I know you can never answer a challenge, or face your and your goon crew's dupucity, but the blatant lame ass deflection are embarrassing you in front of all Usenet-- I was questioning the veracity of the author of this thread and his crap that you continue to bump to troll* people with...
Neither NG nor Waffle House have anything to do with it.

*Just like when people speak to you rationally without name calling, the sting of the truth makes you resort to outright vulgar troll reactions (let me post some examples for the readers that you're attempting to bamboozle), the bumping of the AAPC guidelines is again making you show your true troll face-- you respond with humping Dunce lies about people-- in public even!

You flatter yourself again, Ash.

There's nothing challenging about you.

HTH and HAND.

Lo7! Willy is getting testy, the usual dead beaten canned response one liner comeback with an attempted lame-- all totally out of context! You "flatter yourself" indeed by claiming to know how to read!! I didn't say I was the challenge, the challenge was the facts presented... and so it goes, some "Usenet pro" hiding his head up some dark hole and blows that tired old battlecry of his ego, all the while oblivious to the actual reality. Accursed it is to be trapped with such geniuses of mediocrity!

Like I said, you flatter yourself again, Ash.

There's nothing challenging about you.

And so it goes.

Lo7! Yes it does go, the donkey broken record-- someone smack it, it's stuck on the same lame track!
I tell him that he misunderstood a very obvious thing, and what does he do? He dismisses it as a "whine"-- what a typical "cool kid" troll! Also a perfect example of him censoring in his quote sections-- sniping is censoring.
Since you want me to flatter myself, let me oblige...

Yes, let us examine the fact that who Dance calls "trolls," are people that are doing no different than you and him-- so who's the trolls?
"The creatures outside looked from poet to troll, and from troll to poet, and from poet to troll again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
-- quote from the autobiography "I, George Dance, The New Queen of Nasty"- second handed from PJR who borrowed from George Orwell, who would approve of the use of the quote in this modern day example of his precautionary tale..

I'll have to look it up-- I'm more into the fringe and underground rather than mainstream rap...

Yes, let's examine that supposed "fact" and see if it really is one.

(1) The Bandar-Log like to pretend they're "better" than other people, claiming expertise -- in everything from psychology, to medicine, to literary criticism, to comics -- that they just don't have. Will and I do not. So that's one difference.

(2) The Bandar-Log like to make up rules (which they duplicitously call "guidelines" as a pretext to troll the other members here and disrupt their threads. Will and I do not. So there's another.

(3) The Bandar-Log like to call other people on the group "plagiarists" and "pedophiles" just as empty insults. Will and I do not. So there's a third difference.

So, after examining the Asstroll's purported "fact", one has to conclude that it's just another lie from the Bandar-Log.

It seems the Asstroll's on a role today. Not only is he confusing a Usenet post with an "autobiography" (an error he seems to have picked up from Michael Monkey), and getting its title wrong; but he's also attributed the quote to a former troll who never said it.

I haven't heard it, but I'm sure it's appropriately nasty.

I've been a fan of Eminem since "Lose Yourself", but I have to admit that I'm liking his newer work more; he seems to have lost his nasty edge and started to take a more wholesome view of life. One song that impressed me in that respect was "Headlights," a song about his mother. In that one he not only apologizes for his previous raprant about her, "Cleaning out my Closet," but actually tells her that he loves her.

Have never been a huge fan of ‘Em, but absolutely
Admired his Anti Trump
Stance… and yes, it’s
Nice to
See that he appears to have mellowed and matured somewhat in recent years…

Definitely doesn't look like something PJR would write, but you know how Ash gets confused and just starts making it up as he goes along.

I'm really out of the loop with Eminem, probably haven't heard anything he's done since around 2000-2001.

We now know why stiff Georgie will never make it as a writer, cannot grok the satire of "autobiographic"!
Someone disagrees with Dance, so much for Dance's ASSertions:

Oh! Poor Georgie, so inane... Actually ass, I have previously, publicly corrected that, so that quote is now just the Dunce truth spin edition... both versions describe Dunce so well as a wannabe politician!

Twilight of the New Gods - C, C & m/f T

to
//They do say that the World is a stage and so would be the venues of the Digital Age. And this place is as good as any for this, for me to play my part and howl my discontent into the discordant din of Dis on Earth...//

We New Gods, lightning we'll wield
to smugly sear our sullen skies
smote our "ungodly" foes that we despise
ever defiant to realities that will never yield

And as Human pride rises, rationality unwinds
The One Eyed King will always command the ignorance of the blind
And the meek shall inherit their World's untimely demise

For it's the Twilight of the New Gods, and the fall
of the night of the Hunter's hateful reign
upon their Human brethren, the kin slaying will begin
washing the moon with blood splatters, it will be devoured
as we become wolves to those we disempowered

"What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind."
~~ anonymous

Such a shameful legacy we have so carelessly sown, cruelly cultivated, it's bloody roots so well nourished, bearing such insidious strange fruit...

So beware of those who speak with blind hatred
for they don't see or reason, their souls vacated
by compassion and may chose anyone as their next prey
