Ecstatic expression regarding the lengthing of thread to yet another page.

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.

Kassil (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; GameMastery Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 04:48 AM

Snarky comment about length of thread and not-so-secret smugness at snagging the top spot on a new page.

Aberzombie (Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 04:52 AM

Equally snarky comment vis-à-vis previous poster and sheep.

andLich, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 04:53 AM

Assertive testimonial in defense of sheep and the negative light in which they are too often cast.

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.

Secretlyreplacedwith, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 04:56 AM

Self-aggrandizing proclamation.

Suggestion that the above is actually because the poster has a personal stake in seeing interaction with sheep widely accepted.

Further insulting remarks suggesting possible reasons for this to be true. Sweeping generalization about people and sheep.

Kruelaid (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Chronicles, Pathfinder Companion, Planet Stories Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 05:14 AM

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.

Kassil (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; GameMastery Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 05:29 AM

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.

Garjen Soulhammer, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 08:25 AM

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?"

Craig Shackleton (Contributor), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 09:03 AM

Sudden angry request for thread to be locked to keep it out of the 'hot topics,' which only serves to make loyal thread posters post more.

Heathansson, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 09:05 AM

Short post marvelling at the number of posts on a seemingly innocuous subject.

moleculo, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 09:17 AM

Even shorter post echoing previous post.

Craig Shackleton (Contributor), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 09:20 AM

Continues to post in thread contrary to claim that thread should be locked. Decides to go back and read entire thread.

Craig Shackleton (Contributor), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 09:21 AM

Lengthy post agreeing with original poster.

Aberzombie (Pathfinder Adventure Path, Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 10:37 AM

Incongrous diatribe.

Fake Healer, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 10:49 AM

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.

Whimsy Chris, Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 01:00 PM

Snarky comment about the overuse of the word, "Snarky".

Kassil (Pathfinder Chronicles Superscriber; GameMastery Superscriber; Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Subscriber), Wed, Aug 29, 2007, 01:24 PM

Mixed-together post of multiple quotes, with a pretense of civility because one is not double-posting. This time, anyway.

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.

Short response that calls the poster a clueless fool.

Snarky and sarcastic reply that verges on "STFU, n00b".

Post in which all of the "S" characters in a company and/or brand name have been replaced with dollar signs.

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.

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.

Suggestion that if the other poster doesn't like it, there's a virtual door over there and if they move quickly it won't hit them on the way out.

Attempt to revive an earlier tangent of discussion.

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.

Zen-like rumination on Paizo and its role in maintaining the cosmic balance opposed to the ruinous behemoth that is WotC-Hasbro.

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.

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.

Larry Lichman (Pathfinder Adventure Path Charter Subscriber; Pathfinder Companion Subscriber), Thu, Aug 30, 2007, 11:11 AM

Jacks thread with another long winded synopsis of what is wrong with 4e, citing fictional sources.

Generalization that all WotC employees have been replaced by pod people.

Whimsy Chris, Thu, Aug 30, 2007, 11:20 AM

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).

Fake Healer, Thu, Aug 30, 2007, 11:24 AM

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.
