Actually Jim, I hate to disagree with you and have to side with \*\*fetus \*\* and **VCO3** (I’m not a fan of changed user names), but he’s really correct.

[QUOTE=Hostile Dialect]  
OK, I’ve never been a **VCO3** apologist, but _come on_, he _fantasized_ about spitting in someone’s coffee. _Fantasized_ about it. On a fucking Internet MB. Has anyone ever worked in customer service and _not_ wished they could intentionally ruin a customer’s day at least once?

You missed one point in my post. I never actually condemned him for it, I just thought that was the \*\*VCO3 \*\* thread that got tossed in his face the most. I was in at least one thread that also involved a lost wedding ring being tossed into the trash. The spitting got brought up by many posters.

I don’t waste my time dwelling on his past offenses, in fact I only rarely (for me) get involved in \*\*VCO3 \*\* threads. I thought this one was in good if snarky humor and it appears \*\*VCO3/TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW \*\* is okay with it.

I hadn’t been aware of it. Didn’t recall seeing anyone hereabouts with that name. But if so, my apologies.

I usually have it referenced in my location, which is probably where people see it occasionally. Just to annoy **Leaffan**. Plus I post infrequently enough that people vaguely remember seeing it but don’t remember where.

[QUOTE=Antinor01]  
I know who **TLDR** reminds me of, Belkar from Order of the Stick. He makes a lot of sense when I look at it that way.  
[/QUOTE]  
I always picture him as the message board equivalent of the Evil Midnight Bomber What Bombs at Midnight from _The Tick_:

So he says to me, he says “POSTING CRAZY SHIT IS OKAY IN MY BOOK, HOW ABOUT YOURS?” and I go “YEAH, BABY, YEAH!”

I think those threads may have just been before we got used to him. It’s like Tom Waits’s singing: I gotta wonder, did he get less weird and abrasive, or did I just get more jaded?

And so he says, “I don’t like the cut of your jib”, and I go, I says “it’s the only jib I got, baby!”  
Bad is good, baby! Down with moderators!

Just for the record, I have never claimed to or even mentioned spitting in anyone’s coffee, and I defy any poster to provide evidence otherwise. It’s my personal Randi Challenge - I’ll buy the next year’s membership for any poster that can provide evidence of me claiming to have spit in someone’s coffee.

It’s a total fabrication made up by other posters.

That’s it! I knew there was something familiar about **TLDRetc**.
