I’m not quite sure I understand this concept: Posting _often_ makes me a loser, but posting _gratuitously_ doesn’t make you one, **MachineHead**? Oh and your clever parodies of my name are just spectacular. I bow before your superior grasp of the English language. Troglodyte. ---

I doubt that you want to continue to extend your “post count=wisdom” march. At the end, you will find only **handy** ::eek: ---

:rolleyes: I have to say that I’ve not seen any posts by **Q.E.D** that are annoying, but I’ve seen eight by **MachineHead** that are. And since I have brokent the sacred 5000 mark, that apparently will make my every utterance worthy of **MachineHead** ’s respect and obedience. **MachineHead** , button it. You’re giving me a headache. Happy now? ---

Could someone who has a post count under 9000, and thus has a fucking life, explain that post of **MachineHead** ’s to me? Since I have a ppd ratio of roughly five bazillion, obviously I have never read a book, don’t have a life (let alone a _fucking_ life, and boy will my fiancée be surprised about that!) and am utterly devoid of redeeming features other than my ability to type forever about nothing in particular. On a side note, I find it amusing that **MachineHead** is _posting_ about someone else’s (perceived) excess of posting, which … requires that the person in question (QED) post in order to address the issue of excess posting. That’s got to have at least as much logic behind it as new Coke. ---

Okay, I’ve just re-read the entire thread. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve been arguing with a troll. This makes me the idiot. I could continue to do this. For instance, I could explain to the dipstick in question that I understand what sarcasm is, and that he’s not particulary good at expressing it. Or, I could just quit wasting my time in this thread. I love the “Report This Post” feature too. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hey-q-e-d/164926.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hey-q-e-d/164926.md?page=3)
