You forgot to mention his socialist tendencies.
Hey! I only hung out with that crowd to get in your mom's pants.
You know what we haven't done to this thread yet...
Oh! And *explosive runes*
As a disestablishmentarian, I demand satisfaction!

Awww, so cute.
EDIT: Hey, where'd you go? Mairkurion = Leafy Ninja.
Nah, forget it. I remembered I was an anti-disestablishmentarian...

Flip-flopper!

NOOOOO!!!! I cede my nomination to you sir...
As long as you meet my demands, that I can be one of your cronies... not the knee-capping kind, more like the yapping "yes" dog in those old warner bros. cartoons.
I remembered I was an anti-disestablishmentarian...Flip-flopper!
Nope. I'm just used to seeing "antidisestablishmentarianism." It's good to find right-thinking people on these boards. When is steam coming back? Let's name the first new service steam engine, Richard III.
Why? Was your mom busy that night?
No.
...
She wanted to try a threesome.

Sorry, man, I don't think I'm going to be electing a Garble. There are...um...political...uh...let's just pretend I came up with some clever thing to justify linking one of the worst timesuck sites since TV Tropes.
CURSE YOU!!!!1!!!12!!!@
I still dub thee Ninja-with-a-banana-leaf-sword.
Nah, forget it. I remembered I was an anti-disestablishmentarian...
I will wield it honorably, in defense of antidisestablishmentarianism!
BURN!
BURN!

I know I can be kind of textually abusive, but it's only because your opinions do not matter when compared to my shiny, golden truth. After all, I am only The Greatest Man That Ever Lived.
No, but seriously, if it looks like there's no hope/reason, I tend to avoid the thread (and its subsequent progeny) entirely, when it seems that people are only reading half of what you type, and ignore the context entirely in order to happily misinterpret and confront you, that's a good time to make one final explanation, and should that not work, bail.
I think one of the big issues with forums, especially forums designed to host discussions about RPGs, are that despite the concrete rules in place, there's still room for interpretation, and variations of play-styles bring about different understandings. In short: it is entirely subjective. And when we go off of the subjective we're working with our personal (and sometimes emotional) experiences on any given subject, and that can get nasty reeeeeeeeally quick.
Want a prime example? Look at every single Paladin thread ever conceived in the history of D&D forums, ever. Disagreeing with someone's views on how a Paladin should behave quickly turns from a theoretical discussion about an imaginary knight (who worships an imaginary deity on an imaginary planet) to how you're personally supporting the rise of the Abyssal Legions to conquer that same world via the tactical application of unwinnable "kill the baby or let the planet die" - "that cute kitten is a rape demon, but it doesn't know" - "the shopkeeper screwed you out of a silver piece" situations. But I digress.
It's why I try to stand as close to the middle ground as I humanly can, and stick to the game as advertised, packaged, and delivered. It's also why I try to stress that my opinion is only my opinion. Either way, Evil Lincoln, you've got my empathy.
