Smug rejoinder that previous poster has simply proved his point.
Mocking reminder about the intent to never return to the thread. Suggestion of a mental disorder, or perhaps brain damage.
Equally smug comment about success in baiting the above poster to make them look like a fool, failing to notice that oneself is also looking like a total fool.
Equally snarky comment vis-à-vis previous poster and sheep.
Insulted response, followed by an attempt at making fun of it with a remark about other animals. Subtle suggestion of unhealthy practices in this vein on the previous poster's part.
Suggestion that earlier posters engage in bukkake with ruminant farm animals followed by string of obscene onomatopoeia representing the sound of a farmer and his favorite sheep.
Then a sickening paragraph discussing zoophiles and bestiality.
Concludes with repeated suggestion that earlier posters engage in bukkake with ruminant farm animals revealing poster to know just a little too much about the topic.
Attempt to derail the thread from ruminants and activities involving them by loudly complaining about flaws in 3.5, hypothesized flaws in 4e, and how 2e was so much better.

Questions poster's parentage and apparently "damaged" state for saying the 2E was better than 3.5E. Cites various THAC0 and demi-human level cap rules as fuel to my observation without any concern for accuracy.
Long-winded and rambling post decrying modern politics and a desire to return to a more fundamentalist lifestyle, all by way of attempting to grab the thread by its horns and wrench it back onto its original intent and meaning.
Finishes by restating original poster's observation in own words ending with " Thoughts, anyone?"
Much conjecturing on the roots of the word "diatribe". Snarky comment alluding to a certain Lycan-poster and his possible roots within that "tribe".
smiley with tongue out
no signature this time, to be different.
Mixed-together post of multiple quotes, with a pretense of civility because one is not double-posting. This time, anyway.

abbreviated sign-off
Snide comment using the common complaint of 3.5 being too much like a video game, coupled with a suggestion that the above poster is a 'roll-player' rather than a role-player.

Suggestion that there apparently isn't any thought in the poster's mind, hence why the request for the thoughts of others. Attempt at being sarcastic and funny that fails at both.

Lengthy post agreeing with original poster.
Short response that calls the poster a clueless fool.

Snarky comment about the overuse of the word, "Snarky".
Snarky and sarcastic reply that verges on "STFU, n00b".
Thread degenerates into a lot of posts involving smurfs
Lengthy diatribe about smurfs being communists bent on undermining the quality of life in the free world, backed up by poorly-thought-out logic and evidence so filmsy that it makes rice paper look like adamantite.
EDIT: Later sees a smurf in place of own avatar and throws a total fit accusing anyone and everyone of being in on a communist conspiracy to try to drive him mad.
EDIT: Later edit apologizing for the accusations, once the medication has kicked in.

Notes distain of blue-skined, three-apple tall knobs... Declaration that Wuzzles are superior in order to altar avatar.
Assertion of the dubious, and indeed, dodgy nature of the lineage of all the other posters to the thread, except for any who might be in agreement with oneself.
Zen-like rumination on Paizo and its role in maintaining the cosmic balance opposed to the ruinous behemoth that is WotC-Hasbro.
Insulting description of the above poster as a 'raving fan' who should go get their head checked, followed up by a lame attempt at seeming fair by claiming that this is just one's "two cents".
Long rambling post about the beauty of chaos in action and how this whole thread is a long spiral into entropy.
Fumbled attempt at trying to be nihilist.
Echoes similar thoughts without the nihilism, then expresses amazement that the thread did not die a week ago and that such a simple idea as a "generic" post exhibits such enthusiastic and creative results. Manages to work in a comment about pirates, ninjas, cookies and crossbows (cookie crossbows...hmmm...maybe a weapon that lauinched disks. Do those exist?).

Disparaging supposition (with a hint of extreme paranoia) that poster just might be an employee of aforementioned ruinous behemoth, sent here to infiltrate the Paizo community and disrupt its harmonious structure.

Attempt at calming paranoia involving a statement abouts rights to free speech and that not everyone has to like the same companies... then echoes thoughts in the exact same way, claiming that it's all right for me to do it due to being medically paranoid.

Snooty emphasis on fact that, technically, it has not actually been a week since this thread was first begun. Haughty intimation that poster should get his facts straight.

Smarmy post supporting previous post, to no real effect, except perhaps to establish "smarmy" as the new "snarky."

Simple post directing prior poster to back issue of Dragon magazine in response to the question posed.
EDIT: Edited post wondering whether specificity of back issue references destroys the "General" unspecificity of the thread thereby creating a tear in the time/space continuum dooming us all.
General reminder that there is a special area specifically for 4e threads. Request to get back on topic.
Follows with a lengthy discussion on the new Pathfinder setting, specifically naming conventions for the Kazakhstan analog country (for make benefit of glorious D&D games tabling).
Amazing spot-on post that bears an astounding amount of insight into the original, thereby bringing the discussion fully back onto topic.
A snarky line wondering why a certain one-eyed overseer hasn't issued warnings against some of the threadjacking that has occured on this thread. Inquiries into the status of said Overseer's salary, with a slight inference to do his job.
A quick wrap up with a "LOL" to lessen the sting of the last comment.
