Hello,

Saw a thread where I posted this: Thought it was appropriate for it's own thread. ------------------------------------------------------------------

Rasty, I agree. This forumn had seen it's better days come and go. I also agree with several others...especially "SAD" (above).

Basically, recently, my opinion of this place has fallen quite a bit. There used to be stuff posted of interest -- even though you had to wade thru a lot of muck for it. Now? Less and less every day. Sadly, most posting by the "doomer crowd" here is quite lacking in most of the ways "Sad" mentions. The logic, reasoning and so called "debate" that is posted would be laughable if it were not so sad; it's even worse than my spelling when I type!

More and more, I figure "Why bother -- they're idiots and ideological despots and facist" -- and incapable or unwilling to engage in a discussion". In fact, it's so sad recently, that it's not even much fun to BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!! at the idiots here. I guess when those here "reply" with deranged reasoning and lame attempts at debate enough times, you figure "why bother"...and "laughing at mentally deficient people really is not cool....my laughter and contempt has turned to disgust and pity" -- they're pathetic.

This place is in it's death throes...and several here who have invested a lot of time in this place will, I predict, exhibit even more pathetic behavior as they go thru their "greiving process" at the demise and death of their "baby" and "support group/cult".

There seems to be more and more people rubbing the doomers noses in it over the last few weeks. Good! Many of them NEED IT!!! With all the failed predictions, the lack of disaster from predicted "trigger dates" and the lack of REALLY BAD NEWS, what else is there for doomers who refuse to accept they were wrong to do? Just get more rabid, vicious and crazy -- that's what! Watch 'em come unwrapped more and more over the next several weeks. It would be both fun and funny if they were not so pathetic and pitiful.

Lastly, for those who adore me so....BWAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!!!

"Were" wrong? WERE WRONG? How can one be wrong in the past tense over preparations in the immediate present for an anticipated future contingency that has not yet occurred and was never anticipated in the first place except until 1-1-00? That's like saying I "was" wrong to pick Editor's Note to win the Belmont in '96 -- BEFORE the race is over. But I picked Editor's Note -- and although the horse ran last thorugh 3/4 of the race, and although I kicked myself all the way around the track -- he finished first. The only ones that never lost are thems that never played.

Genius (or lack there of)

For a place that is dieing it is getting alot of traffic. I can rarely avoid the dreaded "server busy" anymore.

As a regular I am devistated **VBG**

Is this a real indication of your intelligence? Just a question oll wylie.

TB2K in its death throes? Oh, not AGAIN! What is this, about the 14th time?

Plus here is a thread that has been up for only a few hours and lots of good advice. 23 responces at this time.

 Woodburning newbie fans fickle flames

The forum is alive and kicking. Go back to your WWF if you want excitement

Hey Non-Genius:

Then why are you here? Pretty stupid for you to come to a dying forum, isn't it?

-- scooby (scooby@doo.com), November 02, 1999.

You don't have to be a "Genius" to see that any dates people have predicted are just that...predictions

Their not coming to pass means nothing as they are only one of many possible futures

If this forum is in its "death throes" so what? Are you saying that this is some kind of victory for the pollies? Surely a "genius" could see that this might just mean that some of the serious preparers have either decided that there is nothing more to be gained by analysing every little comment in the media that gets posted or are just tired of banging their heads against a wall of small minded trolls who are just here to disrupt(obviously this does not mean all pollies)

Also there is,I am sure,a certain number of people who have "bugged-out" to new premises and are probably without an internet connection(I know I will be on Jan 1)

-- matt (whome@somewhere.nz), November 02, 1999.

good grief, guy. Sit down, take a deep breath. You really are sick. Can we get you a doctor?

Oh, you say you just escaped from them.

That explains it.

-- Doctor (Nutso@Asylum.Cell), November 02, 1999.

TROLL. STFU.

-- (a@a.a), November 02, 1999.

Mr. Genius, I would feel a LOT BETTER about your opinions if you could somehow link them to contrails...

-- Psychotic (y2k@doom&gloom.com), November 02, 1999.

Couldn't agree more. Pathetic, in it's death throes, etc. You got it babe.

This, of course, means that there is no real reason for you to ever waste your time bothering to check this site out again and even less for you to belittle yourself by posting anything.

So understanding that you were sincere in what you said I want to be the first to say goodbye.

This forum will not die even if every doomer becomes a polly as there will still be a dozen polly trolls to post each day

The Sodomites thought everything was rosy; The Eygptians chasing Moses thought everything was going their way; Goliath thought his world would not tumble down; Judas thought he made a great deal; The Genius thought the codes would not fail and the world would be wonderful.

The U.S. will handle the rollover, initially. Russia is toast. Germany will suffer immensely from that toast. The rest of Europe will falter due to Germany's problems. The rest of the world will stumble until it falls on it's collective faces due to Europe's problems. Do you play dominos, Genius?

-- DGBennett (bennett1@peachnet.net), November 02, 1999.

Codeslinger, would you like to predict the date for the requiem.

Genius

Let's see your Intertel card sir.Even a MENSA card will do.I think your intelligence is self proclaimed and unproven.

-- IQ cop (sorry you@don't.qualify), November 02, 1999.

Genius,

Please don't let this rage destroy you. This idea that you see yourself as a "genius" is just a symptom of your illness, because you feel alienated and inferior. But you are a good person deep inside, you just need help. Please tell your parents about how you feel about other people, and that you don't like feeling this way, and you want to be helped. Ask them to let you see a doctor, you will feel much better soon. Please do this before you end up in jail like this boy who did not ask for help.

-- Stuart Smalley (just@ask.4help), November 02, 1999.

I'm GOOD enough, I'm SMART enough, and dog-gone-it, people LIKE me.

Genius, I wish you could just shut your BIG YAPPER!!!!!

-- (lol@snl.characters), November 02, 1999.

Darn it Genius, you gotta take those pills on a regular basis... otherwise you get what you have written here today... You aren't thinking of calling Dr. Kevorkian again are you??? The interns will be by later with the straight jacket...

Please get a grip.

And really... if you really think this place is dying, then it probably IS your breath...

(snicker)

growlin' at the narrow mind...

Genius, Wise up. Civilization is in its death throes and we are mourning here. Do your own mourning later, if you like, but don't butt in on our grieving process.

-- Mara (MaraWayne@aol.com), November 02, 1999.

Call me a fascist doomer, but I would have deleted this. When a fight breaks out over some issue, that's OK -- this is just stupid.

-- Dave (aaa@aaa.com), November 03, 1999.

Genius--I am fairly new here but I don't understand how you can say everything is alright.I think y2k is about more than our computers. Open your eyes man----- earthquakes,mudslides,cyclones,hurricanes,floods,panic,starving people,planes falling from the sky,people without checks coming in---- HOW CAN YOU SAY NOTHING IS HAPPENING??????

-- Curly~Q (Curly@Q.COM), November 03, 1999.

Yea, this is pretty stupid. If this is the best that a GENIUS can come up with, man, are we in big trouble. No facts, no point, just noise, and BS noise at that!

As Andy Ray would say: Does Genius = Moron?

Tick... Tock... <:00=

Cheese, Genius!! How many time I gotta tellya?? It's its, not it's, ya big dumb. Get it straight!
