EQUAL WORTH AMENDMENT: NOT JUST FOR CONSERVATIVES

[Ian]

In fact you can find all of Arch Bishop Johnson's work lifted from the good folks at LandoverBaptist.net!

You should really pay him no mind, since he doesn't afford the same respect to his plagiarized posts.

[ArchBishopJohnson]

Tis true, tis true, I've borrowed material from my good friend, Chris Harper, simply on grounds of hilarity, though not all of my posts are derived from the teachings of Harry Hardwick.

What the hell. We need a degree of laughter in our lives.

[Ian]

Tis true that not all your posts are plagiarized, only the long, clever ones.

Is Mike Barnicle in the house? !

[Patriot]

Ian:

Actually, Bishop Johnson has only borrowed from Landover as it pertains to the religious. I don't think you're going to find anything from his Lesbian Tolerance threads at Landover, or any of his political musings.

[Ian]

I believe I clearly stated "the long, clever ones".

[midcan5]

You guys got me - I'm confused as hell.

[Ian]

FYI,

Patriot and I moonlight as Catholic Bishops.

I'm a Catholic through and through, however, I find their stance on lesbian relations, as well as their practice of pedophilia, less than becoming and absolutely baseless in Biblical doctrine.

[Patriot]

Well, I personally admit to not being Catholic. The religion is a despicable conglomerate of falsehoods and useless traditions.

However, in my occassional delving into religious humor, I found Catholicism to be most germane as it is less offensive to American Conservatives to read the musings of a Catholic poser, than a Baptist minister.

But, having said that, my tenure as Arch Bishop Johnson has come to an end. I now intend to peruse the boards as my one and only Patriotic self.

Is this similar to a plagiarizing, intellectually vacant, concept-hijacking, characterless poser? Your hypocrisy would be engaging, if it wasn’t so pathetic.

[Patriot]

Why, that's rather harsh, brother Ian. I detect a hint of animosity from one who has himself registered under numerous nom de guerres. Indeed, you have actually gone far beyond me in carrying on conversations with yourself using my lines. Perhaps this is the most relevant time for the old saying, "takes one to know one", but why bother when hypocrisy on your part has already been highlighted by our dear Leader of the Flock, Mo. Let us look to the log in our own eye, before attempting to remove the speck from another's.

[Ian]

I will readily admit that I have registered under the pseudonyms of ArchBishopWood, Cher, MonsignorLynwood etc..

However, brothers Patriot, Franklin, ArchBishopJohnson, I have at no time plagiarized the rantings of another and had I ever used any of your lines, you would be hard pressed, with such a soiled, abhorrent record, to find anyone who would attribute those ideas as originating from any of your wide array of alias' on this board.

I feel that my actions as MonsignorLynwood, ArchBishopWood etc... are perfectly acceptable as I was feeding you with the rope that would ultimately hang your credibility in the eyes of any objective viewer.

[Patriot]

Actually, Ian, thou liest.

I seem to recall a post wherein Monsignor Lynwood cut and pasted, verbatim, the Bible verses used by "Edge", in our scriptural duel (which Edge [me!] ultimately won). Additionally, your idea of contriving Monsignor Lynwood was derived entirely from my contrivance of Bishop Franklin, and you repeatedly stole terms used by Franklin to the extent of, "holy writ", "ad nauseum", etc. I could go through all your posts and make correlations. Talk about "concept hijacking". But I will leave thee to further reminiscences with thyself.

My God! Shakespeare himself enters our verbal duel! (My most sincere apologies if you have you copyrighted duel as well.)

I seem to recall a post wherein Monsignor Lynwood cut and pasted, verbatim, the Bible verses used by "Edge",

Of course, The Gospel of Edge! You've been lowered to owning Bible verses? And to think I was appalled by your hijacking of the asinine ramblings of an atheistic malingerer. I expected so much more my friend, such a sad sight.

Additionally, your idea of contriving Monsignor Lynwood was derived entirely from my contrivance of Bishop Franklin

Which you derived from Chris Harper's Pastor Deacon Fred, let's be entirely open here.

and you repeatedly stole terms used by Franklin to the extent of, "holy writ", "ad nauseum", etc.

I believe shameful imitation is limited to original ideas (such as the Lesbian Tolerance Council, of which I give you credit) or original phrases. Holy writ is descended from archaic Christian writings as well as used in current theological exposes. Ad nauseum is such an identifiable and overused word that it is ridiculous for me to even respond to your zealous copyrighting. In fact, my use of ad libitum, which immediately followed my use of ad nauseum, is far more obscure.

I would bid you goodnight, but I fear you have purchased the intellectual property rights.

Ian:

I believe this discussion has become a waste of my limited time. Rant Web provides an outlet for jocularity as well as political discussion, and I've taken advantage of both mediums. I don't know what names you've used over the course of your tenure on this board, but those thus far utilized have been among the most vacuously pedantic I've witnessed on any discussion board. Therefore, I'm letting the matter drop.

Good luck on the college selection process and may the Lord bless you in all future endeavors.

[Ian]

;D

I'm glad to see your command of a thesaurus hasn’t suffered after our modest quarrel.

The process is complete and I shall be attending Valpo U in the fall.

And a goodnight to you sir!
