Post incoherant clarification of original agreement citing irrelevant passages. Derails own post with a complaint about current group. Points out that nothing matters as the lack of new players will doom rpgs.

Ponders...at length, using comprehensive data from Technical Manuals and the various pertinent novels...the question of who would win a battle between the Death Star and Elminster.

Delurks just long enough to insert a threadjack that both the Death Star and Elminster can't hold a candle to the Borg, then sits back and waits for traditional SW-vs.-ST geek fireworks.

Which never arrive because the post is completely ignored.

Gets angry over people getting so off-topic on a vitally important thread to the gaming industry and says that Star Wars is not related to the ancient Chinese, but rather the Mongols and their deity Nyaricusisdar00ler. Notes that the '00' is not a typo, and that this is valid ancient Mongolianasticese.

Smiles at the fact that that words rhymes with 'cream cheese' and revels in the fatc that he has again proven his mighty command of the Englishrenanianish language

Sits back and lurks in glee at the havok caused by the thread derail about sci-fi movies and tv.

Accuses the OP of being a troll and just bringing up the topic to start a flame-war (again)

Counters MavrickWeirdo with the fact that this topic is obviously very pertenent to gaming at large and how it's more important that sci-fi mongolian capt'n kirks.

Declasres him an outsider by right of his user-names suffix and rants about how good cheese is.

Attacks Nyaricus for being so foolish to judge a poster by merely a screen name....

And argues that you can only truely appreciate cheese if you live within driving distance of Wisconsin...

Points out that an actual troll would not post more than once in his troll-thread, thus proving my ancient USENET cred.

Points out that California actually produces quite a bit of cheese, and not just the Hollywood variety.

Obnoxiously oversized picture which has nothing to do with the flame war at hand, but still manages to insult your intelligence!

Makes an ironic statement to further derail the conversation (i.e. Someone should make this thread a CCG.)

you... you... you big jerk you.

States that he has no idea what Nifft means and that hollyood, while producing quite a bit of cheese, is of a terrible quality.

Claims that George Lucas was a fool, and that he accidentally came upon Star Wars anyway, and that he is due no credit.

Moreover, claims that the best cheese is found on Tatooine.
