Oh, I'm sorry for bringing up a well known piece of Roman history that occurred within a short time-span after the assassination of Caesar.Quote:

So it doesn't matter that what you said was in fact WRONG. It just matters that you can dismiss something because hating Christianity is in vogue.
Yes, I would say that you have Hates pegged perfectly there. :roll:Quote:

All hail Magister Gibbon the Infallible!Quote:
The concept of Pax Romana was first presented by Edward Gibbon in The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Chapter II. The Pax Romana is called "Roman Peace". Gibbon proposed a period of moderation under Augustus and his successors and argued that generals bent on expansion (e.g. Germanicus, Agricola and Corbulo) were checked and recalled by the Emperors during their victories favouring consolidation ahead of further expansion. Gibbon lists the Roman conquest of Britain under Claudius and the conquests of Trajan as exceptions to this policy of moderation and places the end of the period at the death of Marcus Aurelius in 180 AD, despite the conclusion of peace by the latter's son Commodus later in the same year. During the Pax Romana, the area of Roman rule expanded to about five million square kilometres (two million square miles).
I'll just leave it at this. I don't agree with Gibbon's definition of 'Peace'.
Just like we're living in Pax Americana right now.
Maybe you need to look up the word relative in regards 'relative peace'Quote:

But yeah, I mentioned the bible, so none of that is irrelevant. *spit/hiss/hate Christianity*
Nevermind that I wasn't actually talking about the bible as much as I was talking about the politics at the time. As far as I am aware, the numismatics of the Temple Moneychangers and the Burning of the Temple after the Jewish revolt are not actually mentioned anywhere IN the bible.
Scroll up, dumbass. He said literally nothing about the Bible.Quote:

Yes "Are you unaware of biblical history like at all" is not the same as bringing up the bible and treating like actual history. :roll:Quote:

Lets do this the old-school way. Please show me a cite of where I actually quoted the bible in this thread.Quote:

Lets catalogue the strawmen:
1) The bible is not a historical source so you can't quote it as one. (I never did)
2) I never said he mentioned the bible.
Just sayin'. It's pretty funny to watch y'all flay in anger because I brought up the bible and referenced a fairly mainstream bit of history regarding the persecution of the Jews in 1st century Judea. But because I said 'biblical history' rather than 'History of 1st Century Judea.', y'all froth.
And none of you has even addressed the actual points I made. Funny that right?
Lets not, you started the insults against Hates, don't try to twist this with bullshit. But for the record, don't really care about the Bible part, just the false accusations against Hates.Quote:

I'm done with Exy's troll clique. Have at it.
Thank Christ. Now back to the thread.
Oh shit Exy, shouldn't have gloated. You know I can go for days baiting dipshit trolls like you right?
I am a bad poster? My first experience with you was in an argument where you asked me to cite statistics, I did and then you for some reason stopped posting in that thread at all. Bad poster indeed.
Since you gleefully think this is YOUR forum. I guess bowing to you is a mistake. Because people like you need to be taught a lesson, and I am the right kind of douchebag to get in there and tear up your frail little insecure innards.
Notice how in the accusations of strawmen and such, I was accused of saying things I didn't say. The definition of a strawman, funny how you accused me of strawmen and used strawmen in the post itself. And as of yet NO ONE, not a single one of you has found anything wrong with what I actually said. What upset people was that I didn't buy into the notion of "Pax Romana", initially, and that I used the word, "Bible".
So back to the thread. Did Octavius actually setup a system that lead to a period of peace? How does one define peace? Do the excesses of Caligula and Nero not count as a disruption of peace? Do the conquests of Trajan not count as imperial expansion? How exactly is peace defined?
If so are people arguing that the Empire was ethically superior to the Republic?
Who?Quote:

Yeah, I like Indistinguishable a lot. I think he posted here at first but then got bored and left.
You're one of those nebbishly little douchebags that thinks that 'talking' and 'bragging' are the same thing. I was a member of the SDMB for 10 years, I mentioned it and so I was bragging. Funny that.Quote:

To be honest, I am a bit surprised at how much thought you've given me. A little flattered even.
And yes, I know that if it were up to you, you could lord over whomever you want. Of course, you could make a message board. I have one took me about twenty minutes to set it up. You could go play little tyrant over there. I don't tyrannize my users, the only moderation I've ever done was move a thread to a more appropriate forum, like someone started a music thread in general chatter and I moved it to the arts forum, I felt bad for being such a control freak, but you know, standards must be maintained.
So what's stopping you from starting your own forum? Intimidating people and pissing in the corners of this one is enough for you, and you're afraid that if you started your own no one would come?
I'm glad that this got moved, because here I can toy with your small capacity with impunity. I'm REALLY good at sussing out people's insecurities, and I love fucking with people who beg for it. Now that's bragging you little masochist bitch.
Don't worry dude, Alpha's work too hard, it's ok to be a beta.
Yep, exactly like I called it.Quote:

Look, again, I'm sorry you don't have anywhere to replace the SDMB, I'm sorry you can't formulate a grown-up style argument, I'm sorry you have to fall back on bullshit strawman claims that you're being persecuted even when it involves making things up entirely. If you think this place is like the SDMB for people who are too pathetic for the SDMB, you're wrong, and you might want to find some other place with lower standards to hang out at.
Too bad your other cool SDMB friends rejected you, huh?Quote:

Note to Exy. You are very much more interested, and are actually trying to prove your Alpha status here. I'm making fun of your attempts to be the pimp keeping your hoes in line.Quote:

I don't need to be Alpha 'round these parts, I'm looking for the Chilluminati around here. The sort of awesome cat who can love a guy who pulls out Brave New World and Spaceballs in the same thread. ;)
But here I'll give you some tips on being Alpha. It's not about attacking YOU, but attacking your sycophants. See, it's about making fun of whoever is swallowing the third inch feel ashamed for what they've been eating.
Lets break it down. See, you were straight up telling me where I could and could not post. I let you win, and then you gloated, "See, I back him off, ph34r me!!! Rawrr!!!", now that's the action of someone who ACTUALLY cares about their alpha status on an internet message board.
Lets just keep going deeper and deeper into psychoanalyzing your idiocracy. Do you want Freudian, Jungian or Lacanian?
As Lacan would say about your bitches and hoes, that it's actually worse to rape someone who has a rape fantasy than it is to rape someone who doesn't, because the rape fantasy is a distorted perception of their true fear. So when you're cuddling your hoes and letting them drink from your pimp cup you think that you've tended your bitches, and a tended bitch is a happy bitch, but you've actually committed a deep soul rape on a level that a healthy psyche would never get to. It is only possible for an unhealthy psyche with damaged boundaries to get to that level. Is that how you manage your clique?
Zuul is right about you. You're like a terrier shaking a rat.
You know, Exy, I kind of wish you had genuinely been trolling him. Because the kind of crazy in that last post is priceless.
....You are completely divorced from normal social interaction, aren't you?Quote:

And the fact that all that pathetic sexist bullshit you're clearly obsessed with is so completely at odds with the culture here, and so far removed from anything Exy thinks or cares about, makes you look like even more of an embarrassment than you already are.Quote:

I don't understand what possibly ever planted the notion in your mind that I give a shit whether or not you take me seriously. I was having a bit of fun seeing what sort of ridiculous shit I could juxtapose. I'm a bit proud of juxtaposing Lacan and Spaceballs in the same post myself. YMMV of course.

Constantly whining that you're being persecuted by PC leftist "intellectuals" is not going to fool anyone here because, well, again, this place is a better class of people than you're used to being around. We're not dumb enough for that tactic to work.
Your performances here have illustrated how limited your social skills are, and that's fine, but you gotta understand. This place ain't the SDMB. If you want a place that operates under the principle of affirmative action for socially inept dimwits, go back to the SDMB and beg for your account back. They've reinstated people before. You ain't gonna get the same supportive atmosphere here.
If you wanna hang out here, and maybe make some friends, try to fit in a little more. Because in case you haven't noticed it, you're not so far. Even Inner Stickler and Jali are laughing in your face (so to speak), and they're about the nicest people that exist.
If (as your feigned pride at your chilly reception here suggests) you can't manage to find a place to hang out where people actually like you and appreciate your company in anything beyond a PALATR sense, well, I feel sorry for you.

You're the one who thinks that being gay is a big deal here. I just thought it was funny to tell a gay man he was a terrible straight man. Nothing in that is insulting to your sexuality in any way. You're just trying really really hard to be offended. It reminds me of the Straight Dope a lot.Quote:

I never complained about being persecuted, because your behavior has had zero impact on my freedom of movement. When the REAL Alpha around here Zuul gets upset then the power to persecute me might reveal itself. So far I don't get the impression that she gives a shit about any of this.

The sad part about how you keep talking about "cliques" is it just points out yet another example of you completely failing to pick up on what's going on in a social situation. The fact is, this place is one big clique. (Well, not all that big.) It's a group of people who stuck around despite the size of the community because we almost all like each other. A major portion of the people here are here because they're friends in real life with other members, and aside from that, the reason folks stuck around is because we're all pals.
I understand that you can't tell that given your social skills, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
You know, I get that you're trying hard to imagine that the number of people who are mocking you in this thread, and in chat (and, for that matter, who were mocking you in chat when you first threatened to sign up here during your final SDMB meltdown) are not representative, but face it -- there's a reason no one's sticking up for you here, and that's because you're embarrassing the hell out of yourself. Over and over. You clearly don't understand why, but it doesn't change what's happening.
Again, if the way you've embarrassed yourself here, again and again, and the way folks have made clear that no one is impressed by you despite your obvious, frantic efforts doesn't make you want to either try to get along, or find a place where people will like you, I'm sorry. It just means that you've figured out that those things are futile and you've settled for being around people who don't like you.
You keep trying this trick of rewriting history, but that doesn't work in a written medium, dude. I'm not offended. Myrna's not offended. It's just eye-rollingly pathetic that you thought "lol, gay!" is a funny joke. No matter how much you whine about people calling you a bigot, no one has done that. I get that you don't really have a lot of, well, tools in your social toolbox, but you really oughta stop trying to use that one.Quote:

Ok let me break it down for you:
No one was offended by your joke. No one called you a bigot. It was just so completely unfunny and trite and cliched and so, so out of touch with this board's culture that it begged comment.
The irony here is that you flipped the fuck out on hates, implied he and Jim are anti-Christian bigots, outright SAID that "everyone is attacking the Bible!!" when no one had and otherwise showed your complete inability to follow a conversation in the fight that kicked this thread off. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you are now ranting about being accused of being a homophobe despite the fact that no one has accused you of it.

Oh this isn't about that thread. I've moved on to the abject silly that you guys are pimping.Quote:

I'm wondering do you all have rings where if you fist bump you turn into a giant robot and fight Monsters?
Oh Exy, the first time you got a bug up your ass, a few people in this 'big clique' told me not to pay you any mind cuz you're just kind of an asshole. ;)
Even assuming this is true (which it could be) WAY more than a few have told you to your face how much you're embarrassing yourself, right here in this very thread.Quote:

♪Cause there's an inverse relationship between respect and sects. I'm talking bout religious sects like a mormon sect that says you can't have sex with members of different sects, but you can't have sex with members of the same sex. so if the sects can't be different, the sex can't be same, then the only sex left is some left hand shame.♫

But I'm not embarassed. So they are all lying. ;)Quote:

What song is that from? That's pretty clever.Quote:

Bo Burnham's "I'm Bo, Yo" It's, ah, pretty racy. All his stuff is pretty racy though.
♪Now I don't know if all boy scouts are gays but they could probably "tie the knot" in like fifty different ways... I got a safe full o' cherries, cause I pop it and lock it, a girl's like a fridge, once a week you should stock (stalk) it.♫
Yeah, the macros, lolcat grammar and spelling, and song lyrics in our posts prove how deadly serious this is for us.Quote:

Fair enough.Quote:

But to be congenial, I will take this opportunity to apologize for going off on hatesfreedom in the original thread.
Well, in that case, ♪Kumbayah, my lord, kumbayah!♫
Take it away, exy!
Heh, I'm gonna let Exy have his forum to lord over and fuck off. He says this forum is a clique and I'm not welcome. If anyone wants to talk to me I'll be over at the Giraffe Boards. I'm over my flu. I generally come to forums for a raucous philosophical debate, and the Crucible isn't a very hopping board here, so there really isn't much for me.
Enjoy your forum all.
Peace.
Onoes. Tinker has been chased away. :(
