Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

[Rubinetto_Grande]

Gee whiz and golly gee (seems like that is the right approach for a board like this that is pretty touchy/feely)…I make one post one this board, and some guy (gal?) with way too long of a name, flames me for:

1. Using the proper “eh” instead of “ay” (nuance is everything…he must think he’s the Fonz)
2. Being in the wrong forum (a few too many of them here aren’t there?)
3. Making a Canadian joke

Then the thread gets locked. Well a seig heil to you too buddy.

I was just trying this board out and didn’t want to take the time to read the voluminous posts on “THE RULES”. Don’t worry…I shan’t post again.

BTW, in one of the (way too many) forums there was a post from Ed Zotti about a " Super SDMB subscription special!. That’s a joke, right? I see it was posted on 31 March, so I figure it’s an early April Fools Day joke…people don’t really pay to post here, do they???

Thanks for your visit, and I wish you the best of luck in your quest to find a board that has the precise number of forums that you personally deem necessary.

Oh, and not only do you have to pay to post here, you have to pay to stop posting. $500. Payable directly to me. It’s the “Angola Customs Authority” business model, and so far it’s been wildly successful.

…people don’t really pay to post here, do they???

Sure we do. It’s a great way to keep out the riff raff.

[Slacker]

Too many forums? This place has precious few. Any other messageboard this size has about eleventy million subforums.

Anyway, don’t you have a bridge to keep an eye on?

Well, they probably would have been too complicated for you anyway.

@Rubinetto Grande

You’re breaking our hearts.

They sure do. Although if too many people like you joined i think i’d have to reconsider my membership.

Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out.

Good luck to you in finding yourself a nice, pleasant message board with short names (such as your own, with a mere 16 characters) and less forums. May you feel higher and mightier than the rest of us, since we pay to keep the filth out. Go on, we just know you’re better than us, you big silly! We’re not really here to fight ignorance or learn new things, we’re just here to make everyone else feel better about themselves.

Go on, now, you’ve got all the answers! What are you waiting around for? Get on out of here with your non-conformist self, ye little scamp!

Oh, these kids, they get so durn smart so fast these days. Must be those new multi-vitamins.

Anyone see the scene in Flight of the Intruder where Willem Defoe says “Alpha Mike Foxtrot” over the air? That was cool.

[Hoodoo_Ulove]

WTF, as long as we’re flaming you, you should have given us a link to the exchange in question. Does anyone have a link, if it’s still readable?

C K Dexter Haven’s user id is way too long?

That should be fewer forums, not ‘less’ forums. Sheesh, they let anybody in here.

[Miller]

So, apparently this is the post our new friend is complaining about:

@CK Dexter Haven

Rubinetto, I think you mean “ay” instead of “eh” but …

In any case, comments on Staff Report belong in the forum called “Comments on Staff Reports,” so this is in the wrong forum to begin with. However, Canadian jokes are not appropriate for either of those forums. So, I’m moving this to the correct forum and then closing it.

He calls that a flame? What a pussy.

[Jenaroph]

“Hi everybody! Lookit me! Looky looky looky! Fuck all y’all! I’m not going to be posting anymore!”

Whatever.

Oops. burns in humiliation

I’m just not as smart as the new feller, kthx!

Geez I spelled BOARD incorrectly. I hope Rubinetto Grande didn’t see that.

[Flander]

He probably throws tantrums when he doesn’t get his binky.

[Genghis_Bob]

Hey, I think I had a *Rubinetto Grande * at Starbuck’s last night.

I don’t know if wagering is frowned upon, and frankly, I’m too lazy to go searching through the “voluminous posts on ‘THE RULES’” as well, but I got $5 that says his post count climbs to double digits before his free trial ends. The OP makes two posts, I believe.

[Excalibre]

Man, this dude is lucky he left. This place requires a slightly more robust constitution than this guy possesses. If that was a flame in Big Ruby’s (can I call you that? Thanks.) eyes, he’s gonna spontaneously combust when someone’s actually mean to him.

When folks like him don’t register, though, it warms the cockles of my heart and makes me ever happier that it went pay-to-post.
