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

[dragoner]

I actually accidentally discovered someone else on a forum I never went to (it was some kind of anime or cartoon forum) was using a slightly altered version of my avatar pic when it came up in search results while googling some random thing I can't remember. When I asked him to stop using this pic (because I took the original photograph it comes from), he actually had the utter gall to fight me on it, claiming it was his...
He even kept arguing after I linked to posts on forums and other places from nearly ten years before the incident with this pic on them, when he wasn't able to produce a link to a post more than a year old. He couldn't even produce an unaltered version of the original pic. Even though pretty much everyone on the forum including the mods had agreed he was busted and completely full of crap, he just kept doubling down on his BS until I posted a new pic of the hat and skull with a slightly rude message on a 3x5 card (which he accused me of photoshopping, lol) and the mods finally forcefully removed his profile pic...

Wow! That is crazy. I think if I were told by a pics owner to stop using it, I would in a second.

I wonder if I'd have an easier time believing the pizza makers who say they are able to spontaneously create new pizza that is only based on their current customer, with no lingering effects of whatever was already in their mind or on previous menus, if they were also able to reply to the current Yelp review they've gotten without obviously being hypersensitized and still affected by the previous one.

A: "Different people have different tastes."
B: "Well, they shouldn't."

And I wander away from another thread.

It wonder how many GM's take on the part of the almighty in the beginning of James Fenton's poem as their role in the game:

Spoiler: Beginning of the poem

A nasty surprise in a sandwich,
A drawing-pin caught in your sock,
The limpest of shakes from a hand which
You’d thought would be firm as a rock,

A serious mistake in a nightie,
A grave disappointment all round
Is all that you’ll get from th’ Almighty,
Is all that you’ll get underground.

Oh he said: ‘If you lay off the crumpet
I’ll see you alright in the end.
Just hang on until the last trumpet.
Have faith in me, chum – I’m your friend.’

But if you remind him, he’ll tell you:
‘I’m sorry, I must have been pissed –

(the rest doesn't really apply).

I’ve been occupied recently researching the best way to put numbers in upper case so I can better shout at people on the internet who do math wrong.

"Nobody thinks clearly, no matter what they pretend. Thinking’s a dizzy business, a matter of catching as many of those foggy glimpses as you can and fitting them together the best you can. That’s why people hang on so tight to their beliefs and opinions; because, compared to the haphazard way in which they’re arrived at, even the goofiest opinion seems wonderfully clear, sane, and self-evident. And if you let it get away from you, then you’ve got to dive back into that foggy muddle to wangle yourself out another to take its place."

The pedantry on these forums is nearly unbearable.

So much so, in fact, I expect someone to come along to say that technically pedantry is not a physical object that can be carried, so it is actually unbearable, not nearly.

You are technically correct, which is the best form of correct.
