Nope, neither. This thread is, as stated, not trying to accomplish anything in particular.
It is like the vast majority of threads in the pit, just a rant. I felt unfairly picked upon and decided to vent.
I hope that’s alright. It does seem to be the main (sole?) point of the pit. I doubt any minds are changed here.
Now, why don’t you ask what the others here hoped to accomplish? Wind me up. Not that easily, I’m afraid.
Etc. etc. In short, you’ve called just about everyone who posted here childish, you’ve made references to child-like behavior in every post, and even use the word “child” several times in a single sentence. Looks like I’ve proven my first point.
Point two…
Sure as hell looks like you’re saying that “The contents of a thread have no bearing on what should or shouldn’t be posted to it” right there, me bucko. I just proved THAT point.
There, you seem to be saying “Emotions have no place on an online message board.” There’s point three.
Then the kicker…
And…
Point four proven.
In short, all of my original statements were true. Of course, now I’m sure you’ll dredge up your old word “childish” again in response to a carefully laid out post going point-to-point showing you, by means of evidence and reason. But, hey, I’m enjoying myself.
Where did I claim that? Show me a single quote where I said anything remotely similar to that. After all, you’re the expert on childishness, you should be capable of handling such a simple task, right?
Making fun of someone’s name. Now that’s the epitome of “un-childishness”.
It’s not like “Adriatic Ionian Ægean” is the height of maturity either, bucko.
Hey, guys, ten bucks says that Mr. Ægean is less than sixteen years old. Any takers?
Wow, I have never seen a poster as eloquent and verbose as you. You truly are the epitome of cool, I want to grow up just like you.
By the way, I give pepperlandgirl a 10 on that flame, Way to go.
Sorry. I skipped her flame. I’m sure it was a gem, but I’m not much of a fan of flames. As pointed out, my vocabulary for flames runs the gamut from “child” to “children”.
So, you please read her flame for me and pick one of the two responses. I have actual posting to do elsewhere.
Let’s do a little research, put things together, and see what we find.
Adriatic Ionian Ægean said:
That “actual posting” was to the old Straight Dope Protest thread, which you may recall was concrete’s finest hour–this was AEIOU’s last post so far. If you look here, you will notice he has four posts to this thread. You will also notice this thread had expired at the end of May, until it was revived earlier this month by Piano…who is a low-count poster who jumped out of the woodwork to support Easy Tokyo’s flaming of yojimbo in this thread, which was the result of Easy Tokyo (and some others) getting called on hijacking the original condolence thread for SILENT-BOB to say how much they didn’t like SB. This was the thread in which Adriatic Ionian Ægean showed up to object to the objecting to Easy Tokyo.
Suggestive as this is, there’s more. Ægean’s theme–how childish his detractors are–has an interesting counterpart. In the SILENT-BOB thread, Easy Tokyo came out with this, in reference to silent-rob:
Then, in the yojimbo flame thread, Easy Tokyo stated:
So bothEasy Tokyo and Adriatic Ionian Ægean appear to be hung up on accusing people of being immature.
One more thing, from AEIOU’s posts in this thread right here. First he says “What strikes me about this following comment on me is how childish it is.” [Underscoring added.] Then he quotes a post of mine:
Then, later, he says:
Yet my post was in was in fnord’sEasy Tokyo is an ass thread, and my particular flame was obviously directed at Easy Tokyo. Indeed, I specifically exempted Adriatic Ionian Ægean in my comments. And yet AEIOU regarded it as being about himself…
1+1=2, 2+2=4. Is there a 2 or a 4 here? It’s all circumstantial…but so are most criminal cases. Decide for yourself.
Oh, come on, isn’t it natural for people new to the board to come running to the aid of other new posters that are making asses of themslves. That’s what I was like.
“I really like this message board, I think I’ll register. Now to go off and make a good impression. Hey, look, there’s a thread about that Silent-Bob guy, hmmm… looks like he just had a death in the family. Well, these people are really going to like me if I call him a troll here. Someone else did it too, and although it didn’t exactly go over too well, when they hear it from me, they’ll see how right it is.”
“Uh, oh, looks like a whole bunch of people think me and the other guys who insulted Silent-Bob are assholes. Well, I’m not going to take that from them. No, I’m going to defend my fellow put-upon posters from this attack. One of them already started to flame one of the attackers. I’ll support him, and when that dies down, I’ll start a thread of my own to complain about these people. Damn, I like hanging around this message board.”
Sounds perfectly logical to me. :rolleyes: I’m fairly convinced that there are a couple really dedicated trolls out there responsible for the massive numbers of screennames that get banned here. Certainly not the first time I’ve seen the morons (this moron?) get confused about who’s supposed to be offended at what.
Oh, waterj2, you’re just childish. Only a child can post such childishly childish childishness that you post. Children, all. Now, since I’m obviously not childish (since I, and only I, am capable of determining if someone is childish or not, having the power to circumvent even Webster himself), I’m going to find another childish thread and post how everyone there is childish as well.
Oh, and you’re lying. Not a single word in your childish post of childish words was childishly childish with its’ inherent childishness, child, so not a single word was true. Now, I have to go rape the vacuum cleaner, since that’s what all we Unchildren do, not like you childish children who develop childish relationships with other childish people. And the moderators are childish, too. And the Administrators. And Cecil. All childish, since they don’t make sweet love to the vacuum cleaner.
