The only thing deeper than your delusions is your unearned arrogance, you insufferable nitwit.

Everyone said the exact same thing I did. So we’re all ignorant nitwits, is that what you’re saying?

Hmm. Nice.

Look, I read the board incessantly. I often see threads at the beginning. I often post if I think I can be helpful.

I don’t often post in P&E or FQ.

The other threads I give my opinion, an anecdote or I look it up for someone that may be away from home and cannot look it up. I rarely believe AI, I read further.

This is where I’m social. I’m not conversational or in a RL society. My family is my only outlet.

Why can’t I have this? I get goofy and foggy sometimes. I try not to post at those times. Sometimes I do, I apologize if it bothers the 5-H so much.

Ya’ll gotta stop this campaign. It’s not good for your mental health. Maybe step back and consider your own actions.

Most people are asking you not to drop ignorance bombs and cutesy no content posts outside of MPSIMS. Be super social in MPSIMS, that is built for it.

I understand that.

My post was not ignorant.

She’s literally told me it’s exactly what SHE IS DOING.

The cluelessness hurts my eyes.  
There are way more than 5 posters who understand your “I’m always right, everyone is picking on me for no reason” schtik.  
The defensiveness is blurring my vision too.  
This board is about fighting ignorance.  
People are going to keep fighting your ignorance, too bad you don’t try and think, hm, whats wrong with what I said.  
You attack posters more than they attempt to correct you.  
You’re hopeless.

At least, nobody cares about it compared to that hotbed of avant garde culture where you reside. I mean, I’m not one to make fun of folks’ hometowns, but Dead Possum Arkansas doesn’t give you a great pedestal from which to sneer at _anyone._

Lichtenstein sounds interesting, actually.  
Off to look it up and learn.

Just as Beck doesn’t live in Dead Possum, Cervaise doesn’t live in Lichtenstein, IIRC. I think it’s Luxembourg. Both, I am sure, are excellent places.

I have taken the jabs about Arkansas and my possum friend and my southern self til I’m sick to death of it.

I don’t sneer at anyone, except bragging and self promotion that’s probably a big ol’ lie. I swear if my life was as great as they say I certainly wouldn’t be bothering folks on a message board for not one reason. I don’t even , have never interacted with @Cervaise at all. I don’t understand the hatred.

I like what @Just_Asking_Questions said, although I think he got your name wrong:

There are some posts of Beck’s I like and some like her bad bad bad threads that are not my cup of tea. Sorry Beck, but you ain’t no Garrison Keillor. And there are a few threads that she really got my blood angry about. But looking at this board as a whole, I don’t think she would be in my Top-10 of annoying aholes here. I also think she suffers from not being one of the cool kids here so we sit together at lunch and hope "The Cool Kids"™ don’t give us online wedgies.

I would agree with this, there are far more irritating people who speak outside their expertise. There’s another poster I could mention who is far worse about this, but I don’t want to summon him by speaking his name.

I see this as a read and move on, live-and-let-live kind of situation. As the board’s population ages, people are going to depend on it more and more for general socializing, and the culture is going to change. We can afford to tolerate a few colorful characters who are maybe annoying now and then, but aren’t hurting anyone.
