But it’s unimaginative. That’s the complaint here. People are lazy and don’t even try anymore.

Just calling names is so third grade.

Really? This is the Dope, so I imagine a lot of posters know what feltching is, but people in general?

[Who knows what feltching is without looking it up.]

I think there should be a “Sickening Niceness” thread.

Have the posters that have pitted Dopers like **LinusK** and **Snowboarder Bo** say nice things about them instead, and be excessive in the treacly and syrupy goodness. Smarm instead of snark. Embarrassing aunt kissy face in public stuff.

OP: You’re about as useful as Rapunzel in cornrows. Maybe your brains got close-cropped. My imagination’s fertile, yours is fertilizer; you raise a stink, but I’m in full flower.

There. Is that creative enough, OP, or must I start peppering you with the corny stuff?
