Writes a two page post decrying misuse of threads, accidentally deletes it and then replaces it with a short rant flaming everyone on this thread (except self) and blaming Gary for the original deletion.
(ED: Then jubilantly congratulates self in an editorial remark for bringing useless thread to a new page.)
(ED: In a second editorial mocks other poster for coming in second)
Disregarding of the flow of the discussion to reply to a single throwaway remark made a page earlier. Reply is overly long-winded and detailed, causing a severe but temporary threadjack.
Adds that pirates keel haul, force plankwalking, and make scalawags fight it out on the Dead Man's Chest.
In addition, pirates have lotsa fun drinking songs, one of which was paid homage by the Beastie Boys.
Makes an unassailable argument with the tacit point that pirates have an AP in Dungeon magazine; ninjas don't.

Replies indignantly with equally long winded and detailed comment even though self was never involved in earlier throwaway remark. Concludes by inadvertently appealing to a racial trope. Offends everyone and is warned by Gary to discontinue or Gary will close the thread.
Decides that guns are a great subject. Tries to steer the previous poster in that direction; he started the threadjack, he'll pay the butcher's pound of flesh....
Attempts pithy summary of many views previously posted as thinly veiled excuse to launch into wordy sharing of a beloved old character's exploits, which prove totally lame out of context and garner more smirks than smiles. Fully ignored by subsequent posters, much to this poster's frustration and chagrin upon not being quoted multiple times.
Enormous late post which tries to address all the main themes of the thread so far. Unfortunately poster is in the southern hemisphere and finds the thread inactive save for three other Australians, and a handful rogue Americans and Europeans who aren't making much sense due to the fact that they should really be in bed by now. Poster resolves to return tomorrow, and process repeats...
A previous poster pops into thread to say g'day to a fellow Australian, adding nothing to the topic of conversation (apart from a little alliteration).

Obligatory response to the post that identifies the poster as one of the self-same Americans who isn't making much sense and should probably be in bed by now. Actually, it's only 11pm here in Arizona. Not very late by my standards.
Points out it's 1:05 AM now, but is still up due to suffering from some cabbage induced insomnia. Tries again to say something thread relevant, but realizes everything has been said already so decides to spend a few lines of text acting like a complete fanboy of anything Paizo has ever done or produced.
Yet another string of obscenity followed by ranting over the cost of 3rd edition supplements on gaming shelf. Various complaints about well known gaming company.
Vicious and scathing post extolling the virtues of treating animals well, followed by an off-color joke about sheep and farmers being intimate. Standard sideways winking smiley face follows.

Ponders aloud as to why initial post no longer shows on thread, necessitating shameful self-quoting. Harbors suspicions of persecution by shadowy ninja organizations and global conspiracies afoot on Paizo boards.
Condescendingly chides previous poster's belief in so-called "shadowy ninja organizations and global conspiracies". Calmly assures general public that there is no such thing.....
Spoiler:
...while closing door of closet containing Secret Cabal Membership robes.
Vitriolic complaint about cultural insensitivity supported with quotations from Edward Said. Explanation of the uniqueness of poster's culture and marginalization of everyone else's.

Ignorant inquiry as to what Edward said. Slander of all non-American countries, filled with exclamations such as, "U.S.A! U.S.A!", "America Rawks!", and "Love it or leave it, man!"
Final statement that poster doesn't have time for "you people" and that he's got to "go wax his board."
Term of agreement written in folksy patois rendered vague and meaningless by the fact that it is utterly unclear to what prior post respondent is agreeing.
Followed by at least two strings of ellipses and three emoticons.
Jumps in to conversation on the 4th page of the thread, without bothering to read the last 3 pages, agreeing with the original poster and wondering what all the fuss is about.
