I know I should ignore, but ... I ... just ... can't ... resist ... feeding ... the ... troll: "So who was responsible for vetting and hiring Leon?"
Ignorance is truly bliss!!! I'm glad I have him on ignore. I was trying to figure out what all the fuss was about, but figured he that shall not be named was the reason, I'm perfectly content to not care anymore. Thank you to those of you pushing the ignore campaign.
In addition to ignoring, Andy really ought to consider getting a restraining order in place before this guy goes all Chapman.
Psst...hit Ignore and it all goes away. It's like he never posted. It's a beautiful BS feature. I strongly recommend it. If anyone must feed "Thee" Troll, please don't quote him. I don't want to read it.
Here's the thing about "The Charter"... I never trusted it in the first place. It always felt like it came from a place of wishful thinking from Section 8, and a position of "get a handle on this" from the FO (and #Hauptmanout in particular, since he was so proud to say he "spearheaded the initiative" in the press release). If you actually read it, there's not even a shred of "togetherness" in there...just a series of liable consequences for "us", and built-in recusability for "them". Link to announcement on the Fire's website: http://www.chicago-fire.com/news/2010/04/supporters-charter-signed Link to The Charter itself on the Fire's website: http://www.chicago-fire.com/content/supporters-charter See what I mean? Maybe not? Just a matter of co-accidental website link shuffling? I don't know...just saying, I could create a website from whole cloth tomorrow and it's Alexa ranking would be higher than either the Fire's site or Section 8's within a month. They both suck at this.
For those of you would like to continue learning from me, thank you. I look forward to continuing to educate the forum on the Fire. For example, Saeyddthe's link wherever he got it from or made up is not the charter link on the Fire's website. Here is the actual link including Spanish and Polish translations linked from the "supporters" page: http://www.chicago-fire.com/club/supporters/charter For those of you who would like to stick your fingers in your ears and continue the great circle jerk of ignorance, at least I won't have to waste my time responding to your pathetic attempts to contradict me.
Shut up. Adults are talking here. You're the kind of 12 year old girl that thinks Justin Beiber is amazingly talented. Thank you for your "service", but you're not needed anymore. I think "the rest of us" are all on the same page now.
Oh, and sorry to anyone that's all happy about having him/her on ignore. That's cool too. I might pretend otherwise at times, but I honestly just find it more amusing than aggravating. I actually do appreciate the galvanizing effect it has. That's kinda why because half my posts, etc, anyway.
Oh, just when I am about to start ignoring you again, you post something this precious. Ignorance and arrogance, what an adorable combination. I guess we need to add the words "educate" and "pathetic" to the growing list of words with meanings that are beyond you. Carry on, little Iron81, carry on, keep tilting at windmills.
Think of "It" kind of like a beer. "It" kills your brain cells but goes about it in a different less pleasant manner.
TALL KNIGHT: When you have found the shrubbery, then you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest ... with a herring. OTHER KNIGHTS: Yes! With a herring! With a herring! Cut down with a herring! ARTHUR: We shall do no such thing ... let us pass! TALL KNIGHT: Oh, please! ARTHUR: Cut down a tree with a herring? It can't be done! OTHER KNIGHTS: (they all recoil in horror) Oh! TALL KNIGHT: Don't say that word. ARTHUR: What word? TALL KNIGHT: I cannot tell you. Suffice to say is one of the words the Knights of Ni! cannot hear! ARTHUR: How can we not say the word, if you don't tell us what it is? TALL KNIGHT: (cringing in fear) You said it again! ARTHUR: What, 'is'? TALL KNIGHT: (dismissively) No, no ... not 'is'! OTHER KNIGHTS: Not 'is'! Not 'is'! [Suddenly singing is heard from deep in the forest.] SIR ROBIN'S SINGERS: Bravely good Sir Robin was not at all afraid To have his eyeballs skewered ... TALL KNIGHT: (irritated) 'Is' is all right ... You wouldn't get far not saying 'Is'! BEDEVERE: My liege, it's Sir Robin! TALL KNIGHT: (covering his ears) You've said the word again! [SIR ROBIN and his SINGERS appear in the clearing. The SINGERS are going on cheerfully as usual and ROBIN walks in front of them, continually embarrassed at their presence.] SINGERS: ... and his kidneys burnt and his nipples skewered off ... [ROBIN holds his hand up for silence.] ARTHUR: Sir Robin! [He shakes his hand warmly.] ROBIN: My liege! It's good to have found you again ... TALL KNIGHT: Now he's said the word! ARTHUR: Where are you going good Sir Robin? ROBIN'S SINGERS: (starting up again) He was going home ... he was giving up, He was throwing in the sponge. ROBIN: (to SINGERS) Shut up! No ... er ... no ... I ... er ... I ... er ... I certainly wasn't giving up ... I was actually looking for the grail ... er thing ... in this forest. ARTHUR: No ... it lies beyond this forest. TALL KNIGHT: Stop saying the word! OTHER KNIGHTS: Stop saying the word! The word we cannot hear! The word ... ARTHUR: (losing his patience with the fearful KNIGHTS OF 'NI') Oh, stop it! [Terrific confusion amongst the KNIGHTS OF 'NI, they roll on the ground covering their ears. The TALL KNIGHT remains standing trying to control his MEN.] OTHER KNIGHTS: They're all saying the word ... TALL KNIGHT: Stop saying it. AAAArghh! ... I've said it ... OTHER KNIGHTS: You've said it! Aaaaarghhh! ... We've said it ... We're all saying it.
