Bo, gimme your lunch money.
There’s bullying for ya.
That’s right - SB is the quarry here. In The Pit, which may also be a quarry for all we know. We have querulously queried the quarry in the quarry.
Snowboarder Bo annoys continuously with his stale joke over many months. It does not seem outlandish to bring his behavior up for review in the pit every few years. Quite reasonable, not disproportionate at all.
Accountability. That’s what we’re discussing here.
We get a lot whining on this message board: many complain to the moderators about issues that don’t matter very much. If this thread was about moderating Snowboarder Bo, that would be whining IMO. The issue was hashed years ago.
Complaints regarding the treatment of bigots? No, that’s a real issue, and I say that as one who has advocated the free speech side of the discussion. Not whining. Not at all.
Just award? Just award? Sir, I will have you know that Mr. Dibble earned that spot. There may be talented amateurs battling for second place, but Mr. Dibble is the goddamned Muhammad Ali of fatuous sanctimony.
I can live with that.
“This space for rent”?
Ahh, I finally have the words to correctly describe the type of people I keep meeting in DC. Thank you.
So you know that it annoys a bunch of us, people think less of you for it but you continue because of that?
Or rather you continue because of that?
Serious question, why do you feel compelled to continue using it?
It think it’s annoying. I think you are childish for continuing its use knowing the reaction it causes but…
I would not have cared enough to post in this thread that opinion. However your hilarious cries of BULLYING! are enough to get me to post here. Bo really, I get you are butt hurt but bullying? Really? What a maroon.
I think both your names are annoying; why don’t you change them?
OK, I have my answer. I asked in a reasonable manner and got the same level of response that my four-year-old uses.
Have you ever seen a 4 year old in the sandbox? They scoop all the sand into their corner and selfishly refuse to compromise or share. But they are 4, not 50. You expect more from a 50 something individual with respect to compromise and sharing.
Not then, not then. It was a reasonable matter for mod attention. As for now, part of it was a clarification of calibration.
TokyoBayer: “So you know that it annoys a bunch of us, people think less of you for it but you continue because of that?” Basically, yeah. Discussed back in 2012 in ATMB. The fact that he hasn’t retired this now decrepit joke suggests stubborness or trolling. Can’t rule out the latter. Some of his fans have more or less explicitly admired the trollery after all.
So you weren’t really asking, then? You were demanding that I stop?
Hi again, Bo. 
I’m hoping my suggestion was a reasonable one. Any thoughts on that? Any reply will be appreciated.
When my username annoys as many people as your “joke” does, I’ll happily do so.
ETA: I’ll make a deal with you, I’ll change my username if you’ll agree to never use your phrase again.
Howdy faithfool!
Part of what I think is funny is the total non-sequitur nature of it. In the story that Chessic Sense posted, that was the whole point was that the boss could not figure out what was going on and why this weird phrase kept popping up when he tried to text.
So I just type like I normally would, and my device inserts the phrase, and I just keep typing. It isn’t even something I do consciously, so when I go back to read what I wrote, I chuckle every time I see it, especially when it’s in the middle of a sentence of phrase. It’s so unexpected, so out of place… it’s like the penguin on top of the television exploding or a gorilla walking through a basketball game to me. It’s the abrupt absurdity that generates the chuckle, not the phrase itself.
So, in response to your suggestion, I must respectfully decline.
I respectfuly decline your offer. It was an offer, right?
I see. As I said before, I appreciate your consideration.
