I understand what the thread was about, I just didn't really see the humor in it.

I find it funny that those of you that took part in it are so upset that no one found it as funny as you did.

Mule

lol.

were overlapping posts

no im not upset you didnt find it funny... i am just having a hard time understanding why you need to tell anyone it wasn't funny....

we know that people who weren not in on it wouldnt find it funny

Al Sharpton : High profile public instigator.

The fraud that you speak of : High profile public case involving the city , the press , and a lot of public outcry.

I think you're being a bit dramatic. This is a small fraction of the universe with a few thousand members and possible a few hundred active ones. A majority of the active ones are pretty femiliar with each other through either personal contact or from this site.

Not quite random people who are relatively femiliar with each other snickering among themselves is a far cry from a semi-respected public figure trying to stir up a riot with false acusations.

And try to remember that this IS the internet. What's the rule again? Believe half of what you see , 20% of what you read and 10% of what you hear.

ok, maybe the Sharpton reference was a bit much.

I'm really not all that pissed off, I guess I was just trying to stick up for those of us that were concerned that it may have taken place. I usually refrain from replying to posts like these because it is the internet, and everyone is full of crap.

So, consider me officially out of the battle.

no its cool... honestly im as anti-racist as the next guy and ivan is someone i consider a friend... Ivan has more friends on this board than most members i think... if it was real it would have been dealt with...

i stoppoed posting originaly because i thought it might be too obvious if i was siding with a racist against ivan

I really didn't understand the whole point of the joke. If he wants to do things like this that's his perogative.

I am curious to know how he feels about overheated tractor trailers filled with fat Star Wars geeks dressed as Jedi's.....

your an idiot

And you are a poor excuse for a man who is deep in debt and lives off his wife...

Checked out your link . Damn , I haven't read right wing propaganda so extreme since I last happened upon a John Birch society newsletter. No wonder you weren't offended by the "joke". You Probably find this funny:



Although , they should really figure out the differences between communists , nazis and Democrats.



Didn't the communists fight the nazis? So which one is she?

Although I did find this kind of funny:

As I said before, the whole point of the "Joke" was to get a reaction out of people. I think it is fair to say that they were successful with their "Joke!" Well....if a joke is successful...then doesn't that mean it is funny?? So through a little bit of reasoning....it was fricken hilarious because they got 11 pages of shit in like 3 days!!!

it was intentional... i swear

I guess that begs the question: if the only person laughing is the one telling the joke, is it really funny? If a comedian on stage is the only one laughing at his act, is it really funny? Is SNL funny because the actors find it funny? Get a clue.

ivan is not the only one laughing

Wow I am getting amazingly little crap over this. I alone started this whole thing. I brought up topics that I would find insulting to make it convincing. NYmadman ripped me a little but that is it so far, I love that guy. Bring it on you wussies direct your anger where it belongs.

I win again.

Everything is subjective.

A lot of supporting members thought it was fun. Maybe not funny, and I didn't think it was funny to the point I was laughing or falling out of my chair, but it sure beat the fucking hell out of watching you try to wind up the NY Asshole for a reaction, and in turn once again listen to him try to guess your gender or sexual orientation . . .

It was something to do on a Friday afternoon. And if I had thought of it first, I prob'ly would have tried it . . .

It was an inside joke, and sometimes it's fun to be on the inside of a harmless joke, even just for a few hours . . .

I apologize if everyone's skin is so thin that you all feel mad to be taken advantage of on a fucking Internet site.

April Fool's day must really yank your chain, eh?

Ha Ha Ha..Cocksuckers, each and every one of you

You're not really this stupid, are you? You've spent just as much of your precious existence "winding up the Madman" as I have.

Oh, but it does beat the hell out of watching you correct everyone's spelling and grammar. Yeah, that never gets old. :rolleyes:

I jumped in on the "joke" not because I thought it was a funny joke, but I thought it was a great prank to play on you non paying members. Some of the reactions and posts in the ALR were very entertaining. If you are upset because you weren't in on the gag, well boo fucking hoo! If you're upset because we tried to bait you with vague references to a heated race discussion in a restricted forum, lighten up Francis.

It was fun, I just wish we could have kept it going a bit longer so the racial discussion could really get going in the ALR.

I just want you guys to know that this whole thing was carlton's idea. He was afraid that I would tell you all since he is a moderator and abusing his power. He just banned and unbanned me to try to threaten me into keeping quiet but I am sure as hell not scared of that midget. I will probably be banned after this.

now thats the reaction i expected

I really dont like carltons new "Uber-mod" status... he needs to put the admin title under his name if he is going to moderate all forums... its creepy, tough luck on th power play ivan, but what can you do

HEY!!! don't try to drag me into this Ivan... Butthole

Could this thread please be moved to the who gives a fuck forum?

Thank you.
