Short, but witty comment only tangently related to OP posted a day and a half after interest in the thread has waned. Gratuitous mention of post count milestone.

Post which wildly misinterprets not only OP, but following posts addressing OP. Unfounded claim that OP was somehow deragatory towards poster.

Terse statement offering poster’s academic qualifications as proof for stating 2+2=5.

misspelled sig line

Comment which I happen to think is genuinely witty but unfortunately isn’t and only serves to make everyone uncomfortable. Half-hearted reference to a cult television show.

Post relating to the thread only vaugley, leaving readers unsettled and more sure that poster is not quite with us.
