The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[CleverNickName]

Y'all were SO worried about pineapple tidbits that you never even noticed that this was happening, right under your noses, at an "Authentic Italian" pizzeria in Torresdale, outside of Philadelphia.

That is easily the worst thing that I've ever seen, and I've seen the photoshops of Benedict Cumberbatch dressed up as Spike Spiegel as a fake casting announcement.*

I should not have Googled that... nope, shouldn't have Googled that...

Looking at the outrage being generated, I need to copyright my joke initialization of WotC ("We Olso Threaten Customers") before I lose out. I mean, look at the guy who coined TSR's "They Sue Regularly"! Much cleverer, but he missed the monetization wagon and didn't see a dime from that creativity! No, sir, I plan to follow in the footsteps of that 9/11 charity that tried to trademark the phrase, "Let's roll!"

And now the thread will be a re-airing of the OGL drama full time for those who missed it the first time around.

I'm really curious what <insert noun> you <insert verb> <insert preposition>, because I'm willing to bet it's got a <insert adverb><insert adjective><insert noun> too and you're still <insert verb> <insert pronoun>.

I couldn't get pizza to work. This doesn't feel like it works.

It's always deeply unpleasant when people I mostly-respect get into it with each other.

People in Del Boca Vista are demanding pineapple be stricken from the menu as they are suffering allergic reactions just by seeing it. Meanwhile the rest of the world doesn't care and usually requests more fruit be added as a topping.

Possibly needs a bit of set up? Thinking something like below, which goes two ways, and think have seen both in action and sometimes people think one is happening when the other is and vice versa:

Speaker one 'Did you know gban pizza offers pizza with pineapple on it? I won't buy pizza from there again, I will never buy from somewhere that offers pizza with pineapple on it'.

Two potential conversations result, conversation 1:

Speaker two 'Do you know how many pizza joints offer pineapple on a pizza? There may be ones you buy from today that do so - will you stop buying from them as well?'
Speaker one 'I don't have to look up what other places are selling or whether current places I peruse offer pineapple, you can't tell me where else I can't buy from, I'm not buying from gban because of this clear reason, and that's enough'.
Speaker two 'but ...'

Conversation 2:

Speaker two 'Do you know pineapple is a fruit, and also that tomato is technically a fruit - so are you going to avoid all places that offer tomato on pizza as well?'
Speaker one 'Well no, I have a problem with pineapple, not any fruit, I will avoid any place with pineapple and research accordingly, but places offering tomatoes are fine'
Speaker two 'but ...'

Both start the same, and seem to end the same, but I have differing sympathies for speaker 1 or 2 depending on which conversation is being had, but often I think the various participants are responding to the two different conversations - whether speaker two believes they are having conversation one, or speaker one believes they are having conversation two, and it spirals from there.

Thinking about it, there is often the third one, which does start slightly differently:

Speaker one 'gban pizza offers pineapple on pizza, that is just one straw too many with other issues I have with gban pizza, I'm not buying from them again'

And then speaker two goes into either opening above, and at that point I have sympathy for speaker one, as they haven't made any sort of blanket statement, they have just said they don't want to shop at gban pizza there, and their reason isn't some broad brush one, it is specific to gban pizza, so doesn't feel any good reason for a speaker two to come in with either of the conversation pieces above. People always have right to not shop somewhere, even if they are missing out on some fine pineapple pizza
