I've met him and downed a few pints with him. I think I know him pretty well.

Posting about dead Americans makes beetle's nipples get hard.

You are crazy Beetle! You got me.. OK. The old trolling on a BBS...

Damn you. You are a wildman!

S!

Curv,
You think a troll using an airplane crash where people died something to praise as a good thing?

SOB · « **Reply #20 on:** November 06, 2004, 01:13:54 PM »

Fat, lazy, out of shape Amurrikans are doing our part to save Social Security. Think of the savings we create by lowering life expectancy while the government raises the retirement age! I'm pretty sure I should be receiving some sort of award.

The crash was a tragedy.

Beet1e using a UK rag to suggest that fat Americans were the culprits and seeing the chagrin of Creamo et al did tweak the old funny bone...but only because it was such an obvious troll.

You were over at Check 6 when Funky and SOB were posting all that "funny" stuff about the 9/11 Donkey Kong game but weren't questioning them on that.

Why me on this?

Stringer · « **Reply #22 on:** November 06, 2004, 01:53:16 PM »

Why not you on this?

I know what Beetle was doing with this. It's his usual stuff.

I didn't think the donkey kong thing was funny or in good taste either.

Satisfied?

Ya... so have I. He couldn't help but comment on how fat he thought americans were.

So... is a troll where someone just posts something to try to get a reaction... or can it be when the person truly believes the material he is posting and feels it supports his own observations?

This isn't a troll. It's actually a belief. The fact that you think it a troll pretty much sums up the opinion.

I disagree.

I remarked to a friend the other day that all the British chicks on the amateur porn site I visit occasionally all seemed to be hideously ugly.

Is this a belief I hold sacred? Do I now believe all British women who pose naked on the internet, or British women in general, are hideous? Of course not.

Whatever...I viewed Beet1e's post as a "super obvious" little jab at Americans. String says it this way "I know what Beetle was doing with this. It's his usual stuff." I agree with him.

I was not trying to say the event itself was funny at all, just that this was typical Beet1e and that he hooked a bunch with it.

You had beers with him too. How'd that go? Did you enjoy yourself despite your obvious differing points of view (and your indignation that he thinks Americans are fat), or did the fisticuffs fly? I'm guessing the former as I'm sure that would have been BBS news by now.

Beetle isn't a bad guy, he just likes to flame a little like a lot of us.

Funny thing is, Beetle is kinda fat himself

It wasn't quite like that. At that gala dinner on the last night of the con, I was on your table, with Tomato, Funked and a few others. And Funked was asking you how the journey with SOB down from Oregon had gone. And you said it had gone OK, except that you'd had to do all the driving because SOB could not fit behind the steering wheel of your car.

You also had to concede, along with Lazs, that my teeth were not crooked, and were in good condition.

Mini D · « **Reply #29 on:** November 06, 2004, 06:26:40 PM »

Actually, you commented on how amazed you were to see so many overweight Americans (weren't talking about the con... just in general). That's what brought the "your teeth aren't as crooked as we thought they'd be" stereotype statement.

And curval, you seemingly think I'm condemning someone for something here. That's not the case. I just find it amuzing that you decided to dismiss this thread as a troll. If you really believe that, you have not read anything beetle has been posting for the last 2 years. I'm not saying the posts aren't laughable, I'm just disagreeing on the intentions.
