Would you two get a damned room? Seriously, I like both of you but this the 3rd thread in a week hijacked by your personal pissing contest. Others would like to post too. On the topic. Y'all can believe whatever you want and fuss n fight like an old married couple but could you contain it somewhere? Y'all have trainwrecked some good threads.

This is how you keep contention alive, isn't it, FJ ... and certainly a part of why Gunny has cause for complaint.Originally Posted by fj1200
You've just lied. End Of.
It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

Jim has already suggested the Steel Cage, I think .... which I'd be fine with. Although it wasn't too long ago that FJ received a challenge there (not from me), and when things got a little uncomfortable, he bailed ....

Why do you think he bailed?

Because arguing with a brick wall is arguing with a brick wall? That cuts BOTH ways, BTW. I wouldn't call FJ bailing. Getting bored would be more like it. Like I said, I get along with both of them and there's nothing personal here. It's all over the place though. Like a Trump thread. Everything isn't about Trump, and everything isn't about Drummond and FJ. It's all about ME, dammit.

For the same reason he often does, Perianne. There's only so much of a direct challenge that FJ can take, before it becomes painfully obvious that he's bogus. We've seen the pattern adopted in arguments ... initial pedantry, followed by mucking around with others' quotes, followed (when being very obviously bested) by insults.
When the direct challenging just continues, when none of the squirming achieves anything, he'll bail.
There's one ultimate point from all of this which stops me from giving you a complete answer. The point is that FJ could start representing himself honestly. He bails rather than doing so.
Precisely why that is .. I can only guess. It makes sense to suppose that he's following a political agenda he'll neither choose to abandon, or just maybe CANNOT abandon. I suspect the latter, and I cite FJ's refusal to criticise Obama to any really meaningful degree. My thinking is that just maybe FJ has 'comrades' who monitor his progress here, who'd not take kindly to his going too far to cover himself ... so, he ducks that situation. He COULD theoretically go 'the max' and claim total and uncompromising opposition to Obama, but ... it doesn't happen.

Not to point out the obvious, but maybe he has a job? Best I can tell, he's on at lunchtime and maybe in the evening. Most employers frown on posting on their time.

Perhaps.
Though, an excuse FJ gave for not replying to my recent challenge to him was that a weekend intervened ! I suppose he might be a weekend worker (maybe moonlighting as a security guard somewhere ?) .. though as excuses go, on the face of it, it seems flimsy.
Just Me
Just because we old guys don't have a life doesn't mean the young 'uns don't. Best I can tell, FJ's quite a few years younger than us. And I could be wrong but I don't recall him being around on weekends. If you were looking for me on Friday or Saturday night before 2010, good luck. Better come look in the bar. I was usually on for about 20 minutes before work, and after I came home, took a nap, worked out I'd be on from basically 8-10 or 11.
Then there're these NFL freaks. This place is a ghost town on Sunday during football season.
You have to look at people's posting patterns. I hated being accused of bailing when "bailing" consisted of climbing 8 foot ladders carrying 20 pounds of tools all day in 100 degree weather.
And, if he's like me, I don't remember what thread I was posting in yesterday. If you don't draw attention to it and it falls out of the top 10 over a coffee or poetry thread, I won't remember it happened. Especially if it's the same argument with the same person thread after thread. I currently have NO idea how many Trump threads I've posted in. They're all the same.
Same goes with you and FJ. You two get into a pissing contest and everyone else are the ones who bail. We don't want to be in the middle of the crap, nor take sides. My personal take I've said before ... you take this personally and FJ is just messing with you. You don't wrestle in the mud with a pig. You both get dirty but the pig likes it. You're playing HIS game.

Extending your logic is not a lie.
You're incapable.

I was checking my broken watch and discovered that it too is right more often than you two. I was also trying to find out where I supposedly bailed.

That lie and cry comes from libs, leftists, socialists dems , media , ignorant Hollywood celebrity types, OBAMA AND HIS MINIONS and those assorted maggots!
Trump has great advisers and already knew he could do that..
Too many people repeating too many damn media hyped lies and carrying the water for the dems to attack our strongest candidate! Even people on our side doing that.. -Tyr

You checked a BROKEN watch ?I was checking my broken watch and discovered that it too is right more often than you two. I was also trying to find out where I supposedly bailed.
... It gets worse. You're rechecking a BROKEN watch repeatedly ?
When did you first discover it was broken ? This time last month ?
Seek help, my son. Try not to forget to.
