That still wouldn’t have made “let’s go down to the creek and chuck gumballs in!” funny. And even if it had somehow been funny, it would have been a funny-once. Definitely not a ‘funny the 137th time’ thing. I realize **tomndebb** had to [give **Blank Slate** a warning](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18710821&postcount=187) in the Elections forum for [telling **Bo**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18706350&postcount=177) “You know, you could just go to the quarry and throw yourself in. Nobody else wants to go and you’re rather keen, so why not?”, but I sure wish he could have pretended to have not seen it. Because gotta admit, I was with **Blank Slate** all the way on that sentiment. ---

People do this sort of thing. Some observers find it amusing, while others aren’t so amused. Tolerance varies. But rebuking a fellow poster because of an overused _non sequitur_ -on a discussion board- isn’t bullying. **Bo** actually reminds me of this guy I know in his mid-50s, gauche but basically harmless, just really socially maladept and hugely into his sci-fi, every time we met he’d blurt out “May the Force be with you” and scurry his room to watch Doctor Who. I was always a bit nonplussed about how to be friendly with him, but then I took to answering him with “Hail Ming!”, and he fucking lit up and then we could chat. So, **Bo** , Hail Ming! ---

Definitely not a ‘funny the 137th time’ thing. If you do a search, you find out that it’s 211 times, not 137. Since I did that search at the start of this thread, and he’s done it several more times, here, the number has probably gone up a bit. There _is_ such a thing as ‘carrying a joke too far’, but he’s too much of an idiot to understand that concept. Pat him on the head, and recognize his obvious mental disfunction, and ignore the fool. It’s all he deserves. Now I’m guilty of bullying him. I think I can live with myself, regardless. ---
