Rumour has it that the site was pulled because Gary North had retained counsel who was prepared to sue the owners of the site for "defamation of character."

Is this true?

That statement "Gary North is a big fat idiot" is rather slanderous. Now had it been called, "I think Gary North is a big fat idiot"...well, you get my drift. Technicalities technicalities.

-- cin (cinloo@aol.corn), April 13, 2000.

Well, it would be a little late for Gary ot get a lawyer and threaten to sue. I don't know if calling someone big and/or fat is actionable but he pretty much proved he's an idiot.

In a related event, Rush Limbaugh has retained lawyer Jackie Chiles, late of the "Seinfeld" show, to handle his suit against Al Franken, author of the book "Rush Limbaugh Is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations".

Said Chiles, "If we can prove slim, we's gonna get him!"

in a related case, ASS(Association of Shipping Stuff)has filed suit to stop the ongoing abuse of a fellow mate. For details(not for the squeamish)....the Link.

"What's the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the "Gary North is a Big Fat Idiot Forum?"

Maybe the owner of the website finally grew up?

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), April 13, 2000.

Hawk,

He dropped the site because it had outlived its purpose.

Everyone is convinced that North is an idiot.

Actually, Hawk, he's not an idiot. He's a clever subversive who will try anything to turn the U.S. into a Christian theocracy.

Check out his father-in-law's site (link from North's site), if you want a good laugh - or scare.

-- (retard@but.happy), April 13, 2000.

Whats wrong with a Christian Theocracy? Most on this thread seem to be disenchanted with U.S. "consumer" democracy. Perhaps Christan Theocracy would be a positive change.

-- Pedro (soypreparado@elfindelmundo.com), April 13, 2000.

"What's wrong with a Christian Theocracy?"

Well, one thing wrong is that Christian Theology says all adulterers will be stoned to death (bye bye, Bill).

About half of married Americans (m and f) say they have commited adultery. That's 150 million people.

Assume it takes 100 egg-sized stones to kill a person. That's fifteen billion stones.

There are not fifteen billion suitable stones in the U.S.

So that's one thing wrong.

-- (retard@but.happy), April 13, 2000.

Good grief! Half of all married Americans have commited adultery? That is nauseating.

-- cin (cinloo@aol.corn), April 13, 2000.

retard, you are retarded.

Provide proof.

-- (I hate @ss.holes), April 13, 2000.

Hate: You're right. I am legally retarded - and my math stinks.

It's not 150,000,000 people. It's closer to 75,000,000. And it's 7,500,000,000 stones, not 15,000,000,000. Sorry about the error.

Hate, it's not healthy to hate. It raises your blood pressure and your cholesterol level.

Try loving people - even assholes like me. Much healthier.

I love you very much.

It's my understanding that the Idiot Debunker had been considering closing BFI for a while now. There's really no need for it anymore. It's unclear whether he had to pay for the site or not, but when the time comes to fold up a site, the time comes.

Regarding the stastics on adultery, it depends on the statistics one considers reliable. The Kinsey Report was the one that approached the 50-80% figure. That report has been under review of late, and it turns out that the Kinsey's were pretty darn kinky there in their methods. There's been a more recent study done by NORC [I think], and the statistics provided are more like 15%. Of course THAT report is ALSO considered unreliable, in that partners had to confess to adultery in the presence of their mate. [Oh, yeah!]

Any reasonable search engine can point you to the statistical study of your choice on this one.

-- Anita (Anita_S3@hotmail.com), April 13, 2000.

retard, your an idiot.

If your going to make a sweeping statement like you just did about infidelity, you need to provide proof. Otherwise, you're just proving how totally retarded you are.

I don't love you, or any other retard.

I bet you like your own. If not (and without surgical intervention) I'd bet your colon is the size of Texas, and pretty painful.

Maybe you should call yourself ((I hate MOST @ss.holes),

Hawk is a Big Fat Idiot...but he knows alot about plane crashes, especially the ones caused by y2k. He is about as useless as boots on a whore.

"Hawk is a Big Fat Idiot...but he knows alot about plane crashes, especially the ones caused by y2k."

LOL!! Here comes another ball-less troll hiding under a new name. Let's see, is is "Ra", "Sifting", or "Pro". Go to be one of them, since they are all responsible for all of the other "new faces" popping up around here. Always trying to mock my theory without a shred of evidence to actually disprove it, or even suggest any other alternative. No balls, no guts, and most obviously, no brains.

BTW,

"He is about as useless as boots on a whore."

I kinda like a cute cowgirl that likes to leave her boots on... very sexy! You should try it sometime... oh sorry, I forgot, you trolls are gay. :-)

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), April 13, 2000.

Ah, say, about this adultery thingdo gerbils count? Is my hand exempt?

-- Hark (I'm@high.again), April 13, 2000.

reminds me of that old Jackie Mason line --

"half of all married people commit adultery in the U.S. -- the other half do it in Europe"

-- Chicken Little (panic@forthebirds.net), April 13, 2000.

You also have to consider the definition of adultery.

Some societies and religions consider the very thought of it to be the act.

-- i think i can i think i can (huh@what.was.that?), April 13, 2000.

According to the new standards established last year by some of the self-righteous hypocrit conservatives, being on the receiving end of a generously offered hummer is considered adultery. Judging by what I've seen going on over the last 20 years or so, I don't think the 50% figure is too far off. It isn't always the men hitting on the women either. I know, I've been there. :-) Who am I to refuse?

And just what would you call that, Hawky? Getting a suck from a person who is not your spouse "Adulterates" your promise to be true to that spouse.

Oh that's right, you've said before that you consider yourself a "Liberal". And since you have also admitted that you have lied about being a detective and bounty hunter, I guess that one more lie (about remaining faithful to your spouse) is no big deal. Golly, being a "Liberal" must mean a "Liberal" interpretation of the truth.

Why, are you offering to give me a hummer?

Sorry dude, I likes da ladies. :-) Anything else would give me nightmares for the rest of my life.

Hey Hawk... don't you just love the attack Pollys?... just another form of censorship...

To bad they haven't grown up yet :-)

Hawk:

I am not a troll, I am a Polly.

Almost left reading this forum (well technically its predecessor the Swamp Pit) after you tried to bore it to death with your long winded Flight 261 posts...

Say, you know alot about jackscrews and hummers, if dad was a fly boy who taught you all about flying does that mean that mom was...oh well, you know us trolls.
