poll: do we matter to the primitives?

[franksolich]

I took the "we" as meaning us, here on this board. I voted No. We don't matter, but we are a thorn in their side.

I've met too many primitives in my time and have found them all to be sanctimonious assholes. Nothing matters to them except their own bloated idea of just how wonderful they are and how you are just too stupid to understand.

They never change.

Damn.

You're good, sir.

I think you may have been talking to ronbots.

[Wineslob]

Why, Frank, you made me blush. 



No Ronbots. One is my Aunt, others are co-workers and the local students I happen across from time to time.

Hell yes we matter. All of those assclowns are trying to get Top Primitive Honors over here. Gives them street cred back at the DUmp.

I myself used to be much in favor of mattering to the primitives; ... Now I'm not so sure

You and I have talked about this via PM.  In fact, things are in place to see we get all the attention we want; it's just a matter of pulling the trigger.

Here's a story I've related before from January, 2004 at CU.  SR, SLW, DarK Halo, and others who were there can attest.

When the B/W forum started at CU, there was a primitive named ElectroPrincess who was, and probably still is, a good friend of SLW.  Her comment when we opened the B/W forum was "Now you've gone and done it!"  I wrote her that I didn't see the big deal, we were just a small board and they could care less that we exist.  But she remained adamant that we had opened Pandora's Box.  It was maybe 2 months after the B/W forum started that the primitive supercrash posted about us on Skin's island and the rest, as they say, is history.

Needless to say, they don't like being laughed at, belittled, and generally spit upon by us.  Tough.  Quite frankly, we're too nice to them.

At first the attention was fun.  They'd come over and spew their scripted talking points and we'd shoot them down while laughing in their faces.  But then it got to be mundane, and their contant need to comment and try to explain why they were so stupid got in the way of just enjoying the entertainment value they provided.  I found myself wishing they had never discovered us.  OTOH, there were several conservatives who were trolling the island who found us and the site grew by 10x virtually overnight, so some good did come from it.

I agree with wineslob to a large degree, but we do matter in that we get under their skin and point out their hypocracy, which burns them up to no end.  Oh yes, their words and PM's to those of us at CU at the time made it clear they wanted us to cease and desist from talking about them.

I firmly agree with you, frank, that the best thing they could do is forget we're here, as Skin's has ordered them to obey him in this matter.  Considering how accommodating and patient Skin's has been, they should extend to him that one courtesy, at the very least.

That's how I found CU. I had found DU thru a blog by the name of Rightwingnews back years ago. Guy that runs it actually writes for Townhall now. He used to poke fun of them all the time. Anyway... to make a long story short I would go over there and check it out from time to time. One day, they mentioned CU. So I checked out CU. Liked it, but never commented there since I was posting at RWN (under the same name too!). 

Anyhoo... at CU is where I first saw Frank posting. I always liked his posts. Then the Scamdy happened and all that. All of a sudden though it seemed like a bunch of posters over at CU left and the place kinda went downhill. So finally one day I google Franksolich and found CC. Since I ain't posting at RWN anymore I thought I would join here and the rest, as they say, is history.
