Obviously some sort of repressed desire to be either loved or villified with no ability to understand the reasons behind the yen.

I have no need to be a villian, nor could you make me one, nor do I seek approval or need it, I have the approval of my circle and myself. I offer an honest chance and nothing more. No Guilt or pain is involved, only the courage of your convictions is required, either way. I am seeing an almost hysterical lack of courage in a couple people. Vote or go away and chat about Dag's Meteor!

I find it funny that people are taking this so seriously. Who cares if he has an agenda? Who cares if he's trying to be a martyr or not? Once he's gone, everyone will stop thinking about him, except the occasional "Remember When. . ."

I say go.

I can't think of his name... He's the one that caused the riot where everyone started attacking the piggies and cutting down their trees.
He also had a rather b****y sister too who was just like him, only worse...
Gods, was she obnoxious.
I say he should go until he can learn to act like a human being.

This counts as an equivocation, I would not expect anything else from you Synth, I have long pictured you as bi-polar, lurching forward to set things straight and then falling back, emotionally spent! Try again!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Only it's not eleven, it's twelve. Remember he disqualified Kwea for saying

If you can't do that, or don't even want to try, then I vote leave.

Oh sweet, I can cast the deciding vote right now.

Hit the road, Jar, and don't ya come back no more no more no more no more, hit the road, Jar, and don't ya come back no more.

It is a pity that we lose Jar here at the height of his posting. This thread garnered more attention than any of his posts before. We may fondly look back and say, "Remember that Jar Head guy? Man, that whole 'vote me off the island thing' was lame, wasn't it?" And so young Jar Head wormed his way into the dubious lore of Hatrack. Way to go out in a blaze of Glory, Jar Head, we salute you.

Now piss off.

No. Should I feel disenfranchised?

I don't approve of knowingly exiling anyone from this community, regardless of whether or not it would be voluntary or not. I've been insulted numerous times by JarHead--I don't care. I think it's more important to be an inclusive community than a comfortable one. I'm amazed so many Hatrackers disagree with my belief, if the sample of this thread is any marker to go by.

For "stay", no less. He can't even be troubled to keep track of his own "supporters". Considering how few there are, that's just sad.

WP, I disapprove of the whole idea, but not just because of any exclusivity worry.

That's why I proudly served as Jimmy Carter's envoy to ensure the elections were fair.

So Jar Head, just for clarification, exactly how old are you? Two? Three?

Get the heck out of here.

(this is an unequivical vote to leave)

You will not learn, you will not have an open mind, you will not consider other peoples opinions. You are an idiot. Leave. Go fight your war that you love so much, go show your 'courage', go get your self killed and improve the gene pool. Maybe they'll give you a Darwin award if you're lucky. You have your 11 votes. Quit whining and splitting hairs and leave. You kept saying we wouldn't have the guts to do it, we did it. Leave. Now.

Edit: I see my vote wasn't needed [Big Grin] Yay, I would delete my nastiness... but I almost wish he'd stick around long enough just to see it... Oh well. My apologies to anyone else who read that and was offended. I normally try to be extremely accepting of people, but Jar Jar crossed the line of what I can stand... several times. So I figured I'd let it out and let him have it [Smile] Again my apologies to everyone else.

WP, Jar Head created a false dichotomy. He got what he wanted. I think most if not all of us would rather see him stay and stop being such a jerk. Not a choice. *shrug* Whatever.

Well, if BC is leaving, and JH is the same person as BC, then wouldn't he *have* to leave? I mean, this vote is nice and all, but if these two knuckleheads are the same person, the result would be a foregone conclusion, no?

Hey, do you guys remember that Jar Head guy? Wasn't he lame? Oh man, and that bit about the spanish drunkards that he and BC fought off together? *Priceless* I know I was impressed by it. And how he cleverly slipped in that he speaks Korean? What was that all about? I ask you.

No, you're a JAR head. Transparent, empty, and easily broken.

You can't get away with this behavior in real life, so you feel the need to spout this vitriol on the internet where noone can find you in your little dark corner of a computer desk.

Frankly, this thread means nothing. You can just come back under a new name, leading us on for hours or even days before we recognize the arrogant, insulting and down right idiodic style that belongs to none other than Jar Head.

edit: FC, you have any more of those Cedrios-addled conspiracy theory hat? I have cash. [Big Grin]
