NFT: It's Friday, what have we learned this week?

BurberryManning : 8/29/2014 12:33 pm
- A dislocated toe can vary in treatment and prognosis from amputation to week-to-week in a walking boot.

- No best friend? Well, you're not alone. Get yourself married or log into BBI! Brett's always here to provide friendship...or you can follow his Youtube channel.

- Some posters are willing to pay hundreds of dollars in fines to continually post on BBI. Even when BBI, via the rules and posting patterns, clearly does not appreciate their input.

- A racially charged thread regarding a deceased Missouri teen still has a ways to go if it wants to top last season's NBA thread post-count.

- Apparently there is a BBI 1% and you can thank thank them for keeping the hamster fed and the site up and running!

Thank God football is back

Even a little bit of self-awareness, and there is no way a rational person with your posting history could have typed that. Anyway, so much for a good-natured jab - I just emailed you, so as not to get into it on Eric's board. Enjoy the weekend.

It was a harmless jab, but your anger issues don't allow for that...I suppose that is my fault, and I am sorry for that.

it wasn't a mistake, moron. i very clear said on a "per household basis." and that is a direct quote.

in the next sentence i did say "fewer people own them," but most people, when they read two sentences, particularly two sentences that follow sequentially, can remember the point from the previous sentence and apply it to the latter.

you are not most people. you are always looking for a fight or to undermine someone. you found one with me, as you have at least a dozen times this past year.

oh, and i'm still waiting to hear how you found my email address, as it's not listed on BBI. and i'm also still waiting for that email that "didn't work," because we all know that email is really fucking sophisticated and hard to accomplish.
Listen  
Rob in NYC : 8/29/2014 2:29 pm : link
being right on BBI is very important to you, I get it, so I agree, fewer people own guns now, regardless of what your own math says. You are correct, if that is what you need to get you through the weekend. I am happy to just get along.

Email should be there - check the hotmail account, or simply email me - its in my profile.

Thanks!

fewer people own them on a PER HOUSEHOLD BASIS. that's now at least the 10th time that i've explained that to you. are you still having trouble?

and i don't even have a hotmail account, idiot. but yeah, you're definitely onto something. you acquired a hotmail account for a different guy - somehow - despite the fact that my BBI email address is listed as private.

let's be clear on one thing, Rob. you can take that "olive branch" and stick it directly up your ass. is this how your interactions go in the real world? you attack and insult someone for the better part of a year and then simply extend them an "olive branch" and all is right in the world?

well, not me. i think you're a fucking prick and i have no qualms about telling you that directly. go fuck yourself. with the olive branch.

your statement makes even less sense now. I get it math, logic and stats aren't your friends. For my part, I won't point out going forward where you make mistakes in any of those areas.

In the real world, actually, people don't get stark raving mad at strangers on the internet, and accept apologies when offered, unless there is an underlying defect on your part.

My apologies, I was given a bad email by a third party - my mistake. Please email me so we can clear the air and go forward and not sully Eric's hard work.

For the record  
Rob in NYC : 8/29/2014 2:55 pm : link
for most people (those without anger issues) pointing out their mistakes and disagreeing with them in debates is not "attacking for no reason". I see that you need special treatment, and I apologize for not having recognized that earlier and will not point out your errors any more.

I also apologized for suggesting you were someone else.

Apologizing and moving on is what men do - you are, of course, free to take a different course.

I would still welcome the chance to clear the air, when your anger dies down, of course. Feel free to email whenever you want.

It's a quick 75 minute drive from Wilmington but insisted he come here to Wrightsville Beach where the sand is white and the water blue/green as opposed to brown and brown. I blame you.

Was a dupe until one day he asked me if was even registered on the site when the Jake was around. Weird question to ask someone who has a registered account for 3 years when he's not even registered for a year.

So if he's not the Jake, he's someone's dupe.
Have to give it up to Rob in NYC
