Nah, bullshit, **Bottledblondjeannie**. There are two options. We take the OP as a bit of a joke, in which case making fun of it is hardly out of order, or alternatively we take it seriously, in which case we are talking about a guy advocating the death of many people on these boards, in which case frankly **com2kid** deserves all he has got and more. These boards are pretty robust and rigorous, and the pit (which is where we are) even more so. These boards are by and large _reasonably_ polite to polite newbies. But someone who comes in with an OP like this? You’ve got to be kidding. I’m pretty sure that **com2kid** knows that this is the kitchen, and it seems to me it is you, not him, that is complaining about the heat. And we all know what that means you should do, don’t we? ---

Mom, or Dad? \*\* When I read the OP, I guessed that his dad was William Burroughs. It seems that he’s inherited his writing style (or at least they’re equally coherent) but wants to rebel against the “dark side” of drugs that his father embraced. Of course that means that he can’t kill mom. ---

But there are two many holes in computer scientist theorys of a world wide web 1000’s of years old. It doesnt make sense, the only logical explination is that that HTML, and VB were created by an inteligent entity, be that God, Sky Pixie, Al Gore, or Tim Berners-Lee, the HTML Bible says its only 13 years old or so, and the fact is, you have shown nothing to prove otherwise. Just a bunch of theorys by nonbelievers who would put forth any theory to avoid having to take responsability for thier coding errors. There’s that web site that reconstructed from a single snipet of code, and then later found out it was a piece of code from Byte magazines “Super Wumpas”. Open your heart to the truth Opal, it is you who has been brainwashed. [sub]how many of you got the earlier Wirth referance and the super wumpas referance…Kid indeed[/sub] ---

Hey \*\* Hardygrrl \*\* Not quite sure what your problem is other than you seem to be particularly bitchy… As have stated numerous times in other threads, I sure wish I hadn’t written that thread as it was silly…but thanks for acknowledging that I’ve said that and slapping me in the face with it one more time. Sweet of you, really. It seems to me that **Com2** spent a lot of time writing that, and just because it wasn’t up to our standards, y’all accuse him of being on drugs–the VERY THING HE WAS RANTING ABOUT. Fine, you think he was kidding, but WHAT IF HE WASN’T…I mean just cause he says something over-the-top in his rant does not mean he wants to do it-- hyperbole…we use it all the time…WHAT IF HE WAS SERIOUS? Weren’t you guys a bit harsh–mean and cruel even? I enjoy coherence as much as the next person, frankly some people, when they RANT lose any sense of coherence…that does not give folks the right to jump all over his ass–it was his thread to begin with and he’s not cluttering up the boards… So, guess what, until I find out that **Com2** is a troll and is trying to write incoherently, I’m going to be nice to him. Being mean for the sake of being mean is not all it’s cracked up to be. BBJ ---

And if anyone bothers to check, his OP is similar to the rest of his posts, but he’s posted in several forums including GQ trying to make a contribution. I think he could be a valuable addition…why don’t the rest of you look at his posts, too? BBJ ---

Fine, **Jeannie**. You believe that even stupid opinions, such as yours and the OP’s, shouldn’t be given flip, dismissive replies? Well, I disagree, but I’ll play along for now and expand on my previous reply to you. **"Hey, BBJ, can I have some of what _you’re_ smoking?"** …'Cause apparently it sends you to some magical alternate dimension in which the OP _isn’t_ an obnoxious, ignorant, steaming pile of shit. I think it would be fun to visit this strange other world where such an evil and hateful idea is thought to be one worthy of respect and consideration… Um, wait…no, it wouldn’t. Yeah, on second thought, I’d rather stay in _this_ world, where such ignorant filth is treated with the scorn and derision it deserves—at least by intelligent people, like _most_ of the posters on this board. The War on Drugs is an abomination. A vile and evil assault on freedom, and the worst, most destructive institution in the history of this country, excepting only slavery. But even the pernicious DEA only wants to imprison people, to steal their property and wreck their lives, for the victimless crime of performing experiments on their own nervous systems. **COM2Kid** wants to _murder_ them. Fuck him. His stupid and vicious opinion does not deserve even a moments’ serious consideration. Fuck him, and fuck you for defending him, you sanctimonious twit. ---

\*\* Ferrous \*\* check out his other posts. And you know what, I think you are attributing some other meaning to what \*\* Com2 \*\* said. He was joking–making an exaggeration about something that bothers him, it’s pretty damn obvious. How many times have we seen things of this nature in the pit from long-time posters? I remember recently someone threatened to kill the ice-cream man…did you believe that, too. I think throwing aroung ignorant vileness like this is bringing the pit right back to where it was before the big crash…WONDERFUL. The pit is for ranting and bullshit, but get off of your horse and if \*\* Com2 \*\* doesn’t like drugs or drug users, fine, he’s entitled, but discuss that with him and not call him names. And although, I, too, am not always entirely coherent, I am pretty far from being a twit, thank you very much…let’s try to refrain from throwing around insults for NO reason, shall we? I don’t remember calling you any names. BTW, leaving for vacation, now and won’t be able to respond until Tuesday. BBJ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by BottledBlondJeanie \* > \*\*\*\* Ferrous \*\* check out his other posts. \*\* Okay, I took your suggestion. Most of his posts are rather innocuous. Some are even helpful or somewhat amusing. But still, generously peppered throughout, is the same sort of shit we see here: stating flat out that he wants to kill people who do things he doesn’t like. Like [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2079819#post2079819), in which he advocates shooting potheads who “disrupt his education”, and [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2072941#post2072941) where he darkly hints about what he’d like to do to end the drug war. In [this one](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2076307#post2076307), he fantasizes about hiring “death squads” to “assassinate companies who do shit I don’t like”, and various other nasty things. And let’s not forget [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?postid=2124896#post2124896), the low point of a thread that was, admittedly, in rather poor taste anyway. > [@](#): > > \*\*And you know what, I think you are attributing some other meaning to what \*\* Com2 \*\* said. He was joking–making an exaggeration about something that bothers him, it’s pretty damn obvious. \*\* I think I have demonstrated that it is not “pretty damn obvious” that he was joking, when a pretty significant percentage of his total posts are saying the same thing. To the contrary, I think it’s pretty damn obvious that the OP represents his true feelings. > [@](#): > > **I remember recently someone threatened to kill the ice-cream man…did you believe that, too.** I think I’ll just answer that with a quick :rolleyes: > [@](#): > > **The pit is for ranting and bullshit, but get off of your horse and if \*\* Com2 \*\* doesn’t like drugs or drug users, fine, he’s entitled, but discuss that with him and not call him names.** If he doesn’t like them, fine, I agree he’s entitled. I have no problem with that. It’s when he begins advocating their deaths that I begin to have a problem. > [@](#): > > **And although, I, too, am not always entirely coherent, I am pretty far from being a twit, thank you very much…let’s try to refrain from throwing around insults for NO reason, shall we? > I don’t remember calling you any names.** No, you didn’t call me any names, you just stood up for an asshole who wants to kill me because I used to smoke pot. And I thought I was being rather restrained in calling you a “sanctimonious twit.” That’s actually a lot nicer than some of the other things I thought of. But anyway, have fun on your vacation.🙂 ---

This is a **public** message board, dedicated to **fighting ignorance**. Public means “open to other’s opinions”. In other words if you post it, don’t bitch and moan about responses. As for fighting ignorance, I could do blotter acid, stick a crayon between my toes and **still** make more sense than the OP. Coherence. hmmm. Try reading a sample of posts from this forum. While they may use terms like “mother squicking, rejected by a RealDoll fuckwaffle”, they are easy to follow. They go from point a to point b without a detour into the Forest of Fuckheadedness.
