Those two posts are actually logically consistent, in a weird way. 😃

\*\*sear \*\*reminds me of Calculon from Futurama. I pictured him with the back of his hand against his forehead, wistfully expostulating on how wistful he is.

You called me a troll and when I called you out on it you said ‘no I didn’t’ like a little 5 year old that didn’t realize there were other people paying attention. No one is purposefully misunderstanding what you’re saying. You, literally, called two people trolls. You literally said that, hold on, I’ll show you:  
In reference to Crotalus and I…

.

Then when I mentioned that you called me a troll you quickly went back on it and said

No misunderstanding, you called me a troll, then changed it to calling ‘the topic’ a troll, “obviously”.

And again, how can a topic be a troll, clearly I’m far too dense to understand that since it’s obviously what you meant?

He does shit like [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=20065149&postcount=311). He uses the quote feature, but strips the “originally quoted by” stuff and inserts his stupid little RainMan code. I vote Irritating As Fuck. Does that count as a public veto?

How is this difficult to understand? “And that’s two votes for the passive-aggressive troll wannabe.” The implication was that you were voting for the passive-aggressive troll wannabe – i.e. the person (“topic”) of the thread, **sear**. I’m baffled why someone would seem to interpret that as having been called a troll.

He didn’t call you a troll, you idiot. Your own quotes demonstrate that. He called **sear** a troll and a passive-aggressive idiot. He just said you voted in favor of **sear**. Which given your reactions here, is no surprise.

Any way…  
For someone who was all “Do what I say immediately or I’'l troll you”, the subject of this thread has been rather quiet. Is he all bluster, or do you think he’ll do something rash/stupid?

What he actually said was, “the topic of this thread [is] a troll wannabe;” the topic of this thread being Sear the Pretentious. Did that crack the density at all?

Jesus dude, the topic of the thread is a person, and a person can be a troll. You accuse others of being dense and you get stuck on this?

Nice words from a mod, ass.

Looks like I misread it, Czar could have explained it better like some of you did. Thanks to the people that did, fuck off, susie (and Colibri for jumping right down my throat with the idiot comment).

You’ve been around as long as you have, and don’t realize I’m posting as a poster, and not as a mod? And you’re acting incredibly stupidly in the Pit, and are upset that people called you an idiot? There was nothing wrong with **Czarcasm’s** explanation.

You really are an idiot, and almost as oversensitive as **sear**.
