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.

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).

Jedi rule-borg drool.
Back into obscurity.
Released from shrunken-ego lurkdom by the combination of wicked Thread Necromancy and an answer to my original post, quote Da Man's succinct argument and proceed to take it apart piece by piece, word by word, giving the entire thread a new longest post and demonstrating both great intellect and a spectacular lack of wisdom in where to apply it. Adds numerous smileys throughout post to accentuate various remarks, deflect attention from otherwise-ban-inducing flames, and just because I like the cute yellow faces. :\

Oh, and increase my post-count by one.

Then, out of nowhere, someone who hasn't been following along comes ut and bumps the entire thread with a post which, while well written, is also fairly stupid and insane, possibly involving one million fifth level heroes versus one eighteenth level lich.

Ignores the thread necromancy in favor of arguing an inane point for pages on end. Continually states that the arguement is pointless and meaningless, and the opponents agree, but none of them stop arguing.

Makes an observation about this post in reference to Paladins, and then makes some ill-informed and inciteful claims about what the Paladin really should be, in light of the obvious truth of my opinion on Lawful Good.

Inserts a long dissertation on how that company should die a slow death due to its broken game system and egomanical CEO. Continues to argue that a setting with dimensional rifts as an excuse to include everything (including kitchen-sink shaped aliens) is doomed from the start.

Three posts later, realizes that the poster said Paladin.

That would be more John Singleton & John Woo than Spike Lee & John Woo...

In a Spike Lee film, Bilbo would ask- with aggression- why Gollum thinks he has the right to question a Hobbit from the Shire...when Gollum reveals his former "Hobbitude," Bilbo would be distressed and shocked (in extreme, fish-eye closeup)...THEN drawing his 9mms from his pockets and blazes away at Gollum while diving to the side screaming something about "doing the right thing."

Enters long rant about people posting spoilers without warning.
Makes lengthy post in total agreement with airwalkrr. Post includes several examples, each of them a major spoiler, and neglects to put warning labels on any of them. Also tosses in a comment about it being better that Han Solo didn't shoot first.

Reads only first and sixth pages of thread. Re-states stale argument.

Posters who perceive themselves as losers of said argument embrace a new round of dead horse flogging.

Then quotes an entire 3-page post, including smileys and asides. Adds a one-line bon mot.

Quotes entire thread and then simply adds, QFT.

Of course, this was just to one-up Hairfoot.

Lacking knowledge of psychology or rhetoric, I now use "passive aggressive" to describe open aggression, and "straw man" to describe balanced arguments which contradict my cherished assumptions.

 

[drothgery]

Enters long rant about people posting spoilers without warning. Makes subtle suggestion that all such individuals should be taken to some remote back alley and shot at close range with a powerful shotgun.

Questions the utility of spoiler warnings for works that are insanely popular in geek culture and ten years old.

 

[Jedi_Solo]

(Posts a string of smilies for no apparent reason - except maybe to increase post count)

 

[Imruphel]

Accused the previous poster of posting a string of smileys solely to increase his post count... knowing that the accusation will also increase his own post count.

Wandered into the thread, planted a shrubbery in the shape of Gary Gygax in the middle, and wandered out again.

 

[paradox42]

Angrily demands Another Shrubbery!!! (cue musical sting) ...only in the shape of Dave Arneson, on a lower level and with a little path running down the middle, so we get the split-level effect here.

Threatens to scream "Nee!" at everybody until we are appeased!

Further demands that all readers who do not understand the above reference turn in their geek credentials immediately.

 

[Swedish Chef]

Plants the requested shrubbery and then plants a second in the shape of a former head of TSR (whom thought she was Lord Over All She Saw) and sets fire to this second shrubbery.

Gets banned for making an obviously politically charged statement.

 

[Agent Oracle]

Plants the requested shrubbery and then plants a second in the shape of a former head of TSR (whom thought she was Lord Over All She Saw) and sets fire to this second shrubbery.

Gets banned for making an obviously politically charged statement.

Seconds the obviously political statement, but takes it entirely off base by ascribing core stats to the former head of TSR, and giving him an intelligence higher than 5. Miraculously, is not banned.
