The first step in perspective-taking is to be able to see yourself. That step appears to be too far. That's fine; I ain't yer therapist. I just broke you down as a free public educational service.Out of curiosity, what was the point of your post, other than to dismiss and deride someone?
So you are saying that is wrong? Considering half your post....sorry...I am just going to let it go.

Except, you posted. So clearly you weren't just letting it go. You stopped just after the point where the implication was dropped. If you had truly meant to "let it go", you wouldn't have posted.
No, what you wanted to do was make the implication that half of my posts are nothing but dismissing or deriding people, but couch that implication in the idea that you're being the better man by not being explicit about it.
A shape emerges from the mist of a skeletal figure in tarnished silver mail of an antique design astride an equally skeletal horse. The 'knight' carries a heavy lance of elm, pitted with wormholes and blotched with fungus.
The knight tugs on rotting leather reins and brings his travesty of mount to a halt. He seems to be considering something, turning his head from left to right, surveying the scene.
Is it time for the smurfening?
You fought in the battle of the plains of Gehenna some five millennia hence, and were vanquished by an alu-fiend squire of an Abyssal lord. Your time of exile is not yet done. The rites deny it.
The bony jaw of the knight clicks, and puffs of something which might be dust emerge. It's possible that had the knight voice, it might be laughing.
And then, meaningfully, it lowers its lance.

Brother smurf!
Just flag it and move on, guys.
Good. Don't start spamming now.
Just flag it and move on, guys.Where will I make silly posts then? It's not like we have a forum for that...
Grow a pair. Makem on facebook, to freak out your mother and IRL coworkers.
Just flag it and move on, guys.
YOU have something against ugly little blue guys in funny hats?
Good. Don't start spamming now.
Hasn't that been the majority of this thread?

Well actually the majority of this thread seems to have been talking about certain adverts (unlikely ever to go away now because of youtube), and people snarking over being insulted about other folk being insulted being insulted by...
Ah. Good point. :DThat's crucial, though. It has to be fought out to the bitter end. As humans, we have to answer these questions.

Douglas Adams already told us the answer to these questions though...
I also think that through the concept of Vogon poetry, he prophesyed the coming of the internet troll.

The only questions that could actually be settled on one side in this thread, however, would be settled through violence.

I was initially taken aback by this idea, but upon reflection I think you make a plausible case. :)
Edit:
Listed for excellence of insight!
What's that maxim...."anything science fiction can imagine will be possible in 40 years?..." something like that....
why did this have to be correct for Vogon poetry?

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a "Judge of teh interwebz" somewhere to look at douchy threads, and say "okay, you lose. Here's why...." so people would stfu? And if you lost in interwebz court, you had to have your fingers sewn together so you couldn't type for a month until the stitching disintegrated.

That would be awesome. People eligible for such a court would have to have special headgear.
Nighty-night, Chuck E 25.
nitey nite, John Boy!
Way to deploy ordinance to the ground, you Vatican Warlock Assassin you.
Damn.....I wish that was made up when they were naming the Magus...

Nope I was going to leave it at I do find your posts worse than that particular post(I pretty much straight implied and that... I was going to imply that you and he can't take the same medicine you guys dish out. But really I had a game to get too...and did not see much point in finishing it...as you will not see it.
The mists swirl once more, and engulf the scene, and the result of the conflict to come is lost from view.
But this is internet - the combat needs to be played out in tedious detail for everyone to see

If it hasn't been tedious enough for you already, I don't know what to say.

Self aggrandizement.
Have you asked yourself that of your various "those jerks" posts?

Yeah, but......where's the self aggrandizement in that?

One of these things used sarcasm to make a point. The other implied that the poster has perspective issues that needed to be therapeutically addressed.
Those jerks.

And to Bugleyman,
I apologize for my rudeness, although I thought it was such a cheesy tactic that I'd end up with more mud on my face than you, so......nonetheless, my feeling right now is that we are one or two millimeters away from a breakthrough with this thread. I think you had eco 1-4, so you must've had a marketing class, right? You can get there. You're smarter than me probably.
I just had a flash of brilliance, but I think everybody has to get there themselves or it's meaningless and it will just be washed away by this constant contest to see whose man organ is the most powerful on the interweb.
AND, Bugleyman,.....you had the same taste of anger in your mouth over the whole......debacle/fiasco/I'm really searching for a more diplomatic term to call this whole 4e thing.

Those jerks.
See? It's right there!!! The whole thing!!! The breakthrough is right here!!!
What is the purpose of marketing even? And how do you achieve that purpose? And how do you totally F~*! IT UP?
Some quotes to describe this thread
"Nay, allow the claim of the dead; stab not the fallen; what prowess is it to slay the slain anew?"
Sophocles' Antigone
"Of the three who had enriched themselves through murders, the first had gone over the whole world, accusing people falsely, and owed ten thousand deaths to both Europe and Asia; so that all who knew the fellow were sorry that it was not possible to slay the slain, and to do so thrice over, and yet oftener."
Libanius' funeral oration for the Emperor Julian
"While snarlers strive with proud but fruitless pain
To wound immortals, or to slay the slain."
Edward Young
"To twice slay the slain,
By dint of the Brain,
Is but labour in vain,
Unproductive of gain,
And so I shall bid you 'Adieu'!"
Thomas Henry Huxley
That dead horse that you guys are flogging... is nothing but a stinking bloodied mess and every body is ankle deep in horse gore.
There are people that will not change their minds and will say black is white and Monday is Tuesday because they are just blind, stubborn or it gives them the little thrills that they get off on.
For the productive and creative of you GET BACK TO WORK and give me more good RPG stuff.
For the others see you next time somebody drags in a horse corpse to flog.
