Yeah, I know your playing the victim can be sleep-inducing... cyberswede Aug 2014 #170

I'm not sure what your point is. Atman Aug 2014 #174

You are right about one thin. boston bean Aug 2014 #178

You asked to have instances where you played the victim pointed out. cyberswede Aug 2014 #179

So who is whining? Atman Aug 2014 #181

Nope, sorry BB. You know nothing about me. Atman Aug 2014 #165

I even stated in the thread at the time the reason. boston bean Aug 2014 #168

Nice. No context, not even the sub line to which I referred. Atman Aug 2014 #169

There is a link and excerpts provided. Plenty of context for anyone who would like boston bean Aug 2014 #172

So, according to him, I blocked him for a post he had not made yet??? boston bean Aug 2014 #197

So wait a minute...I was still posting AFTER you blocked me? Atman Aug 2014 #204

No, you have not posted in HoF since Nov 2012, the day I blocked you. boston bean Aug 2014 #216

It was about a teenager who was taken to a strip club. Atman Aug 2014 #203

ah, no... I'm pretty tolerant. I blocked you for the reason stated at the time of your blocking. boston bean Aug 2014 #206

The "skank" post wasn't even posted in HoF - it was posted in GD months after you were blocked cyberswede Aug 2014 #219

You've shown NOTHING, cbyber. What it that post got me banished? Atman Aug 2014 #194

No, not made up my mind at all. Atman Aug 2014 #82

But can you just ask to be unbanned and not use that word again? Rex Aug 2014 #85

I asked. They told me to fuck off. Atman Aug 2014 #89

Good for them. n/t JTFrog Aug 2014 #129
