and

Damn you! Damn you all to ECU!

Toss another (Thai) dog on the barbie. That last one was a little crisp around the edges (even to begin with).

Anyone care to link to the thread where our good friend crossed the line?

Even though he could be offensive and crude sometimes, I really think that the rock in the box OP is a damn fine piece of writing that cracks me up every time I read it. The 'dog musta been smoking some gooooood shit when he wrote it.

in his last thread here [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=212763&perpage=50&pagenumber=2](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=212763&perpage=50&pagenumber=2) that did it.

Basic admission to trollery.

Distinct lack of colour in that meltdown. He held it together better than most.

What is it with colour and board meltdowns anyway?

What do you mean by “colour”? Are you saying that meltdowns ought to be more insane, more dramatic, and more entertaining (in a car-wreck kind of way)?

I’m not arguing or criticizing. I’m just curious about how you’re using that word.

As in COLOUR!, though the insane car-wrecking adds a nice touch too.

You know, his stuff was interesting enough that I’m sad he had to go. This is the first time I’ve felt that way.

however, admission of trolling is pretty much a good way to get kicked out 🙂

He had some funny stuff. Made a nice catch phrase or two. Was good with the pop references. It’s a pity he couldn’t see the line. Maybe he is is color blind? Entertaining is the way to get attention, not trolling. It’s a fine line sometimes and the trick to popularity is to know the difference between some good schtick and sad grabs for attention.

And regarding the color thing, here are some of my favorit thoughts on the matter:

> [@](#):
>
> Color can overwhelm… One must understand that when it comes to color, ‘less’ is often ‘more’–lesson taught us by the masters but ignored by many artists.  
> **~ Joe Singer**
> 
> Truly color is vice! Of course, it can be, and has the right to be one of the finest virtues. Controlled by the strong hand and careful guidance of her Master drawing, color is a splendid Mistress, with a mate worthy of herself, her lover, but her Master likewise, the most magnificent Mistress possible, and the result is evident in all the glorious things that spring from their union.  
> **~ James Abbot McNeill Whistler**
> 
> Colour is uncontainable. It effortlessly reveals the limits of language and evades our best attempts to impose a rational order on it… To work with colour is to become acutely aware of the insufficiency of language and theory–which is both disturbing and pleasurable.  
> ~ **David Batchelor**
