OK, _everyone_ give me your glasses. I’ve got a shoebox I’ll store them in.

I bet several million quatloos against the newcomer. 'Tis a pity; she showed great promise.

She could be a great poster if she’d just mellow out a little.

Sure.

1. Take everyone’s glasses.
2. ???
3. Profit!

No question marks needed for step 2.

1. Want your glasses back? That’ll be $100. Shame you can’t see well enough to retrieve them yourself. 🙂

Wasn’t there a little angry chicken on the Saturday morning cartoons? Always getting mad and spouting off? [This guy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henery_Hawk) (turns out he’s a chicken hawk.) I could be thinking of Daffy Duck though.

Henery the Hawk sure had a lot of moxie. He was always trying to catch Foghorn Leghorn and have him for dinner, even though ol’ Foggy was about 10 times his size.

For someone who doesn’t want attention, you certainly spend a lot of time (a) complaining about being maligned on this board, (b) complaining about being accused of complaining, (c) denying that you were complaining, and (d) averaging nearly 17 posts a day doing that sort of thing. If you did a little bit of backing off yourself, you’d be a more pleasant poster. On the bright side, there are a few specimens infesting this board that make you look positively saintly by comparison, but that shouldn’t be anyone’s benchmark.

There is only one thing worse than being maligned on this board… and that is _not_ being maligned on this board.

I’d like to register a complaint; no one’s noticed me enough to malign me. I mean, come onnnnn, eighteen years of being quietly annoying, just under the threshold where someone might remember me, and what do I get? Zilcho Nada Bupkis!

Try getting under the skin of a troll so they pit you. That happened to me earlier this year and it was _glorious_.

15 years on this board and I’ve been pitted once. For being anti-Nazi.

I ain’t complaining. You have me confused with someone else. I stated facts and asked questions. Who has problem with that? Little puppy got his feelings hurt. Is there a limit to how many posts per day? See that was a question. That is how things work, ask and you get answers.

You were pitted twice for it. My thread and [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=834183](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=834183)

You know, what I said was mostly in fun, but in all humor there is an underlying truth. You really do come on like a ton of bricks. Your one short post here has multiple examples:

“Little puppy got his feelings hurt.” Gratuitous insult that achieves zero purpose.

“Is there a limit to how many posts per day?” Annoying and blatant straw man, since no one said there was. Posts per day was an indicator of _ **your** _ particular proclivities, which contradicted the claims you were making about said proclivities. Yes, you care so little about attention and what anyone thinks of you that it wouldn’t surprise me if you were up half the night telling us about it.

“See that was a question.” Gratuitous assertion that your fellow poster is dumber than a brick.

“That is how things work, ask and you get answers.” That’s probably the best one, consistent with many of your posts. There’s nothing like a newbie poster who’s been here less than two weeks explaining to the rest of us how things are supposed to work here.

Having said that, I hope you calm down and become a great contributor to the board. You seem to have potential.

Now that I think about it, Henery the miniature tough-talking Chicken Hawk is just about perfect. 🙂
