Several fedoras, actual, but no trenchcoat. Sorry. But if you like I’ll try and get one. Would that help?
Sure, you guys are flaming me like crazy, but I am here to take it. **Where’s the Beef? **
Obvious possibilities include working, spending time with actual human beings in the real world, attending to real-life needs, sleeping, reading threads he(?) might actually find worth the time…
You know, a mentally healthy adult, when faced with a message board thread he/she finds uninteresting/annoying, will in most cases pick the simplest method of coping: DON’T READ THAT THREAD! There is certainly no shortage of traffic on this board, it should be quite easy to find enough to read without making an infantile nuisance of oneself deliberately ruining the enjoyment of others for the sake of puffing up an obviously already badly over-inflated ego.
Sycophants? We’re not sycophants. I’ve had run-ins with SenorBeef before; while I really appreciate his contributions to the board, we’re not like BFFs or anything.
No, it’s not about him. It’s about you. Now you’re trying to hang your hat on your amazing courage, the courage it takes to post something on an anonymous messageboard.
If that’s your standard for courageous, well, that, too says something about you.
True, it’s not all that brave. Which makes Senor beef’s cowardice even that much more amazing.
**Where’s the Beef? **
Meltdown on aisle 5!
Dude, it has nothing to do with bravery. It’s not brave, and failing to answer your imbecilic natterings isn’t cowardice. Frankly, it’s wisdom, and my responding to you is a sign of my own foolishness.
Yeah, I really don’t think he’s avoiding the thread (if he’s even aware of it) because of fear.
All this being said, I think tonight I’m going to stop at the grocery store and pick up the stuff for hamburgers. I’ve got a sudden hankering.
The reason SenorBeef isn’t replying is because he knows it is nothing more than a waste of time to try to reason with DrDeth. If he was to reply, he would be feeding the troll, like we all responding to DrDeth are.
I’d think somebody with such a hard-on for swords & sorcery would have a better understanding of what constitutes “cowardice”. Then again, maybe when you’re so invested in fantasy real life adult motivations aren’t your strong suit.
I will give you props for figuring out how to copy & paste, though.
I’m going to suggest to all Game of Thrones (no spoilers!) thread readers that they might want to just put DrDeth on their ignore lists for the time being. At this point, I wouldn’t put it past him to just post a bunch of serious spoilers in an effort to show us how big his internet dick is.
Well, I am stuck because I have already made an oath to never put anyone on ignore on a message board that fights ignorance. But yeah, if he was on any other board whose main mission is not to figt ignorance, I would put him on ignore too.
Cojones!
What kind of oath was it? Did you put your hand on a bible or slice open your hand or anything?
:sing song voice:
Left Hand and Beef sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love.
Then comes marriage.
Then comes Dr. Deth in a baby carriage.
:sing song voice:
Yep. He’d never respond to me.
“For fucks sake, no one mention the word “book” in these threads ever again. You add nothing to the discussion and you just fucking open it up to stupid squabbling again. THE BOOKS DO NOT EXIST IN THESE THREADS, stop talking about them in any context, and stop trying to argue the policy. "
Totally not him. There’s a couple long words in there. But that ‘all caps’ thing there, that *does *sound like him. Hmmm…
**Where’s the Beef? **
BTW, this Purina Troll Chow is deee-lish! thanks!
Perhaps he learned his lesson.
This, too, does not grow more clever or more intelligent the more you say it. Your plan to mock him until he shows up is about the most pitiful thing I’ve seen all day, and I’ve been editing children’s letters to their moms for Mother’s Day.
Jimmies status: unruffled.
This is pretty much the problem: you think your whiny shitfit and your efforts to annoy people are “standing up for your convictions” and “crusading for knowledge.” They’re not. You’re being a pompous dick to people and calling it moral superiority. Almost as bad, you’re being a huge snob by acting like reading a fantasy book is evidence of some kind of evolved intelligence. It isn’t.
This is also phony moral superiority. And calling something you decided to do by yourself an oath is very silly.
Just today? Hell, I was aiming for most pitiful thing of the week, damn those kids.
Still, he ain’t here.
I’m trying to imagine how someone with 20k posts and Charter Membership on the SDMB could embarrass himself more, and, really, I got nothing.*
This is it folks, the real deal. It doesn’t matter that DrDeth has about as valid a point of view as the Westboro Baptist church: he is pure clown. The only problem is that it’s getting boring, a court jester laughing maniacally but with only one “joke.”
*Ok, I suppose he could clumsily spoof a mod email to SenorBeef threatening him with banning. He does have that left.
