Aceplace is a fucking twit.
Notice I said “twit.” That’s t-w-i-t.
DigitalC is also drinking from aceplace’s Kool-Aid. Either that, or he’s trolling for shits n’ giggles.
Here’s my question… in this history of ever, has he even once come down on the sane, logical, rational side of one of the idiot ‘news’ items he’s posted? Or is it always that he gets the wrong takeaway from things? I swear, how can someone be that consistently wrong?
I dunno, I could probably manage to be wrong about all kinds of stuff if I lived in a world where I never cared to read beyond the headline or the first three Google results my paranoid searching turned up.
OMG, flying these days is awful!
They might be dangerous convicted felons, but they were sure determined!
Why would anyone expect me to know that LA and San Francisco are far apart?
Who knew audacity was a word, apart from hoity-toity college professors?
I heard tons of people just throw change outside drive-throughs!
Why hasn’t anyone cured the flu yet???
How is it possible for a woman with a one-year-old not to spurt milk everywhere??? Also, titties!
Why don’t Muslims speak out against terrorism? Aside from the ones that do, they don’t count.
LED lights are scary!!! Wait, what do you mean, they’re already all over???
Back away from the Daily Mail, Yahoo, and NY Daily News, and stop starting 500 new threads every six months
Now he is rambling on about showing Lotus software to random people at the airport. WTF. I’m starting to think he may be a little unbalanced. Like Rain Man. Just without the brilliant part.
I’m starting to wonder if he’s just deliberately trolling.
Heh, apollonia, that’s pretty apt. Dude has absolutely zilch ability for discernment and even less aptitude for being able to form cohesive conclusions. Sure, there’s LA and San Fran, maybe I could figure the mileage and decide on whether its reallllllly far apart or not. But who does that?? I mean, only rocket scientist take all those extra complicated steps. Us mere mortals can’t be expected to know such things or search out difficult answers by, I dunno, that Googly thing!
And I understand that the guest of honor graced this thread at least once, but what’s with all the pitees lately who can’t even be arsed to truly show up? Like, did Linus ever put in an appearance after all?
No, Linus did not! Rat fink. :mad:
If there was ever anytime you wanted to reach through the computer and slap someone, this is one of those times. (Note: mods, I am not actually threatening to slap aceplace. I’m using it as an expression)
Don’t worry - if you ever figure out how to actually slap someone through the internet, your banning will be quickly followed by your Nobel Prize.
Since when has that been an obligation?
I’ve re-read my post a couple of times and don’t see anywhere I used the word obligation. Can you point it out? 
And actually, that was just an observation, since it apparently wasn’t clear. Because I find it interesting that these kind of folks (ace, Linus, the rednecked one) can go around spouting ridiculous bullshit all over the boards where no one can truly respond as they wish, yet once taken to task and afforded the ability to really go balls to the wall with their, um, interesting views on things, they’re a no-show. Leads one to believe the reason might be because they’d rather go unchecked than to actually have that nonsense exposed and face the consequences of their words.
Certainly not an obligation, but if I’m ever pitted, damn straight I’m going to be in there responding.
AcePlace’s latest thread where he is showing his ass is a great example of what faithfool is saying. He posts a few absolutely stooopid things, and then he get’s ripped by other posters. He sits back and waits until another chucklehead pops in to partially agree with him, and, now emboldened, he comes back in and posts a half ass attempt to stick to his guns. If not for DigitalC and a few other Neanderthals popping in, he would have backpedaled all the way to the ocean by now.
I whole-heartedly agree. Being able to vent our spleen about people posting, to paraphrase what someone said, 500 threads every 6 months ripped straight from the headlines of The Daily Mail, is invaluable. On the other hand, it doesn’t seem very efficacious in altering such behavior. Pit threads are too easily ignored by the posters who would most benefit from participation, whose postings we most want to impact. It is a conundrum.
Occasionally threads are moved to the Pit. Maybe we need to get a bit more stroppy on some of these threads and get them moved over…
Yeah, but if you moved aceplace’s latest thread to the Pit, he’d stop showing up in it. Hell, he’s stopped showing up in it already and it’s still in MPSIMS.
Ah, the Broomstick ploy.
She may just drown under all of the money that people throw at her to get one, though.
I just got through that sexting thread. Ugh. Aceplace appears to be the leader of a small but unseemly pack of buttinskis.
I’m afraid to ask, but… sexting thread?
