Nope. Sorry, punk. I’m not going to mess up someone else’s thread just to call you out and put you over my knee.

You begged for punishment when you said:

I’ll do my best to help you out. I’m always happy to lend a hand to a weak little masochist.

Let’s take a look at that thread only, instead of the SDMB as a whole. You attacked London_Calling, of all people, by calling him a troll after he provided data that was pertinent to the discussion at hand. Don’t take my word for it, though. Let’s have the quote.

Was it a direct statement? No. Did everyone, including my dead grandmother catch the intention of the wording you selected? Yes. Remember, punk, this was your immediate response to LC’s clarifying remarks to his first venture into that thread. That, Wonko, is abusive.

I then posted an inquiry to determine whether or not you were actually attacking London_Calling as a troll because I found it had to believe that such could actually be the case. It was then that you posted babbling madness that, in an indirect way, confirmed what I had asked about. Some posts were traded back and forth. It became increasingly more difficult to ignore your drivel as you were posting repeatedly in series in a style that gave me the impression that your cheese had slipped off your cracker. London_Calling posted again. He took issue with some of the things you had posted, but nothing in that post was in any way an assault on your position or your character. Every comment that he made addressed the topic at hand. Your response?

Now tell me, Wanker, is that abusive? Sure seems like it to me. When I asked why you were reacting in such a way, you responded that it was fun. WTF is up with that? Do we have a name for posters who attack others at random for no reason other than to amuse themselves?

In the end, you closed with this drivel:

So, this is a game to you? Fine. I’ll play with you right here, punk. I’ve pointed out instances of your abusiveness. I’ve made note of your spelling error. I’ve let slide the grammar. I’ve given plenty of details. I haven’t made any inferences without evidence and you still look like an asshole. It was your challenge and I met it, punk.

Note: Never before have I seen any offending comments attributed to the user Wonko The Sane. I do not believe anything truly ill of this poster. Simple fact of the matter is that if you fuck with the bull, you get the horns. It only takes once.

5.8, for the “Bull and Horns” cliche. Otherwise, you would have had at least an 8.5

3

Oh come one MR. C. I loved the cheese off the cracker line. Sure, the bull and horns takes it down a notch, but I give it a 7.4.
and he even provided quotes instead of just going off with no one understanding what he was talking about.

Nice job Tymp. You also avoided gratuitous profanity. Not something I would do, but nice every now and then.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate the criticism. I was actually regretting the unnecessary cliche as I drove home this afternoon. Thanks for rubbing my nose in that unfortunate indulgence. Guess now I know who my real friends are, you bastards.

:wink: <— Gratuitous smilie.

You took me seriously after answer c. Odd but amusing.

**Now tell me, Wanker, is that abusive?

You can do better than this. Rude words that rhyme with names went out in junior high. Maybe you can say something involving my mother. Just trying to help out. I did like the “cheese off the cracker” line, and will add it to my “fun expressions to insult people with” list. However, your use of the word “punk” may indicate a distressing facination with the “Dirty Harry” series of movies (they are cool movies though- all those carchases and gunfights- whoooo!).

Waitin’ for you on the flipside!
<wink, wink>
you know what I mean…

ooooh, my first foray into the pit…

6

Abusive, no. Insultingly condescending? Oh yes…

7

The cheese off the cracker bit- a racial slur??

8

Excuse me for butting in, But saying the “cracker” gag was intended as a racial slur is just ridiculous. If your trying to be funny, by all means, do so. Just remember to be funny.

9

Mr. Larrigan-

-Yes. It is ridiculous. So was answer “c” in the original post. It was quoted from the original thread which tymp has a link to. (he is very good with this ubb code- much better than me.)
This bit from the other thread- also ridiculous.

look at his response- well, maybe it’s not ridiculous, but I figured that he would get the idea I was just being silly about the last line.

10

Yeah. That’s great Wonko. Why don’t you go and be silly somewhere else? Others may appreciate it more. Attacking people out of the blue is just fucking annoying. Interrupting the continuity of a thread by adding nothing but rude, nonsequiter remarks is fucking annoying. Refusing to explain your apparent idiocy when asked directly is fucking annoying. Quoting large sections of text and adding only an inane, irrelevant comment is fucking annoying. Coming to this thread but refusing to actually address the OP is fucking annoying.

In short Wonko, you’re an asshole. In case the OP wasn’t clear enough, here’s why:

Do you remember this?

(Hint: It’s from the OP)

This is how I chose to address the things that you have quoted in this thread. Here they are again:

Now, here’s one more quote for ya:

Now, tell me Wonko, what the fuck happened to you yesterday? I’ve never seen you trolling before. I am genuinely concerned here, punk (said Jimmy Stewart style, rather than Dirty Harry). Did something terrible happen to you that’s causing you to lash out at others unprovoked? C’mon, guy. You’re my brother. You and I registered within days of each other and we post with roughly the same frequency. When you make yourself out to be an asshole, I feel it. So, cut it out, dick!

I don’t think you’re a racist. I think you presented your valid ideas very badly. I don’t think you’re a troll. I think you’ve adopted a defensive position and you’re to stupid with pride to back down. Until you figure this out, fuck you, you fucking fuck. Neither I nor anyone else here is going to tolerate your shit. Don’t bring your temporary insanity here, fuckwit.

11

Tymp,
I’ve read the racist post twice, and I fail to understand what nerve Wonko tweeked. It seemed to me that he basically said that people are responsible for their actions, no matter what the cause. London_Calling agreed that they had difference in philosophy. I’ll agree that Wonko is a tongue-in-cheek smartass, but I found no real poster abuse, just an individual style, like all of us(kinda like calling oldscratch and Mr. C bastards, hard to interpret without the smiley). I also found his apology and explanation of the joke (trolling) to be sincere.
I thought Wonko’s ending bit about the gun quite funny, pointing out the obvious, that on some issues, there will be no agreement. That’s why it’s so nice to live in a basically free society, my opinion and I’m entitled to it the same as you. If you go to the bar and talk politics or religeon, be prepared to fight.

Just my opinion.
later, Tom
Oops, it’s the pit. So if you don’t like my opinion, piss off!

hflathead,

I’m with ya, really. I don’t have any real problem with the content or intentions of Wonko’s first couple of posts to that thread. I became annoyed when his foolishness and unnecessary condescension muddled what was otherwise an interesting discussion. I don’t care what his views are. I’d just rather that he present them without abusing others and making an ass of himself. There are nineteen posts to that thread from Wonko. Very little of what he posted had anything to do with the topic at hand. The bulk of his posts looked like count padding and really lame attempts at humor. When I directly asked him to cool off, he just became more belligerent and annoying.

So, here it is. A thread just for Wonko The Sane. It’s even got his fucking name on it. He can come here and be as much of an asshole as he wants. He can exercise his flaccid wit and practice a more effective style with only me as his target. Maybe he’ll get this shit out of his system and move on. Maybe he’ll convince me that I’m wrong about him. Maybe nothing will come of this at all and I’m just wasting my time.

This is how I chose to address the things that you have quoted in this thread. Here they are again:

When I posted the bit about the alien overlords in the previous thread, it was an attempt to inject humor into a subject that I put in the “overkill” category. I figured anything after the part about the alien overlords in area 52 would not be taken seriously. I did not mean to piss you off this much, I just resented being called a racist by LC and got caught up in the moment. I think we both think this has gone far enough. If you want to end it fine, just say so, and that way we both have the final word. Oh, and if stupid with pride equals stubborn… Yeah. That’s me.

Oh, and BTW- excellent use of cusswords. Yow! If you show up at a dopefest- You get some free beers- courtesy of Wonkonian Enterprises Unlimited.

I’ll see your white flag and raise you one olive branch (more classy, imo)

For the record, I still don’t see where London_Calling stated that you were a racist. That doesn’t matter now, though. I’ve stated what was on my mind. You’ve responded. No need for either of us to beat a dead horse any more than we already have.

Go in peace, brother Wonko The Sane.

15

Wonko, I got the rediculous of c) but to me it looked like it was there to emphasise to accusitory nature of d)

I now realise what you were trying to do, as I often do it myself (add a touch of humour to a situation that was getting a little bit too serious than what it was meant.

cheers,
J

16

Olive branch accepted. Yes- probably is classier.

17

I can see how a person could interpret it that way, now that you mention it. Just meant to be silly, not so much accusatory.
