Huar, huar, huar.....

You know, the reference to the raging bs alone is a sign of deep dementia, typical only in hypersts of the worst kind.

If you are familiar with the FTEL thread, (I was for a while), until I had my own encounter with one or two members of the self appointed "dirty dozen" (I named them the old farts of the circus of the absurd.... originally as a joke), they chastised me, in essence I became a "traitor", they were outraged....

I was dumbfounded that otherwise seemingly "rational" people would become so outraged for such "evil" act.... (never mind that their beloved stock was sinking), and allow me to confess I was a long on that company. But not blindly so.

Anyway, the point is that, (after I left the old farts), they got tangled in a tizzy of major proportions with a poster that drove the lot absolutely crazy, to the point that apparently they attempted to mob against the one poster.....they prayed to the SI gods for this poster's dismissal, in proper cult-like fashion.

I do not know all of the details, as I rarely read that thread any more, (only here and there), but the end result it appears as though the mobsters got mobbed by SI no less, and a bunch of them (I have no idea how many), got kicked out !!!! I guess their praying was too intense and truly annoyed the SI gods, who promptly dispensed the sword of suspension. (permanent, I understand!)

Then to their chagrin, the poster they were mobbing against, STILL posts in that thread, and further I understand that amongst some of the now regulars, he has gained some degree of "respectability".

I must say that I personally dislike this particular poster since he seems to have a strange M.O. (more along the lines of a disturbed individual), but I simply ignore the man, no skin off my back.

The punch line in this story is, guess where this band of ragging bulls ended ?? Where else but their namesake.... Raging Bull.

Such event told me (together with the fact that they have the infamous "ignore" button), to stay away from such moron paradise, my tolerance level does not allow me to read incessant rubbish... hype, hype, hype, hype... it is damaging to the brain, besides, I only have so much time allotted to moronia.....
