Uh…that’d be *Bus * Guy. :o
No, no, no. You heard wrong. He will be gving away the equivalent of 20 minutes of interest earned on 95% of his wealth. Marianna will get most of it, since he was with her since 1960.
From the OP (bolding mine):
Your stance now:
It’s what you accomplish that counts, not what you start.
Sorry, I’m still laughing at the part where he called Melinda Gates a supermodel!
Actually, I said that you look more like an ass when you base your statements on false rumors and assuimptions. After reading your subsequent posts, I can safely conclude that it would be impossible for you to look more like an ass. So while I wasn’t calling you an ass then, I am now.
I can’t believe we wasted precious hamster energy on arguing w/ this simian-wannabe. Feels like we’re catering to a drunk in a bar yelling, “Bring it, muthafuckas, bring it!” Oh, it’s already broughten! :rolleyes:
You seriously don’t see the combative stance you take from the very first sentence? This is not even the first thread where you’ve done this.
From this pit thread:
(QT being Quentin Tarantino).
Who can forget the great Fuck you, doctors thread:
In andrewdt85: a defense it takes you a while to get worked up again, but you eventually get to it:
Another recent one:
I’m not talking about subject matter here. You assume almost from the beginning that everyone is out to get you – and it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.
You do much better in Alright, that’s it- fuck cars, and the stupidity of the human race for using them. You make a good point and stick to it without trying to insult the entire message board while you do it. Keep on that track and I think you’ll find a lot fewer people picking fights with you. Not right away, of course, you have too much history and, let’s face it, there are dicks on this board who ain’t gonna forgive or forget any time soon. But make the effort to be civil, and things will eventually change.
I’ve heard that many of the children Melinda Gates is helping have shit lodged into their ears. They can’t afford pillows, and have to use water buffalo dung.
Hey, anything going on? I just stopped by because I have to go poop.
Bus Guy, you misspelled ‘negative.’ Now I’m going to criticize you about it several times, even though that wasn’t what your post was about at all.
Bus Guy, here’s Wiktionary’s article on the word ‘negative.’ A glance at this would really behoove you. Is it too much to ask?
I mean… you look like an ass, you know, misspelling that word in the same post in which you come off as trying to seem of superior intellect.
‘Negative’ is spelled n.e.g.a.t.i.v.e. Misspelling ‘negative’ isn’t much of a good basis for a posting, now is it, Mr. Bus Guy?
Annoying, isn’t it? When people keep picking at a little mistake you made, and you’ve already acknowledged that you did make that mistake, but that the reason why is clear: the detail you glitched on didn’t matter; just like previewing your post didn’t matter to you, so looking up Melinda Gates did not matter to me and does not matter to me now that I know the answer.
Now to address your post: Bus Guy, your post exemplifys what I hate most about users here: you pretend to be demigods who fling things back at those you shit upon (what with your superhuman intellect). You are an arrogant piece of shit, Bus Guy, and saying that all my claims were ‘thrown back at me with glee’ is a lie- I admitted my wrong on Bill Gates (and his wife, though that was a small detail), but the rest, especially about you users being shit, can’t be refuted- it’s rock-solid fact, and you’re proof enough of that. 
No, he’s talking about the 21st century technology that allows us to film without color.
Is this the first completely spontaneous meltdown in SDMB history?
It’s really fascinating to watch.
Please stop insulting asses. They have long fuzzy cute ears and soft velvety muzzles and huge sweet brown eyes and they’re way more adorable than our friend here.
Of course, it’s true they do a lot of loud, obnoxious braying.
Andrew, you seem to hate the people who post here and the content of our posts. Why, then, do you read and post here?
Actually, these
are the ones glee flung back at you. Just sayin’.
Ya know, you’re right. It is unfair to asses. Perhaps this is more on the mark.
:eek: That is a big…ass.
So apparently the OP’s main intent in opening this thread was to say “Fuck you” to a bunch of different people. Mission accomplished. Time to move on to the more important stuff, like whether Iranians would actually want to listen to Gordon Lightfoot, assuming they were allowed to.
From your OP, which you typed:
I see rich people…
Dude, use a dictionary along with the thesaurus. Your use of fruition is a misstep.
Which brings me to the actual reason I’m replying. I have, in fact, read the entire thread, and I don’t think anyone’s addressed this specific point, and personally I think it’s an important one.
The people in this thread who have recommended that you mprove your writing are not saying that you should learn to be witty, or a master stylist. They are telling you that you need to learn to be clear, readable, and understandable.
You aren’t being criticized for lack of virtuousity. Your posts are difficult to read–the sentences wander all over. With your long posts, it’s hard to figure out just where your stream-of-consciousness logorrhea is going. Reading your OPs makes my eyes cross and my brain freeze up. You need to work on the conciseness and clarity of your presentation of ideas. I think you’ll find that much of the hostility you’re experiencing will disappear if you just organize your writing so that it communicates your message clearly. When people pick on typos or grammar errors, they’re not trying to derail the argument, they’re pointing out (with varying effectiveness, I’ll admit) that your lack of attention to basic writing skills makes your posts hard to read.
Once you get things expressed readably and clearly, then you can worry about whether or not you want to go all stylistically pretentious. It’s true, some of the writing here can get a bit high-flown, especially in the Pit. But that’s not required, and not what people here are requiring of you. It’s totally optional. But you know, take an interest in the actual construction of sentences, and you might just begin to perceive some of the joys of “excellent English wielded in a pretentious way.” Which, by the way, never goes out of style.
