1. Who the hell is this **Asmodean** fellow? I can’t make heads nor tails out of him. 2. I just saw in the “Who’s Who” thread that **Rousseau** is 17. I am stunned.

Esprix, you have a nasty habit that’s beginning to grate on my nerves. Instead of starting a new Pit thread about it and drawing everyone’s attention, I’ll just address it here (and, as you will see, it’s appropriate). Why in tarnation do you keep resurrecting these threads that you started? Every time one of your threads falls off the page, you make some pointless post to move it back up to the top. Why? Is it an attention thing? What gives? (And what exactly are you stunned about now?) * * * “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” -Winston Churchill ---

It’s just that sometimes you sound like an embittered old guy Rousseau, thats all. Like in those drug threads, I kept expecting to hear “back in my day teenagers were more civil to their elders.” Or maybe he meant something else entirely. I don’t really know. (Oh, and if you have a complaint about him resurrecting old posts, why don’t you create a topic about it, rather than replying _in those old posts_, essentially doing the same thing that he is doing.) * * * Your machine has proved scientifically that there’s an ancient demon locked within her. ---

Every time one of your threads falls off the page, you make some pointless post to move it back up to the top. Why? Is it an attention thing? What gives? [list=1][li]If I have some new idea to post, I attempt to find a related thread that already exists rather than start a new one. This seems to make efficient sense to me. If such a thread exists, I post my new idea to it; if not, I start a new thread. There is evidence to support I have done both in the past.[/li] [li]I do not resurrect a thread simply because I started it - if I find a related thread to the new idea I wish to post, that’s where I post it, regardless of who started it. There is evidence to support I have posted to threads both of my own creation and of others’.[/li] [li]The two questions I posted here regarding you and **Asmodean** seemed relevant to this thread rather than starting a new one; I am trying to ascertain if he is a troll, idiot or juvenile, and including my statement about you also seemed to fit this thread, as I’ve discussed my issues with you here previously.[/li] [li]Why does this bother youh? I’ve seen old threads resurrected many times by both their authors and other users. (If you like, I can stop pointing that gun to your head and forcing you to read everything I post. :rolleyes: )[/li] [li]Many old threads of mine have gone by the wayside without me resurrecting them.[/li] [li]Some old threads of mine have been resurrected by others.[/list=1][/li] All better now? > [@](#): > > (And what exactly are you stunned about now?) I pegged you for a much older, jaded person - 17 never even crossed my mind. I suppose I’m used to younger people being more open-minded. I find it sad that someone so young can be so intelligent and so ignorant at the same time. Perhaps you’ll change for the better as you get older.

Even though this will no doubt piss **Rousseau** off, I just wanted to ask (in this appropriate thread)… So how do we think **OgerUrge** rates next to our other favorites, past and present?

I don’t necessariy want to assign labels to anyone outright…but these are the people who’s posts are many times offensive and often filled with trollish, angry behavior: KarmaComa, Califbloomer, Mr. Zambezi, and The Urge (OgreFade), as well as any incarnation of Michael Masterson. (sorry 'bout that ogreurge, I saw your attempt to be nice to me in the thread about you that I responded too, but it just doesn’t erase the shittyness with which you entered this board) * * * Rather, I was in the position of a spore which, having finally accepted its destiny as a fungus, still wonders if it might produce penicillin. –Ayi Kwei Armah ---

You don’t want break that now do you? You know, that’s twice you took an innocent comment and accused me of trying to pick a fight. Yes, we have an understanding, but I still think you’re an idiot, and I will likely agree with you on perhaps one out of every thousand topics.

The Urge/OgreFade ranks as the one poster here in my short time on these boards that really annoyed me. I don’t really know why. I think it was the whole martyr act, plus the convoluted logic he was applying to make his case, whatever the fuck it might have been. Plus the fact that he resurrected the same bitching in response to every minor criticism directed at him. He kept making veiled threats along the lines of “what if I was seriously depressed and committed suicide over this?” or “what if I got pissed off and spammed the SDMB from 5000 email addresses?” Some people are thin skinned and overreact to criticism (remember Kellibelli?), but that’s the way they are and I can deal with that. UrgeBoy plastered his thin-skinnedness all over the place, in the process insulting the regs here repeatedly. He refused to let any comment about him simply die. He assigned reasons such as ageism as people’s motives for criticizing him (I’m two years older than he). Plus he broke the rules, and when caught, tried to claim that he had purposely made it easy for us to catch him. In short, he pissed me off. * * * “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.” - Adam Smith ---

I’m my own favorite troll, idiot, or juvenile, assuming I qualify for one of those. 😃 But then, you know, I’m just psychotically egotistical. * * * Yes, I am an egomaniac; why do you ask? …You didn’t ask?
