A single post is not enough; it ain't gonna happen. Oh well, two outa three ain't bad, so just I'll take the post for myself....
The third bet was that one of y'all mods would write in red by 150. A long shot, as neither bngbuck nor marty are very obnoxious; just frustrating.

Thanks for the thought, but sadly, 'close' only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, and we must abide by the rules of the game. It is what raises us above the inferior orders.

Don't think that will work, Cune. I politely made the same request of Marty way back on page 6. He responded by critiquing my avatar.
Marty strikes me as the type of person who loves the idea of lording secret knowledge over other people's heads. When he lacks such knowledge, he fakes it anyway. It reminds me of those old cartoons where a character peers into his clasped hands as if holding something in order to rouse other's curiosity. And then of course refuses to let them look themselves, since he isn't really holding anything at all. The entire point of the game is to be a tease.

| I wanted your opinion on the question, NOT on the specific instances of observations of UFOs. |
Without a specific instance to examine, no one can offer you a reasonable opinion. Also (without a specific instance), if we do offer you an opinion, we are forced to accept the premise of your question.
So really, you are just a troll trying to provoke a response. Thanks for clarifying that for us.

From page 5
| The funny thing is he was gauging your reactions to a question of opinion. Dave, you and a few others do not get it and still after rereading the posts (if you read them in the first place) will not get it. |
I said this only one page before you asked.

Beautiful response. From now on, anytime you suggest someone else should read the thread, you make sure to think back upon your own failures to do so. |

You are not interested in the answerers to your unknown questions (if there are any).
You are a MODERATING TROLL!
Are the other posters fooled by you?

marty, nobody buys your bullshit. Everyone knows you are trolling in the most obvious way. Jerk.

Yes, he has nothing to say he is sorry for.
| Will you respond to the substantive portions of my post, or must I be satisfied with your insistence that you feel no need to apologize for insulting everyone who has ever posted anything that could be called a "rant" here on these forums? |
You were asked what were the substantive portions of your post and you refused to answer.
| What part of any of what I wrote is a "projection of self?" Or is the problem that I'm not criticizing GeeMack for being insulting like I'm criticizing bngbuck for being insulting? |
The part in which you do exactly what you are accusing others of doing.
No.
| So shall I assume that your answer to my question is that you will not address the substantive portion of my first post in this thread? |
You were asked what those portions were and never responded.
| I didn't use the word "question." Does an important point really need to be in question format for a response to be expected? |
No to the question, but your response is a lie.
| Why aren't you addressing my earlier post that was actually written to you, anyway? Should I have asked you what the word was? |
Because you were trolling. What word?
| Speaking of incorrect premises, marty, are you ever going to acknowledge your hypocrisy? |
No, because there was none.
| How, marty, is that not an assertion of fact? |
Because you are too dumb to understand even after it has been explained several times.
| What tactics would those be, marty? What is it that you think I am? |
Trolling tactics.
You are a moderating troll.
| What's that word again, marty? |
You tell me.
More projection?
| For what purpose did you even make the claim? If it were of no importance to you for the purposes of this discussion, why bother defending it? |
He made no claim; your inability to discern what is going on gets more amusing all the time.
He defended nothing.
| Do you need this spelled out for you? |
No, I read the other thread. You are an ass, they were respectful.
| Why did you decide to act differently here than over there, bngbuck? What prompted the snottiness here? |
Because you allow people to act like asses and the other forum is respectful.
His snottiness was predicated by what you encourage here.
| Are you never going to answer them? |
Which ones?
| Is he a 79-year-old working on a book, or a 17-year-old with a high-school level psychology project? |
A 79 year old working on a book.
Not to a moderating troll. You will insult anything that comes along.
| If he writes this up as "I set myself up as a rude, arrogant prig and got abused for it," then it's an obvious result and who cares? |
I do not think that quote is real; if not you have proven yourself a blatant lier again.
| If he reports otherwise, then he'll discredit himself if he references this thread, or he'll discredit himself by hiding his data, and either way, who cares? |
Not you, you only care about being a troll.
| You ever going to answer my questions, marty? |
Which ones?
As all can see Dave is a moderating troll!
As was told to bngbuck; your questions suck!

Well, it's clear to me at least that Marty is a lost cause. Whatever bug has crawled up his ass isn't decamping anytime soon, and his discomposure has rendered him incomprehensible.

Dave W.
He encourages others through his actions to attack and discredit most new posters that present anything deemed possibly outside of the accepted view.
In the troll thread; for example, I presented a view from the outside as to what others perceive as the conduct of this forum for the purpose of relying useful information to help this forum cultivate thought, and not turn off any lurkers. I was attacked and discredited immediately by Dave W..
As far as I can see he is using this forum as his personal troll playground.
