At least that’s what MC Master of Silly Ceremonies and Tars TarFuckingKas tells me – so I guess it must be true. Well it’s certainly news to me, but hey you have to learn something new every day.
Tars TarFuckingKashere. For having the insolence to claim Ann Coulter doesn’t quite stack up to Hitler in the evil department. MChere. For, oh I don’t know, reading a newspaper or something.
Gee guys! I thought we could have a civil discussion here without being called a Nazi, and like, you know, perhaps even have another point of view than that you two paragons of enlightenment. Well apparently I was wrong. I’m sorry. My bad.
Finally, let me just take this time to express my deepest felt gratitude for pointing out this little fact to me, and perhaps it’s only fair I return the favour by informing you Mr. MC Master of Silly Ceremonies that you are in fact a donkey, and you Mr. Tars TarFuckingKas that you are indeed a garden troll. I pretty sure your garden troll tribe is very proud of your accomplishments.
Given that Tars Tarkas never called you or Ann Coulter a Nazi, would you please explain why on earth you’re continuing to throw that term around like it’s confetti? As opposed to “nutjob,” which he actually did use to describe Coulter, and which also apparently captures you quite well at the same time?
Sniff. Sniff. You know even us evil Nazis have feelings, and can feel a little bit sorry for ourselves now and then. Perhaps all I need is a great big hug. But then I remember it’s times like these you always have to look at the bright side of life.
Ouch! That hurts Minty boy. A nutjob! Damn that’s a mean thing to say. :mad: Already I feel depressed again. Why can’t we all just be friends? Give me a hug there Minty, that’s a good boy.
Oh. Now I get it. The highly regarded Tars the-garden-troll Tarkars naturally just misspelled rollercoaster and bandcamp. Oh. Bugger! Bugger! Does pointing out those faults make me the spelling fascist though?
Wait! I almost forgot to mention! You’re a jellyfish Minty boy! Hah! take that. Also I think I’m going to insult you some more in Danish. “Din lille slambert!” Heh heh heh
It’d have been nice if MC Master of Ceremonies had provided a link to Winston’s alleged fascist statements. Without the context he alluded to, it seems that Winston has a genuine complaint in that thread. He does seem to have gone completely off the rails in regards to Tars Tarkas, though.
Winston, two words of advice. First, the mods frown on using “troll” as an insult. If you really feel Tars is trolling, inform the mods via email or using the “Report this post to a moderator” function. Secondly, if you’re going to make fun of someone’s name, you’re going to have to be a hell of a lot wittier than you seem to be capable of. I was ready to side against you just on the basis of your idiotic MC Master of Silly Ceremonies jab. Just about the lamest insult I’ve ever seen on the boards.
Well naturally I disagree. Let’s see “Miller how’s your holocaust coming along? Are you working on the barbed wire for those deathcamps of yours?” Does such statements make you 1) All warm and gooey? 2) Give you associations of Nazis?
I’m not calling him an internet troll, just a garden troll. A strong and devastating invective for sure, but perhaps ill chosen for an Internet thread. I’ve got another powerful one right here though: Tars Takars you’re a potato head! Hah!
I’m trying to set a baseline. And slowly work myself up from there. BTW Why is it making a bit of fun of someone avatar name is considered such a tabu? You call somebody a big-stupid-useless-goddamn-motherfucking-cocksucking-freeloading-son-of-a-bitch and nobody raises an eyebrow, but the second you change the name a bit everybody gets their knickers in a twist.
FWIW I found the accusations to be reprehensible. Unlike some I don’t find calling someone a racist or a nazi without very good cause to be acceptable. In the case of MC it was especially uncalled for.
Many of my fellow liberals seemed to have a problem with December suggesting liberals supported terrorism. They then turn around and suggest conservatives support Hitler. I am henceforth a moderate and a fencesitter. I don’t want to affiliate myself with either of these sides.
It’s not taboo, it’s just too easy. It lacks art. A good insult is a finely crafted tool, lovingly honed and carefully inserted into the most appropriate chink in your opponent’s armor. Making fun of someone’s screenname is grade school. You’d get more mileage out of calling someone a poopy-head. At the very least, readers will assume you’re being ironically juvenile, not earnestly juvenile.
