I wrote that reply in one five minute sitting after getting back from class today and then logging on. Sorry if my ability to actually think on my feet is so threatening to you. If you think anything else, you might want to join me in the hubble deep field. Bring your crisco and one of the latex gloves that bull juicers use to jack off and then inseminate the bovine population. There might be a spare one hanging from your wife's crotch.

So an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and bad attitude is empirically worse than the uneducated asshole with a grabag of 8 major putdowns that he shakes up from time to time, but never varies. "Die in a Fire" "Stuff object X up your ass" "You're (insert douche-related product here". It's the same trite shit from you every time, and the reason you aren't called on it is because you're part of the old-timer clique.

"Grown up conversation"--by this I assume you mean the tired and old beliefs of people rapidly approaching middle and late age who have by and large given up on their own ability to actually make anything of themselves or change anything about the world. Of course, since I'm not yet a quitter, I guess I just don't understand how hard the world is :crybaby:. The sad fact about assertions like that is that they show you for the coward and the stagnant lump of prokaryote shit that you actually are.

If you want to weigh what you do in your life versus mine, you can, but I don't think that you are going to come out favorably. I'm sorry if I'm not restrained by the 9-5 job, answering to one of the Bobs, or being the lackey of any numerous donkeys ahead of me on the professional ladder. I actually have intellectual and personal freedom in my career, and I prefer it that way. There's a reason why people like you don't do what I do--you can't. However, you have so much invested in your own insular and primitive view of the world that the mere risk of trying to think outside of the miniscule box you've created for yourself envelops you in so much fear and terror that you'd sooner return to your own barbaric assumptions than ever attempt to have a truly brave or original thought roll through your head. And since you can't counter what I say with any substance, enter the grammarian trolls to try and prop you up.

Actually, it's not free to whomever pays the undoubtedly massive hosting cost for it. I don't know how that all works, but I doubt the cornball Google ads defrayed much of the cost.

Look at Chiefshuddle's traffic and their advertising. I know for a fact that dude is taking down some coin and they have a lot less traffic than the Planet.

I've met Iowaian several times and he's a good guy. Since you are a Cardinals fan that makes you okay in my book. Save the rancor for the n00bs.

I have to agree with Zach - it would be one thing if it were silence, but it's not. It's unfulfilled promises. Tis better to say nothing at all than to promise something and not deliver.

But I digress...

Like I said, Kyle has been approached time and again with opportunities for this site to MAKE money, and he's just not interested. It's seems to me to be just plain apathy.

I truly love this place. It's the best site on the Internet. I've probably spent more time here in the last 6 years than I have in my bed. I'd like to be the last person to question Kyle, after all, he's essentially entrusted *me* with running this site.

Yep, that's what I said. When it comes to the day-to-day running of the Planet - I'm Carl Peterson. Other than Dole, all of the mods you see now are my appointees. He doesn't tell me what to do, and even when I ask about things, he rarely answers.

Look, I don't want to say anything bad about Kyle - this place would be here without him. But there's no use in dancing around the truth.

The only thing really bigger than your inflated ego is the void of validity to the majority of your arguements in most any grown up conversation.

As for what I do or who I am and how I carry myself, I don't require validation here to sleep at night. While I do struggle with carrying myself like a Christian should sometimes and often utilize the quick thinking given to me by my creator, I'll wager I do more in real life to walk the walk than your self worshipping, conceited, self aggrandizing, pompous candy ass would ever hope. Alot of people here know what I'm about in real life. You're just hot air and schegma breath.

For as superior as you obviously feel that you are, its equally as obvious to me that your head is far enough up your knowitall ass you'd need the Hubble telescope to see what color your eyes are. You're the cowardly lion with a big roar and $2 words, scared shitless that someone will answer your $.25 ass.

I should probably cower in shame, as you've so adeptly demonstrated your superior play of the game of life, by nearly doubling my yearly posting rate.

Maybe someday, you'll be fully employed and the real adult conversations will make more sense. Until then, you'll have to keep relying on that Freshman book report.

As to why I don't like you, it delves no deeper than the fact that you're an elitist asshole with a thesaurus and a bad attitude, and you think that makes you Bill Braskey.

If Kyle is offended by this thread, he's much less of a man than I have given him credit for. I am quite grateful for the opportunity Kyle has provided for us. I feel that we, as Chiefs fans, are more fortunate than most NFL fans to have a place like this to hang. Again, thank you Kyle. I've expressed my thanks to Kyle in numerous other threads as well.

No, Jim....I give Kyle more credit than you do. I'm confident he'll understand the spirit in which this was intended.

Kyle is obviously a talented and busy dude. At some point, we all have choices to make. Maybe he's wrestling with that choice. If so, that's cool. I'm merely eager to see this place take it to the "next level"--as an NFL coach might say.

If that's with Kyle; great, because I'm sure it'll be a great ride. If that's with someone else, I think that's fine too. Phil just happens to be the first dude to pop into my mind, in the event Kyle decides to hand the thing off. And it's certainly no reflection on Kyle's contributions to this place. He's the man holding the cards. No doubt about it. I'm just hoping he makes a play....any play...sometime soon. That's all.

Thanks for your candor and insight. Heh.

Kyle....every one of us who've come to love this place thank you for what you've done--seriously and sincerely. Some of us are just intrigued at the unrealized potential this place may have.

If you are occupied with other obligations, or simply are not interested in exploring that realm...that's entirely cool. It's certainly your call, and your prerogative. And, once again, thanks for all you do.

Some of us whiny bitches just need to enjoy what we have, I guess. ;)

If someone is able to do it then more power to them, I am sure that was what Phil hoped to do at WPI and as he found out it is not as easy as it sounds. You are looking for new opportunties, why don't you give it a try.

Seriously, though, if I had the technical background and, more importantly, capital/investment group to pull it off....I'd be tempted. However, I don't. And I know you are right; it wouldn't be easy. So, I'm reduced to whining about it--because I'd still like to see it.
