> [@digs](#): > > Sorry, but it’s never occurred to me that supposed adults would stoop to playing a game of “My messageboard’s better than yours --na na na boo boo!” Andromeda, our closest celestial neighbor, has a forum dedicated to just that. Mostly it’s about kids complaining about having their lunch money taken, being locked in their locker with their undies pulled over their heads or ignored by their classmates. Stuff like that. They call it In your face, or, in your back, or something like that. ---

Hmm. He constructs a cryptic username from three dubious qualities that he claims do not describe him. At the same, he implies that he’s been so effective at projecting a persona that _does_ possess those qualities that he and his irl friends derive hours of mirthful merriment enjoying the rich contrast between that persona and the warm, generous avatar of virtue and All-American can-do-itiveness that they all know him to be. Then he puts that persona on his shoulder, like the mother of all (buffalo) chips, and saunters in here and dasts us to knock it off. No thanks, **DickTurdGuy** , I’ma take a pass. ---

We are cited by no lesser authorities than wiki & xkcd. Admittedly not very often. But that’s enough for me to say that at our best we’re pretty darn good. Our worst is another story. 😃 Just like it says at the bottom of every page: “Your direct line to thousands of the smartest, hippest people on the planet, plus a few total dipsticks.” ---
