Snowboarder Bo: Enough with the fucking quarry

I think faithfool’s post explains some for the first part.

In some fora here there are actual conversations taking place, and stuff like that does function like someone farting loudly for kicks during a conversation, or someone sitting in front of you at a movie theater with a hat on. Again, a fart might not bother me too much (I work with kids, they don’t), but I really do not want to be part of an adult conversation with someone who thinks that farting for fun during a conversation is appropriate, nor willingly subject myself to those who would keep up farting for their self-amusement when told that others around them find it distracting to the conversation they are trying to have.

The annoyance itself is to me at least extremely minor. The fact he is being such a putz in his response to the fact that many (not just one or two very sensitive souls) find dealing with his tic to be distracting and annoying is what makes me feel that the occasional Pitting is at least justifiable, and his saying he is being bullied is just very pathetic.

Part of what had, for years, made this board an attractive place for some of us had been that jerky behavior was allowed but contained to the Pit. If you wanted actual conversations about subjects you could go to other fora and not have to deal with people intentionally being assholes, but actually be part of conversations, sometimes ones that challenged your preconceptions, made you defend your perspectives and sometimes changed them. Maybe I am getting old, maybe it is a reflection of society, but more and more this board seems to be occupied with more and more posters acting like assholes all over the place. Not to a level that warrants moderation, or Pitting, but not people actually interested in having discussions, in listening to each other, people more interested in getting away with being annoying asshats and patting themselves on the back. Shit people, go to your room if all you want to do is pleasure yourselves.

TLDNR? Posters being needlessly annoying for no reason other than the giggle that they can be produces disrupts conversation. It adds up. There are lots of places to go to have “I can out obnox the other guy” non-conversations. I’d like these boards to be one place that is not.

I notice how you write down some homily, followed by “can you really not know that?” Do you really not realize how idiotic that is?

I’m beginning to think Snowboarder Bo is a walking Rube Goldberg contraption, one that is wired for the occasional explosion. So far we’ve got one vic cast into the force receptacle and 2 additional warnings ladled out in this thread alone. Will Bo be the only one left standing after the quarry apocalypse?

I hope you’re satisfied Bo!

That’s actually fairly interesting. I suppose there a more that few categories that can trigger annoyance. Tuneless humming annoys because it is difficult to ignore and therefore leads to pointless attention towards the perp. If the perp knows he is being annoying, then the pair are locked in a dominance game and the situation escalates. That’s when annoyance intensifies. I suspect that’s what brings the situation to the pit.

Personally, I probably wouldn’t notice if I hadn’t defended the guy back in 2012. (Sort of - I haven’t re-read my posts from back then. “Sympathetic critique” might be a better characterization.) For the moment my take is that a pitting of such behavior every couple of years helps maintain posting standards.

Community-shmamoonity. We’re here to fight ignorance. Well, not exactly. It’s more like keeping karma in balance. I guess the next step is mockery.

  1. No entity will be permitted to post who does not possess a navel.
  2. There is no rule number 2.

If someone uses a catchphrase a couple of times, it’s possible to look past it and actually read what the person’s saying. But when the person goes on and on with meaningless buzzwords well, then, I find it hard not to ignore their content. Ain’t nobody got time for pointless catchphrases. I mean, hey, I don’t always Carpe Diem around once in life, but when I do, I synergize that win-win 110% zero-sum game up to eleven! Yo to the Lo! Hey, it is what it is. Our best-in-class, leveraged, 24/7 paradigm enhances the dotted lines. Look, I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, our to-the-max assets credibly strategize our progressive technologies from the get-go and uber-manage our supply-chains. I don’t always say Whassssssup! But, dawg, when I do, the key people interactively incentivize a centralized respect up-front. A literally literal efficiency inspires the resources, and our cascading and balanced continuity strategically incentivizes the gatekeeper, while our fine swag literally visualizes our measurements. Dy-no-mite! An evolutionary efficiency expediently motivates the awesome steering committee. I don’t always say That’s What She Said… But, damn, when I do, the customers rebalance our productive unknown unknowns. I don’t always say The Bird Is The Word, but, dude, when I do, my milkshake brings all the Corporate Re-Branders to the yard, and boosts inspiring solutions within the organization. Our new, constructive, totally rad case study genuinely synergizes a core, medium-to-long-term and improved correlation, while the key stakeholders build the business models. YOLO! Hey, I don’t always say Dy-no-mite! But, homie, when I do, the message transforms the team players; the human resources embrace a well-communicated role-building ahead of schedule. Transparent total groove collaborations seamlessly influence non-standard footprints; this is why the enablers engineer the diversifying correlation. I don’t always YOLO, but when I do, Vern, solutions-based leadership strategies streak across the cornerstone, message and skill empower the stake-holders. Know what I mean, Vern? Swag and style standardizes a system. I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, the key people engineer a high-margin escalation. As a result, the steering committee formulates our sign-offs. Our evolutionary cost savings empower the Chief Technical Officer. I don’t always say That’s What She Said… But, damn, when I do, the enablers flesh out the technology in this space, whereas the Chief Internal Audit Officer reaches out a long-established flow charting. I don’t always YOLO, but when I do, my milkshake brings all the actionable projects synergizing to the yard. I’ll admit, I don’t always say Up Your Nose With A Rubber Hose! But, dawg, when I do, the reporting unit should come to a landing. Cross-functional wow factors efficiently streamline the strategy-focused architecture as part of the plan; this is why our projects influence the phased say/do ratio. I don’t always drink cheap beer, but when I do, the business leaders rebalance a customer-centric paradigm at the end of the day. We don’t always YOLO, but when we do, the resources avoid black swans. In the same time, the reporting unit should promote overarching landscapes. Dy-no-mite! Consistencies transfer our vision-setting interpersonal skills. As a result, the Group Chief Internal Audit Officer delivers our sustainable and streamlined benchmark. Scale-as-you-grow opportunities engage an innovative edge. I don’t always say Whassssssup! But, dawg, when I do, the clients target decentralized, solid, dotted lines. Competitive, business enabling, white papers motivate the business leaders, whereas our analytics-based landscape strategically transfers the key people. Core priorities efficiently impact executive talents. As a result, engagements structure the ROI. I’ll admit, I don’t always say That’s What She Said… But, damn, when I do, the stakeholders jump-start long-established alternatives. A modular visual thinking influences the key people, while the powerful champion fosters an under-the-radar, prioritizing and carefully thought-out integrity. I don’t always YOLO, but when I do, the socially conscious, well-defined, specification quality strengthens the stakeholders. Adaptive action plans cultivate well-crafted market opportunities. In the same time, the customers meet the challenges. I don’t always say Whassssssup! But, dawg, when I do, the team players seamlessly learn value-adding market forces, while the Senior Executive Head of Management Office optimizes the profit-maximizing, right, new and under-the-radar philosophies. State-of-the-art market conditions influence the Acting Chief of Marketing; this is why contents add value. I don’t always YOLO, but when I do, the project leader adapts a heart-of-the-business roadmap to seamlessly synergize the product manager and yo’ mama. Ain’t nobody got time for quantum granularity, self-efficacy and responsibility, but they do empower value-added market conditions up to eleven, while big picture and YOLO-style attitudes credibly inspire our stand-out standard-setters. I don’t always Carpe Diem, homies, but when I do, it is what it is.

Why does anyone give a shit about someones random catchphrase? honestly, I think you all desperately want to be annoyed by something. Keep pissing them off Bo, you’re doing God’s work.

The understanding is that Bo continues to be the quarry wanker and that AnaMen is a very strange cookie indeed.

Eleven times zero is still zero you dumbass.

Nine pages.

Seriously. Nine pages of vitriol over a Monty Pythonesque catchphrase. I have no idea what the phrase means or where it originated. It always registers as a non sequitur, so who gives a shit?

And we have none pages of thread space devoted to this benign silliness?

We need to take this thread and throw i somewhere. Like a deep hole.

:dubious: I’m not seeing the logical consistency in this.

You’re saying that people on message boards shouldn’t care what others think about them. But if some of these people that you don’t care about, demands that you change your behavior to suit them because it annoys them, then the only reasonable thing to do is to change your behavior because if you don’t, you’re a jerk or an asshat, an opinion you’re not supposed to care about.

It doesn’t seem reasonable to me to change your behavior for people you don’t care about so they don’t have an opinion about you that you don’t care about.

And yes, that means that person is not replicating their behavior in real life on the message board. But that happens by definition with your rule that people shouldn’t care about what other people think about them on message boards. The only way someone could mirror real life and message board life with that rule is if they didn’t care about what anyone else thinks about them in their real life and they don’t care about acceptance in any of their real life social groups. People change their behavior to suit others around them because they care about acceptance into their group.

New to the forum but at this point, I find it chuckleworthy that he keeps saying it, knowing it pisses some people off-- and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Not to mention the validation he may be getting from this pitting. Laughable.
Cheers, Bo.

I think this is the first time I’ve ever disagreed* with you about anything. And this ones a reall wtf’er!

*Well, I mean, you know what I mean.

Yes, but if you trimmed off all the “oh hai I can’t believe people who aren’t me care so much about a catchphrase I’ve never heard before and everyone needs to get a life cuz I think it’s hilarious!” posts, and AnaMen’s untamed shrew shtick, we’d be down to what, half a page?

Nope. If I were, I would still have given you the same advice, but I would never prevent you from posting. If you gain something from being a figure of fun, keep on posting to this thread. One more finger-wagger on a board as thickly populated with them as this one won’t make a difference.

Plus three and a half pages of FXMastermind loudly crowing about how he can’t believe how seriously everyone else is taking this.

Oh, you’re trying to protect me with “advice” by telling me to quit posting? What are you trying to save me from, insults from people whose opinions I don’t respect?

I’m not going to keep my opinions to myself because many people don’t like them.

Being in the majority is not a sign that you are right. Hitler had a lot of popular opinions! :p:

The above post is much more entertaining if you imagine Eddie Albert reading it aloud while a fife and drum play in the background.

Wait…what?

This thread amuses me.

Unlike Bo’s “catchphrase”. That’s just stale, forced, dumb and trying too hard.

Keep fighting the system for everyone’s right to be an annoying ass Bo. Someday you’ll be remembered.

Regards, etc.

My response as well. And it looks like it’s actually true.

Man, this thread is really delivering all the hits.
