OK, everyone, games over now....

[Palidors]

Ok, You all can stop griping about my oddball posts now, intelligent people stop ok?--Geez. WEll, for now, i will try to post more enlightening topics. Sorry all You people with such low self esteem that you have to pick on someone to boost your personal confidence and to look cool, as for your posts, I FIND THEM ALL dull boring and insidious retardations of what a "Good Post" should be. YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK IF YOU ASK ME!!

[ChrisCTP]

We didn't pick on you because we have low self esteem. We did it because we're incredible snobs. You'll notice that the Straight Dope motto is "Fighting Ignorance Since 1973." People like you are the reason "it's taking longer than we thought."

[andros]

Well, shit. I wasn't going to respond. But you broke the ice, Chris.

Palidoormat: Boo-fuckin-hoo. I'm crushed. Such a powerful statement about my self-esteem makes me sure you were only kidding about the "Oracle" shit. You're actually a practicing psychiatrist, right?

Jee-zus, boy. You want attention, sure. But if you're going to try to insult people, learn how to do it right. You're not pissing people off, you're just annoying the fuck out of them.

[Byzantine]

Palidors spewed the following diarrhea: Ok, You all can stop griping about my oddball posts now, intelligent people stop ok?

So, you just want the other moron trolls to respond? Seems to me you are afraid of posters with more than two brain cells to rub together, which is one more than you have. I can understand why you don't want us to bother you. It hurts, doesn't it? Try hard to follow me here, honey.

You then farted: Geez. WEll, for now, i will try to post more enlightening topics.

Let's start by fixing that sentence. It should be: Well, for now, I will try to post more enlightening topics. Might I suggest one where we discuss what uses your one remaining brain cell has? For instance; we could use it to briefly flicker an LED and then go home for a BBQ.

You then let out a big load with: Sorry all You people with such low self esteem that you have to pick on someone to boost your personal confidence and to look cool,

Another sentence I must fix before I can respond. It should be: I'm sorry all you people, with such low self-esteem, feel the need to pick on someone to boost your personal confidence and to look cool.

Did I fix that to boost myself? No, I fixed it to show what an idiot you are and how easy it is to make your rambling coherent. To look cool? Maybe, we'll see.

You then went on with another load of hot air: as for your posts, I FIND THEM ALL dull boring and insidious retardations of what a "Good Post" should be. YOU HAVE NO ROOM TO TALK IF YOU ASK ME!!

Okay, rather than fix that I'll let it stand except to point out that "insidious retardations" isn't a phrase. Insidious means "designed to entrap; full of wiles. Causing harm" which would have made a very interesting statement about our posts. But then you added "retardations" which means "to hinder the advance or course of; impede; delay" so you are saying that our posts are "causing harm and hinder the advance" of what a "good post" should be. Which, doesn't add up to much. It makes somewhat more sense after I have broken it down but still doesn't add up to much coming from you. I sincerely doubt you knew the meanings of those two words until I spelled them out for you.

I am compelled to ask if the aforementioned is true, then why did you post? If we have no room to talk then why are you bothering to talk to us? If you can post a meaningful topic then, please, do. I know it will take all your skill to do it but I can believe. There is such a thing as an idiot savant. So far, you are just an idiot.

[Czarcasm]

Byzy, wouldn't his amazing skill at being an idiot make him an idiot savant? :)

[ChiefScott]

Sly, you've posed a conundrum.

You don't have to try to make stupid posts. In fact, I've found most stupid posts are stupid posts due to simple lack of effort.

Idiot savant? I should think not.

Dunce? Arguably.

Troll? Assuredly.

[Czarcasm]

*sigh*
I'm slythe, not Sly.
If you don't get it right, I'll start flirting with you, just to see what kind of havok ensues in your household. ;)

[Mojo]

Sorry all You people with such low self esteem that you have to pick on someone to boost your personal confidence and to look cool

Chief Scott is back! All right!

Oh, boy, another one! Let the flaming commence! Boy, Palisnore, I'm sorry for being such an insufferable snob! Just because I have mastered the art of the "Shift" and "Delete" keys (you know, the "Delete" key? So you can undo all those silly typos and don't have to post them, making you look like a fifth-grade dropout?), does not give me any right to make fun of your incoprehensible screen-drool. You know, I wouldn't blame you for being a fifth-grade dropout, having to suck the teacher off to pass your spelling tests would probably put me off education, too. Of course, you probably would have done better is you hadn't excused yourself to go to the bathroom during school so much, the stuff written on the bathroom walls is not exactly the cream of the literary crop, you know, and not an example to be followed. But there you were, consigning to the toilet what you would later be dumping on this board, and not learning the basic communication skills that would at least keep the ridicule to a minimum, and that's why the teacher had such a spring in her step at the end of the day. Therefore, I hereby bestow the Harris-Klebold Achievement in Education award to: Palibore!

[kellibelli]

Congrats to you!

[WallyM7]

Palidors,

What is the matter with you, anyway?

Most people in your circumstances would sign off, buy a dictionary, take a typing course, finish grade school, come back and lurk for 11 years, and THEN make a tentative post like, "What's better, Burger King or Wendy's?"

But noooo....

Most trolls become tiresome after a while, but you....

Words fail me.

Ooh! Ooh! I saw him first!

Now then... palidors...

As has already been established, you are of no use in this forum. In fact, with the exception of maybe cow tipping or dumpster diving, I can't fathom what use you might have, what with the valuable oxygen you intake, which could be pout to better use... Say, feeding a fire in an orphanage. Yes, even parentless kids frying would be a better use of air than your breath!

In any event, your posts are infantile, juvenile, and overly hostile. Your presence in this forum just lowered the collective IQ of its inhabitants by a full third.

I would sic my dog on you, palidors, but my dog doesn't mess with shit like so other dogs. Which means, in fact, that my dog is smarter than you are as well!

You are nothing but a flaming duckweed, palidors, and, and I shan't waste another breath on you.

Turn off your Web TV, leave your trailer, go back to your job at 7-11 (though I hear your nickname of "Slurpee" came before this job... I wonder why?), and never darken the door of this fine message board again. Lest I REALLY have to get medieval on your ass...

Well, *someone* has to ask.....

So slythe, which is which? Are you the smart one or the cute one? ;)

I think someone needs to take his medication. You seem to believe you actually aren't a psychotic insane troll. Go back to your padded cell. Does the hospital staff know you're trying to communicate with sane people?

[TVeblen]

The problem wasn't the intelligence of the questions you asked, or the self esteem of the people who "live" here.

The problem was that you walked into a party and immediatly challenged those present with a series of pointless tests, to see if the party was worthy of your participation.

Unfortunately, as the world has many intelligent, and well mannered, people, the questions you raised had been answered before. Your unjustified rudeness and presumption offended people. I am suprised that you can not recognize the effect your lack of insight caused.

If you walk into any group of people, in person or online, and attempt to make them pass tests of your devising before you will grace them with your presence, don't be suprised if they somehow pass up the treat.

If you made a blooper, the answer is a civil apology. I made a bad joke which offended people, but it is amazing how generously everyone accepted the apology and gave me a second chance. I suggest you try the same.

If you want to join a community of intelligent people, it is a grave error to patronize them or underestimate that intelligence. They do not have to prove themselves to you; you, by your own contributions, have to prove yourself to THEM.

Until you can match the company, I suggest you do all involved a favor and seek out another venue more suited to your capabilities.

Veb, hope you like Field and Stream and Gentleman's Quarterly.

[TVeblen]

MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS!!?!

Sheesh, you guys are hardasses.

Well, if it's just GQ and Field and Stream I guess I can live with it. Given this group I would expect something like "Embalming Today" or "Journal of Proctology".

[Pickman's Model]

Palidors and Kilroy:

Gentlemen, you are both severely mistaken on two extremely pertinent points. Point number one is your assumption that the people who frequent this forum are deserving of the hyperbolic vituperation you have so freely distributed over the course of your last few posts. In this, you are both very much incorrect. The people who post on these boards are highly intelligent, very well educated, informed, tolerant, friendly, and decent people. They in no way deserve either the treatment or the names you have bestowed upon them.
Point number two is your assumption that simply because you post a message on this forum, you are automatically deserving of the respect of all other participants. By absolutely no means. Should your posts exhibit signs of being well-discerned, balanced, thought-provoking, relevant, and above all, respectful of others, you will be listened to and not flamed. However, should your posts display the arrogance, condescention, petulance, and adolescent infantilism of your most current efforts, do not expect to be taken seriously. Bear this thought uppermost in your minds, and meditate upon it prodigiously: gentlemen, respect from the people who use these boards is not an entitlement. Respect from the people who use these boards is something you must earn.

[Lynn Bodoni]

Ummmmm, well, it's not just magazine subscriptions. When you get your catalog from "Luv Ewe Tender" (inflatable plastic love sheep), you'll know I was thinking of you.

Hey Trolls!

That whooshing sound you just heard was Pickmans post going over your heads!


And guys...we want you to know that we have no problem accepting homosexuals into the group........But we do prefer homosexuals who can read.

***Ho- mo- sex- u- al***...it means gay, or queer. As in 2 boys who like each other in a sex way.
( I am trying to use small words they will understand)

[ChiefScott]

Uh, oh, kelli --

Sqrlcub's gonna be gunnin' for you now.

[kellibelli]

Why? Is Sqrlcub gay?
Or maybe a homophobe?

I really dont care if a poster is gay or not! Quadell was one of the posters here who most impressed me, and inspired me to post.

I love gay people! I am not trying to be a smartass either, I really do! Some of my closest friends are bisexual. MAN! Can they tell stories... ;)

[Atrael]

Ya know Palidors, you're really not very bright. When you first posted, everyone jumped on you 'cause you were just annoying. But then we started talking about it in this post, http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000223.html

and decided that it was a bit harsh. That maybe you meant well, but didn't know the rules....hell, I even agreed with that. But then you go and create this thread. If you had been paying attention, you should have realized that most posters here were giving you another chance...and what do you do?..Whine...which is just not allowed.

If you want to be a regular here, and have people listen to your opinions, or help out with a serious question, then you have to be able to take the criticism as well as the praise. Without tucking your tail between your legs, pouting in a corner, and stating that from your lofty pinicle of ...what, 14 years?...you don't think our posts are interesting.

Oh, and let's not forget your "buddy" Mister_RogersAWC
That just posted the enlightened question about all the words that end in -a.
Do you two get together and try and find ways to demonstrate your stupidity?

I earnestly recomend that you both sit back, lurk awhile longer, and when you do rejoin us, keep your smart-ass teenage comments in check. You both have the potential to fit in, if you think about what you're doing before you post.

And while I'm at it. Kilroy, you're immaturity speaks for itself. As does your spelling, grammer, and lack of vocabulary demonstrated by your inability to use anything other than foul language. I'm not sure which of the annoying trolls you are (under a different name) but it really doesn't matter. You're ignorance shines through whatever screen name you choose to reveal you for the complete and utter moron you are.

[kellibelli]

Oh gosh!

Did you all hear that?
Kilroy is really the FUcking idiot...

*sob*

But I love Kilroy, and I hate that other guy...*wipes eyes*...how will I go on knowing I hate the one I love?

Oh sorrow! Oh the pain!

[Mullinator]

Having recently joined the fun and frivolity of the SDMB, I have to say that sitting back and watching Kilroy and Palidors succeed in looking less intelligent than small woodland creatures is kind of fun. I only ask that you two quit sending your incessant and nonsensical ramblings. Do something slightly more valuable with your time.....inhaling more paint fumes, sitting alone in a dark room, and realizing that the shining moments of your lives are probably past and weren't that great to begin with.
