Mr. Manner's Guide to Posts that Should Not Be Made

I love you both equally.

I prefer referring to all moderators as “Neolithic Cretins” simply because of the musical/poetic quality of the phrase and, of course, it temporarily fools the readers into believing that I am somewhat of an erudite.

Whatever “erudite” means, that is.

Dear Mr. Manners,
I’m looking for a subtle way to brag about my penis size. Is it acceptable to start a thread polling male Dopers on their physical characteristics, so that I might coyly post my own, thereby impressing female Dopers(and a few males, too)?
Or would this only make me look pathetic?

Yours truly,
Head Held High

Well, aside from testimony from past fellatrices…

Gentle Poster,

Polling about penis size is never appopriate, unless one’s name is Kinsey. And even then it’s in dubious taste. The proper way to discuss the size of one’s genitals is to casually mention it in conversation. For example,

Poster 1: I don’t see how the Jedi can run around with their light sabers on all the time. Wouldn’t they bash into things or trip over them or something?

Poster 2: I think they would. I often have that problem with my similarly sized penis, and what a bother it is!

Mr. Manners

The other nice thing is that if you later call the same moderator a Heartless Nazi or a Godless Commie and get called for inconsistancy, you can defend yourself by claiming that the target of your wrath has evolved since your previous post. Unless you’re in the midst of a flaming defense of creationism.

Like this?

-Is this a bad time to mention that The Inaccurate Yaks would be a great band name?

Gentle Reader,

A “band name” comment is only inappropriate when one is confessing one’s true feelings of love to another Doper.

Poster 1. Yes Fenris?

Fenris: My darling. I have held my feelings in check for far too long. I wish to pledge to you my everlasting lov…

Hey! “Everlasting Love!” Band name!
Mr. Manners

Fenris truly is Mannerly.

“The stench can be smelled two forums over.”

LOL
You are the best, man…

Is any other part of the matzoh edible? :confused:

Mr. Manners, if you would be so kind, to consider certain additions to your well reasoned tome?

  1. Posts wherein the poster attempts to dismantle one’s opponents argument, which start with a childish re-inventing of the poster’s name automatically forfeit. So, for example, should some one suggest that “Mr. No-Manners” is wrong, they would forfiet (special exception made when certain somebodies re-name the poster so they can be found during a search are excepted :wink: )

  2. Pit threads wherein the total posts made by the OP approach 50% of the posts made in the thread, should suggest that, well, the thread itself was not the best idea.

Thank you, oh thank you.

A concerned citizen

Well, at least inconsistent is misspelled consistently in this thread.

Do you suppose that Emily Post will come along to post comments on this thread?

This may be a hijack, so I’m going to start my own thread on Yoda’s Syntax. I’ve listened to it carefully recently (though I haven’t seen AOTC) and I think I have a good theory as to what is going on. I’m going to be majoring in Linguistics and so I know a little bit about stuff like this. If you’d like to hear the theory go the thread on the topic. I’ll post a link later.

P.S. Luke turns to the Dark Side?! I did not know about that!

I’m Sorry, I was trying to post toThis Thread. I had two windows open displaying two different threads and I thought I had closed this window. I guess I hadn’t.

Could some kindly mod please delete this post and my other post regarding Star Wars?

Would any susequent post be called a post Emily Post post?

No edit = :frowning:

O.K., so if I replied after a moderator quoted Emily would I be the post-mod post posted by Emily Post poster?

Sorry! I could not help myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have posted that.
