It seems that [Themis](http://www.pantheon.org/articles/t/themis.html)00 is nothing like her namesake. (Too bad the Gospels do not provide names for any of the girls in the Parable of the Foolish Virgins.) ---

**Themis00** , you need to shut the fuck up. Right now. Because you have dug yourself into so deep a hole that nothing short of posting a workable solution to the problem of world hunger will ever get you out. You obviously have not read any of the FAQ, nor any of the stickies so helpfully posted at the top of each forum, in which posting rules for each forum are provided. You keep starting pointless, useless threads in some pathetic attempt to get attention. On this point, you’ve gotten your wish. Congratulations! You’re now officially the most annoying poster on the board. How does it feel? You are an idiot. Worse, you are an unrepentant idiot. Worse still, you’re not even a creative or original idiot. This board is not a chat room. It is not a live journal. It is not a forum in which every piss-sucking loon with a single thought rolling noisily about in his dented, hydrocephalic cranium is invited to share his drooling, pre-cognate “thoughts”. Please. Get a clue. No one here gives a fuck about your username, your sexual proclivities, or how intelligent you think you are. Your posts have already proven what a complete waste of vital organs you are. You go to college? You know about Greek mythology? Great. I’m sure you’re a credit to the group home. May this knowledge serve you well in your future life, which you will doubtless spend wondering why everyone you come into contact with begins vomiting uncontrollably at the mere sound of your voice. Many here, myself included, have attempted to help you along the way to becoming a good poster, or at least, a poster who does not automatically cause everyone else on the board to cringe at the sight of your name in a thread. But you have chosen to ignore all this advice, and instead continue with your sad little bid to get the most attention possible while simultaneously inspiring lasting hatred in everyone who reads your garbage. I am not questioning your intelligence. What would be the point, since you’ve already answered whatever question may have lingered: you are breath-takingly stupid. I am not questioning your sanity, since after all, one must first have a mind in order to lose it. I am, however, seriously questioning the genetic relationship of your parents, and wondering why you persist in posting after it has been made abundantly clear to you that doing so will only win you further ridicule and loathing. In short, go away. Come back when you have evolved further, perhaps after acquiring something more useful to your purpose than the wizened stump of a brain-stem you are currently attempting to function with. Good day. ---

**Themis00** , good luck on fixing that stuck caps key. So you’ve taken the name of an old Greek who had the goddess of justice gig for awhile and then took a job as one of the oracles at Delphi, essentially an ancient version of Miss Cleo. There’s a whoop-de-do. It would have been more interesting if you’d named yourself after Chrysothemis, daughter of Agamemnon and Clytemnestra. Or after “Khrysothemis of Krete, whose father Karmanor is said to have purified Apollon.” -Pausanias 10.7.2 When you come right down to it, however, who gives a rat’s ass? ---

**ratty** , as usual, has expressed my feelings better than I could have. **Themis00** , read her advice. Especially the bit about shutting up and reading forum rules. I’m gonna close this thread. **Themis00** , the primary rule of The Straight Dope Message Board is “don’t be a jerk”. Your behavior today is distinctly jerk-like. I’m thinking of removing your privileges. Contribute something MEANINGFUL to this message board, or leave it. Lynn For the Straight Dope ---

Themis was not a Greek goddess; Themis was a ‘titaness’, in charge of teaching us poor mortals how to be peaceful and obey the law. ---

Lynn Bodone read my first 15 or so posts. They are entirely different from the most recent ones. I was nice to everyone. I didn’t start being a bitch until I got rude replies this morning. What’s person to do when someone is slinging s\*\*\* in your face? I will behave myself…if everyone leaves me alone. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Themis00 \* > **I didn’t start being a bitch** If that’s your “bitch” mode, you’ve got a lot of work to do on it.
