  • It's actually quite entertaining and sad at the same time

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

I think we all use the word 'quite' way too much on this forum. For years, since the transformation from uber douche dickface to mild mannered yet still stubborn and annoying, Seek uses it in everypost.

With Rent, now, showing us his writing, i also notice it littered all over the place. I dont know what about that word irks me, but it just reeks of pompous arrogance. I think people use it to sounds more polished, when, for me, it does the opposite.

Lets make a pact, no more.

Quite right. Really, I couldn't quite put it any better myself. Really, quite is ultimately quite the troublesome word, adding a quite irksome arrogance to any and all sentences.

I try to eliminate all unnecessary words from my sentences. It's a good habit to have.

Some more info there, it's quite funny. I love where he says lunatic raving things like the judge doesn't have the authority to judge him. Hopefully they soon just disbar him for 10 years and shut him the hell up.

It is pretty sad, isn't it? He's so far past jumping the shark now you almost want to get the guy some serious help. Even the people who agree with his basic concepts are shying away from him

Quoting from some Farker:

Florida State Court Judges sign loyalty oaths, i.e. loyalty to the state and its laws, upon taking office. These are actually only one-half of oaths (I forget the other, duty?) They are normal, and entirely constitutional, etc.

Tunis apparently didn't sign hers because she was never given it: a court clerk mistakenly failed to deliver hers and other judges' oaths, then forged their signatures at some later date. It's a non-issue (since the Court is free to accept Tunis' later novation to the oaths).

Thompson is just flailing, like a fish flopping on the deck of a boat, drowning in the air.

My favorite part: by storming out after the Florida bar requested a 10-year disbarment, Jack waived any right he had to object. As such, there is essentially zero reason why the request won't be granted.

Moreover, any attempt after those ten years to be licensed again will be impossible: he'll never survive the Character and Fitness requirements, because he will never admit wrongdoing in this case (or any other).

That's the best news I've heard all day. Delicious. That just further proves how loony he is.
