I see that, as usual, a slightly more highbrow thread descends into 5th grade poo pokes once the trolls arrive... ;)
Is There An Unwritten Rule Against Using A Thesaurus?
Sort:
I've always thought of Fate as a hot, muscular man while Death was an attractive, hot, but heavily made up young woman.
So no, it's not.
I know Death personally though.

Is "the most Panic of fates" a hot female?
why...?
Because if it is then I need to start working on my excessive embellishment of verbal articulation.
Verbosity comes naturally to some. Ask my wife/ball and chain/better half/partner/significant other.

I never use a big word when a diminutive will suffice.

Being loquacious, garrulous or prolix in particular is one thing, but it's sesquipedalian tendencies that are the matter at hand here.
Flowery language works well for gardeners.

this comment just shows how the masses influence the peon's thought process. it's like their thought pattern goes something like this..."everybody else is saying things.... i wish i could say things.... what do other people say..oh right they say the trolls ruin everything... quick say something about trolls... quick."
oh and the OP is obviously a troll calling out all the nerds like batgirl who look up words to sound smart
Lol someone's trolling me

Translation: once macer75 arrives. Next time you can be more explicit.
For people who did not notice it, TheGrobe is mocking another thread:
http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/is-there-an-unwritten-rule-against-using-a-database
To be fair, the OP of said thread had a legitimate question.

That was really your best comeback? Wow. So forced...most people only have to use a nail or two to put up their straw men, but you needed scaffolding and copious amounts of lumber ;)...

Actually, the other troll started the poo flinging...everything is not always about you ;)...

Ha! That's not why we look up words.

Yes... i stayed up all night thinking about it. actually me and the others were working in shifts just to come up with the right combination of words and punctuations for effect. we actually had a few rocket scientist run a few simulations on how the comment would play out in a real world scenario. but alas, all our great minds together couldn't account for someone with such high intellect as yourself.
Pithy.
