(quoting myself to be able to include the emoji, which doesn’t work for me otherwise.)

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of an incoherent viewpoint must be in want of a messageboard to post it on.

Yep. Works for me. 🦑

So this guy joins a message board. But he’s confused because all that he sees posted are numbers. So he asks and one guy sends him a PM explaining that all of the other posters know all of the regular responses so to stay under the fifty character limit, they just use numbers.

The guy thinks “I can do that.” So he joins in a thread and posts “22.”

And the moderator tells him “We don’t allow that kind of racism and sexism here. You’ve been banned.”
