Just like the guy whose posts do not support this thread. Someone throws a fit, ‘cause. Lame posts are forming in my head - they keep forming. So I just did me some talkin’ to the mod, And he said he always thought I was ex-treme-ly odd. Give up this facade. Oh Those lame posts are forming in my head - they keep forming. But there’s one thing I know, The meds they send to treat me ~ now complete me, And it won’t be long ‘Till sanity steps up to greet me. Lame posts keep forming in my head. But that doesn’t mean they’re lies you should ignore instead. Lurking’s not for me, ‘cause, You’re never gonna stop lame posts by complainin’ Because you see, They’re not botherin’ me. It won’t be long till sanity steps up to greet me. Lame posts keep landing in my thread. But that’s still no reason for your wishing I were dead. Hiding’s not for me, ‘cause, You’re never gonna stop my posts by complainin’ Because you seeeeeeeeee, They’re not botherin’ meeeeeeeeeeeee. ```auto Thanks - You've been a great audience. :) ``` ---

As I was writing a post on the Straight Dope– As I typed in a message to that board one day; I spied a new screen name concealing a doper, Concealing a doper who’d been banned that day. “I see by your post count that you are a reg’lar” These were his words when I nailed his ID "Please don’t tell the Mods here about my sock puppet, “I’ll just post one message, then hist’ry I’ll be.” Then I saw he’d posted a message quite vulgar, Insulting the Mods, and Ed Zotti by name. In ATMB the twit left it to fester, And then he logged off before he could get flamed. ---

Don’t cry for me fellow Dopers! For I am ordinary, unimportant And am not capable of memorizing acronyms unless we all are I doubt we all are Reply to my thread oh my people! For when it’s your turn to post you’ll remember That I did read yours Despite it’s mundaneness Because I love you And have no real friends Did I write to much? There’s nothing more I can think of write in here But all you have to do is search my posts to know That all I say is queer! ---

I am just a Doper, and my threads are seldom read I have squandered my existence, For a chance of getting second pages, even thirds. Perhaps the pit? Still I’ve yet to make that big a splash to hear I’m full of it. I may stay at home with my family, but they never see my face, In the company of strangers, In the green glow of a monitor I’m sitting here. Laying low, I’m afraid if I make too much noise, someone will tell me so. Then maybe send me outside just to mow. (Lies, all lies! Everything you’ve heard is lies. Lies, all lies! Lies, all lies, all lies, all lies, all lies, all lies!) Paying only four-ninety-five, I post about my job, And my coworkers, Or complain about my husband’s doctor phobia. I do declare there were times when I said stupid things, with no edit anywhere. Then I’m laying out my signature And wishing it were smart, something clever, So my name would be in threads where they talk of those things, My envy stings, I’m green with it. In the forum is a poster whose great arguments all fade, And he carries the reminders of every “Cite!” that laid him down, Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame, “I am leaving, I am leaving.” But the poster still remains. (Lies, all lies! Everything you’ve heard is lies. Lies, all lies! Lies, all lies, all lies, all lies, all lies, all lies!) ---

The Trial (Real apologies to Roger Waters and the Rest of Pink Floyd) Good morning, **Lynn Bodoni** , This post will plainly show the poster, Who now stands before you was caught red-handed Showing logic… Showing logic of an almost intelligent nature. This will not do! Call the Moderator! (Moderator) I always said she’d come to no good in the end, Lynn Bodoni, If they’d let me have my way I could have banned her from this site, But my hands were tied, The endless vapid threads and posts, Let her get away with inanity, let me edit her into shape! (Not Crazy… Why won’t anyone tell me: I’m not crazy… Should have been working. They must not take my membership away!) (Pit Poster) You little troll you’re in it now, I hope they throw away your fee, You should have agreed with me more often than you did, But NO, you had to go your own way, Have you killed any threads off lately, Just five minutes, Lynn Bodoni, her and me alone. (Some Random Poster) Heyyyyyyyy Come to my thread, Crazy, let me fill you with ideas, Milord I never wanted her to get in any trouble, Why’d she ever have to post in that BBQ Pit Thread? Crazy! I am still waiting, Tell me I’m not Crazy! Crumbs in my keyboard… There must have been a hamster in the john when I hit submit!) The evidence before the court is incontrovertible, There’s no needs for the Admins to perspire, In all my years of Modding, I have never seen before, Someone more deserving of a life of Gaudere’s law, The way you made them suffer, the exquisite other posters, Fills me with the urge to administrate! Since my friend, you have revealed your scariest fate, I sentence you to a life of posting in only Great Debates! (Another THINK not THING… THINK not THING… THINK not THING…) ---

_With plagarism from_ Swingin’ on a Star _and apologies to Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Huesen_ Would you like to post on a thread Present ideas right from your head And be better off than in bed Or would you rather be a fool A fool is a poster with long meandering posts He picks up in the middle and he boasts His facts are missing - and his brain is weak He’s just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak And by the way, if you really are a tool You may be known here as a fool Would you like to post on a thread Present ideas right from your head And be better off than in bed Or would you rather be a putz A putz is a poster with egg on his face His words are a terrible disgrace He ain’t got spell-check or grammar at all He can hear facts - he’s not on the ball But if in commenting, you seem to be in a rut You may be known here as a putz Would you like to post on a thread Present ideas right from your head And be better off than in bed Or would you rather be a ditz A ditz won’t do anything but repeat someone’s lie He can’t think a thought or even try And to fool the people is his only thought Though he’s slippery - he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a ditz All Charter Members don’t have a clue Every day you meet quite a few So you see it’s all up to you You can be better than you are You can be posting like a star ---

Such a very long time that it’s been That it’s hard for me to recall what I wrote 'Cause a month had gone by Not a single reply And I won’t be surprised if my thread’s dead Only thing I wanted was a name Of a person who had used to have some fame But nobody could say – Not a thing either way – So I gave up and I got myself to bed… I’m at the top of the forum looking Down at the others and the only explanation I can find Is the posted reply Where not a second has gone by; Your post put me at the top of the forum! ---
