    Agreed. Jopatmc, I enjoy your Rockets posts quite a bit. I get that you're confident in a Romney win, but politics is not worth leaving the board over.

    Having said, though, you are acting like a massive tool in D&D. If you win your stupid bet, you need to tone down the rhetoric... by like 92%. Otherwise, your reputation will be d-o-n-e, regardless of what sub-forum you post in.

    Repped. I oversimplified his posts these past few weeks as douchebaggery. Is this better, jopat?

    Actually, if he wins the bet, he would be well justified in toning the rhetoric up, as all of you who have been verbally assaulting him for these last few weeks will have been officially and decisively pwned. At that point, it will be time for the losers to tone down the rhetoric. That sounds more appropriate, don't you think?

    In fact, it is the people that have been maligning jopatmc that are the total tools. But certainly there is no new ground being broken on that score.

    quick question: when one says A has 90% chance of beating B in a presidential election, does it necessarily mean A will win be a landslide?

    Anyone who disagrees with you is clearly persecuting you. In addition, if you say something remarkably dumb and someone points out that it was dumb, they probably want to murder you and take a **** on your corpse.

    Of course math has a liberal bias. I am pretty sure the republican party is against math and science. How dare schools teach evolution.

    You obviously don't know what a "Scientific theory" is then.

    I am aware that gravity is also a theory.

    I was being sarcastic.

    I offered to modify the deal with ZBoy. He refused. Your message should be directed towards him.

    It's not. And I offered to modify the deal with ZBoy. He refused.


    If you will go back and read the posts, you will see that one poster wanted to do a one-year boot. I responded with the offer of a lifetime boot simply to get him off my back. Then Zboy jumped in with "Deal". So, I'm not the one that offered up the original deal. It was the result of guys not wanting to discuss facts but wanting to scare me off. I didn't scare. I upped the ante and some "genius" responded deal. Then the said genius didn't back off when I offered to modify the deal.

    So, there you have it. You can discuss this situation with Zboy and figure out why he didn't modify the deal. Because the board is going to lose him...not me.

    I will post your own words and the post for everyone to see and decide. The deal was proposed by you and directed towards me. I just accepted it. :)

    You should be careful when throwing out offers!

    There is a 92 % chance that you will in fact be the president of the United States. I've never been wrong before.

    I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of jopatmc quotes thrown around here soon enough.
