[OT] This is an off-topic thread [Meta-thread]

[Darrin Drader]

Wonders why the moderators never show up to prevent catastrophic board failures when Apoc Kitty shows up.

Refutes all of the feline points, and also mentions that Q-balls are in fact relevant to radio because of the loud music in bars, which is where 70% of all pool tables are kept. Now that correlation is proven, goes on to laugh at the feline intellect while secretly wondering if my argument holds water.

Refers back to the original subject tangentially, but then goes into a minor rant about how the impersonal nature of the Internet has made everyone so rude online. Pouts for a while, then posts another Haikuu that is also technically incorrect.

Wonders why people keep discussing his balls and requests that all such discussion about his body parts stop.

I read this thread and sadly shake my head while resisting the urge to post. Really, what is the point? I know full well that with such inflamatory statements, it will just drag down into a bitter flamefest. Derogatory statements will fly back and forth. Politics, religion and astrology will surely come into play. One or more members will wear out their mouse as they frantically click on the "Report post to moderator" link.

No, contributing to this thread will ultimately be counter productive and lead to the destrcution of the sense of community here. Instead, I sit back smugly and watch the flames rain down. Wait for ConnerSB's predictions on the contents of post #20 to be wrong so I can watch him flounder as ther posters point out his errors.

After a couple of minutes while I mull over the original post, I read quickly through the thread and find out that everything I wanted to say has already been said. I am late to the thread once more.

Not to be undone, I post a witty/scathing/2 a.m./uneducated reply to Baraendur’s post, in which I express my condolences/anger/agreement/disagreement with/against/for Baraendur and the subject of discussion. Never mind that other posters before me have already done that this.

I then edit my post several times in word.

I rewrite half my post.

I read the posts that have been posted since my I began writing and see that I have been pre-empted several times more by other, new posts.

I debate whether or not I should post.

I edit my post.

I post.

Maybe.

Quotes an enormous block of text, and adds a single comment that has nothing to do with the quoted text, except maybe tangentially.

Laughs maniacally, for no apparent reason.

Points out that I was just discussing this same topic with some admins grandma the other day.

after a long hiatus from general I return to find that some things have not changed. Wonder if I spelled hiatus right? Remind people that I still have pictures of Bessy the Hellcow and I'm not afraid to use them, wonder to myself what the topic was as I forgot what was in the first post while reading the other post. Make up witty banter to show my superior intellect, once again wonder if I spelled hiatus right, go back and read first post. realize that I have no clue what he was talking about so I decide to make a biting statement of it's inappropriateness here, figure that there is a good chance it's not and I'll be viewed as a hero for standing up against such a blatent attempt at whatever he was talking about which if I understood it would most likely be Off Topic (he labelled it OT after all). once again wonder about my bad spelling but decide that mispellings can be written off as me using a hip new off topic lingo, retire from this post to bask in own percieved glory.

 

[Liminal Syzygy]

Jumps to conclusions about Baraendur's political leanings and makes a veiled attack skirting dangerously close to breaking the "no politics" rule.

Cautions jdavis about the threat to bring Bessy back. Points out that the topic died two "This is a....." threads ago, so there is no reason to return to it. SilverMoon then shows himself to be a complete hypocrite by once again bringing up the television show Gilligan's Island, and the sociological implications of the televison show as being a microcosm of society.

Looks at all of the above "flames" and decides to take the high road. Rebukes all flamers and calls for a calm and civil tone to this discussion. Warns against flamers retaliating against me with the cliche "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me."

Edits typo.

 

[Cedric]

Makes a well thought and carefully phrased statement, which will undoubtedly be ignored by all future posts.

 

[Hand of Evil]

Wonders if this is not the start of another Hivemind thread.
