People who inconvenience, annoy or disagree with me lack the intelligence to perform simple tasks. They should be murdered horribly after suffering painful and humiliating torture. Something disgusting then should be done with their bodies. ---

Something disgusting then should be done with their bodies. \*\* I agree !!! mostly … Fools who cannot do the most basic of tasks, such as fuck off when they are being irritating pussmongers, do not deserve to so much as lick the festering remains of their followers from my bootheels, where they had been recently crushed. That said, however, I have no problem with people disagreeing with me (did I spell that right??). Disagreement leads to debate, which leads to an intelligent exchange of thoughts and ideas (usually), which leads to me having a great understanding and appreciation for the world around me. Unless the cumcoated fucknut simply says “No, you are wrong.”. In which case see above. ---

Expressed disdain toward people who DID NOT GET joke. Referral to said peope as felchers of some mammal. Proclamation that this poster thinks cranial-rectal inversion has taken place. ---

Quick mention that poster is aware of the spelling of “people”. generic rant rating, scale of 0-10. ---

Me either. Please, fill us in on the humor that we idiots are so obtusely overlooking. ---

Sarcastic admission of poor manners in attempting humor before accumulating a sufficient post count (preferably in MPSIMS and/or posting suck-ups to revered members). ---

Observtion that poster got the joke right away and pompous disdain for other posters who did not. Snotty dismissal of other posters’ sensitivity and defensiveness. Eyerolling. * * * _Signature line involving a quote from a prominent pop-culture source._ ---

Oh. Brutal lambasting of newbie for trying something that only a seasoned poster should try. Equating of OP’s post count and IQ. ---
