Y'know what I just realized? If Yahweh is "the alpha and the omega", and our local religious freak here calims to be the "Omega", doesn't that make him guilty of blasphemy? :-)

I'm with Liam, I find it fun. I spend so much time doing actual work, reading and writing and debating and studying and writing and acting and writing and drinking and writing and drinking and writing, I need to unwind. Take last night for instance, I had just spent two hours reading The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich (I've got another 900 pages to go). So, I hop on, see Omega talking some shit, and I decide to rip on him. I spent two hours doing it, yeah, and I did have the Greek translation of the Bible on my lap, but it was fun. It was a good unwinding and mental gymnastics. I frankly couldn't care if Omega became a communist overnight, or if he gets shot in a bank hold up tomorrow. For all I know, he is just a creation of Lee's (though my personal idea is that he's an instrument on Herr Capps' revenge for my calling him Chuckie so often) but he gives me a chance to widen my knowledge by trying to trounce him so badly. I enjoy it! And as it is, it is cheaper than drinking.

Which is exactly your problem, Deetychops. Most of us don't have time to spend two hours marshalling arguments that are futile because our opponent will never give in on anything. I've no intention of reading the Bible in English, let alone Greek.
Plus, it gets really boring having you go on about how well-read you are. What was it you said once? "Lee fixes computers. I know a lot. Ha-ha" or something. Which shows how little you know about me or my job. And also shows how arrogant you are. Well, here's something you obviously don't know - no-one likes a smartass.
Basically, I like Omega. He's got some funny ideas, he has a lot to learn about the world, but he's never boring, he always sticks up for himself - and, most importantly, he very rarely gets personal. I couldn't argue as much as he does without in the end criticising my opponent instead of his views.
And, above all, he's one of us. He's always here, always has an opinion, no matter how bizarre it may be. You pop up every so often, then leave in a huff because no-one will proclaim your sheer brilliance. Well, brainiac, get Paramount to feature a shuttlecraft Tyman on Series 5, then we'll talk.
Wow. Did I really just defend Omega? 8)

And, although this is before my time, didn't you leave in a huff because of some stuff about deleting posts? I mean, you came back under an assumed name (VogonPoet), but, uh ... how do you know DT didn't come back under another name and simply resurrect the name DT for the sake of kicking Omega around a bit?
Well, I'm going to go to the store and get some kitty litter. And hopefully, the Super-Duper Kick-Ass DVD edition of Big Trouble in Little China.

So, what? I'm not one to talk? Sorry, I'm a bit disoriented here, haven't had that comeback since I was getting in arguments at the age of, ooh, about eight. Whatever next? No, wait, don't tell me, you're rubber, I'm glue, anything I say sticks to me after bouncing off you? 8)
Welcome to the adult facts of life, people. One of them is hypocrisy. I just don't like all this Omega-bashing. Sure I've done it myself in the past. But then. . . I have done questionable things.
Haven't killed anyone though. Yet. }B)

No, no, I'm not THE Omega. I'm just AN Omega. We come in six-packs.

I'm touched, Lee. I really am.

I don't think that there is ever a time or a place for that.
I'm partly with everyone. Even though, sometimes, I would like to reach into my monitor and throttle the little turd, and then rip his head offf and jam it up his own arse, and then set fire to him, he can be an okay lad at times. He's one of those people who I think are evil by how and where they've grown up, rather than it being inbuilt. He should go and live with Simon. Or Lee. I'm sure, within a year, he'd be a much nicer chap.
And at least he doesn't say "Yay! Death penalty kills people where they burn and die in pain! Burn!".
