Ah, the joys of dealing with ransomware on the old work computer in China. Yep, yep, .CRAB made its arrival known today when I had to download some files from dropbox. I have never used that service before and, given today’s bit of fun, I seriously doubt I will ever use it again. A word to virus creators: Please kill yourselves. You are of no value to anyone, anything, or any place. ---

But to each his own. I don’t care what songs the OP uses. 1. It’s about the death of three rock stars. It has NOTHING to do with patriotism other than having the word “American” in it. Please try not to be more retarded than you usually are. 2. If you wouldn’t fucking post everything that passes across your alleged to every goddamn thread and you took the time to just post when you can contribute, rather than vomiting everything that you ‘think’ of, you’d get less grief. 3. Please shut the fuck up some. You already have 1/3d my post count and I’ve been here something like 17 years more than you. Ever hear of the Mark Twain adage? The one that goes “Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it”? It applies on message boards too. Just…shut _up_. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I don’t need your permission to post. Don’t read it. He’s trying to tell you that posts like “I agree” make you look like a \*post padding \*noob, and I don’t think that’s what you are or what you want. Just think about that. IIRC, there was a time when post padding got modded, way back when jokes in the pit sent Lynn B. into evil mod mode. Do with this as you please. ---

In addition to letting them know how [del]fucking pissed off[/del] disappointed you are, you might want to think about giving them some online reviews so other people won’t waste their time at this place. this right here ETA: because I’m still pissed on this subject and cannot be distracted by pie, American or otherwise. ---

First, let me offer some standing applause to Fenris for his post about Beckdawrek. > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I don’t need your permission to post. Don’t read it. That’s true. I also don’t need your permission to call you simpleton, a dimwit, an airhead, an imbecile, a blockhead, a cretin, an ignoramus, a dunce, or any of the other phrases that imply that if brains were explosives you couldn’t even blow your own nose. The post padding stupidity that results from your inability to have a single thought without posting it is making this board a dumber, less interesting place. So let me second his request that you just **shut the fuck up**. ---

So let me second his request that you just **shut the fuck up**. Is that the best you can come up with ? Fucking **POST PADDING**? No one gives a tiny shit about post count anymore and it’s certainly not a issue. Of course, if we limited posts to those meaningful, you would be unable to post, eh? Beckdawreks posts have better content that yours or Fenris’s. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I really, really hate people who go around being snotty and hateful for no reason, other than they think they are so smart. You can always Google for answers you need quickly, so why do you insist on asking dumb questions and getting pissed when you get answers. Stupid, stupid. Are you referring to MY thread? Did you actually read it? I explained why I posted the thread instead of Googling. Please explain why you thought it was a “dumb question.” Many people responded with great suggestions and seemed to enjoy the discussion. Please also explain why you think I “got pissed” when I received answers? I did the opposite. I thanked people and told them that I would use their suggestions. I also really appreciated being introduced to some awesome new music and being reminded of some things I had forgotten. Just because you didn’t like how people reacted to your inappropriate suggestion doesn’t mean there was anything wrong with the thread. By the way, when complaining about a thread, it is customary and considerate to include a link.
