You know that scene in the first reboot Star Trek movie? The one where Spock is in front of the Vulcan Science Academy and makes “Live long and prosper” sound a awful lot like fuck you. That’s how the “regards” comes off sometimes and don’t think that Shodan doesn’t know that.

> [@Muffin](#): > > Eventually shagnasty will ask shodan out for a date, but it may take a while. That depends. Is Shodan a wealthy, older gay man? Is he a hosebeast? What zip code does he live in? Shaggy has standards, you know. ---

Years ago we had a pretty popular poster named \*\*Satan \*\*who, IIRC, signed all his posts with, > [@](#): > > Yer pal, > > Satan I don’t recall that anyone minded that. Generally speaking, I find Shodan annoying in political threads but reasonable elsewhere. ---

I take “Regards, Shodan” to mean, “We can disagree, but still be civil.” Fuck you, coffeecat ---

> [@coffeecat](#): > > I take “Regards, Shodan” to mean, “We can disagree, but still be civil.” I was all set to start a “What Does Shodan’s ‘Regards’ Mean?” poll, but I discovered you can’t do polls in the Pit. :mad: Anyway, he’s a big crybaby. 😃 ---

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > and it’s something he says _because he knows it annoys_ I think there’s a difference between: setting out to do something specifically because it annoys vs _not ceasing_ a thing you have always done, after you are informed that it annoys I mean, I don’t like the ‘regards’ thing myself, but sometimes, when you find yourself faced with criticism of the kind “Could you stop doing that innocuous thing you do, because it annoys me”, a perfectly valid response is “Nope.”. We can’t always be beholden to everyone’s bullshit sensitivities. ---

There is a four letter word we aren’t allowed to call people on this board. Which is a shame because it describes Shodan so well. ---

Projection is a harsh mistress. An accurate assessment, IMHO. I find his sig to be a mildly annoying tic, but hardly worth Pitting. ---

And here I opened the thread hoping this was about Shodan complaining to the powers that be that Idle Thoughts had spoken about him on another board (positively but that doesn’t seem to matter) and started a chain of event that caused Idle to say fuck it and leave the SDMB. THAT’S a worthy pit topic. Fuck you Shodan. Delete your account. ---

Well, I already had zero regard for the racist asshole who successfully trolled me into getting my only warning (funnily enough, given by **IT** ), but if I did, this would have erased it. What a mewling quim he is.
