The reason certain board members get attacked by so many others is simply because the messageboard is dedicated to fighting ignorance and some people _will_ persist in wearing their “Team Dumbass” jerseys.

That’s simply not true. If you want to believe GIGO’s explanation, go right ahead but don’t try to tell me I’m objectively wrong about it and refuse to accept it. Anyway, that’s the last from me on the subject.

The most likely explanation, when people are shitting on your head, is that you’re swimming in a toilet.

You know you’re doing something right when you’ve triggered the libtards … eh?

Time and again I see this used as some sort of weird badge of honour among the right-wingers.

Nah, Nazis were better dressed, had better standards.

@FigNorton would love to be a Nazi, but they won’t have him.

That’s why he white knights for @Sam_Stone stone so much, he thinks that Sam will put a good word for him at the next party meeting. Little does he know that Mr. Stone is only invited to the Nazi meetings as a patsy, a useful idiot that they can all feel superior to as they send him back out to spew his hate and bile.

But they can have eachother. Two morons who think that people holding their nose in disgust means that they were right to take a shit in the middle of the IHOP.

Well, I would just love @k9bfriender to show a single example of my Nazi wannabe behavior. He seems to think he really knows me but has thrown completely unhinged-from-reality caricatures of me a couple times now.

Apparently you were not able to tell that I was joking either.

Nazis don’t actually have standards. All you need is a tiki torch and hatred for anyone who isn’t like you.

And you don’t have a Tiki torch.

I don’t know you from Adam, but my doth you protest much.

Maybe it’s about time for you to get that Tiki torch.

Don’t know me from Adam yet you accuse me of being in a long line of “trocks” and are also confident none of my supposed past logins ever said “sorry”?

And where’s that cite on me being a wannabe Nazi? Do you typically fling out that comment to people you don’t know from Adam? Oh wait, it was a joke. Right.

Being really keen on “standards” is sort of the Nazis’ biggest thing.
