Skipmagic, That was a cheap parting shot.

(“literally” in this context means “literally,” not “figuratively”

Are you sure it doesn’t mean “physically”?

Possibly even “spiritually.” It was a good chuckle.

@kidchameleon

Well, I’m unaware of any of our Mods being in a liquid, gasseous or plasma state. Perhaps you can enlighten me.

Now that it was brought up, I don’t get this one at all. Can anyone explain (using only high-school physics)?

[lisacurl]

It’s taken the mods way too long to deal with VCO3.

What do you mean? Timing was impeccable. Right after he renewed. What’s the point of banning someone whose membership is about to expire?

Ah. Those stupid Europeans!

Bahaha, calm down, freak.

For those who don’t speak Brit – a courgette is a zucchini on this side of the pond.

and chili powder refers to cayenne pepper, not the stuff that is sold as “chili powder” over here.

To be honest, part of me feels bad for calling him a racist and pushing him to go the “No, I really do like black people!” route. I wonder if I didn’t play a part in this . . . .

If you forced him to type the first sentence in this OP then, yes, you’re entirely complicit.

The thread was closed because VCO3 could no longer defend himself.

Which, of course, is why you chose to post: “I hope the door hits you on the way out. You will be missed like a hairy zit on my back” once you knew that he had been suspended.

Not only do you lack a sense of humour, you also lack credibility. :rolleyes:

Yeah, well, what I really want to know is, what’s the trick to picking up Persian girls.

Just out of curiosity, doesn’t SkipMagic’s post-ban needling of VCO3 kind of cast doubt that it’s really Dope policy to not attack those who can’t fight back?

Did you even bother to read the post you linked to?

[Boozahol_Squid_P.I]

@Q.E.D.

Yes, I did. Skip explains the post that started this thread… and then links to that Onion article.
Or does that not count as a ‘swipe’? It sure seemed like it to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I think Skip was right for closing VCO3’s thread. I’ve got no beef with the guy… but the “I didn’t insult him, but if I was going, this is what I’d say” is a little hypocritical. Or, in this case, a little cowardly.

ETA: all right… and pretty fucking funny, too. But hypocritical as well.

1. I thought the joke was hilarious
2. More importantly, I thought the joke was unprofessional.
3. My opinion of VCO3 stands.
4. I did not start this thread to attack VCO3… please stick to the topics at hand: Soup recipes and questioning my sense of humor.

Thank you.

[Lok]

I would like everyone to stop posting the recipes. Because some of them look really good and I am a lousy cook! mmm, vindaloo. 6 AM and I want Indian food.

Wombat meat? Where the hell do you get wombat meat? I didn’t see that on a menu when I was in Australia and they eat their coat of arms.

Well I disagree with you on point (2), but you sure showed grace and tolerance at the deliberate hijack of your thread; good showing.

[Cervaise]

Agreed. While I disagree with the argument, I have to say that this:

shows class and, definitely, a sense of humor. I grant you props, kudos, scratch and sniff stickers, etc.

Mods have POWER. Mods can do whatever the hell they wanna do.

Power corrupts unless you happen to be a mod.

Mods are incorruptible. Or is it uncorruptable? Or should I say, Mods cannot be corrupted. Or wrong, either.

She was the 6th Spice Girl, the one who they called “the hot one.” She thought she could do better on her own, and now runs the till at a Waitrose’s in Exeter. Still, it’s a better career than some of the other girls have now…
