Gratuitous usage of shit, piss, fuck, motherfucker, tits, cocksucker, and cunt.
Longwinded whine about the unfairness of moderators and the cliquish solidarity of other Dopers.
Question as to why Poster was banned.

Obligatory questioning of the OP’s sanity and ability to write a post.
Generous spicing of post with obscenities, 50% of the total made-up-on-the-spot.
Some remarks about whining and troublemaking added as an afterthought.

Lengthy quotation, in bold and with underlining, of the OP’s second post.
A derogatory revisiting of the OP’s posting history, complete with bloopers.
Some questions as to why OP is so concerned with “The Banned”, anyway. Facetious pop reference inserted for good measure.

Feelings of ennui.
Idea that “Facetious Pop Reference” might have utility as a band name.

Totally unrelated point made for no reason, probably claiming that the OP is disgustingly deviant. Need to explain religious convictions. Don’t forget to mention that it was someone else’s idea and I was only obeying orders.
Forget to add tip.

Snide comment to **Fenris** insinuating that his delay in posting time correlates to an inability to process information quickly.
Second snide comment made comparing this favorably to an unmentioned poster-in-thread’s complete inability to read for comprehension.
[sub]Left unposted: Forehead smacking to self IRL for failing to make the point as well as Fenris did.[/sub]

Appeal to emotion. Emphasis. Anger. Chest beating assurance that Poster will leave board and never return.

Followed by disbelieve that we should be so lucky.
