You mean Issue #1? Yes. 
Duh. Heās like the awesomest internal medicine dude at County Hospital in Chicago. Now that Mark Green is dead someone has to be the bad-ass.
Most people donāt even seem to know what respect is anymore. I canāt count the number of times Iāve disagreed or flat-out disproven what someone has said and been rebuked with āthatās his opinion, and you should respect it/him/everyone!ā
Last I checked, you only got civility automatically. I was under the impression that respect was something you had to earn. Hence the reason respect is, you know, valued and all that.

Which is probably why he didnāt get the joke you four-armed green man![/quote]
Ha haā¦ glad you fellas get it. And Iām sorry for unleasing the Martians on our worldā¦ wasnāt that good of a movie in the end, unfortunately.
I donāt mind being referred to as John Carter. āCarterā will do in a pinch.
Voltaic, I sorta look like a shorter & more stocky version of Noah Wylie, so you got me there, too.
Yeah, John Carter, and I want world peace. Guess what? Aināt gonna happen. Now go sign the petition.

Whoās John Carter? Jimmy Carter you mean?

Sigh. What are they teaching you kids in school today?
John Carter was a character from one of Edgar Rice Burroughsā series. The John Carter series was about an Earth man who ended up on Mars and discovered a civilization there. He becomes a Warlord of Mars. Edgar Rice Burroughs was most famous for writing Tarzan.[/quote]
Ah learn something new every day. oh well :)

Careful, when Brian gets called on his misuse of words, he writes treatises to explain how he was really correct. It seems to be an idiotic necessity on his part.
Youād hardly know, since anything that takes longer than 10 seconds to read you ignore. Howās your ADD treatment working out? By the way, youāre right. Those first two doctors were a little fishy. Its not your fault the medicine had no effect. Hopefully the stronger stuff will work. The dosage can always be upped further, you know. In fact, Iād recomm

Good job sticking it to the Tom/Mark entity there.
Nahā¦ Asher and I have a history. Our views often are diametrically opposed (on game philosophy and posting values, as well as general taste). Our enemy status stretches back well before the Tom/Mark entity was first seen.
Markās place in the Tom/Mark entity does add fuel to the fire, however.

You sure have a lofty opinion of your effect on others, donāt you?

Also: Pacific Ocean at least a little damp.
Do we have a history? I donāt remember a Brian Koontz before seeing this incarnation on these boards. Did you post under a different name?
Brian Koontz is Mark Asherās Tyler Durden.
-TomSounds like youāve made a dangerous enemy,Mark.
Literally.
You make a point of posting āI like having a resident kook, even if his posts are too wordy for me to bother reading more than the first paragraphā in nearly EVERY anti-Brian thread. Iām assuming heās inferred that as anti-Koontzism - thatās the way Iād read you.
On the whole, there doesnāt seem to have been much actual dialogue between you and Brian, just unrelated observations (mostly negative on both sides).
I suppose to him that comes off as ābad bloodā and to you it comes off as āan average day at the forumsā. Iād be more inclined to agree with the latter, but I at least see where Koontz is coming from.
I signed itā¦
What do I win?

I thought Brian was referring to some pre-Qt3 exchanges.
Historical in comparison to June 2003 with the emergence of the Tom/Mark entity. Months like October 2002, November 2002, April 2003, and May 2003 are historical in relation to June 2003. The point was that we had a pre-Tom/Mark entity history.
The first time I heard of you was when I came to this website, which was maybe 6 months before I registered, on July 2, 2002.
Ok, so you know me as Mark, but you also know me as the Tom/Mark entity, and these are separate people in your mind. Okie-dokie.
One question ā will you address me by name so I know which of me youāre talking to? Thanks.
