But if the masses are idiots, wouldn't that give you some sort of power, to you know move the masses?Even if that's true...why would you want to?
Well I in particular don't really care that much, but I suppose with a horde of mindless zombies you could accomplish something great... or terrible.

Nice. Naked L7 is a post I can get behind =D

I seem to recall not to long ago, when a certain Puffin disliked something I posted to fb, several others enjoyed it and re-posted to their fb walls. Said Puffin felt compelled to visit each of our walls and reply with the same snarky comments and on my own wall reduced to very trollish baiting in some juvenile debate attempt to pull a 'gotcha' on me.
So, go on. Call others trolls. Be all indignant and hurt, if you must. But KNOW this, as frustrated as some of us are with your hostility, the general consensus in the 'other venue' is one of concern for you. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Good evening, Sir. Allow me to introduce myself: I am Sir Spitsalot, Paladin-at-Law, duly appointed legal representative of those members of the Heart Beat Challenged (hereafter called the Plaintiffs), you so despicably referred to as "mindless zombies". On behlaf of my clients, I hereby name you as Defendant in this cease and desist order regarding the impuning of the Plaintiffs intellectual capacities. Hatred of those who are different is no laughing matter, good sir. My clients were deeply offended by your callous attack, yet wish nothing more than for you to refrain from further insulting comments. Thank you and good night.
Sincerely,
Sir Spitsalot, Paladin-at-Law
As an aside, please be aware that I talked the Plaintiffs out of convening a trial so they could find you guilty and eat you.

Does having a high post count give you some sort of cred?
In all seriousness, naah, post count don't really mean a damn thing.
There is a story though....

There are two in particular who I would point out, but their names are going to remain out of this subject for the time being. I don't wish to call them out.
So, be butt hurt. Rant on Puffin in your secret club house where you badmouth so many others behind their backs, where you can act like bullies and avoid any real confrontation. Then come back and read what I wrote and then prove me wrong. In fact, I encourage you to do...
If there are are two people, and you "know they are going to be insulted by what [you] posted," I'm not sure what you've accomplished by posting this here. Try personal communication. Putting it here makes it seem like you really want to do more than deal with problems you have with two posters. It seems more like implying that other people over here need to be painted with the same brush. This impression is strengthened by your reference to a secret club house. So, if you were wanting to make more than two people unhappy with this post, I'd say mission accomplished.
Also, you didn't post that they seem to you to be acting x, y, and z, but that they ARE x, y, and z. Not a promising direction for anything positive coming out of this.

There are people in this world that are going to think different, act different and flat out BE different from you. It doesn't mean that they are bad or need to be "pooped" on elsewhere.
If all you are going to do is surround yourself with like minded people, you will learn jack in this life. Life is meant to be experienced with people who are different. You know EVERY person on paizo comes from a different background and experiences, and when something inflammatory is posted here or elsewhere, what do you expect? Everybody to agree? Ain't gonna happen.
I happen to be very good friends with people whose politics differ from mine and it hasn't affected our relationship one bit. STOP HAVING SUCH THIN SKIN. You see something you don't like, don't post under it. The PMG made this wonderful thread delete option and I suggest that it get used more.
This isn't one of those "wah wah wah, I'm leaving and taking my ball with me" posts, but I think I'm really done here. You all take care of yourselves and remember to love.
Does having a high post count give you some sort of cred?Only among idiots.
Jealousy is so unbecoming...although that it is green is a common misconception.

Yeah I know. :D It was honestly a sarcastic remark. I do know that on some forums you need a certain post count in order to access some threads or gain certain privileges. I think such a policy is just dumb and leads to spam posts.
Spam? You mean posts about spiced ham in a can?
Spiced pork is delicious by the way.
Hey! They told me there was free beer if your post count was high! /shakes fist
Spam? You mean posts about spiced ham in a can?
I got all your spam right here!!!
The problem with e-peens is you can't do anything with them but show 'em off. :/Jealousy is so unbecoming...although that it is green is a common misconception.Does having a high post count give you some sort of cred?Only among idiots.
Oh, okay. Doesn't sound like anything I need to worry about, then.
Spam and beer. Geez, I'm hungry now.
Sometimes, when you're funny, it's hard waiting on other people.

Argh! RAIN! Enough already La Niña, you heartless b&@&@!
Oh god yes.
I managed to get to work generally dry, unscathed and on time today. One of my colleagues (who normally has a half hour drive in) was in the car for two and a half hours thanks to flooding road closures and traffic lights out. Another colleague waited at the bus stop for two hours in the rain without seeing a bus (buses are scheduled to come every 10 – 15 minutes during peak hour for that trip) before giving up and getting a taxi. Another gave up on coming to work all together since his street is flooded.
Well, I am completely lost with all this trolling talk. Obviously I need to get out more ... or maybe it’s best that I don’t.
Peace all.
Ignorance is bliss.
I'm kinda 3/4 ignorant because all this s@$~ happens when I'm at work usually.I'll leave it at that.

Huzzah! The adventure I've been working on for years (and once again am thanks to the eventually to be impending PaizoCon) has cleared another hurdle! I've actually written stats up for an NPC! And not just any NPC, but the BBEG!
With luck, I'll get to run it for some of you FAWTLY Folk in person!
WooT! I haz vacuum!
No more sweeping the floors with a broom!

I'm hoping it holds off long enough (and dries out a little bit) for our cricket semi-final on Saturday. It's the big Kissing Point vs. Normanhurst-Warrawee D-grade showdown the fans have been waiting for.
Cricket? Finally, some atmosphere around here. I don't even know which Anglophilic alias to use in response to this!
I thought brooms were for riding?
Unbates and envenoms breath.

Cricketing phrases which receive mixed responses from non-Commonwealth citizens;
- Notes about which way my balls are swinging.
- Getting one "up in the blockhole".
- Having a slash outside off stump.
- Cracking one through the covers.
- Coming down the wicket.
- Bowling a maiden over.
- Batting all day.
Unbates and envenoms breath.Ow.
That stings.
I still haven't found the perfect avatar for Kasil Wrathbone. He's an homage to two or three people. :-)

You've just given "sticky wicket" a whole new slant.

It's been a long time since I've come back to fawtl, but I feel that I have to today because of some things I've seen that certain posters who frequent this part of the board don't seem to realize they do. There are two in particular who I would point out, but their names are going to remain out of this subject for the time being. I don't wish to call them out.
That said, these folks in question are trolls. They're trolls, plain and simple. They see an argument and then troll those who disagree with them. If you argue for a point that they disagree with, instead of telling you that they disagree and giving a reason why they instead jump to sensationalistic bashing of that person, using an ad hominem approach. If not that, then they attempt to pervert the nature of the thread by making it too hard to join into any given discussion on the topic.
In other venues besides Paizo, these folks regularly respond to incendiary topics and then troll those who would try to disagree with the sentiment. Their uncivil tones are disrespectful, hurtful, and are appallingly distasteful. It's amazing to me that they have the audacity to accuse anyone else of being trolls.
This is not a rant, I just want to point out to these folks that they're unwelcoming, unkind, and being hypocrites. While it is in their rights to say such things, it's also in my rights to avoid seeing it. I've blocked them on another venue so I don't have to see their responses any longer.
I would hope, though, that they'd learn. I know they're going to be insulted that I post this, but I do hope they think about what they're saying or what they're doing in the future. I want to like these people, and I want to call them friends but they make it very hard to do so.
So, be butt hurt. Rant on Puffin in your secret club house where you badmouth so many others behind their backs, where you can act like bullies and avoid any real confrontation. Then come back and read what I wrote and then prove me wrong. In fact, I encourage you to do...
I don't know where to begin, and I don't know how exactly to put together the words.
I'm just so f%$#ing pissed off at this post right now I just better shut my yap and take a drive. This isn't the first time, either, but there it is.That is all.
Two more bills to pay this month, then I can stash back the next three paychecks. I love a month with five paydays
