I don’t usually explain anything to hostile people, because hey, what’s the point? But …

It’s why the title has “also other crap” in it.

Deal with it.

This thread is too stupid to live.

I could understand leve, or lave even, leav also would make sense, but what kind of drunken asshat spells “leave” as “live”, and then tries to use lack of intelligence as the basis of his attempted burn?

Internets, populated by everyone, dominated by the stupid.

:rolleyes: Ohhhhh - “deal with it” - I’m crushed by your witty and incisive comeback.

The reason this is called a _message board_ is because there are forums and separate threads for discussing different topics. My point in my earlier response to you was that _if you want people to actually read and respond to your posts_ then you might want to consider not posting in a manner that makes you look mentally deficient.

The irony!

No, you got your self. It’s one reason not to get hammered before posting.

😃

It’s OK, but when you try to burn somebody, check for fucking typos first. Seriously. It ruins an effort to tell somebody they are stupid if you do something stupid while trying to do it.

To FXMastermind, this thread is open for everything and anything he chooses to rant about. It’s his own personal blog.

Only an very small-brained idiot thinks a typo is evidence of stupidity.

Yeah, but at least now you are editing yours out. It’s all good.

As for the usual bullshit about “it’s a blog”, or whatever the idiocy of the moment is, I usually don’t respond to trolling. It only encourages idiots, they think they matter if you respond to them.

Every single person, even the weird as shit anonymous style Borg post, every single person makes an honest attempt to converse, I respond in kind. If you are only a flame spewing shitbag, and I ignore you, well, deal with it.

The title of this thread is “Rantings about stupid nuclear reporting, and I want to bitchslap somebody, also other crap”

“also other crap” modifies “and I want to bitchslap someone” meaning that that subject matter of this thread is solely concerning nuclear reporting; however, your reaction to it ranges from bitchslapping to other crap.  
Should you have desired to expand your rant beyond its original scope, you should have thought of modifying it to “Rantings about stupid nuclear reporting and other crap, and I want to bitchslap somebody” 9 months and 1450 posts ago when you created this abomination of a thread. But you didn’t.

Deal with it.
