Shut up and read, octopus, and you might learn something

I’m so glad you posted in the Pit, because it gives me the opportunity to say that IMHO your comments contribute exactly nothing to the discussions on the SDMB. That includes all of them.

Whoa, didn’t expect you to slam Starving Artist like that!

Deleted a bunch of stuff because it turns out that vinyl turnip was onto something when he said that bit about starting to not give a shit.

So you (thelmalou… reminds me of a cow instead of a girl) don’t like my posts. Fine.

What is it about reading ‘rah rah rah’ that you enjoy?

I think it’s about octopus telling a joke, somebody saying it wasn’t funny, and octopus being VERY VERY VERY VERY determined to prove it was, while most people would just shrug and try again elsewhere.

What Hewey’s on about, I’ve no idea.

And again the newbie seems awfully familiar with the neighborhood.

Yet again.

Have a better argument?

I have a conclusion. You’re a sock puppet.

It’s me, isn’t it?

Are there other VT admirers I don’t know about?

I’d say he was very, very, very, very determined to prove it wasn’t offensive or insensitive in the context of that thread. Most of the participants in that thread seem to agree with him.

Listen, I’ve seen people threadshit all over rape threads. I don’t think he came close.

eh, VT’s kinda funny.

HeweyLewey’s just loud and annoying.

I have a conclusion - you’re a knob.

No doubt that conclusion is based on your intimate familiarity with my 14 years of posting history here. (Because you’re a sock puppet.)

Either way, it’s not going to get any funnier and/or more inoffensive with further discussion.
And Hewey’s at the “I know you are, but what I am?” level now, or something.

Have you guys been feeding Hewey McSockface at the table again?

What is it that’s so hard to understand with a group of you? I’ve read here for a while, after finding an article linked here I found interesting. More interested still I started reading the boards. It’s been a while now, reading but not saying anything. I decided to post and then after that comment on what I’ve seen here - a bunch of people are complete assholes and blowhards, in an otherwise cool board, I participated in a couple of threads.

You don’t think that’s normal? Are you so insulated and protected against everything that the idea of someone joining this board that doesn’t necessarily agree with you is unheard of?

The arrogance is amazing.

What I don’t believe is someone who in his first few posts ever on the boards knows other posters so well and is completely comfortable with making broad, personal insults about them like someone who has interacted with them extensively. It’s not believable that a real, new poster does that. That’s not normal.

A new poster can be tentative and held back. Or a new poster can be wild and insulting on a broad, general level. But a new poster who has never interacted with people does not make insults that suggest long-term familiarity. That’s not normal.

I’m abnormal? Fuck!

Girlfriends were right.

I don’t get (honestly) why people have a problem with knowing a tendency in a message board, and people within it who suck.

Read a year and you’ll know.

I disagree with things I read here. I explain it and talk about it. The fucking point of a message board.
