“too long; didn’t read” makes \* a lot\* more senes than “too laconic; don’t run.” WTF would “too laconic;don’t run” even mean? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by singular1 \* > \*\*OK, these last four replies completely lost me. Translation? \*\* With pleasure. “tl;dr” = too long, didn’t read. Posting that after a long thread completely negates the point of the original poster and is disrespectful. Bannable offense. “what” = One-word answers are the equivalent of forums diarrhea. You can ask what in the hell the OP meant to say, but just a “what” (or macro just saying “what”) is bannable. “omg b&” = shorthand for “oh my god, banned”. Used by armchair moderators. “way to rage against the machine there, chief” = a parody of satirization of young suburban angsty teenagers who find solace in Rage Against the Machine, The Cure, and other such funk/rap/metal bands. My name is Bivens, and I’ve been a goon since June 23, 2003. Y’all run a pretty tight ship here 🆒 ---
