Obviously.

Hm, no. It's all how you look at it. And you're obviously not *looking* at it right.

Because I say so.

I hijack this thread with a personal complaint that is related to the original thread over five corners. I state that everyone that doesn't agree with me is a poopyhead.

I respond to Gold Roger's sweeping generalization, demonstrating by a thorough mathematical analysis based on publish statistical evidence that at most, between 2/3 and 3/4 (the actual proportion in my calculations is sqrt(1/2)) of all people who disagree with him can possibly be poopyheads, and that the number is probably rather lower than that. 99% of readers glance at my post, see mathematics, and read ahead. The other 1% immediately check my calculations. At first there seems to be a miscalculation, but it turns out it is a typo in an intermediate step; when that is corrected, my final answer turns out to be correct.

Chides Orsal and Gold Roger for being off topic and then quotes a single line from Nyaricus' orginal post with one word bolded as proof that he's a stupid-head and ends by mentioning that my cat just had kittens.

Fails to read any of the thread except the original post.

Quotes the entirety of the original post.

Makes the exact same point as Jdvn1 using the same Gygax quote.

Says something musing but only tangentially related to the topic.

First the reply is considered a Hateful Answer(C) but then in further posts it is somehow proven that there is no hate, only love for the truth.

Second the reply is being pondered about wether it contains anything.

Third the answer to the previous question is a dialectical "yes", which invalidates all previous answers because they failed to make the same points as I did (including this one).

I get angry about the reason for the post, stating that this isn't how it used to be done here at ENWorld, pointing to my registration date so that you all know I'm old school.

Invokes Godwin's Law and is soundly flamed for it.

Claims he has had enough and will be leaving the forums forever but posts the next day as if nothing had happened.

Cheers,

Takes offense at comment. Mentions role playing games back during the Great Depression and World War II and tells of walking seven miles uphill through driving rain, ice, snow and hail of frogs and locusts in order to game. Fills three more paragraphs with further examples.

I report the post and tell the moderators that there's too much foul language on these boards disguised by smilies and ask why Diaglo is allowed to post the same comments over and over again. I then point out that rpg.net wouldn't put up with it.

The moderators then ignore my report.

Somehow manages to equate the original poster's viewpoint with fascism and he with nazis; offering no valid correlation between the two.
