**Kel’s** not a bad guy. He just started a thread people didn’t take seriously, but which gave us a lot of laughs. And since **Newcrasher** gave us one of the most annoying [thread=284668]threads[/thread] in recent history, I hardly think he’s in a position to throw insults around. ---

I could understand if he called you a dumdum in GQ or GD, but in the Pit? Good grief, dude, did you recently have an unfortunate run-in with a skin-eating monster? ---

I skipped over that GD thread, before it was closed, thinking it was one of the most pointless OPs I’d seen in months, little realizing what pure comedy gold it turned out to be. Damn. As for the OP, maybe, sir, you’d consider making yourself, and this thread, useful by finally explaining what you thought you were trying to accomplish with that there wierd-ass hypothetical thing you came up with there. ---

> [@Larry Borgia](#): > > **Kel’s** not a bad guy. Difficult to prove, and not mutually exclusive with him being an asshole either. But if he’s not a bad guy, let’s see him demonstrate it by no longer starting Moral Outrage threads in every damn forum and actually acting like an adult. ---

> [@Kel Varnsen - Latex Division](#): > > newcrasher, calling someone a dumdum is rude. Your problem is not that I am a dumdum, but that I committed an act that was dumb in your opinion. Hate the act, not the actor. For instance, I don’t call you a ruderude, I just say you committed a rude act.

I just call 'em like I see 'em. …and did you call me Mr. Icommittedarudeact in the same paragraph as you told me not to call you a name based on something you posted? egads, what a dumdum. Perhaps I shall open a thread bemoaning you calling me a name. ---

Kel Varnsen, calling a bullet a dumdum is possible. Your problem is that you **are** a dumdum. You have also committed acts that were rude (and attention seeking). Hate the thread, not the threader. Hate the post, not the post-it note. For instance I don’t call you a ruderude (since that’s just silly), I just say you are a dumdum.

I enjoyed that mentioned thread, even as just a looky loo. I started out giggling, then snorting, and then when it turned into a RPG screen capture I just sort of fell apart. As for being called a dumdum, YAWN. Right now there is another thread full of ignorant sluts, murderous barbarians, tree sitting monkey people, and Luddites. To call someone a dumdum isn’t even trying. ---
