Oh,so we’ll just stop 'cause you told us to ; eh, snotwad? **LIKE HELL WE WILL!** You’ll take your chances with being flamed just like the rest of us. A Palidoormat you are, indeed sir.

The problem wasn’t the intelligence of the questions you asked, or the self esteem of the people who “live” here. The problem was that you walked into a party and immediatly challenged those present with a series of pointless tests, to see if the party was worthy of your participation. Unfortunately, as the world has many intelligent, and well mannered, people, the questions you raised had been answered before. Your unjustified rudeness and presumption offended people. I am suprised that you can not recognize the effect your lack of insight caused. If you walk into any group of people, in person or online, and attempt to make them pass tests of your devising before you will grace them with your presence, don’t be suprised if they somehow pass up the treat. If you made a blooper, the answer is a civil apology. I made a bad joke which offended people, but it is amazing how generously everyone accepted the apology and gave me a second chance. I suggest you try the same. If you want to join a community of intelligent people, it is a grave error to patronize them or underestimate that intelligence. They do not have to prove themselves to you; you, by your own contributions, have to prove yourself to THEM. Until you can match the company, I suggest you do all involved a favor and seek out another venue more suited to your capabilities. Veb (who gets wordy in a snit) ---

MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTIONS!!?! Sheesh, you guys are hardasses. Well, if it’s just GQ and Field and Stream I guess I can live with it. Given this group I would expect something like “Embalming Today” or “Journal of Proctology”. Veb ---

Palidors and Kilroy: Gentlemen, you are both severely mistaken on two extremely pertinent points. Point number one is your assumption that the people who frequent this forum are deserving of the hyperbolic vituperation you have so freely distributed over the course of your last few posts. In this, you are both very much incorrect. The people who post on these boards are highly intelligent, very well educated, informed, tolerant, friendly, and decent people. They in no way deserve either the treatment or the names you have bestowed upon them. Point number two is your assumption that simply because you post a message on this forum, you are automatically deserving of the respect of all other participants. By absolutely no means. Should your posts exhibit signs of being well-discerned, balanced, thought-provoking, relevant, and above all, respectful of others, you will be listened to and not flamed. However, should your posts display the arrogance, condescention, petulance, and adolescent infantilism of your most current efforts, do not expect to be taken seriously. Bear this thought uppermost in your minds, and meditate upon it prodigiously: gentlemen, respect from the people who use these boards is not an entitlement. Respect from the people who use these boards is something you must earn. ---

Hey Trolls! That whooshing sound you just heard was Pickmans post going over your heads! And guys…we want you to know that we have no problem accepting homosexuals into the group…But we do prefer homosexuals who can read. _ **Ho- mo- sex- u- al** _…it means gay, or queer. As in 2 boys who like each other in a sex way. ( I am trying to use small words they will understand) ---

Why? Is Sqrlcub _gay_? Or maybe a homophobe? I really dont care if a poster is gay or not! Quadell was one of the posters here who most impressed me, and inspired me to post. I love gay people! I am not trying to be a smartass either, I really do! Some of my closest friends are bisexual. MAN! Can they tell stories… 😉 ---

Ya know Palidors, you’re really not very bright. When you first posted, everyone jumped on you 'cause you were just annoying. But then we started talking about it in this post, [http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000223.html](http://www.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum5/HTML/000223.html) and decided that it was a bit harsh. That maybe you meant well, but didn’t know the rules…hell, I even agreed with that. But then you go and create this thread. If you had been paying attention, you should have realized that most posters here were giving you another chance…and what do you do?..Whine…which is just **not** allowed. If you want to be a regular here, and have people listen to your opinions, or help out with a _serious_ question, then you have to be able to take the criticism as well as the praise. Without tucking your tail between your legs, pouting in a corner, and stating that from your lofty pinicle of …what, 14 years?..you don’t think our posts are interesting. Oh, and let’s not forget your “buddy” Mister\_RogersAWC That just posted the enlightened question about all the words that end in -a. Do you two get together and try and find ways to demonstrate your stupidity? I earnestly recomend that you both sit back, lurk awhile longer, and when you do rejoin us, keep your smart-ass teenage comments in check. You both have the _potential_ to fit in, if you think about what you’re doing **before** you post. And while I’m at it. Kilroy, you’re immaturity speaks for itself. As does your spelling, grammer, and lack of vocabulary demonstrated by your inability to use anything other than foul language. I’m not sure which of the annoying trolls you are (under a different name) but it really doesn’t matter. You’re ignorance shines through whatever screen name you choose to reveal you for the complete and utter moron you are.
