return to my last reply to you. it’s not an isolated case of ignorance (mine.) it seems like you’re dealing with a pandemic.
Not really. Your posts generally are much more stupid and ignorant than the average poster. Or even the below average poster.
Or a cocker spaniel puppy.
more good news for me then. level of severity is not as important as % of incidence.
It took you all of 35 minutes to break that promise. So let’s add “untrustworthy” to our list of your character faults.
Your posts are also much less coherent than most.
this thread is a like a talking mirror. a shame if it disappears.
mac, you’ve made it clear that you are not here to learn and you have little to contribute. I don’t understand what benefit you derive from refusing to type capital letters, but maybe you like to feel special. You remind me of the way I was when I was a precocious but kind of obnoxious kid, and maybe that’s why I don’t like you. In case you are inclined to grow up, here’s a hint: the attention you get from real contributions is a lot better than the attention you get from badly typed stupidity and half-assed arguments.
oh but i am learning some things in this thread, doc. most of it is for the good. of that i’m sure. and i don’t dislike you. i don’t remember ever knocking heads with you until now. dunderheads who think they have enough brains to read my mind i’ve long identified. they’re easy enough to spot. suffice to say i’m not that curious about becoming a member or charter member (whatever those titles signify.) if they can’t understand a simple declarative sentence, and choose to split hairs, i just go into my usual obnoxious mode and let them stew. you on the other hand, are one of the few people here who can’t stand one liners. your posts may not be so impressive substance-wise, but i respect people who can organize their thoughts beyond five sentences. and shedding your early stage of development is a pity because there’s something to be said about being young, angry and brilliant. i miss that in me.
A semi-resurrection, I suppose, motivated by the other thread where mac_bolan00 is making a jaw-dropping ass of himself, but how has this answer not been leapt on as the incredible, stunning display of ignorance it is?
which, the mayflower? that’s because other readers can pick up a joke while you can’t. tsk-tsk.
You meant the other one as a joke, too. Being a joke and being a crappy thing to say are not mutually exclusive. Some say that people use humor to reflect their true attitudes.
It is times like this that I, if only for a passing moment, wish for the capacity to vote people off the island.
my superior intellect fails me. meaning what?
There’s a practical middle level: apply to become a moderator!
(I have no idea whatever what it takes to becomes a Straight Dope moderator, but I do seem to recall watching some fairly new members attain that status, so it isn’t wholly based on longevity. Think, though, how much fun it would be to be able to issue warnings!)
Good riddance.
Ding Dong the mac is dead! What’d he get banned for (are we allowed to ask that, sorry if not)?
For being an antisemite. There’s a locked thread in ATMB.
