Re: Now with Bonus Flame and CBI criticism for topicality's sake

Last one, then it's off the board. Apologies, Dom.

"Hey, dude, you're the one who posted that playing CBI makes you a
better person than everyone else."

And you said playing CBI makes you a misogynist. Irony, what a 
concept in humor.

"Don't start a stupid format war and then bitch at other people for 
responding." 

You've been posting flame after flame against CBI ever since you 
started hitting this board. If you hate it so much, why do you play 
it? Oh yeah, you want the free stuff, and things to roll your eyes 
about. 

"As for no one ever criticizing NAQT questions, or CBI having 
eliminated the crap from their distribution....whatever you're 
smoking, I want some."


They're Cubano's and they're mighty good.  And my defense of CBI is 
not of -- read the posts, dude -- the questions, but the people. I 
did state, however, that they have attempted to improve question 
quality, and they have. Is it fixed? As Josh stated, heck no, but 
they are trying. As usual, you started with a lame joke about CBI, 
hypocrite, and then attacked me for stuff you apparently haven't 
even read. And who's bitching at you? They're replies, and if you 
start something like this, you take the lumps. Since you're 
obviously not getting the discussion, here it is again:

I like CBI. I like ACF, NAQT, and TRASH. I think elitist snobs such 
as yourself embarrass this game more than the people described in 
either my teammate Asia's or Tuna Girl's posts. If you don't like a 
format, don't play it, unless it's the only way your school will 
fund your organization. I haven't heard the same criticisms that ACF 
has gotten over the years about so-called dead white males in 
regards to NAQT. I'm sure there have been some, just as I'm sure 
there are people who think blasting a format and continuing to play 
it is not hypocritical. Please post the ones you have printed and 
taped to your microfridge. However, I'm sure there are people out 
there who do it. The people in charge of these formats work hard to 
try and eliminate such factors. Note that even in my original 
response to your joke, I said that criticisms of the format and 
questions were legitimate. If that isn't clear, then the problem 
isn't my posts, it's your own prejudices getting in the way of 
things. Feel free to continue this via my personal e-mail or qb-
flame. Otherwise, keep loving yourself, son. Dwell in your stack of 
thick books and continue to roll your eyes at the horrors these 
posts contain, just as you roll your eyes at easy questions. How 
dare someone defend CBI with some rationalization! Sean Phillips, 
take this thing over!
