I don't have much tolerance for victim playing.
Mr. Shackleford, there will be a reckoning, as Dr. Evil says. Count on it.
Did you not read Wizard's post in the Suspension List thread? He basically told you to go after him if you're going to go after anyone, so there you go.
As far as I'm concerned, he's just sticking up for one of the mods who do their job there on a volunteer basis. If someone came into the soup kitchen where I volunteer and said anything that could be construed as a threat against me, while I wouldn't personally be the one asking for them to be banned from the premises, I would think that the Administration there would ban that person of its own accord.
Mission, to put it mildly, get the fuck real.
I am 64 years old. I have 17 arrests and no convictions. Just kidding, although people do believe that. It's a variation of a Big Jule quote from Guys and Dolls, "Well, I used to be bad when I was a kid, but ever since then I've gone straight, as has been proved by my record: Thirty-three arrests and no convictions!"
If I am going to threaten someone, I'm too arrogant and late in life to sugar coat it.
Speaking of Big Jule as a kid, the coming-of-age car story I mentioned to you a couple of months ago featured my first little gambling adventure in life. Both 17, my friend and I were driving around Schuylkill County in a Lincoln (which he did get title to two years later), picking up 10K here and 8K there for a place called the Jester Club. No adults chaperoned us. This was 1974 or thereabouts, and 10K then is roughly 45K now, so we were not a clown act. When people were short, we reported them as short, and actions were taken by the Jester Club. Nobody was ever short a second time. So that was my intro to gambling.
If I'm going to have somebody's legs broken, I'm not going to be shy about it. I will say, "I'm going to have gordo's legs broken." For the record, I also do not abide by the Italians' rules and regs. Those who understand what I'm saying, understand what I'm saying.
So this victim-playing by Shackleford is nonsensical. All it does is piss me off.
