History, specifically
..he does tend to hold a grudge worse than most. Guess you guys pissed him off at one time, or visa versa.
I don't, I'm rather the opposite- but it does explain a lot.
(Note the correct spieling, lack of errant Zs and misplaced Ss as well. The website cover story was trotted out prematurely, as Bratboy pointed out... almost as if prepared in advance).
..Even if I was pawz, as you say I am, don't you think I would have anything better to do than to go into what seems to be a liberal forum and attempt to talk to people here?
Not to mention that the people he told me to watch out for are now moderators? Seem rather stupid to do wouldn't it?
So you just happened to find this of all forums- the Reli/Pol subforum of a Mac forum- and post mostly in here, hardy at all in the others?* Styled 'The Conservative,' computers don't matter to you, but politics do... so you come across a Mac subforum to do it in by happenstance, and lo, pawz even warned you about certain folks. Quite the set of coincidences, unless one were Pawz, and wanted to indulge his grudge, reduced to what you describe as your current lot in life. That could be a plausible motive, that, time on your hands, hitting out against viewpoints you think perhaps helped bring you to where you are.
Whatever, dude. Interesting you were warned about sturner and kev, tho, who became Mods after Pawz' time.

Doesn't matter what he calls himself, but it's always nice to know we can expect the same brick wall reasoning.

Let's assume what you're saying is true. What would happen if the bill didn't pass?
And he had normal insurance? He'd be able to get the same care he does now, in the state of mass it is unlawful to not have insurance.

As I stated before, he told me about here, and the apple site, but since this one seemed to actualy have a life beyond computers I decided to go here. Pardon me if I like politics, and only post about computers when I need help? I'm not a geek, I don't care about Mac/Pc debates, I don't care about the newest mac coming out, or really playing many games on them.
I care about politics because unlike Steve Jobs, and Apple (unlike what some people here think), politics of the US are more important, they can not only make or break this country, but decide what goes on around the world.
Lastly, he only warned me about bratboy, because he (bratboy) holds a grudge, and it seems likes to accuse people of things that aren't true. I figured he was the once normal person that became a moderator that he was talking about

Re: Obama Health Care can't work.
Sorry, it doesn't hold water- but I won't spend time now running down inconsistencies.
Interesting, tho, that you've mentioned games twice now, here and in your one computer thread, as others haven't and Pawz claimed to be a games dev & virtuoso gamer, tho I can't remember anyone here playing him. One quick look, tho...
Sturner, you have (another) opponent!
Just get The Conservative to talk Pawz into it.
Alien would be thrilled to remember this, no doubt.
(..but Pawz should know all that, logging in, showing you around... risky, tho, and someone would, I'd think, have spotted someone using his account).
I can't remember any mention of Pawz by BB, btw. If he holds a grudge he's kept it to himself.

I mentioned I have a few games on my mac, well before it died I did.
World of goo, and the new call of duty game, and pirates of the carribian. You'd kick my butt, I'm more of a logic based player than a gun player, Cyberpawz told me it would be a good stress reliever. It doesn't really do anything for me.
Once I get my computer back if you want I can play a game or two against you and prove it.

I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Oh, you mean like being banned for repeated racist commentary? Sure. You know, it takes agreement from multiple moderators to issue a ban.

Oh, I see. So either he has "normal insurance," or government insurance.
What an interesting hypothetical--where you assume that everyone already has insurance, and ignore the fact that this plan is intended to help those who don't have insurance at all.
Why did he switch to government insurance if he was happy with his "normal insurance?"

See, now you've ruined the entire rant. I'm afraid you will have to make your factual posts in the designated "factual/free speech zones" scattered throughout less trafficked web sites, for your safety of course.

Yo 'pawz, you should register there! You'd like it, there aren't any moderators.

He's not actually circumventing a ban, though, is he? So it doesn't matter.
