Of course, your first posting in this thread is equally annoying. Can you say "countersuit"?

[b]Can someone say "victim complex"? [/b]

[i]"The possessor of a victim complex needs some outside authority to blame for their own failures. They can never compensate for their personal challenges in order to do the basic competition necessary to be even minimally successful at life. Those with the most institutional of complexes have created not only an outside persecutor but feel an innate and deep endowment for entitlement, even priviledge. In many cases those with a victim complex have foisted their delusions of persecution onto others and convinced the supposed persecutor into another complex: liberal guilt."[/i]

by jaqui Jan 11, 2006

I doubt that Oz is going to ever feel guilt for slamming ITL.
somehow, I just can't see Oz felling guilty over slamming anyone that truly deserves to be squashed like a bug.

Quit picking on me like everyone else does.

But if I do I'm very, very sorry.

Whoa, victim complex augmented by liberal guilt. My wife has done her job well!

not even for slamming someone that only kind of deserves it!~

Funny how the definition fit so closely though, huh? B-)

by jaqui Jan 11, 2006

if they wrote it while interviewing him... ]:)

I don't have a clue if he deserves it, other than his first post practically invites it. It's like responding to a "Testing - Please Ignore" post, or free pizza.

Mae, please make the popcorn without salt; I'm trying to cut down. Thanks.

Tasteless cardboard for you. Lots of butter and salt for me..

When most of the people around .... dont even know who you are??

]:)

I suspect it's an alias account used by TR staffers (Trivia Geek? sMoRTy71?) when they want to go trolling.

at least the ones that have been here over a year.

He and OZ had a falling out, and when he got his feelings hurt by OZ he cried foul and wanted TR to shut OZ up.

He didn't realize that for the most part, TR doesn't go around "shutting people up". That whole "free speech" thing.

He then started this post, to take his ball and go home.

This then turned into the running joke of this post,
http://tinyurl.com/d9eon

From that time on, when people get all worked up, they are often asked if they are going "Lobo" on us!

Much like when they talk about a mailman going postal. (oh my, culture gap. do you know about "going postal"? Some mailmen snapped, and went on shooting sprees at work killing many.)

He came back later on in a discussion about wiring for phones and him and Oz got back into it again. Dawg got in on it this time.

Many didn't have a dog in that fight one way or the other, but few cared for the way he handled himself once things got heated up.

Need to:
One, not take every comment as a personal insult
Two, not take every personal insult personal.
Three, don't expect TR or anyone else to fight your fight for you. If you don't like the fight, walk away from it. If you can't reason with someone, walk away from it.

It IS just a silly post on a tech web site afterall.

She must be too busy for those of us over age 8. Sheesh, the newest must be able to sit up by now. You'd think she'd have all sorts of free time on her handcuffed hands.

Lobo turned himself into the local joke .. :D ??

Wow .. why wasnt I around at that time ...??

I cant believe the guy came back and the first thing he did was to refer to the old joke again ... He must like being attacked .... Lets see ... where's my Battle Tank now ?? ;)

by charliespencer Jan 13, 2006

Is like competing in the Special Olympics. You may win, but you're still handicapped, and look who you're competing against.

(No, it's not politically correct, but it does sum up the situation.)

I believe most here will be patient enough to wait until you post another Loboism before slamming you again. I mean how long can it be?

Slamming the guy ... Woo Hoo Hoo ...

But we're waiting!!

Victims complex. While it was funny, I wasn't being funny. :O

Some people are just born victims. He seems to be one of those people.

Maybe he has changed. I would give him the benifit of the doubt.

Okk ..

Hi Lobo,

Dont mind me ... I was just kidding ... I have had my share of being attacked too .. and still get it sometimes .. One thing to keep in mind is that Dont take anything anyone says as a personal insult .. Everyone has a right to express their opinion but insulting people and asking people to fight your fight for you will nt be tolerated on TR .... Welcome Back ...

by puppybreath Jan 12, 2006

as of the last meeting, we hadn't decided which image to use. You're not going rogue on us, are you?

I wasn't around for all the stuff that went on with Lobo. In reading through everyone's comments here, I'm having a hard time separating the grain from the chaff. I'm reading a lot of subjective comments against Lobo and one subjective comment (Lobo's) for him. Lobo's post sounds like one particular individual unnecessarily singled him out for verbal attacks more often than necessary when he posted a message. Every one else's comments sound like he didn't handle the situation in a popular manner. Is this oversimplifying things?

An edited version ... :x

We know him ..... at least the ones that have been here over a year.

He and OZ had a falling out, and when he got his feelings hurt by OZ he cried foul and wanted TR to shut OZ up.

He didn't realize that for the most part, TR doesn't go around "shutting people up". That whole "free speech" thing.

Many didn't have a dog in that fight one way or the other, but few cared for the way he handled himself once things got heated up.

from reading through all of these, it seems to me like it got to the point where Lobo couldn't even post anything without his antagonist pouncing on him. This is what I'd like a clarification on. Free speech goes only so far. Coincidentally, I made a similar comment in another unrelated discussion.

from you! :D

"Unnecessarily singled out". I don't remember which post it was that got everything started, but it went very similar to YOUR first encounter with OZ. Lobo just didn't take it as well. Oz was on another one of his anti-american but not anti-american rants of his and both I and Lobo called him on it. I even thought he had some good points, but then he just fell apart and wanted someone to silence OZ.

Most didn't join in on this. It was all his and Oz's show. It wasn't until his "I am leaving" temper tantrum that he "fell from grace" in the eyes of his peers.

See my "we know him" post for links and history.

That I have never really interacted with Oz ...

I am kidding .. Is Oz really all that scary?? or was it an exception in Mark and Lobo's case?? ;)

]:)

The wierd thing was that Oz jumped all over me for some very tongue-in-cheek comments I made. Maybe he wasn't used to my brash off-the-wall sardonic give-em-hell sarcastic attempt at humor. I was thinking, "Who IS this uptight burr-up-his-butt guy?". A few months later he brought it all up over again totally out of the blue. We tangled really good that time. I hate wasting my time on petty silliness like that. The wise and mature thing to do would be to make a simple matter-of-fact reply like you would in a business environment and ignore the whole thing. But if the other person follows you around and harps on you whenever you post anything, that would really suck.

I've never made ANY sort of imflammatory comments on this board, nor at any other time in my life. You see, I'm a healer. I'm all about making people feel good about themselves. Everyone should be a lot more like me.

If Lobo wasn't such a buttjob when he was here before, this conversation wouldn't even be taking place. It's sensitivity like that which keeps me above the fray in these discussions.

I am available for lessons. :D

I dont' like the idea of a woman with a knife in their hands! :O

Why aren't all guys like that ... Work .. Take care of the kids .. COOK ... Bliss ... :D

]:)

to your first meeting with oz, and then imagine it wasn't over a misunderstanding so it only gets worse from there.

Don't like someones replies to yours? Don't read them.

about not reading your antagonist's replies. That's how Oz and I ended it last time. I made a final reply to him and stated that I was finished with it all and that I was not going to read anything else he posted on that issue. Of course he replied anyway. It's hard to NOT read someone's reply but I stuck to my promise to myself to not read it. Hmmm... I wonder if he apologized to me in that last post that I never read?

no, he didn't and you KNOW he didn't. B-)

by Member 25348569 Jan 12, 2006

and I must admit that if he'd said [b]any[/b] of that to me, I would have been posting off the chocolate-covered handgrenade pdq. And I thought that you Texans were supposed to be hard.

Part of his first diatribe against me had something to do with hockey. You'd buy him a beer. I'd crack the beer bottle over his head! haha (j/k... I have nothing against him.)

was it was all a misunderstanding! :D

It's a shame. In the real world I feel like an absolute ass when I realize that that I wrongly or unjustifiably attacked someone. And I'll dig deep within my empty soul to force myself to apologize. I'm glad I do because it always maks me feel better. Usually in the middle of an argument, people have gotten way off the original disagreement and it becomes personal. Any schmuck can swing a fist. It takes courage and maturity to apologize.

Don't tell anyone but that's just the image we portray to outsiders. ;) As soon as I press my Submit button, I'm going to deny I ever said that. haha

except when someone apologises when they feel that they've offended you somehow. Then you've like an uncaged tiger.

I've seen an occasion where a ten-ton truck was stuck in the mud and nothing could move it.

One of my neighbours walked up to truck, put his shoulder under the back axle and with one mighty heave - broken his collarbone in two places.

I never said that they were smart, though.

:D

DL05, you said that like a true Texan. I'm convinced you're not an impostor. I'm a native myself. And yup, I'm a stone's throw east of you over here in the Big D.

Don't pay any attention to jd. He wears his jealousy on his sleeve. I'm assuming that his pent-up paranoia toward our nation must have a root cause. Perhaps he applied for residency at one time during his long life and his application was promptly deposited in the round filing cabinet with a resounding thud. Or maybe he was met with attack longhorns at the border and got chased back to his neck of the woods.

The fella leaned against this truck and promptly snapped his collar bone? That's not tough. That's brittle. :^O

But you're right. It wasn't smart. In Texas, we'd have pulled the truck out of the mud with one of our 4-wheel drive pickup trucks.

Can't fill out their profiles so they can find each other. They just have to hope they bump into one another by accident. It's a wonder they reproduce.

Have you noticed that it is not only Texans that do not completely fill out their profile? That's you Carolinians... never lernt to read. haha And why do we need to find each other? Do you feel insecure if you're not in the company of other Carolinians? :D

We had the local phone company run conduct to an out building for phones years ago. It was just short of a quarter of a mile (that is pretty far, to translate for you METRIC people! :D ).

Well, this big dumb brute (must have been a Texan!) grabs hold of the pull line and yanks, shattering his hand in four places! (oh my!) That was something to see, let me tell you! :^O

Then ended up fastening the line onto a fork lift (a big thingy with what looks like forks on the front, for lifting other things...) to pull it through.

Way too funny!

by maecuff Jan 14, 2006

I just can't stand it when people feel the need to apologize all the time. MOST of the time I hear people saying they're sorry, they are either saying it out of habit or they really mean the exact opposite and just don't have the balls to come out and say what they really want to say. (Not that I am suggesting that either of you exhibit that type of behavior, I was merely hanging sh*t on your in other posts).

Anyway, a sincere apology is always welcome if the situation calls for an apology, otherwise, STFU. :)

by m_a_r_k Jan 14, 2006

I'm sorry if I've ever needlessly apologized to you.

I bet you just KNEW some wise ass was going to respond with a post like this. :^O

by jdclyde Jan 15, 2006

How many Texas football teams are still in the playoff?

I'm sure dozens of people have apologized to Mae for one reason or another over the years. Let everyone apologize individually. Mae will be buried with a ton of apologies. Hell, she practically asked for that kind of abuse when she said can't stand it when people apologize needlessly. :^O

P.S. I think I used the word "apologize" in every sentence. This is SURE to drive Mae up a wall. I'm sorry, Mae. (I'm not apologizing...I just said I'm sorry). :D

Anyway, what's this metric crap? I can do both but generally work in Imperial (which we invented) 'cos it's more sensible.

Metres are too big, millimetres too small. A gram is useless when measuring anything sensible to eat. You can make a sandwich with an ounce of ham, fill a hollow tooth with a gram! Litres are OK, though, for drinks but as our pint is bigger than your puny pint anyway...

So, you can use yards, pounds, kiloanything and I'll understand. Gallons you'll have to specify whose.

Neil :p

What in the world does the success of a pro sports franchise have to do with the state or the people in which the team is located? How many Carolina Panther players or coaches grew up in Carolina? Two or three? How many Dallas Cowboys or Houston Texans grew up in Texas? Three or four per team?

Let's take a look at something closer to home and more meaningful. Like college sports teams. The large majority of athletes on Texas college sports team are from Texas. Need I remind you of a little event that occurred 12 days ago? [b]University of Texas 41, University of Southern California 38. Univ of Texas, College Football National Champions[/b]. That is four football championships for this one Texas school. How many kids from the Carolinas have ever been on a national champion of any kind?

Carolina college sports championships??

Ever hear of Duke or UNC? From what I've heard, they have had some fairly decent hoop teams. And this from a Georgia Tech fan.

Of course, Palmetto is from the "other" Carolina, so maybe he doesn't care.

And I sure as hell ain't gonna say "Go C0cks!" like those South Carolina fans do. They make the Fightin' Gobblers from VA Tech seem downright sophisticated.

by jaqui Jan 16, 2006

I flog a$$es. ]:)

by charliespencer Jan 16, 2006

D, I agree. I can't think of a more ridiculous mascot than a chicken, not even UC-Santa Barbara's Banana Slugs.

M, I'd like to thank the Texas for raising and training all those atheletes. Tell me, why do they all move out of Texas for their professional careers?

In all honesty, my original "Texans" post was intended only as a suggestion for those who don't fill out their profiles. I have a sister in Houston, cousins in Galveston and the Big D, and maternal ties to El Paso. I enjoy visiting Texas every couple of years; I just don't look good in a cowboy hat and boots.

Hmm, I forgot about basketball. I guess I was thinking only of southern Carolina. The NC basketball domination is pretty amazing. I admit that Texas basketball has been pretty dreadful for a long time. I don't know why. We probably put most of our dollars into football. How in the heck does one rather small state produce so many basketball players? Are they all/most from from North Carolina?

Palm, the reason that so many college athletes leave Texas to play in the pros is because of something called the draft. They have no choice. It's also about money. They'd rather make $18 million somewhere else than have to live on skid row by making only $17 million in Texas. And finally, there aren't enough pro teams in any sport to support all of our great home-grown athletes. The thing that ticks me off is why so many of the high school athletes leave Texas to play college sports. Half of Oklahoma's team is from Texas.

By the way Palm, does the Univ of South Carolina have an inferiority complex about being known as the "other" USC? ;) Gamecocks...yep...strange name. It invokes fear in many an opponent.

your my hero! :D

by charliespencer Jan 16, 2006

South Carolina went as far as printing up hats and T-shirts a couple of years ago that said "The REAL USC". Maybe it made them feel good, but everyone outside the state knows USC means Southern Cal.

Then there's the question of the word "Carolina" when used with no geographic modifier. The locals will try to convince you otherwise, but everyone else in the southeast knows "Carolina" means the blue-and-white UNC Tarheels, not the garnet-and-black USC Gamecocks.

South Carolina does have outstanding programs in both soccer and baseball, regularly advancing well into the playoffs.

Does having fear of saying gamecocks make someone a homophobe? :O Oh my.....

Basketball and texas. It is much easier to get dumb brutes to play football than basketball. Simple! :D

Now MICHIGAN can produce BOTH football AND basketball teams. How about them apples? B-)

Oh yeah, I didn't for get you Niel. Metric. Was just trying to include members from less civilized nations that us that dang kilo stuff.... :\ Part of my new "kinder, gentler" method of insulting people!

You scared Lobo away AGAIN! He made two posts and then never was heard from again.

And it wasn't even OZ and Dawg to jump on him this time!

Sure, he STARTED this in an advisarial tone to begin with and got the reaction he intended to recieve to fit his victim complex and then went away.

Will the next post be "Ok, I am leaving TR (Thanks everyone besides OZ)"? :O

2006 Rose Bowl: Texas 41, Southern California 38
2005 Rose Bowl: Texas 38, Michigan 37
2004 Rose Bowl: Southern California 28, Michigan 14

Do you see a logical connection there? :D LOL I'm mostly teasing. U of Michigan does usually have good football teams. I remember the good ole days when the Big 10 was called the "Big 2 and the Little 8".
