Likewise.
Nope. I’m not.
Nope You’re not.
I do. Sorry. Find another way to do it. Maybe you could send him flowers, dedicate your next novel to him, or just give him a foot massage.
Same to you.

What is it, precisely, that sailor is doing that’s so uniquely horrible?
These threads definitely bring out the total dickery of certain posters. I like the comparison drawn up-thread to school-age boys who immediately ramp up their annoying behavior on being told how annoying they are.
The sign-offs have never been excessively bothersome to me, although ever since Shodan revealed in some previous thread that he sometimes uses his sign-off as a way of saying “fuck you,” that’s what I tend to read it as.
That would make his posts redundant.
Fuck you, fuck you! No, really, fuck you, and in conclusion, fuck you.
Fuck you,
Shodan
I commend these lines of Burns to Shodan’s attention. (Others of his fixation may also equally profit from them.)
O wad some Power the giftie gie us.
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion
EX-cellent!
If Shodan isn’t trolling then it’s just sad.
Also my new sign off.

It seems Shodan can give but cannot take. Regards.
One more assholish rule.
I think this is one of the silliest pit threads in ages. It seems to me as if the OP has a cranial rectal inversion wherein he can see out his bellybutton.
Cheers.

Why can’t the sign-offs be part of the sig? I don’t think it should be banned out-right, but it should be in the sig, which I’ve handily disabled so I won’t ever have to look at them. It’d be nice if we had the same choice with “regards,” “cheers,” etc.
And let’s not forget Saint Paul like to end his letters with prayers. Perhaps by the standards of the faraway yesterdays, we are like rude, vile beasts, who don’t even seek the goodness and well-being of the person we are addressing and express our innermost beings of sincerity and affection when we end a letter.
Pretty much that was the rule but it was not being enforced. After a thread similar to this one the mods said they would start enforcing it but it lasted 20 minutes because Shodan went into a girly hissy fit and the mods lined up to give him consolation blowjobs. But those words are copyrighted now and I am not allowed to say “Regards Shodan”.
OOPS! did that count?
Not at all. Certainly one is still free to say “as regards Shodan, a moment’s thought is a moment wasted,” or “flushed with desire, sailor regards Shodan longingly from across the room,” for example.
I’ve tuned it out.
More specifically, I’ve tuned out the normal ones. Regards, Enjoy, Love, etc…
Now, on the other hand, if the poster in question went on a trivial and childish rant complete with name calling, and ended their post with “Regards”, I’d think less of the poster.
Doubleplusungood points if you end your post with a word from a dead language. Yes, I’m talking to you, Vox Imperatoris. I highly enjoyed that thread… and its spinoff.
I post on another board where people sign off with pictures of themselves, weather/temperature reports & in one bizarre case photos of bridges. Its annoying having to scroll past stuff that you were only interested (maybe) in seeing once.
This just seems very minor.
In stupidity this has to be right up there with the butthurt buttfuck episode. Way to go.
We do.
If the poster has been advised that a large number of people find the “regards”, “peace”, “love”, “I’m a wanker who thinks this makes me look smart”, or whatever else they insist on adding to each post is annoying, they should be referred to the sig file, where they can say what they want but those who don’t want to see it can disable it.
This is a reasonable compromise. Unfortunately, some of these people don’t like to compromise. What’s important is that they want you to see it, not that you don’t want to see it. In real life, this involves raincoats on sunny days and secluded areas of the park, followed by police chases. Online, though, it just requires you to ask yourself if the poster has ever said anything that was worth reading.
If so, you put up with their vile habit. If not, a quick addition to the ignore list and you never have to see it again.
He masturbated all over my bagel. 
I bet you defend people who talk loudly on their cellphones in mass transit, too.
Not a man,

Apparently because the mods are too fucking lazy to do their jobs properly, so they changed the rules to allow this exception for the whiners who like to annoy people.
ETA:
I really hate doing that to anybody but spammers, though. It strikes me as the online equivalent of shoving my fingers in my ears and screaming, “La la la, I can’t hear you!” which isn’t a good response to anything, even a really bad argument or annoying asshole.
I take issue with this. The butthurt incident is well over this one’s league. Sorry. 
Oh man. Should I start a pit thread about all you fuckers who won’t put in your location?
