did to a non-rabid dog.

[CreekDog]

64. Sorry to hear that

you came back.

[Orrex]

68. With your screen name, I'll bet you're scared!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

71. bahaha!

I really did laugh out loud, thanks for that

[NealK]

73. Lol!

[CreekDog]

75. !

[Xyzse]

67. This is actually why I just stay in the Lounge most times

I consider myself left of Obama but still at the center.
My views tend to be swayed by logic as I tend to think that I can be easily wrong.

[nolabear]

74. Wow. This is the Last Post that never dies.

[Denninmi]

76. It certainly is.

This has lasted longer than my self-imposed DU goodbye last December -- I held out about 2 days.

[nolabear]

78. Yeah I blew out a couple of times years ago. I finally learned just to shut up til I calmed down.
