ThelmaLou, as so often, you seem to have the exact words to express what I’m feeling.
Brown acid. Bummer.
Don’t forget the duck.
I see you do merit the reputation of being stupid.
yes the person joining in 2014 tells me about the board “very rarely down”… What an American sense of history, the past five minutes are a century.
It is funny. Great outtage…
The prevalence of the socially maladjusted.
as a non anglophone, I do not care about your sad attempt of cleverness.
So somebody is surprised and upset by the use of hyperbole. Other than that, how is your first day on the Internet?
In fairness, it’s been a long time since the board was consistently slow, and frequently down. I remember (as you do) when we had those problems. We haven’t had those problems in a long, long time, and I’m not at all surprised that relatively new members don’t know about them. (They don’t know about Wally either. They don’t even know about the Wally smiley! Time marches on. . .)
Remember opening five different threads in separate tabs, in the hopes that by the time you finished reading the first thread, the other four would have loaded? When was the last time you did that?
Perhaps. Or maybe we should let our posts stand or fall on their own merits, eh?
I would like to introduce you to a couple of concepts that are apparently new to you. One, not everyone here is an American. For example, I am not.
Two, and most important, is that there are such things as written and recorded history, so that people can avail themselves of information about events that occurred before their own lifetimes, whether a physical lifetime or virtual existence on some Internet medium like a message board. So believe it or not, I am able, through this remarkable means, of having knowledge of things that occurred before I was born, and having knowledge of things that occurred on this board before I joined. It’s really awesome, this ability to read things that other people wrote long ago. You should try it sometime.
Yes, your spelling mistake was funny. Maybe if you read more you would make fewer spelling mistakes and better recognize the value of recorded history. 
Perhaps you can explain why interacting through a relatively recent technological medium is somehow evidence of being maladjusted while interacting through more traditional media like conventional speech or throwing rocks at each other is perfectly fine.
Oh, good, because I was deeply concerned about how you would judge me.
One actual serious point. I’m not really trying to flame you, Ramira. But I do think it’s silly to consider participants on a good discussion board to be “maladjusted” because they’re upset when one of their communications channels is disrupted. We are a sufficiently advanced species to be evolving not just biologically but technologically, and technology advances at a furious pace. You don’t have to embrace all of it – I don’t – but you can’t ignore it, either.
For those who will continue to piss and moan regardless, read this out loud to yourself:
“We have top men working on it right now. Top. Men.”
When they are done could someone send them round my place, please? I could use a few top men.
You got something against bottom men? 
Sorry, top men are needed here until the constant logout and multi-quote issues are sorted out. Surely you have some electrically powered devices that can satisfy your simple base cravings for at least a few days.
Or are you like Ramira – unable to embrace technology?
You really are relentlessly unpleasant aren’t you, Ramira?
My bold.
**AT **cleverness… “your sad attempt **AT **cleverness.”
ETA: Please include me in the request for “Top Men.” I just need one. But he has to be Top.
Not in the least. We just seem to have an overabundance of them in these parts of late.
Oh I “embrace” technology, as it were, with no problem. I just have trouble remembering to stock up on batteries on a regular basis. :eek:
I think I broke my mouse from clicking on the refresh button at least 97,000 times!
I blame Obama. But I believe his accomplice was Marley since he has a record as long as your arm for this type of thing.
All I did was make a guess about who I thought might’ve done it, and give my reasons why. I am not the only person to do so.
I put my reasoning out where people can see it. That means that anyone can decide whether or not to agree with me. I specifically explained how tenuous it is, lest someone like you think I was saying it was anything substantial. I specifically included a disclaimer so you’d know I wasn’t doing the very thing you accuse me of doing. I literally rebutted part of your argument before you made it.
The scumminess is what you did Frank. You twist what people say. And then you blame them for some great evil in the world. How the hell is guessing who might’ve caused the attack supposed to harm anyone? I put everything out there, so if my reasoning is bad, no one will accept it. What’s bad is actually leaving things out and making insinuations.
And, for fuck’s sake, Frank. You’ve said tons of shitty stuff about me. You’ve participated in spreading rumors about me. Is my life ruined? No. It’s just a fucking messageboard. If you really thought it would ruin people, you wouldn’t act the way you do.
I am tired of you lashing out like this, Frank. This isn’t the first time you twisted what I said. But it will be the last I read. I am tired of biting my tongue because of your issues. So, rather than lash out, I will be the better man and just stop seeing what you have to say.
Goodbye, Frank. May you get over your depression and start being the smart guy you used to be.
Stay classy, BigT.
We could call the episode Silent Spring.
BigT, you are a true horse’s ass.
