Ms. <strong>ras<\/strong> gallops in to the rescue and unsurprisingly takes up for her brother. I decide to play Captain Obvious and point out that <strong>1093ras<\/strong> always jumps in to defend <strong>dtalbott<\/strong> (her brother) no matter how idiotic it may be, and vice-versa. Oh man, I hit a nerve (or is that a knee-jerk?). I guess you can call that my &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/halifaxtalk.com\/phpBB\/viewtopic.php?t=10420\" target=\"_blank\">oops moment<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, Big Brother comes in at 12:38 AM and says&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I&#8217;m done with this, Bruce. You are much more of a headache than you are worth. Feel free to post your opinions somewhere else.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>and bans my posting account from the message board (yet again).<\/p>\n<p>Hello? Darrin? Boing? You&#8217;ve just proved my point for me. Somebody disagrees with anything that is connected to Clan Talbott and one of you just flies in to &#8220;take care&#8221; of the situation. If you need some help in understanding my point, there are plenty of other people that will be glad to explain it to you.<\/p>\n<p>Being banned from posting on your message board isn&#8217;t a big loss to me. In fact, being banned (yet again) is quite hilarious as you prove how petty that you really are. Darrin, you&#8217;ve equated your message board with being &#8220;your house&#8221; and we are guests at &#8220;your house&#8221;. You just seem to enjoy slamming the door of &#8220;your house&#8221; in the faces of your guests. Sooner or later, you just might realize that people don&#8217;t like being a guest at &#8220;your house&#8221; when you act like a spoiled little brat.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to Friday night&#8217;s HalifaxTalk Christmas Dinner at Four Oaks. I&#8217;m going to have a great time there talking to all of my friends. Of course, I&#8217;m betting that Darrin won&#8217;t be there under the lame-ass excuse of &#8220;not wanting to know who the members really are&#8221; but I seriously hope he attends. It will be my pleasure to buy him a drink. (OddsMakers of Darrin actually showing up: 10%)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m banned. I&#8217;ve got a strong feeling that I&#8217;m going to sleep well even despite this devastating blow.
