The Thread Killer

Oh good...a new gimmick. I was just thinking that was what this place was missing.

I feel that I have to chime in here, I'm sorry. I, like many other people who have known him, felt sorry for TheGame2705. When he was a member at WDI, I tried being nice to him, even though I was warned by everyone that knew him that he was mentally unstable. Sure enough, the EXACT SAME THING happened to ME that people warned me about. It's no secret that I have always been a fan of the writing of Charles "Loss4Words" Williams. I have known Loss4Words since the old Smarkboard days, and I think he is an excellent writer, and a hell of a nice guy. In fact, I have NEVER seen Loss4Words say a bad word about anybody online...ever...except TheGame. That probably should have been my first clue...but it wasn't. I for one, believe that TheGame was cyber-stalking Loss4Words, and with my own two eyes, I saw him write a post where he said that he hoped Loss4Words got AIDS. As someone who is supposed to be gay or bi-sexual himself, I couldn't believe that he would say something so disgusting, so that pretty much made me decide...TheGame is not a good human being. THEN...I saw the post he made about Hoff, mocking him and his appearance. THIS after the countless times I had seen Hoff tell OTHER people off for being mean to TheGame! The old saying "With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies" came to mind. So I decided to stop communicating with him. I blocked him on AIM, and he was banned at WDI, so I never saw him, and was happy. As far as I was concerned, he was just an unpleasant person. I didn't care if the rumors about multiple user ID's and cyber stalking were true or NOT. I had seen him say absolutely revolting things to people who used to be his friends, so I decided I didn't need to associate with this kind of person. So what happens after I stop talking to him? I start getting hate email. At the time, I had my own column at 411 called "The Skeptic Tank." After every column, I could count on some bizarre psychotic rant being sent to me, from TheGame telling me what a lousy writer I was. I didn't care, because I didn't particularly respect the opinion of a person who's greatest accomplishment himself as a writer, was detailed post about how he choked on his boyfriend's ass hairs. (This led to The Illustrious One's favorite quote of mine: "Well, I might be a bad writer, but by gawd, I never let anybody give it to me up the hoop out of sympathy neither.") However, it became almost impossible for me to post here at TSM, since everytime I posted, I could count on being flamed by TheGame, telling me how I didn't know ANYTHING, and I was a lousy writer, and I was OLD. So my point is this...if you don't want to believe the stories about his insane behavior...fine. Don't. But know this, once you incur his wrath, no matter how much he may have liked you in the past, he will turn on you at the drop of a hat. I have seen it happen to Loss4Words, Hoff, and myself. Hell, look at how much he HATED WDI. He used to spend an inordinate amount of time here at TSM bashing the place, yet he himself was once a member, and once banned, he BEGGED to be let him back. Yet once we said no...THEN it sucks? So why did he want back in, and why did he keep sneaking in with other user names? His only excuse is, "it wasn't me, it was someone pretending to be me." Well, nice try, but he posted the disgusting insults under his own name at WDI, and was trolling me here at TSM under his own name. You have to ask yourself a question, with all of the different people who have stories about his insane behavior...with all that smoke, isn't there bound to be SOME fire? If Loss4Words, and Hoff, and myself are such terrible people, then why waste so much time flaming us? Why take the time to troll me after every post I made? I'm sorry, but if it walks like a psycho, and talks like a psycho, and looks like a psycho, then guess what? I once wrote something about him in the Flaming Folder, which a few people told me they thought summed him up PERFECTLY... This has been my attitude towards TheGame, so normally I just ignore him. But to see him defended by people, or to see people buy the famous "It wasn't me...I'm innocent...It's a conspiracy against me...It's somebody else using my name" argument? I think not. Hoff fell for that. stardust fell for that. I fell for that. If you're NEXT to fall for that, don't say you weren't warned.

So you actually SAW the show? The main event put Styles over, since all the announcers did was keep hammering home the fact that Styles belonged in there with Jarrett, Sting, and Luger. Hell, Sting got on his KNEES, and pointed to Styles, and took the mic, and said that Jarrett and Luger WEREN'T in Styles' league...implying that Styles was BETTER than they were. Hart and Sting did nothing but give Styles the rub this week...of course you needed to actually SEE the show to know that. Plus once again, Raven was ALL OVER the show, including a build to another match with him and Jarrett, when he got the pop of the night for calling out Jarrett and got a HUGE "Raven" chant going. It's SO obvious those two are heading for another match...of course, you'd KNOW that if you SAW THE SHOW.

That's sad on about 157 different levels.

Shhh. He's on a silent protest, against Zack and we're all supporting him...as long as he remains SILENT.

I am counting down the days until New Years Day. The last time I had a drink was New Years Eve last year. It was so stupid. I was at this party, and they were handing out champagne to toast at the stroke of midnight, and there were a whole bunch of people there, most of whom I had know for a long time, but had no idea about my arrest or that I had a problem. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, so like an IDIOT I drank the champagne, and then got SO pissed off at myself afterwards. I really want to make this one year. I would never have been able to stay sober if not for AA. It's so great to sit down with people who have the same problem as you, and talk, and know they listen, and stay sober to help them too. I tell the kids I work with all time, getting high and drinking is GREAT! They look at me like I'm nuts, but it's true. It is fun. It rules. It feels about a million times better than being sober. There are so many days I just miss being able to have a drink, and relax. I envy people who can do that. I just can't. I'm not ashamed of that, it's just the way things are. If getting high and drunk wasn't fun, people wouldn't do it. It's like paying full price to see a movie. You have to decide how much you want to do it, and if the price bothers you, or are you willing to pay that price. It's like Hoff said, I guess I'm just not wired like that. Once I get a few beers into me, it's like a monster controlling me. I don't like how it feels...so for ME personally, it's not worth the price any more. It was so simple. When I quit, a guy at AA asked me, two simple questions. Was I still having fun, and was it worth the price. In neither case, could I answer YES. Tom, in your case, I bet if you were doing something that was hurting you, and you weren't enjoying anymore, you COULD stop. You're just one of the people who can do things in moderation, or at least you can moderate your excess. I got to the point where I couldn't do that anymore. I abused it so much, it took control. Booze turned on me...so I had no choice but to get away. I am proud of being sober, but like I said, the main reason I identify with the sXe movement is NOT to beat people over the head, or to preach, but just to tell other people, especially younger ones...it's OKAY to say NO. There are other people that do. If there are people who are sXe and proud, and it helps kids say NO when they don't want to say YES, then I think it's a good thing.

You're not the boss of me. Nobody tells me when to get off the computer except my wife.

I have to say, and I never thought I'd say this...that SNKT is pretty much a blueprint of how a messageboard SHOULD be run. I really enjoy that place. Even though I had been in "flame wars" with other people over there, it's all about the conversation, and I really like it. Even though in the past I have butted heads with Bruiser, and CJ, I have no beef with those guys now and they run a tight ship. Two thumbs up from me...for what's it's worth.

Uh it was a joke. Irony. You're making fun of me for being a drunk, and then say "pint" get it? You don't KNOW me Banky, nor do you know the whole story of what happened with WDI. You know one side, and you decided because of that, you think you can tell if I have "redeeming value." How can you have "grievances" with me if you don't even know me? I've never chatted with you in private ONCE. If you think you can judge a person soley based on what you hear from other people and what you see on a messageboard...then you must be lying when you say you don't take this stuff seriously. I always assumed you were just a dude with WAY too much time on your hands, who gets off on pushing people's buttons. I don't know jack shit about you more than that. It's obvious from this thread that you have some sort of issues with me...which I find odd, since I rarely give you a second thought unless you happen to be posting in a thread I am. You need to relax Banky. If you're that upset about what happened at WDI, you can feel free to hit me up on AIM one night and we can talk about it.

Booze on the brain. Who's the addict here?

You said it, not me. Suggesting that I went to school, and spent the last 13 years of my life working with abused kids so I could "meet" them...this is funny to you, is it? Interesting.

Just so we're clear "Tigger" what would you be implying by making that comment?

I don't think it, I know it. Josh never had a problem with me kicking WDI off the Shoot Server, since he runs it. Go back and read what he wrote. I talk to Josh every day, and we're fine. If you don't believe me, ask him. Hoff contacted me the night I put that post up to make sure he and I were still cool. I said we are, so he said good. Stevie couldn't possibly care less, and told me that. So once again, you don't know what the heck you're talking about. I get along fine with Josh, Hoff and Stevie, and if you don't believe me, ask them yourself. As far as owning a server...yes you're right. I bought a server for Shoot Project. I own webspace, on which an e-fed is hosted. I don't own the e-fed, Josh does, and I don't run the e-fed, Josh does...I'm just a member there. For the one millionth time, I never wanted WDI on that server, that's not why Josh and I got it. I didn't want WDI on a server I paid for, so I gave them two weeks to move. Ohhh. I'm evil. So you think Witty was correct about me? Fine. I think Josh was correct about him. Big whoop. Look at you, all riled up, calling me a bad person. You're right Banky. You can tell what kind of person I am. You sure can. I should be a better person like you, and make fun of people with addictions. There seems to be a problem here, Banky. You seem all riled up and very upset. Are you going to be okay? I thought the internet was not be taken serious, and is just for joking? You're awfully emotional about this. Did you need me to refer you to a Social Worker, so you can talk about your constant need for attention, and your unresolved anger issues? I know some people, I can give you some numbers. It looks like you need help.

I'm thinking that it's a one shot deal, since Luger supposedly has heat with most of the NWA guys who worked the WWA tours. At least I hope it's a one shot deal...anyhow I really liked tonight's show either way.

I'm proud to be in recovery, so if making jokes about addiction are supposed to bother me, you'll have to try harder than that. A lot harder. If I wasn't okay with the fact that I am in recovery, I never would have told anybody about it. As far as me telling you you're a dick Banky...what's the point? You know you're a dick, you're trying to be a dick, and the sad thing is, you're not even really all that good at that. Jubuki, now THERE was a guy who knew how to get under people's skin and piss them off. You're about half a step above The Game...you don't stalk people or talk about your gay sex, but you do the same old boring shit over and over again trying to get attention and a rise out of people. You've admitted it, so why should I get into a big thing with you? Been there, done that, and it was boring. As I recall, the best you could come up with is: "You're old, you're a bad social worker." And now you've added "You're an addict" to your arsenal. Ooooh. What was your first clue, the giant neon banner in my sig? You're a one trick pony, and the one trick you have isn't even all that amusing. All I said was that you don't know what you're talking about when you said that I stabbed Josh, Stevie, and Hoff in the back. And you don't. No big thing.

Well, considering Hoff, Stevie, Josh and I are all on perfectly good terms...it looks like you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. There's a shocker.

Pffft. UGS = gPc wannabees

I was here from way back. I lurked at Rantsylvania. When they changed to The Smarks, I signed up as "Diamond Dave 2000" and then when I kept killing conversations because nobody would talk to the newb, I changed my name to The Thread Killer. The rest is history. Okay...not really, but I've been around since the old green Rantsylvania board. And along with HoffmanHBK, Stevie B., and TheIllustriousOne, I was a part of the deadliest clique EVER: The GHEY POSTING CLIQUE!

That's a name from Star Trek.

I like Sandman. I don't know why, and there's no reason I should, I just always have. Kind of a guilty pleasure. I'm glad he's back. (Ducks all the stuff everybody throws at him.)

So I have been here at TSM Board since pretty much Day One. I was a member at the various incarnations of the Smarks Board before that. You will notice that I am the 31st member of this board. Today, I made my 100th post. So, it took me almost two years to get to 100 posts, which is about 50 posts a year. I would like to invite you ALL back here on November 1st 2021, at which time, by my calculations, I will be celebrating my 1000th post. You can't say I didn't give you enough notice, so I expect you all to be here. (I wonder how many posts Choken One will have by then?)

Yeah. What I have noticed around these parts is that newbs get shat upon (sometimes for very good reasons mind you) and if you are a mod, write for TSM, or have been here for a while, you are immune from some of the bile. Therefore, since you have been here longer than me, you are better than me. But you probably knew that already.

Pffft. There's no WAY I would ever become a Post Whore. That would mean I would resort to posting for no good reason... (+1)

My name is Dave, and my anti-drug is crystal meth. No...wait. I think it DOES take strength to stay sober, and I know this, because I've done it...and it's HARD. As I said, I have plenty of friends who get high all the damn time, and that's fine with me, I just don't do it. Although...I have also seen the long term effects of pot use on these guys, and it's made me glad I quit. I am not sure of the medical science and statistics behind prolonged cannibis use, (nor do I wish to) but I know it does fuck with your sperm...and can affect motivation in the long term. I have a hard enough time not getting fired for being lazy when I'm clean...the last thing I need is locoweed helping me get lazier.

Good point. I didn't mind Shane not being great until he started getting such a huge push and beating guys like Sabin and Daniels...then I got pissy. And yeah, was anybody tired of Sabin with the X Belt? I know I wasn't. And really, if I'm happy, then everybody's happy. (smarkthink)
