How to Make a Great Point on Messageboards

[KnightErrantJR]

Step One: Make a statement. Try to go completely from your gut when you are already wound up by something.

Step Two:: Find something, somewhere that vaguely sounds like it supports your point. Even if its not from game design. It can be a quote from the Dukes of Hazard, so long as it sounds like it supports what you just said, latch onto it.

Step Three: Repeat the supporting statement, changing one or two words, after almost every other post in the thread. Hammer it into the ground, and wear that simple statement like a suit of armor.

Step Four: One of two things will happen after you do this long enough. Either reality will warp so that your statement is undeniable reality, or everyone of any importance will love you and agree with you.

Those that don't agree with you have then shown themselves to be idiots without any value in life, and you can feel free to ridicule them with impunity, since its the internet and if you have proven yourself valueless, that means you should just die because you don't count as a person.

Or, you know, don't do any of the above and actually treat other people with respect. Its a judgment call, really.

Just remember you need to take a feat to make a great point with one hand.

Sorry. Not listening. You didn't provide anything (such as a quote from The Dukes of Hazzard) to support your point.

Just'a good ol' boys
Never meanin' no harm.
Beats all you never saw
Been in trouble with the law
Since the day they was born

Staightnin' the curves
Flatnin the hills
Someday the mountain might get 'em
But the law never will

Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

Makin' their way
The only way they know how
That's just a little bit more
Than the law will allow.

I'm a good ol' boy
You know my momma loves me
But she don't undestand
They keep a showin my hands and not my face on TV

This is one advantage I have when I post: isn't it obvious that I'm quoting myself?

I take exception to this.

The use of Phallic Imagery is corrupting our youth at an alarming rate. At this rapid rate, our youth will be corrupted in less than a single generation. Phallic imagery affects a young mind in ways that corrupt good values. Without good values, young people grow up corrupt, valueless. It is happening at an alarming rate.

Phallic imagery is an important pillar of family values. There will be no young without the phallus.

Up Eros! Up Mars!

I am merely exercising my right to freedom of speech. You are clearly attempting to suppress my artistic vision!

Step Five: All caps and no separation of paragraphs. This is the single most important step to remember.

I wanted to provide a proper quote, but when I typed in "Cooter Quotes" into Google, I got scared.
