is bibliophage always rude when a simple mistake is made?

Bindrah · #1 03-12-2003, 08:35 PM

or is bibliopahge just arrogant by nature?

bibliophage · #2 03-12-2003, 08:42 PM

Yes and yes.

You may want to peruse the forum descriptions

No, it's manhattan that's always rude when a simple mistake is made. bibliophage keeps his valium prescription filled.

Morbo · #5 03-12-2003, 08:50 PM

I'm so sorry he closed your General Question entitled anyone like to abuse prescription medicine(painkillers)?

I'm sure had he allowed that General Question to continue, you would have had your answer.

But since he so arrogantly closed it, allow me to answer you here, if I may be so bold as to speak for the general SDMB community:

No.

Fenris · #6 03-12-2003, 08:53 PM

In answer to the OP,

"No."

See, normally he drives to posters houses and cuts off a pinky (using hedge trimmers...dull, rusty hedge-trimmers at that!) for the first infraction and things get progressively worse from there as he cuts off more and more fingers for each subsequent infraction. You don't even want to know what happens when he runs out of digits!

I'd say you got off easy.

Sorry about all the typos. I'm all thumbs.

Truth Seeker · #7 03-12-2003, 08:54 PM

Not really. He's just got a thing about people who post while stoned and don't use capital letters. Arnold is the one you really need to watch out for. He's a killer.

gus28 · #9 03-12-2003, 09:42 PM

Just my 2 cents -

You got off easy. In my opinion there are some posters... ahem.... I mean ex-posters at the SDMB that have done less to have a six letter word under their user name than "member".

Bindrah · #10 03-12-2003, 09:53 PM

what the fuck are you guys talking about? i don't use capital letters because i'm lazy, and i think you can still understand what i type. also, why are the moderators so strict? how did i get off easy and what is the usual punishment? aside from all the make believe fun.

The Mad Hermit · #11 03-12-2003, 10:10 PM

You should read the links to the policies that were posted. That should answer your questions.

(I know, I know, DNFTT)

What I'm curous about... you've been signed up for so long, why don't you know this already?

Caught@Work · #12 03-12-2003, 10:29 PM

Fuck! What is this? Moron month or is spring fever hitting you people over the head with flowers and warm breezes.

The usual punishment for stupidity is many, many pages of ridicule and abuse, so get prepared.

Seriously, I'm a little surprised you didn't get your posting privileges revoked; you started several threads that violated the forum and board rules (you should have known this, but maybe your laziness extends to not observing rules, reading forum descriptions etc), then, when this was pointed out to you, you answered back like a spoilt brat.

Ask yourself why it is you like coming here... if like me it is (largely)the quality of the conversation, realise that control is the cost of that quality.

I see... so you claim you're bright enough to use correct capitalization, but you choose not to because it takes too much effort to hit the SHIFT key? And you thought this would endear you to us how?

Ever heard the Mark Twain quote about "It is better to remain quiet and be thought an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!"?

Anyway, I like your "Appear an idiot to save a second or so", so from now on, I'm going to drop all vwls. Ths s th trnd f th ftr!

"i don't use capital letters because i'm lazy."

Man, someone should save this wisdom and embarass Bindrah (whose capitalized name is too precious) with it when he/she/it grows up.

New thread, what else is Bindrah too lazy to do? I heard he/she/it wipes only after every second bowel movement.

You'll have to excuse me. I've been abusing my prescription pain relievers.

"ASSHAT"? They can put "ASSHAT" under our names?

Dr_Paprika · #23 03-13-2003, 09:41 AM

Please try to include the phrase "jack booted thug" in your next complaint about a moderator. Thanks.

There are fringe benefits, though. With the Extendable Catheter Option^TM on my Tug-Ahoy^TM, I no longer have to get up from my desk to use the bathroom.

Well, since I got reprimanded for doing the ASSHAT stunt, I probably won't change your status. But you can send me chocolate ANYWAY, if you want.

Caught@Work · #36 03-14-2003, 02:58 AM

Where would we send chocolate? It's Godiva isn't it?

Oh, and to the OP, please have enough respect for this message board to use as correct grammar as you can muster, eh? It makes everything here a whole lot nicer that way.

Always end your sentences a preposition with.

Myself, I think that "member" is both subtle and explicit enough a descriptor
