[QUOTE=What Exit?] Can I just comment that \*\*ralph124c \*\* is the dumbest long term poster on the entire board. [/QUOTE] What, I don’t even get _considered_ for the position? Fuck, dude. I thought we were friends. ---

[QUOTE=WhyNot] Aw, don’t worry, **Giraffe**! We hate you, too! No, we don’t. Suck it up, bitch. [/QUOTE] Then there’s the part where some noname poster comes along and proclaims “So and so wins the thread!” (or rates the OP) in a pathetic attempt to up their post count. WhyNot wins the thread! _cough, cough_ ---

[QUOTE=DudleyGarrett] **Justin Bailey** , smelling OPer blood, will call the OPer a fucking idiot, just to get a kick in. But he’s never the first. He sits back and waits to see in which direction the thread will go, then he’ll chime in. [/QUOTE] I guess I’ve waited long enough to chime in you fucking idiot. Although actually, I just saw this thread now and I think it’s always nice to be remembered. But I still think you’re a fuckwit 90% of the time. ---

[QUOTE=DudleyGarrett] **mhendo/RickJay/whoever else that likes to show how smart they are** will write dissertations, complete with footnotes and bibliographies explaining why the OP is wrong. It’s usually a pretty convincing argument, but sometimes their diatribes are misplaced and inappropriate. [/QUOTE] 1. Fuck you. ---

[QUOTE=featherlou] This is a silly thread. Of course people who have been around for a long time have somewhat predictable characteristics. If you’re going to get mad at anyone, get mad at the lurkers who suck up all of our humour and attempts at brilliance and contribute nothing. Bastards.

And **Green Bean** writes a long and detailed post, exhaustively discussing all of the possible ramifications of all of the issues being dealt with in the thread and some other issues too, and upon proofreading it, says “aw, fuck it,” deletes it, and goes off to post in a thread about Project Runway or something. ---

[QUOTE=Giraffe] Wait, when did **fluiddruid** become the mean one? I’m rude! I make fun of people! I close threads like they’re full of three-week old mayonnaise and I’ve got a hot date on the way over! ::kicks dirt:: This is _bullshit_! :mad: ::sulks:: [/QUOTE] You know, come to think of it, you’re absolutely right.

[QUOTE=DudleyGarrett] Yes, and the OP I wrote was clearly inside that 144-minute daily window where I’m NOT a fuckwit. [/QUOTE] That’s interesting. I interpreted **Justin\_Bailey** ’s post to mean that you are a fuckwit 100% of the time, but he only thinks of you as one 90% of the time. The other 10% he thinks you’re a dickweed. Maybe I’m over-thinking this. ---
