Why do Dopers have to lower themselves to replying to morons?

Why do people slow down to look at car accidents? Why did so many people watch “Who Wants to Marry a Multmillionaire”?

Must be some flaw in human nature. Or perhaps there is an evolutionary advantage.

Well, I see this discussion has achieved the usual standard of coherence and logic for the Pit. :stuck_out_tongue:

Borrowing wring’s Chain of thought:
Throwing rocks at wasps ==>
Angry wasp nest ==>
Perfect analogy for trolls (rock)and the resultant fallout (angry wasps).

See? Perfectly logical. Well, at least it’s logical to me. :wally:

As much fun as it is to poke fun at ignorant posters, sometimes all they need is a helping hand. If they want to be helped. :shrugs:

Ask not for whom the tard bell tolls, it tolls for thee.

It tolls for B?

…DEATH RAYS! This might put a hitch in your gitalong.

How about BLINDING LASER WEAPONS!

Just Google “China blinding laser,” or, throw in “dazzler.”

Not like those tried-and-true 1920’s style Tesla quality death rays, I’ll admit. I long for the good old days.

Because wrestling pigs is just so damn much fun!

So instead of throwing rocks, we should pick up the hornet nest and nurture it, cradling in our arms for a few minutes before gingerly placing it back in the tree.

Inc, Inc, Inc, put down your granola bars and quit hugging those trees long enough to see the big picture. Pile-ons are fun! The stupid get humilated, the assholes get reamed, and the ignorant get ballbusted. Maybe in your sunshine world of earth breeze incense and Lennin-Yoko guitar medleys, the deer and the lion smoke ganja together and make peace signs all day, but in the real world, more people go to football games than love-ins. Violence gets better ratings than pottery class. This is human nature, dammit! So go back to your bean sprouts and tofu. In the real world, we like our steak bloody!

Or because we all have a need for someone to feel superior to.

“Jer-ry! Jer-ry! Jer-ry!”

Morons? The only morons here are the ones that don’t acknowledge the threat of terrorism.

We need to act now, people!

I’m buying some slugs this afternoon. I’m too close to the predicted “Zombie” D-Day landing beaches to take any chances. If I remember my movie rules correctly I must shoot them in the head, right? No messing around with low caliber stuff, I’d guess.

Nice catch, Brutus.

No no no no no! We all know nukes will just make the zombies spread! We’ve got to tell someone!!

Did Al Queda use 1920’s-style Death Rays to create their zombies? Have we been mocking them all this time, oblivious to the threat?

Beagle, you will need a shotgun, a wise old man, a hot chick, a chick who is wearing glasses but is obviously hot as if the glasses hide the fact, a smarmy little kid, and a doofus friend that constantly volunteers to 'go see what made that ‘zombie-like sound’, if you plan on fighting the coming hordes.

Good luck and God bless!

DNFTT is a good concept but for whatever reason it’s impossible for everyone to follow. Dopers have been feeding trolls ever since the SDMB got its start on AOL and the occasional cries of “DNFTT!” have been heard for almost as long.

Beagle, don’t forget the panicky, skinny guy. That’s probably me.

Duuuude - I live in California. Wait, what were we talking about? Man, did you ever notice how weird Blowero sounds when you say it over and over. Blowero, Blowero, Blowero, Blowero - whoah, that was trippy.

I’m hungry…

I didn’t even know the Weekly World News had a website. My day is officially made.

Regarding the OP: there may be a case for not responding to morons when they’re just drooling and babbling, but some things need to be responded to every freakin’ time. For example, I sincerely hope that every time someone asks whether 0.999…=1 that someone will scream “YES!” while patiently linking to the ten different threads explaining why. Even if, like the last time, the answer has to be pounded into their heads with a shovel. And if that’s too geeky for you, I’m sure someday soon we’ll have to answer to Pascal’s Wager in GD again, which has much the same effect.

You wanna get a pizza?!?
