Hahahahaha! So you’re saying that he’s worse that Hitler? Now you’re just digging yourself in deeper matey.
At least he doesn’t use “Bwahahaha”. Apparently that’s uncivil.
Harumph! I most certainly was not.
And besides which, Hitler wasn’t such a bad chap. Had some odd ideas and we lost a few of our boys to him in that scrap a while back, but fair play to him and you can’t deny he knew a thing or two about strong government.
If subjected to the test devised by Mr. Turing it would certainly prove to be ineffective in demonstrating itself not to be a poorly programmed automaton.
That’s an interesting question. I know people have designed Turing robots to be like teenage American girls or Eastern European gamers. Has anyone ever tried a Turing robot that just posts facile nonsense in political threads?

A preliminary need assessment indicated that, due to the number of readily-available volunteers, developing such a device would not meet the required cost-benefit ratio.
Bots can be programmed as Nigerian princes looking for shard bank accounts, so why not?
Teenage girls, Eastern European gamers, Nigerian princes, or for that matter a developmentally delayed opossum would much harder to program than doorhinge.
A Moderator participates in this.
It is damned confusing.
I never heard of the fellow, I presumed this was admonishing some fellow named “Doorhinge” and a Moderator who interceded.
I am batting a damned sticky wicket, chaps.
:dubious:
A poster participates in this.
I stand corrected.
As I say to my beloved Wife (and Moderators), “It is my fault, and I am sorry.”
I do believe that this sort of thing is not English, and simply not done by gentlemen.
YOU GUYS. You’re forgetting about his talent for devising unique, witty sobriquets for politicians and other public figures.
My all-time favorite is “Port Authority Wildstein.” Brilliant! A robot could never have come up with that.

He really is quite strange.
Now ladies and gentleman; please!
I did not start this thread to see you all blackguard poor Mister Doorhinge so. That was not my purpose at all. Dear oh dear what have I started. I never for a moment thought that by opening a thread here merely to give that good man a tiny hint - from one gentleman to another - of how he might be able to improve himself a little, he would find himself set upon from all sides by you insufferable cads.
How am I ever going to look Mister Doorhinge in the eye again? Will he be able to forgive me?
Is THAT what he was going for?
My fault, I guess, for thinking it’s supposed to be pronounced d’erple.
Good Heavens, man, is there a shortage of those? I can’t imagine any other reason for attempting to automate the process…
Come now, Princhester old chum, I do concur most heartily with your urbane and decorous noting of possible improvements to Mr. Doorhinge’s conduct to fit more into the witty and intelligent mode of discussion herein to which we have all become accustomed, especially here in the rather vulgarly named area called The Pit.
However, I most most respectfully note that Mr. Doorhinge has shown a most tenacious and to date quite firm ability to conduct himself in ways no gentlemen (or woman) would consider doing in proper company.
I think something a bit stronger, such as a firmly spoken “tut-tut”, or perhaps even an audible sniff, drastic as those may be, should certainly be considered if Mr. Doorhinge should remain obstinate.
With Great Respect, I am, Yr Obt. Svt.

Now, translating the above into Brookyese:
Yo, Prinnie, 'dis Doorhinge asshole, he’s as stubborn as a boulder and about as smart. He needs, ya know, to gets some sense stuffed in his head, even if ya need to get it there via the as…rectum (ya know what I mean?).
Be cool, bro
