This has all the hallmarks of Knot. You do nothing but embarrass yourself. This imitation goes on in the room all the time too and it's actually fucking horrible to be there because it's so cringeworthy, pathetic and awkward.

Sometimes I don't understand why Knot doesn't just tell you to fuck off, maybe he does and I'm not there to see it or maybe he's fucked up and gets off on it. You got anything to say on this matter, Knot? Surely you must see it.

Says the dude wearing the name of a rapper. Lol.

Barrett and I have similarities that were apparent soon after I met him, such as his vociferocity, argumentativity and bombastic flair. While Barrett doesn't exhibit the finesse I do, I'm not sure he even wants to, so there are definite differences. And we do argue from time to time.

And yes, I have been a potent influence on Barrett since he was 16, which is not really surprising considering the amount of time we've spent chatting, arguing, and evolving over the past 6 years. I respect and admire the way he's handled social and philosophical challenges in his life, and he will always remain a good friend, someone on whom I test my arguments and confide in about my own life challenges.

And no, I don't "get off" on comparisons people make about my influence on others - but I fully expect them, because I do influence anyone I spend a fair amount of time with.

Yeah, really fucking badass mate. Everything you do just perplexingly du jour. Stack it up against reality though and all the flair and finesse tapers like a signal flare.

The WinMX philosopher labouring his creations on shitty little .com writing communities and testing his "arguments" in a chatroom to a nightclub bouncer. You've never, nor ever will amount to anything special mate, so spare me the pompous bullshit.

For all that bravado and self-praise lies a very unexceptional person. That's the similarity you and he have.

Not even sure what you're arguing against here "mate". Your lack of acuity with metaphorical analogies is embarrassing, Mos. Tapers like a signal flare? Lol. Yeah, everyone can identify with things tapering like a fucking signal flare. I think you've spent too much time immersed in rapper lyrics to know how to fabricate a quality metaphor. You're a fucking pretentious moron.

And your grasp of politics is about as firm as jello. Remember how you lauded Obama as the new saviour? Remember how you told this forum, and I quote:



Do you see how fucking ridiculous this idiotic nonsense you spouted two years ago sounds now? Check back on that thread and you'll see how I rightly predicted business as fucking usual in USA economic policy, and they've gotten just that. Punks like you open a newspaper or a textbook for the first time and think you're an expert on any of it. Such unmitigated fucking audacity.

I was nice not to expose your naivete on this political ranting you spouted a couple years back, but since you've taken it upon yourself to attack my character yet again, unprovoked, for no other reason than some meager attempt to bolster your own ineffectual, impotent, immature prose, I indulge in it now.

And let's not forget the past praises you've made about me and this forum, and my purpose at providing free speech in general. Your ambiguity and vacillations are the earmarks of an immature, petulant, prima donna.

So don't ever attempt to condescend to me when you're way down there, you ignorant little pissant. Maybe you can make up some rhymes to show how upset you are at me. Lol. There's a worthy endeavour for you, that you might actually have some nominal skill at.

Here's a site to help you out: http://www.rhymezone.com/ I hear it's where all the burgeoning rappers go to manufacture their clever lyrics, so they can make their uneducated, inaccurate, juvenile assessments on social culture. But hey, at least it rhymes, right?

I agree. All this rap tripe is played out, for sure. I much prefer your style of using 50 adjectives to describe something. It's rare that nonsense is idiotic, especially when ridiculous is fucking them both. That shit's just absurdly balderdash, baloney, bananas.

Fucking excellent post, by the way, BEAR999. These itemized chat logs with the hermeneutical running commentary, or scathing bombast—whichever way you want to read it—make my back parts feel all maudlin and cozy.

Lmfao! So Odilon wades into the morass, and becomes more of an ass by doing so. Is this drivel truly yours, Ody, or has some moronic buffoon appropriated your login details and is now passing himself off as you?

Out of my entire several paragraphs, all you can possibly muster is an erroneous allegation of redundancy? Do you know what a "try-hard" is, Odious? Assuming by your lack of perspicuity eviDUNCEd by your pretentious bloviation above, I'll generously provide you with its definition:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=try-hard

Look and learn what you are, Oedipussy, and try hard to stop sucking on the teats of un-necessity with your misdirected, uneducated attempts at invention of an actual purpose other than trying to show up the Knot, lest it constrict you further.

And your ridiculous hyperbolic attempts at construing as redundant "fifty" words from three words of mine which don't even mean the same thing, from one of the many sentences I wrote, are proof of your idiocy and a clarion indication of your utter nonsensical abilities, borne more from some bitter, vengeful spite than any accurate literary analysis.

And your analogy using synonyms is patently absurd, because the three words of mine you attempted to harmonize into some sort of redundancy from my post, aren't synonymous.

Best you hop on up out of that armchair and do something more valuable with your time than paging through a thesaurus, O-duh-lon. You get an A for effort though, but a F for achievement, like try-hards always do.

Made for a hearty laugh though on my part. Thanks for that. Btw, how's that copycat "free speech" room going? Would you like me to drop in and lend you some credibility, relevance and intelligence to help get it off the ground? Such jealousy - how embarrASSing. Talk about redundancy!!

Lmfaoay.

Since droning on incessantly seems to be your modus operandi, I’ll go at this piece by piece.



I see you've already made use of http://www.rhymezone.com/. Good for you.



Should I add these to the list of adjectives?



I don't see what your problem is. I believe my comment extolled the more is better style.



"Try-hard", hmm? Between urbandictionary and rhymezone, one can't help but wonder if you're one of those "burgeoning rappers", of which you speak so highly. But let's have a gander:

try-hard

A person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image, or counter-image, to the point where it is obviously contrived. Rather than achieving an image through genuine personality, the try-hard consciously attempts to fit a certain style through deliberate imitation, forced style, or scripted behavior. That is to say, he/she is trying hard to create an image.

Examples: An affluent, suburban dweller who makes great efforts to cover himself in tattoos and piercings; try-hard.
A person who wears certain items of clothing for the express intention of appearing "non-conformist", and flaunts it; try-hard.
Someone who purchases a motorcycle only to appear as a "bad-boy"; try-hard.
A person who shuns certain genres or styles of music or art simply because it does not fit his self-image, or the image he wants to portray; try-hard.

“A person who puts a large amount of effort into achieving a certain image, or counter-image, to the point where it is obviously contrived.”

Wow. Where have I seen this before?





Such sullen expressions. Is that the "right behind you" look you were going for?



You seem to be doing a good job of constricting yourself. Do you really need my help?



You're right, "fifty" was hyperbolic, but you seem to have missed something. I wasn't basing my assessment on three words. If that were the case, I wouldn't have quoted the rest of what you'd said. Let's take a look at other examples:
1. "ineffectual, impotent, immature prose"
2. "Your ambiguity and vacillations are the earmarks of an immature, petulant, prima donna."
3. "you ignorant little pissant"
4. "uneducated, inaccurate, juvenile assessments on social culture"
Beyond your posts in the forums, there's also the Hall of Debaiters section of this website, wherein you use numerous adjectives instead of short biographies to describe each individual. I fail to see how noticing this could be construed as 5. "bitter, vengeful spite". It's quite the opposite, actually. I have a great deal of respect for what you've got going on here. Supporting a forum for free speech out of your own pocket, whilst resisting the temptation to place ads everywhere. Don't think your good deeds have gone unnoticed, just because someone decides to point out a few idiosyncrasies.



They aren't? Let's see, what were they again? "Ridiculous", "idiotic", and "nonsense", right?

ridiculous - incongruous; inviting ridicule
Synonyms: derisory, laughable, nonsensical, preposterous, ludicrous, idiotic, absurd, cockeyed

I'll just leave it at that.

I’m arguing with a nescient fuckwit, a 40 year old who conspicuously bestows all kinds of laurels upon himself that are blatantly empty and false. Put a few hard facts in front of you and you’ve got fuck all to rebut them with. Elance and Writers-Network, zero jobs, zero earnings. Posting your mediocre articles in the essay section of your own fucking forum.



I’d love to see your response to a client who approached you asking for a track-record or any journalistic qualification to warrant him hiring your sorry ass.

Yeah and the “metaphorical analogies”. It was a rhetorical simile to be precise about it, matey. The use of “like” and comparing two dissimilar things should have been the giveaway. Do you even fucking appreciate the different types of metaphors and the many nomenclatures they can be assigned under? The part subjectivity, taste and context play in forming original figures of speech? Obviously not.

This trudging back to the year old threads, desperately trying to find material on me. Look from when the crises first erupted to now and you’ll see they’ve used an unprecedented range of initiatives to tackle things. There was an almost alphabet soup of new credit facilities that differed in terms of collateral used, the duration of the loan, which institutions were eligible to borrow, and the cost to the borrower. The Fed turned to a zero-interest-rate policy and carried out quantative easing by purchasing treasury bonds and the mortgage-backed-securities of Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae. Rather than fucking describing every measure, here’s a list:

TARP
Economic Stimulus Act of 2008
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
Cash for Clunkers
Additional Emergency UI benefits
Refinancing of mortgages, Hope for Homeowners
Expanded Mortgage Lending
Guarantee of U.S. banks’ debt
Guarantee of Citigroup debt
Guarantee of Bank of America debt
Transaction deposit accounts
Public-Private Investment Fund Guarantee
Bank Resolutions
Fed supplementary financing account
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
Term auction credit
Primary credit
Secondary credit
Seasonal credit
Primary Dealer Credit Facility
Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund
AIG
AIG (for SPVs)
AIG (for ALICO, AIA)
Rescue of Bear Stearns
AIG-RMBS purchase program
AIG-CDO purchase program
Term Securities Lending Facility
Commercial Paper Funding Facility
TALF
Money Market Investor Funding Facility
Currency swap lines
Purchase of GSE debt and MBS
Guarantee of Citigroup assets
Guarantee of Bank of America assets
Purchase of long-term Treasuries

Its armchair guess men like you who have no fucking idea about the finer details of how the recession has been tackled. Drawing comparisons with the Great Depression and making simplistic, deceptive comments like this: The real root of this current financial crisis though isn't being addressed in the same way it wasn't addressed by government after the stockmarket crash in 1929

Responses have been markedly different. Read any fucking academic journal on the matter and it’s plaintitively set out for all. What is it? You just hear some stimulus being implemented on the news and think, ah it’s just business as usual. Let me break some salient points down for you, as you clearly don’t know what the fuck you are talking about:

1929-1933: Permitted money stock to collapse, serious inflation to occur
2007-2009: Money stock continued to grow, price level remained stable
1929-1933: Failed to see that (1) banks were reluctant to borrow for fear of banks runs (2) banks lacked the eligible collateral to borrow. Also they paid little attention to systemic risk.
2007-2009: Acted quickly to encourage banks to borrow e.g. discount window, loans, reduced primary credit rate, introduced TAF etc
1929-1933: Never made sufficient open market operations to prevent a collapse of the money stock or deflation nor lent significantly to distressed financial institutions.
2007-2009: Alleviated credit market strains by supplying liquidity to affected firms and markets
1929-1933: Wholesale recourse tariffs and quotas
2007-2009: Resisted protectionism much better this time around

A distinction is to be made here: Learning from the past, being informed by it NOT addressing it in the same way. Dipshit.

Past praise is the key word, you’ve gotten kudos from me for starting up the chatroom and it was very good in the old days but my thoughts on it now are well known to you. I actually think a man of your age still clinging on to it is a bit pathetic in all honesty. Maybe you’re using it as platform to find another internet bird like Lady Witch, I often see a bunch of dim-witted slags you’ve coerced from the likes of Married and Singles in there that could match her. Do keep evolving as a person though eh.

So don't ever attempt to condescend to me when you're way down there.

I’ll condescend you anytime I like, I find it quite simple if I’m honest. Also, I’m not way down there and I’m not way up there either. I’m a very modest, humble sort of person but will never shy away from knocking a twat like you down a peg or two.

Odilon, I have formulated a response, in my head, to your post as well, but as you can see, my meticulous attention to detail cannot be easily afforded from my precious time, but I fully intend to address every point you raised, as I have here with mosdef's post. And I look forward to further engagements with all of you, as I love to discuss and debate.
