Wait, I still don’t understand: why did Hamlet quote the entire first post in the second post of the thread?

It would be sorta funny if Dex closed the thread like this:

"Then suddenly everyone in this thread was hit with the ban stick.

THE END."

I thought it was funny, but then I often enjoy a stormy teacup.

Just as well. Jokes aren’t allowed in the Pit. You cause even a crease to form around **Dex** ’s mouth and you’ll be on that official list that gets passed from mod to mod last thing at night.

Actually, it’s just further evidence that what **Snooooopy** really wants is attention. He comes into a thread, pisses in the pool so everyone will notice and think he’s a wit, and when he gets slapped down he comes here and starts another thread bitching about it.

All so everyone will look at him. Or her. Or whichever.

Ok, so snooopy’s post was pretty lame but jesus, look in the mirror you fucking retarded, nerdy dickwads!

“OMG GOD! You _ruined_ our amazing thread! You deserve to die!”

Man, you people are PATHETIC, especially CK. I mean, don’t you have something better to do than bitch someone out for messing up your weak, wannabe-writer thread? Go…fucking…MODERATE something, you tool. And, to the rest of you little bitches, especially the guy who posted, “Don’t do it again, shut up and grow up” or something like that, you guys and your shitty thread can suck some slimy turds out of my ass. Pussies. I mean, COME ON! “Don’t do it again”? That’s worse than an internet fight. What IF he does it again? Are you going to kick his ass? Hack his computer? MAN, you are a fucking moron. Although I’m sure the bond of moronhood is what attracted anyone to post to that thread in the first place. I’m sure that’s what attracted snooopy there anyway.

I thought Snoopy’s post was funny, and it’s a bit silly to say that newcomers wouldn’t be capable of following the thread. And that thread has no link to this “control thread,” so I don’t see why Snoopy would know about it. Us _24_ geeks don’t expect everyone to have read the beginning-of-the-season thread before posting in a weekly thread.

A little MST3King never hurt anyone.

I created the linked thread and had no real problem with **Snoo…opy** ’s post. It’s not like we haven’t [had such things before](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=3367225&postcount=11).

OTOH, **Demo** ’s an ass.

Now, children, be nice. **Demo** is just jealous that he doesn’t have a creative enough mind to participate in the Finish The…threads.

What’s interesting is that you seem to be angrier about this than anyone actually involved in the issue.

So… what does that say about you?
