Have any of you actually read the post fully? Pattern wasn't telling anyone what to do. Pattern was only talking about themselves and expressing their opinion. Then you all jump on it like a fly to shit.

And we're just expressing our opinions.  They happen to differ.

"using toilet humor" wouldn't that apply to trysts's picture earlier Laughing

In an aggressive and slanderous manner. The original post wasn't angry or self righteous unlike the replies to it.

It was presumptuous to post a stream of consciousness thing on a public forum and think it would be enlightening I'm sure he's not a bad kid but hes annoying for sure.  Can't fault people for being annoyed when someone is annoying.

They let themselves get annoyed. No-one can annoy you, you can only let them annoy you.

It was self-righteous, really.  And the replies weren't angry; they were mocking.

Put simply; the site's T&C state explicitly that religious talk is not allowed in the forums.  That is the original sin (arf arf) here, and when a poster breaks the rules as such, they become fair game for mockery.

Frankly, I think you're being self-righteous in your implying your opinion means more than ours.  If you want to make fun of us and what we say, we won't stop you.  But don't deny us our right of expression.

I can only practice this advice when someone is annoying.  Therefore there are legitimately annoying people in the world.

When did I say my opinion meant more that your opinion?

Heh, when it degenerates to responding only to the last post and using semantics it isn't a real conversation like the stateless conversation used to win turring tests.

"Imply" means something quite different from "said."
