Do you want me to re-post that GIF of you and JZ, where you're wearing
only t-shirts?  :)

As for Gillian, what can I say?  All I can do is take your word for the
fact that you might've had a thing with her.  I keep thinking back,
though, to her reaction at seeing the GIF.  First she looked at JZ and
said "What IS that thing wrapped around his waist?".  Then, she looked
at you and said "My God, is that a clitoris?  This person has a beard
but he/she seems to have a clitoris also!".  Then she looked at it
again using a magnifying glass and chuckled condescendingly.  So maybe she
felt sorry for you...

You keep throwing stones at me for being "the great political cripple of
all ages" and a (gasp) Liberal, yet you look like someone who just left
Woodstock.  Could it be that you too are a Liberal?

Good, I've outted you then!

Christ, you remind me more of Kevin Darcy every day; the "truth" and what
was said just keeps shifting around, to agree with whatever you're
currently trying to say.  Looking back on previous entries in this exchange,
you might (if your reading comprehension has improved recently) discover that
I disn't say anything as goofy as "Gosh Andy, you don't gag.".  I actually
said something like "Banta can do the most amazing things, without gagging!".

--------------------------------------------------

Andy,

No offense but you're clearly unable to compose your own thoughts or
express them with the least bit of originality.  Perhaps you fancy
yourself a formidable opponent in a flamewar but I've seen Kindergarteners
express themselves better than you can, when you're at your best

On top of that, you're not above manipulating the truth regarding previous
posts, one strong reason why I compared you to Mister Darcy.  Every time
that I start reading one of your posts, I find myself wondering which
net.personna you'll decide to imitate next.  Will Banta decide to be
Davey Rasmussen and start raving about the rights of fetuses?  Will he
StartCombiningHisWordsAndComplainingAboutTheProblemOlderWoman?

Of course, it is true that (like Rich Little) you are only able to mimic
other peoples' posting styles, without having a distinctive voice of
your own but you are still fun to have around.  I hope you continue
posting to alt.peeves for a long time.

Cheers,

   don
