People Being RUDE!!!

I just finished a game which concluded in an unfortunate manner for myself, and here is what this fiend said to me afterwards:

My opponent: gg

Me: How dare you, vile cretin! Pray you start writing a thesis of apology this instant, with at least twenty peer-reviewed sources indexed in CMS format as endnotes (not footnotes!), else you shall never know my unblock button! You know the Great and Rightfully Brutal Moderators shall chastise you for this!

And to add insult to injury, he NEVER DID send me his thesis! can you BELIEVE IT?!?!!? With the sort of behavior I see around here, I almost think that he may not have even got HALF WAY through.

Fortunately there is a powerful tool with which we are endowed to handle such miscreants: the "Ignore" feature. I believe this comes with even basic memberships to Life. By simply ignoring the above person's egregious behavior, I was able to move on with my life without too many heart and mental problems. One may even suppose that such a feature could be used widely to "ignore" people who are clearly beneath upstanding gentlemen such as ourselves, who, in our most solemn discourses, encounter the slovenly lower-classes who attempt to berate us with their despicable "humor" or appaling "disagreement" or, even worse, their criminal attempts to hijack threads which had once been proceeding, as all threads should, to an uninteresting conclusion.

Truly, we should not be exposed to such baleful acts on this most pure and clean thing which we endearingly call our Internets, but alas, the day is not yet come when the barbarous and ill-mannered shall be banished by some great iron-handed Moderator. But by our Ignorance, we may suffice until such a happy day comes, and be able to at least tolerate the presence of the unwashed vandals. You may congratulate and/or praise me for sharing this brilliant advice with a poem or ode- but please, no sonnets, for I am a humble and modest personage.

you talk weird

That's the most beautiful post ever written! I hate myself so much! Thank you, Ivandh!

Do you see with what sort of abuse I must contend! One would think that they let anyone on this Internet! Would that there were more moderators to delete such a post before I was forced to witness it with my own eyes!

Looking back on it, I too must admire this achievement of mine in the art of bloviation.

If I could only have one moment with you, admiring yourself, I could die!

LOL

Now we're up to 354 threads making fun of Windows that have been made.

um, pics of u.

Actually this one is making fun of Karl. I recycled some material is all.

Which means two in one day.  It's such a shame, because he's just so damn nice.

Aren't they the same person with different accounts?

I don't think so. Karl may be one those letter of the law-enforcing users, but at least he doesn't act like a 12-year old kid about it.

Did you see what he blocked me for in today's thread?

You mean that argument about only stupid/random threads being hijacked?

I'm pretty sure it's just multiple personalities. It's gotta be the same person.

What's the name of the thread?

Yeah, that.  I asked him to provide a specific example to back up his claims, at which point he gave some vague answer, said something obnoxious about not having to respond to me, and blocked me before I had a chance to respond.  Seems pretty childish to me.

It might make the Hall of Fame by power of its title alone!
