vic perry, believe it or not i have no idea who you are (maybe an old poster w/ a new dn) but you have yet to offer anything interesting enough to be worth responding to so if u forgive me i'll leave you to start your own glenn greenwald thread and stay off mine.

believe it or not I don't have any ill will for you....nah, that's too steep of a belief curve to try to pitch.
like what kind of nonsense is this? sub-morbius ilx poster has ill will for me? god get over yourself.
― Mordy, Monday, 19 January 2015 01:58 (nine years ago) link
Nope, I don't believe it, since you attacked me by name just a couple of weeks ago. Presumably you have so many fights you can't actually remember to whom you are responding anymore?
― Vic Perry, Monday, 19 January 2015 02:06 (nine years ago) link
oh wow i totally know who you are now the guy who said something stupid a couple of weeks ago
― Mordy, Monday, 19 January 2015 02:08 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I'm that guy, the vaguely anti-somethingorother blur you flail at before losing consciousness.

Anyway, is this "your" thread? You have some kind of say over who posts here, and what they say?

"You are a couple of years past the wrong side of history, at least, with this thread title and continued provocations."
i was just trying to say if it bothers you so much you don't have to hang out here

woah, i just noticed -- "continued provocations" who knows what to do w/ that. are you glenn greenwald?

You don't have any arguments, do you. Just ad hominem, not particularly clever ad hominem.

it's that time where I quote myself for levity
never got around to posting about this:my friend who has visited brazil a couple times in the last year said that there's a local news roundtable show that greenwald appears on, but he caters his commentary and a lot of it is him strongly implying the united states is very interested in brazil's going-ons and is probably heavily spying on them

I love the way Mordy keeps doubling down on the stupid long after his little gee-ha-ha-had on Greenwald has utterly gone wrong-side-of-history.
plenty of people find GG to be a shitty journalist, an asshole, and a self-promoting sack'o'shit but yeah, let's let history judge

Oh no, the dreaded "plenty of people". They should probably pool their resources. Or maybe they should pee in a pool.

weirdly, this scenario kind of resonated with me as a teacher. sometimes students will get themselves in a heap of trouble and then blame some unspecified medical condition or family emergency for it, long after the fact.
Why is this in a thread about Glenn Greenwald?

that was unreadable, but basically his imperial know-it-all-itness is getting fucking tiring. no critique of trump is complete without a stab at the democrats. all concerns about an openly nationalist candidate promising a radical break with tradition must be countered with an accusation of "hypocrisy" and "hysteria." he just sucks. this act is tired.

he's criticizing democrats for being alarmist in rhetoric *while also* being timid in action.
