You know what? manhattan made an ill advised comment.

Wow. Never saw that in the pit before.

Let's have a sense of proportion here. This forum is not for the faint hearted, and if you frequent it, fine. But prepare yourself for a kick in the nuts if you exasperate too many people. There's no shortage of people who will be happy to oblige.

manhattan's post was not the first or the worst in this precinct. I've seen some stuff here that would curl a jackhandle. Don't ask me for cites. Do your own searches.

Lib, I've read quite a few of your posts here. You strike me as an intelligent man with opinions on a wide variety of topics. Some of them are even right.

But your "voice of reason" shtick is becoming tiresome.

You weren't elected to that position. You're self-appointed. And if you were elected, I'd still challenge you because I wouldn't have voted for you in the first place.

Stop already. Maybe this board doesn't need fixing. Maybe it suits most of us just fine.

Maybe you should make a list, like Fenris did, and go on to other things.

Or maybe you should start your own board and give us the link, so that we can marvel at the perfection of your creation.

Jeezus H. Murphy. Is there no end to these whiners?

Read the phucking FAQs, Clare!

Even I understood them. There's hardly any big words at all.

And if you're not happy with the fascist, communist, goose stepping, tyrannical, power tripping, Anti-Christ moderators, you're free to phuck off.

Hope you had a nice weekend.

Get lost, asshole. Where do you get off criticising an entire community?


Stick around for a while. Post. Read. Interact. Get to know some of the people in here. Then if the spirit moves you, tell us what bothers you about this place.

Of course, there's always the danger that if you do stick around, you may find that this place is not so bad after all.

Shmuck.

An absolutely beautiful post, Fenris.

It should go on the front page, or at least Threadspotting.
Quote:
I can't help but notice that there seems to be a sense of ownership towards this board by some of the members here.

I can't relate to that, because I've always considered myself a guest.

If I throw a party in my house and ask someone to leave, am I obligated to inform everyone at the party? Must I give a reason?

If I make a habit out of throwing people out arbitrarily, pretty soon, people will stop coming.

Is that the case here? Obviously not. The board is constantly growing. You would think that this alone would suggest something to the malcontents.

But it doesn't.

I can set my watch to the next "what's with the mods here" thread.
Quote:
Please explain why they must explain.

I'm really curious why people think an explanation is required.

I don't question
it because it's none of my fucking business.

It's not my board. They didn't charge me to register. I don't have to pay to post. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes. I don't want to know what goes on behind the scenes. Because it's none of my fucking business.

I really don't understand why some people have a problem understanding this simple concept.

Fuck. Even I understand it.

You know, after reading these posts I stop and wonder how Slip, a cop, could have so much free time on his hands, and then it hits ya.

Lets see.....372 posts....joined 6-26-01....has only started eight (8!) new threads (five of which are in Mundane POINTLESS Stuff, two (tests no less) in ATMB and one in the Pit)..thats only (..Buddhadog gets out pencil...) 2.15053% time spent on original thinking and constructing-Bah, it doesnt really matter. However, what really makes me wonder is not how he finds the time but more importantly, how can he see his monitor with his nose so far up everyones collective ass!!!

Man, and I thought our cops had it rough!

OMG! I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN!

Common sense in every one of those posts. How dare he.

Maybe, as a cop, when he sees people bitching about those with the responsibility of 'policing' the board he gets a little tired of the same old schtick. Ya think?

Who exactly is he supposed to be sucking up to? The mods, or "the clique"? Isn't Libertarian part of "the clique"? Is Fenris part of "the clique"?

Sorry, I got lost somewhere in there.

I've started ZERO threads. So?

Yeah, so I like the guy.

Buddha - You're kidding right?

I have nothig against Slip except that he roots for those godless Leafs and as far as I can see, his nose isn't up my ass.

He's got that distinctive Canadian posting style too.

So despite his choice of teams, I like him and if Leafs fans and Habs fans can get along there's hope for us all.

Ultress - I care and more importantly...how the hell are you?

And the first sign you've made it on the SDMB is...

You get your first Pit thread ! Congratulation Slip even if you're a Torontonian

Really, I like the guy too, he's witty, funny and he makes sense. Also, he has a low threshold for bullshit, if that makes him a sycophant, then we nedd more like him.

ultress, the OP target is Slip Mahoney.

P.S.

Slip is going to be pleased, it looks like he's got his very own appreciation thread right here in the Pit.

He's such a whore for attention.

Damn, I thought this one was going to be me. Hell, half my posts are just me saying 'God damn, that was funny. I love this guy/gal' or somesuch.

Slip beats me, eh? Well, we're both T'ronntonians, and Leafs fans, so I can accept the defeat. I'll buy you a beer sometime, Slip. Congrats.

Fucking weirdo Easterners. Liking the Leafs and shit.

If I wasn't so busy kicking Mnementh in the nads, I'd do Slip. What's the problem, BuddhaDog? There are a lot of prolific posters here who don't start threads. Whether someone posts in GD or MPSIMS should not be any of your concern. If you have a problem with his posts, don't read them.

We are supposed to be a community. In every community there are people you don't like and/or appreciate but come on, don't go spouting off like that.

I loves me some Slip. Even though he is a godless Leafs fan.

Just a quick question:

If we kiss Slip's ass in this thread, will the thread evaporate in a puff of logic?

I have read some of Slip's posts, and I don't see the Kiss-Ass you see there. I mean, if the guy likes the way things are run here, he's allowed to say so. I don't think only people who voice dissenting opinions should be allowed a voice.

Point of fact

We all know that Canada, like OZ, and the female clitoris, is a myth, a magical mysterious place with no Movie Industry but all the bacon you can eat. These "snowbacks" take a beautiful game like Lacrosse and start playing on ice, only now it is called Hauq-éé. But like all good Americans, we take a foreign product and make it better, so all real hockey fans shall now root for the Bruins or the Hawks. Hockey should never, ever, be played in places like Nashville, Carolina, Atlanta, TampaB- hell- The entire Eastern Conference/Southeast Division and the Western Conference/Pac Division.

Now back to the topic.

Its the way Slip can not put together a paragraph. All flare and no substance.

Whats with the spacing between each sentence? Harumph! Isn't this illegal on some MB's? (If not- it damn well should be).

And what he said about "setting his watch to the next what's with the mods here" thread is completely ironic.

On every single one of those threads we have Slip throwing his .02¢ around.

Slip says "There are assholes, and there are assholes. This guy is both." WOW! (He's probalby referring to me, there) Talk about your understanding of Confucianism!

Just a quick open question to the rest of the SDMB community here: Who's been assigned to post the completely illogical, unsolicited, trollish critique of my posting history? Because I'd love to see a bunch of my posts quoted with absolutely no context given, general assumptions made about my professional habits, and have someone pick a fight with me without giving any specifics whatsoever. And as a bonus, I'd love to see it done in such an ugly coded manner and with as many grammatical mistakes made as possible.

But, as BuddhaDog so elequently puts it, "Bah, it doesnt really matter."

Ten bucks says I have an even lower percentage. So you believe that the only way a person can have "original thinking and constructing" is by starting new threads? Fuck off, toilet trout, you know not of what you speak. I can go find a shitload of threads that are hardly examples of "original thinking and constructing". And I can go find a shitload of posts that were NOT the OP to a thread that are excellent examples of "original thinking and constructing".

Let's take a look at your OP, for example. It's the standard "you're a suck-up!" insult that's been hurled around since grade school. The vast majority of it consists of words that someone else said. Of the words that are original, the primary point is fatally flawed. Ergo, you are, without a doubt, wronger than the wrongest wrongdoer that has ever wronged.

Add me to the list of Slip admirers. I have gazed on him from afar, and bowed down at his brilliance, and wiped the drool from my chin... o.k, that's probably enough.

Oh, and yeah, I second everything Munch said about quoting the legend out of context... then again, even out of context, I was agreeing with him !

Which is exactly what everyone does in every thread they post to...

I like Slip. I like that he is the voice of common sense - at least, that's how I've identified him for the past few months, anyway. He's smart, and I like what he has to say. When I spot his name, I look forward to reading what he has to say.

Maybe you should clarify so we don't make the mistake of stepping on your toes again: defending the Mods is uncool? It makes you a kiss-ass? A suck-up? Does he have a little something brown on his nose? I bet Slip wears really out-of-style shoes, too, and I bet he doesn't wear his hair in the really cool new style, either.

I'm sorry, what grade are we in again? I must be mistaken, I was sure I graduated high school a few years ago.

Now, BuddhaDog, I'm not going to tell you my opinion of you, based on what I've seen on these Boards, because I highly doubt you care. Do you? Why do you think Slip cares what you think of him?

Maybe I haven't read enough BuddhaDog? I find this thread hilarious. Then again that may be because I seem to have taken it in a totally different context. Again, this may be due to my lack of familiarity with the author. I'll have to read a bit more of his stuff.

I saw this thread as: "Who'll step up and kiss slip's ass the most (by defending him)?"

At least it makes more sense and is a heck of a lot funnier this way.

This bugs me too. I'll be reading along and WHOOSH!! there goes a flare! WHOOSH! Another one -- dang, that one almost took my ear off!

I like to use the occasional flare myself -- y'know, to illuminate a landing strip, or signal for help from sea, or even to highlight a particularly brilliant post, but if SLIP keeps using so many, somebody's gonna lose an eye.

"Hi. What's the capital of Nepal?"

"The capital of Nepal is Kathmandu. I had a friend who went hiking in Nepal, and he was bitten by the rare Horned Nepalese Spitting Viper, and they had to fly the antidote in by helicopter. He almost died!"

I also have to say that suggesting that someone use an Internet search engine as a good way to just get the facts and avoid B.S. and anecdotal evidence is about like saying someone who is terrified of heights should go hiking in Nepal for a nice restful vacation.

There's nothing wrong with having a little width in the trouser leg, nor is it my fault I can't dance too well. At least I'm enthusiastic.

Now, if you'll all excuse me, I need to comb my sideburns.

I loves me some Slip. Even though he is a godless Leafs fan.
Reading this as I listen to the TV... "another Leafs win, this one 4-2 over Washington."

Five posts in POINTLESS stuff? 1.3% of his total. What does BuddhaDog have? Just a mere two posts putting him at..what's this? 1.5%? And of course notice that BuddhaDog spent about 9% of his time asking questions in GQ and IMO (7 of the 10 IMO's were questions), rather than using books or Google. And of course there's 3% bitching.

Numbers can be almost as much fun as flares

Well, if that's going to be our criteria, the first to go should be that bastard tomndebb. As far as I've ever seen, he's started fewer than five threads in over 5000 posts, for a percentage of .1%. Surely that man must never have had an original thought.

Ten bucks says I have an even lower percentage. So you believe that the only way a person can have "original thinking and constructing" is by starting new threads? Fuck off, toilet trout, you know not of what you speak. I can go find a shitload of threads that are hardly examples of "original thinking and constructing".

Let's take a look at your OP, for example. It's the standard "you're a suck-up!" insult that's been hurled around since grade school. The vast majority of it consists of words that someone else said. Of the words that are original, the primary point is fatally flawed.
Wow, Lord Sandpaper of the SDMB almost managed to go an entire day without instigating. Watch how the deft word wizard chastises the OP for name-calling, and then witness his very own suggestion that "toilet trout" fuck off. That's one wicked Mobius strip of Denial and Hypocrisy you're living in there, son.

I guess I'm just a little surprised that you had the nards to attack on your own for once. Usually when Spoofey smells blood, Crunchy and Punha like to jump right on that bandwagon to make it a sweaty and grunting orgy of abuse. Congrats for holding your own, young one. You've taken your first step into a larger world.

Bossk, do you ever say anything that doesn't make you sound like a jackass? I have yet to read a post by you that makes any kind of meaningful contribution to, well, anything. Why are you here?

Jeez...where to start...
When I read the OP I was though it was about me. When I saw Bossk as the last poster I knew it was. But (ha ha), alas, no.
So ass-kissing for Espy for havin' the 'nards' to call that one.
Ass-kissing to MEBuckner for making me spit juice all over my keyboard.
Ass-kissing to Tuba for...no, wait, I've already done that.

I like Slip.
And Manny, I always suspected.....

Wow. He quotes, he scores. Or not, depending.

Points taken off for not linking properly to old posts.
Points taken off for not linking to the guy's profile.
Points taken off for not being vitriolic at all.
Points taken off for not giving us some sort of context in any of those quotes.

OP receives score of . . . -7.3.

This has to be the worst attempt I've ever seen at a flame. You oughta have your keyboard and net access removed for it

And dear little Special K,

Awww, I didn't know ya' cared, ya' big ol' hunk of . . . er . . . biological waste-like substance

Just, you know, leave whenever you want. No reason to make a grand exite out of it. Implode, whatever.

Bossk... I mean, Buddhadog (sorry, you two are so gosh-darn similar, I keep forgetting which of my toys is which!)...

Quote:
I would respond but I think your handle says it all.
Darn straight it does. Among other things, my handle contains the entire content of the Library of Congress, the Encyclopedia Britannica (with a squashed spider on page 321), the works of Shakespeare written backwards in pig's vomit, all volumes of the Adventures of Dick, Jane, and Spot, 73 issues of Spawn, and a "Do not remove" tag from a mattress. My handle has EVERYTHING.

Instigating what? Sex? A car accident? A new sitcom idea? A chili cook-off? A brouhaha of quacking? What, man, what? Learn to speak in complete sentences, man!

Where'd I chastise the Op for name-calling? Hell, when did I EVER chastise anyone for name-calling? I'm the biggest advocate of name-calling on the Boards! Hell, I get pissed off if people don't include, at the very least, a mild "moron" or asymptotic "asshole" in their posts! Where've you been, sir, that you've completely missed the blaringly obvious? Masturbating to pictures of Lucy van Pelt? Snorting ground-up altoids, thinking it was crack? It must've been interesting, old boy, to not know what everyone and his brother knows.

Quote:

Except... it isn't. Denial? I fully admit it. Hypocrisy? I never chastised the man.

What's the matter, old Bossky? Your feelings got hurt since your trolling failed miserably? You wanna extract some sort of revenge? Well, that's all well and good... just come back when you've got some ammo, big guy! I feel for you, man... you're just trying and trying, like the Little Engine that Could, yet you just can't seem to overcome that little hurdle you've got that keeps you from succceeding... stupidity.

Yeah, well, when I was 3, I was surprised to learn that there was no Santa Claus. Learn to read, old boy, you'll find far fewer surprises. May I recommend the phonics game? Being at such a late stage in your life (I'm guessing you just got into your double digits... congratulations! That's a wonderful time to be growing up!), you may need such a program.

Yeah, don't you know? They're my sockpuppets. And so's Techchick. And Slip Mahoney. And Unclebeer. And Waterj2. And Suasponte. In fact, 99% of the membership here consists solely of my sockpuppets. I'm not even human... why, I'm an errant A.I. that's managed to squirm into the Internet. See my webpage? Everything there is a fabrication, digitally created, pixel by pixel. All these posts? I generate them periodically, at random intervals. It's all part of a grand scheme, my Star Wars monikered chum, to make sure that you never learn the truth!

[Tony Curtis]
I LOVE you, Spoofacus.
[/Tony Curtis]

But still, we are really not getting to the heart of your internal problem. I mean, the insanely personally insulting posts at the slightest possible provocation? Gee, Spoofe. You seem a little thin-skinned. You are, after all, the Albert Belle of the SDMB. Talent, yes. But are you loved by anyone? Ummm......

So what the heck is your underlying problem? No prom date in high school? Or even worse, a prom date that just wanted to be friends and went out with you for appearances' sake?

It's obvious that, more than anything, you're motivated by sexual frustration. Anyone who takes second-level psychology classes can figure that out by the underlying messages in your truly 'enlightening' posts.

I don't deny the fact that you want to be the H.L. Mencken of the SDMB. Just don't expect anyone to care. Lord knows I don't.

It's just that someone who has such an undeservedly large ego as yours should have learned to take a wee bit of criticism every now and then.

Oh, well. I'll just wait and watch to see you make yet another ass of yourself in the future.

I'm no Miss Cleo, but I'm thinking near future.

Um, good for them. What does that have to do with anything, most notably me?

Or were you just flinging random words into a random sentence generator, hoping to come up with a scathing insult? I think I've been more insulted by lunch than anything you've managed, O Squicking Experiment Gone Horribly, Horribly Wrong.

I would insult you more, but my finger itches, and it's more important. Plus I'm hungry.

I'd help you out, but it'd just be mindless post-padding.

But seriously, BuddhaDog, what the hell is your point? You link and point to absolutely no thread/post where you have some legitimate beef with Slip, yet you continue to self-destruct (I'd call it a flare, but I think you've sucked all the oxygen out of this thread). You make ridiculous assumptions and generalizations with neither support, purpose or direction. We'd call you a troll, but most trolls are trying to elicit a certain response. Unless your intended response is "huh?", my conclusion is that you're just a moron. But then I'd be insulting morons around the world. So 'fess up. What's your malfunction?

I just finished night watch and thought I'd turn on the computer to mock Feynn's beloved Habs, and I see a pit thread dedicated to little old me. I now consider myself a true Doper. Shame it had to come from such bozo, but I guess it's better than being ignored.

The Dawg had the brass to flame me in MPSIMS a few weeks back, and Coldfire was on him like ugly on an ape. Took him a while to regroup, but here he be.

I suppose I could find a few of BuddhaDog's cutting edge posts and put them up for comedic purposes, but frankly, I don't want to give the shmuck any more attention than necessary.

I'll just sit back and let the mutt cut and paste until he runs out of posts to copy. Good thing I don't have a couple of thousand, or we'd be here until Saturday.

To the rest of you guys, thanks for sticking up for me. If you're ever in Toronto and get a parking ticket, don't come to me. Nothing I can do about it.
