I know that people love to disagree with my “radical” ideas. I also like to have discussion and debate, even when people infer things that I haven’t said, and say things like, “you are being inconsistent”, even when I am not (again, if I were, you would be able to point it out… yet, that hasn’t happened, not even once). I do like to have intelligent discourse, even when those that attempt to engage me, do so in a less than intelligent way.
But what I don’t care for, and what I won’t do, is apologize or justify what I say or have what I have said. If you don’t like it, fuck off. If you want, comment, read, whatever you want. I don’t have to impress you, and I am not trying to.
There are pricks out there on the internet that are literally obsessed with “making fun” of me, and yet, they still don’t get the fact that I don’t need to impress them either. I have addressed this in the past, and I am just in awe of the pathetic obsession that still burns inside them. It is sickeningly pathetic, actually. Move on already.
I am sick and fucking tired of putting up with bullshit, especially here on my own blog. So, if you have a counter point to something that I have said, state it, and we will discuss. However, if all that you have is “you’re wrong!”, then save it, because that isn’t an argument. It’s nothing. And, it will be treated as such. If you want to represent yourself here as having nothing to contribute, that’s your bag, and feel free to do so; but don’t get mad when I call it nothing, because I will.
What a way to start your day, eh? To see those same old people still talking the same old school-yard bullshit about you, just under the radar, rather than having the nuts to actually bring it. Pathetic. When are you going to grow up? If you haven’t already, chances are, you won’t. Perhaps you don’t have the ability to. Either way, pathetic.
I have taken this shit for far too long; I have been dealing with assholes for as long as I can remember, so I guess time for “fuck off” is long overdue. Now, just try and bring the shit-storm bitches. I’m ready for anything.
I don’t know how this all started, but here’s a piece of advice: IGNORE IT. Really. Don’t respond to their posts on other blogs and don’t blog about it yourself.
I have to agree with Audacity. Every time you post a “fuck off” post, you’re just making it worse. Plus, they can’t comment on here, can they?

Lori, anyone can comment here. The only time I will delete a comment, or “ban” a comment, is when someone crosses the line and goes from being disagreeable into just being an asshole. I encourage people to comment. I like it when they do. But I won’t stand for being attacked on my blog. That’s the only rule I have.
I agree that I should ignore it, and know that it really doesn’t bother me as much as you think. I wrote this, and I write everything, for me. I don’t really care if it gets a reaction or not; I am expressing how I feel, and it makes me feel better. That is the only motivation to do any of this anyway, right?
When will these pricks and assholes stop calling me names !?!?
Andy, when you stop, I will go back to the way things were, like before. I never had anything against you, and I know that I even agree with you on A LOT of things; but it just seems that there is something about me that you just feel the need to go after. And when you team up with atlmalcontent, who I also don’t have anything against (whether he wants to hold onto that insignificant quip from years ago), it just makes you seem like a bully; when that doesn’t have to be the way you argue things (if that is really what you seek to do).
Honestly, this whole thing just feels like when I was in high school, and the popular thing to do was pick on duane. I never stood up and said anything then, and to this day, am still hurt by it; but that isn’t me anymore. That is why I wrote this post. I am not just going to let it be; I’m not putting up with it anymore, at least not here.
This is some seriously bizarre shit. I do not understand. I was going to say I feel like I’ve been transported back to 2nd grade, but even that’s not an apt analogy, because in 2nd grade the snot-nosed brats didn’t have such weird, specific, personal obsessions. The word “vendetta” comes to mind, but that implies more malice, whereas this appears to be… stupidity? A need for therapy? I’m not sure what it is, honestly. But it is definitely BIZARRE.
(I suppose, though, that it’s okay when Andisheh does it, because he is a serious journalist. Such petty bullshit certainly would not connote having one’s head up one’s ass. Not if you write for a MSM publication, that is.)
Oy, this requires one thing and one thing only… nerdfight! nerdfight in thunderdome!
Funny, but Andy is the only one here NOT name-calling.
“nerdfight” is less name-calling than it is interjection, unless you’re put off by “nerd”.
atlmalcontent, that is because he is too busy doing it elsewhere.
Seth, I am proud to be a nerd. I embrace my nerditude.
*cough*

Don’t repond if you can’t be open minded
AND NO NAME CALLING KIDS!!!!
Look…it could always get worse - you could cause an outbreak of diarrhea at your next rim job party
You want inconsistency?
You say here:
Yet, on my blog, you say:
On your blog it is not allowed to say you’re wrong without backing up the point but on my blog it’s ok to say I’m ridiculous without backing it up. Totally consistent. My bad.
/sarcasm
I am rather new to “blogging” but did want to state that Duane should not be attacked personally for his views. I personally have found his blog interesting and have found that I tend to agree with a lot of his views. Maybe that makes me uninformed too, but I have to stand up for Duane and hope that he will continue to express his opinion on his blog! One of the things that makes our country so great is having the ability to express your opinion and to make up your mind about things and to see them from your own point of view.
You know dave, you are right; I should have tried to counter your ridiculous policies, but I was too tired to do it after all this nonsense here yesterday. I apologize for the inconsistency in my arguing tactics; I will do my best to go full steam at you in the future, okay?
Funny though, how you didn’t find any inconsistency with regards to what I have said, represented, or portrayed on my blog…
Inconsistency defined: Duane supports the troops (I’m sure that’s what he’d say), but then thinks they are committing genocide.
Are they just following orders? That didn’t wash for the Nazis. So ergo you must believe they should be tried for war crimes.
atlmalcontent, dude, you are an idiot. If you think that you can’t support the troops and not agree with the senseless killing of people (by which they are ordered to), and instead think that is just inconsistency, you are brain dead.
If the troops are indeed acting out of orders, and killing innocent people unjustly (which we have seen cases of), they should be tried as such.
The whole thing is more complicated than your simplified attempt to prove me wrong, yet again. Why not spend your time doing something more useful?
Well you believe there are innocent people are dying unjustly — at least that’s what you’ve been saying throughout your endless spiels. Someone’s killing those innocent people. That would be the soldiers. Shouldn’t they be tried? Why would you support people you believe are killing innocents?
You can’t have it both ways, though of course you’ll try. Then you’ll play the “don’t attack me personally” card right after calling me an idiot, psycho, sadistic, bitter old queen …
Oh, one more thing, and this weill REALLY piss you off. I met Jake Gyllenhaal a few times. His mother was one of my professors. I don’t think you’re his type.
dude, go away already… seriously. That doesn’t piss me off, I know I am not his type, because he is straight, idiot.
Jesus Christ. Duane, I know this feels like high school, but seriously? You don’t have to see these people in person every day. Paying attention to them, responding to them, acknowledging that they exist in any way just makes it all worse. This isn’t high school anymore becuase you can actually ignore them merciliessly, and that will actually get them out of your life. So while I understand that you’re writing this for you, you’re also just making more drama. If they’re wrong and assholes, then they’re wrong, and they’re assholes. If it were me, I’d just walk away.
Nikki, agreed. Enough really is enough.
Yeah Duane, I know. Some sense of humor you got there.
I agree with Nikki. Give it up. Do you really care what these people think? Not me.
I especially don’t care what HE thinks…LOL
gosh, you wouldn’t know it from reading your blog, or the comments you’ve left on my blog.
Signed,
the idiotic, homicidal, psychotic bitter old queen
I wasn’t the one arguing your inconsistency. I believe you are consistently oblivious to reality.
Well dave, I feel the same way about you, so I guess we are even.
Hey, I added you to my blogroll. Could you take a look and see if my site is worthy to be on your roll?
Since you think American foreign policy is principley to blame for radical Islam’s violent streak, I thought you might want to read a column by an ex-Jihadist:
When I was still a member of what is probably best termed the British Jihadi Network - a series of British Muslim terrorist groups linked by a single ideology - I remember how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy.
By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this “Blair’s bombs” line did our propaganda work for us.
You getting paid for the propaganda, duane?

atlmalcontent, you know what? You are so right! The opinion of one person definitely represents the way every culture we have ever wronged and taken advantage of feels!! Thanks for sharing that, and introducing me to your profound logic!
Yeah, you would know much better than him. It’s not my opinion, it’s that of a former jihadist. But that conflicts with your neat little uninformed picture of the world. Notice you didn’t even argue his point — of course when you can’t face facts it’s impossible to have a dialogue.
