> [@Aeschines](#): > > That Nate Silver is fucking awesome? …I certainly don’t think that Nate Silver is “fucking awesome.” I fucking hate the guy. And I laid out the reasons why in the other thread. But you are wrong on the stats here. Because you “just don’t know enough about statistics.” You aren’t getting dogpiled because you weren’t “really in shape for the debate.” You got dogpiled because you were being an ignorant ass. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > Don’t pity me about yo momma, hon. She ain’t that bad. The first “Yo momma” could be taken as a poor joke. The second one as an inability to walk away when you’ve got nothing to say. The third strays heavily into _unhealthy obsession_ territory. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > Don’t pity me about yo momma, hon. She ain’t that bad. I don’t precisely know why I’m asking this because I’m pretty sure I know what your response is going to be (see spoiler below), but I do wonder what you hope to achieve by repeating this phrase “Yo momma”. I don’t find it particularly insulting, or even annoying for that matter, so its not really even good trolling. It isn’t going to rally people to your side, or convince them that you are a witty and clever individual because its is anything but witty and clever. Nor does it express to them a strong emotion that you are feeling. All it does is make you look dumb and immature. I don’t see any reason why someone would want people on a message board to think of them that way so I can’t understand why someone would chose to do this. If you can articulate a response I would appreciate it from anthropological point of view. Predicted Response: Yo Momma ---

I blame Asimov. IKR. And I even like your user name! **Stranger\_On\_ A\_Train** has noir appeal as well. But having to append “Stranger” to every post at the end is very obsessive, IMO. Also, people with Asperger’s and trains are like… a thing, right? LOL. ---

> [@Aeschines](#): > > Also, people with Asperger’s and trains are like… a thing, right? LOL. Slinging stupid insults and ‘Yo Mamma’ jokes is all well and good for a brainless prat such as yourself, but your contempt toward people with Asperger’s or on the autistic spectrum demonstrated what an absolute shit-stained fuckstick you are.
