Did I ever tell you about the time mswas met Obama?

Actually this is kind of fun. I’m putting the whole idiot posse on ignore. Might as well go for the hat trick and ignore ElvisL1ves.

You are all diseased.

Did someone die in your family or something? Every post in every thread you have posted tonight seems very angry.

I had a temp job where they replaced my soul with George Carlin’s.

Oh.

Then why aren’t you funnier?

Congrats, mswas. I’ve always thought that best way to resolve these conflicts that seem to have gotten personal is to use the ignore list. Life is too short to stay mad at people you don’t really care about anyways.

You’ll find that, if somebody makes an important post, somebody else will quote it, so you won’t have missed out on anything, anyways. And if you strongly suspect that a post might have substance, you can always disable the ignore function for that one post.

I think people around here are just too afraid to use the ignore function. I think that’s why some people just seem so much more hostile on here than in real life. In real life, they would eventually ignore the person who causes them grief. On here, they don’t seem to realize this is an option, or, because of the anonymity and physical safety, actually enjoy pissing people off.

Having said all that,

How can you tell? You thought ***your ***joke was funny!

I don’t know why you are giving this loser the time of day. It’s exactly what he wants.

If this was in front of Sharper Image, that guy collecting dollars doesn’t actually work there.

It’s a foot massager. It’s real. It’s Science!

And it even looks kinda Star Wars-ish.

Well this was a great thread, but seriously if that OP didn’t result in at least an official warning you may as well just do away with the no trolling rule altogether. It just doesn’t get more textbook than that.

You know, as train wrecks go, this ain’t the Montparnasse Station in 1895, but it’s a decent effort at historical recreation.

That’s the bitch of it. His sense of humor went to a two year-old girl in Wilkes-Barre.

Oooh! Oooh! Ignore me too, please.

LOL Good point, and to the other thing too. :wink: I am learning to love the ignore feature.

Who are you that I should put you on ignore?

You and I have different definitions of trolling because to me making fun of people who compare Obama to Hitler on a Liberal message board isn’t trolling. But I guess people here have an inverted logic as their definition of trolling is not the intention of the person they are calling the troll but their own overreaction to it. Who knew that people would get so worked up when I made fun of stupid conservatives?

Now that actually made me chuckle.

You don’t get to have your own definition though, you have to use the same definition as the rest of us.

I’m using the real definition. You’re the one using an idiosyncratic definition.

So lets see, it was controversial and inflammatory to the small minority who were too stupid to get it. Most people just groaned and moved on. It couldn’t be off-topic as it WAS the topic. My primary intent was to invoke an emotional response but that response was chuckling not frothing, and I was not trying for a disciplinary response. And disrupting the normal on-topic conversation is simply not applicable as the post WAS the topic.

I’m using the ACTUAL definition. You’re the one using the definition that says that just because someone was offended that it was my intent to offend.

I truly am sorry that some people are too stupid to realize that Obama is not German and is not trying to cleanse the Fatherland to revivify Germany’s Teutonic heritage, but I cannot be held liable for the inability of morons to parse simple incongruities. Sure the joke wasn’t very funny, but it was hardly trolling to make fun of the conservatives at Town Hall meetings comparing Obama to Hitler. I mean I guess I was trolling people who feel there is a legitimate comparison to be made.

I’m just glad the mods of this forum generally aren’t as stupid as you are. Though I guess in all honesty Twickster was as he got offended by it.

When did the Pit degenerate to kindergarten?

You mean “advance”.
