Anyone else loving Poptech's Hysterical Meltdown?

I didn’t want to interrupt him flailing in these threads:

I love how frantic he’s getting. Does that make me a bad person?

Oooh, me, me.

I particularly loved how he made three or four posts with nothing but a huge wall of repeated, red, point seven-sized font.

I’m thrilled by it.

Absolutely. Thrilled.

What’s hilarious is he thinks he’s won

He’s also banned.

I don’t normally do this, but he was totally TL: DR for me.

Correction, his status is being discussed.

Says the idiot blowing into the wrong end of the kazoo.

Poptech

Which of us in The Pit are mental midgets and which are genetically inferior? I’m thinking we are going to need a poll here.

For the record, the preferred term is “mental little person.”

You are of course correct. I blame it on my genes.

What probably never occured to Poptech is that if the Moderators were really so inclined to be intellectually dishonest, their solution would be simple. They could ban him and then change any words in his posts that they chose to. They could make him apologize to everyone, admit that he is seven years old and a mama’s boy.

But that’s not their style and Poptech loses out again. He would look better if someone would change something anything to make his posts … nevermind. I don’t even care.

By keeping with the times I would had said to PopTech:

Says the idiot blowing into the wrong end of the Vuvuzela. :slight_smile:

Just one note from me here, I did send a warning to the moderators before I even had posted anything in the thread regarding my concern that Poptech was spamming his list to get more traffic and revenue to his site.

Poptech in the end admitted that that was his ultimate purpose all along, the joke is on him as I had already foretold what he was going to do, I only responded to deal with his misinformation, the decision by the moderators to move the thread to the pit was just what I needed to show him the rope that he used to hang himself.

Those threads are 5 pages and 8 pages respectively, can anyone present a condensed version?

Poptech: [2 pages of blather, about 700 links. No thesis.] Right?
Posters: …what?
Poptech: You’re being stupid. Listen. [400 links]
Posters: To… what? What are you even wanting to debate?
Poptech: You can’t confuse me with your strawman! John Kerry is my baby daddy!
Mods: shrug whatever. You seem to be mad about your issue, and not really presenting a topic for coherent debate even though we’ve politely asked for clarification like 50 times. Since this seems like a rant, we’re gonna move it to the pit.
Poptech: DON’T CENSOR ME!!
SDMB: What?
Poptech: Don’t censor me to the pit!
SDMB: Do you mean… “move” you to the pit?
Poptech: I won’t fall for your censorship strawman you midget-minded liberal shills!
SDMB: Wait, we’re confused.
[6 pages of back-and-forth ensue, during which time Poptech presumably gets a shiny nickel every time he says “strawman” or “censor”. The rest of the board relaxes when they figure out he doesn’t know what either word mean, and by page 5 it’s largely shifted from trying to understand what on earth he’s saying to just plain poking fun at him]
Poptech now being largely made fun of: Good thing I won this argument!
SDMB: You didn’t. You’re an asshat.
Poptech: posts the same GIANT RED WALL OF LOBOTOMIZED TEXT like 60 times

crickets
Jack Black: Yea! Woohoo!

Guys like Poptech are the main reason I visit the BBQ Pit. Soap Opera on the Internet. These are the days of our lives on the BBQ Pit. :smiley:

This was the first meltdown I’ve witnessed and my only regret was that I didn’t have popcorn to eat while reading the thread.

What’s “TL: DR”? :slight_smile:

And Poptech didn’t realize that the mods can clean up the thread removing most of the spam he posted and leaving enough for the reading enjoyment of the rest of us.

“Too long, didn’t read”.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Many thanks. That does sound humorous. I’ll check it out later.
