I certainly can read. You post didn't address what I asked. Your post said you had "sympathy for me" but nothing about the offensiveness of his post.
I don't think you even understand what happened yet you chime in with your usual insulting drivel. My remark was no defense of the FB group. It was pointing up that TSchmal had made an offensive and tasteless post about a very serious matter.
Look up the word "artifice" in the dictionary. That's what was going on. If I had really wanted to lie about it, I would have never come clean on what I had been trying to do. End of story.
is there anything more entertaining on this bbs than the monthly giddyup's preceived self-martyrdom and everyone with half a brain calling him out on it? no. not only did he not get the original point of the post wishing he got cancer, he's showing (once again) what a huge hypocrite he is. giddyup, who was hurt by his post "hoping" you got cancer? who is hurt when people pray for obama to die?
It's the same 8-10 jackals every time. Do I need to list your names? Sorry you only have half a brain.... :grin: I got the original point of the post. I thought and still think it was in poor taste because you never know who is battling cancer and as others have pointed out, in reality, most of us are touched by it one way or another.
When did you admit your "ploy" was also in bad taste? Please link me that post. It's amusing that you don't see you did a similar thing as I did: using cancer to make a point. I've admitted it was a bad idea. Have you? Again, link the post if you can. So it's my fault because I was not constantly monitoring a thread? I'm sorry my life isn't so devoted to this particular thread on this particular forum. I'm so, so sorry, giddyup. Will you ever forgive me? I thought it was obvious I was kidding and didn't actually wish that upon you and I thought the point I was trying to make was obvious too and felt there was no need to continue watching this thread. It's like you're expecting a grand apology for not believing your self-admitted lie (which, I will add, was obviously a lie even without admission because it was way too convenient for you -- it's like someone doing a "your mom" joke and then the response being "my mom is dead."). It actually spun "out of control" when I admitted it was in poor taste (which, again, you have not done yourself for your own little "ploy"). You decided to try and dig it in as much as you possibly could because you wanted some sort of sick satisfaction from it all. It could have ended with me simply saying it was in poor taste and that you didn't get my point, but no, you continued it as if on some sort of crusade for all cancer victims across the planet.
BTW, the other reason I wasn't crying myself to sleep about it was because I was kidding to make a point.
Coincidentally, his post was a deliberate attempt to make you feel sheepish about your posts (where you said it was no big deal to wish someone dead on the internet). How can oyu not see that the attempt was to play you and for you to react just as you did (sans the lying, of course...just the outrage). Oh, because Obama is a public figure? That was your lame line of demarcation? hey - did you know that the internet is public? Did you know that you post on the internet as "giddyup" (previously "RocketRich" or "RichRocket" or whatever) which is...a public identity different from your personal one? Do you think the private Obama is the same as the public Obama? What about giddy vs Rich (I think you had said way back that was your real name because everyone assumed you were bragging over wealth)? Do oyu think that, in spite of Obama the president being a public figure, it might suck for the private Obama to see people wishing death on him just as private you were annoyed by public TSchmal "wishing" (it should be noted that many people out there wish real death on Obama) public giddy's death? I know, giddy, I am just on a personal crusade against you so I am twisting to make you look bad. Sorry, I am a bad, stupid person.
That was actually directed at Giddyup over his story about how he survived cancer 15 years ago. Unfortunately I was taken in by it. As for your mom I definately wish her and the rest of your family good luck with her treatment.
tschmals post was designed to expose the hypocrisy of you, liar. and you mock people for feeling sympathy for you regarding your fake cancer. you are a real swell guy. im not calling you a piece of garbage, but anyone who would lie about having cancer in order to get one up on a basketball message board and then mock those who he perceived felt sympathy for him can be nothing but a giant piece of garbage. again, not saying you are a piece of garbage, just that someone who does what you did can be nothing but one. tschmals "assault" was totally appropriate and in bounds, as he was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of your argument.
yes. you think its ok to pray to god to wish the president dead. this was your first post in the thread... here is your 2nd post... you have done nothing but defend and make excuses for this, but when the same is applied to you, you lie about having cancer in order to make someone feel bad. or did you think that tschmal, like the child he certainly must be, believed that wish come true?
