Is Part 4 of anything ever good?? — Page 2

Wow, that's quite a butthurt defensive rant for someone who missed an obvious (lame) joke, don't you think? If you really thought that I'd seriously post such a dumbshit crackpot statement, despite the fact that I've been posting here for about half a year now (with a short break inbetween, for implying that that someone may be a DUNCE), you've probably never read ANY of my posts while sober, and shouldn't be forming any opinions about me, or my posts, in the first place.

It wasn't as obvious as you think, I am afraid. You really do come off a bit ignorant much of the time, with nearly a half a year of reading your posts, I think I had good reason to suspect you were using "predecessor" in the wrong way unintentionally. Isn't that big of a deal, not sure why you are being an ass, throwing around insults, and blowing things up like this. I meant no disrespect with my comment, and like I said, I thought well enough of you before you started insulting me. Part of me thinks maybe you were just embarrassed for using that word incorrectly, and are overcompensating with all these insults.

When you said you took "a short break 'inbetween'" for calling someone a "dunce", is that to say you've already been banned for personal insults once before?

As for the comment about never having read "ANY" of your posts sober, that is a very interesting comment to make. Any particular grounds for using that particular path to invalidate my opinions regarding you and your posts?

The way you're getting all offended by my dumbshit stupid "X-ray" remark, really tells it all.

What exactly does it tell?

I wasn't offended by your comments, but they certainly rubbed me the wrong way and erased every inkling of respect I had for you. I am not a fan of people who don't know me or anything about me insulting me out of the blue for no good reason. I think you'll probably find the vast majority of the world's population feel the same way as I do on that one. People are crazy like that.

Just now?  Have you never read a typical twooffour post?

"You must be an idiot if you think that..."
"You are so obviously wrong that..."
"It must be hard to be so wrong all the time..."
"Considering how obviously right I am in this instance."
"You're fighting on the wrong side right now"

And on and on and on.

I'm tempted to put this in my sig so as to always have easy access to it.

No.

Hahaha! He quoted me then provided an example demonstrating just what I was referencing!

That is awesome!

I actually kind of like him now. He has the makings of a fine pet troll. Not exactly Zigfried potential, but potential none the less.

Obvious to anyone who's half familiar with my previous posts, like you claimed to be.
I may have established myself as a condescending smartass around here, but certainly not as a prequel-defending, Lucas-sucking Star Wars crackpot who can't tell 1977 from 99.

If you got the first part, no way you could've missed the second.


Part of me thinks maybe you were just embarrassed for using that word incorrectly
Except if I had meant it seriously, it wouldn't just be an incorrect usage of a word, it would've been GENUINELY BELIEVING THAT EPI CAME OUT BEFORE EPIV.
Part 4 as in "3rd sequel", like Scary Movie 4, that comes after its "predecessors"... you know.

It was just goofing around with fanboys' perception of "the saga being conceived in its chronological order", but hey, believe that I'm a crackpot with no sense of time, if you so want to. At least then your common sense won't be in jeopardy, anymore... OR WOULD IT??



I meant no disrespect with my comment

And neither did I with my neutral "humor transplant" remark, but instead of just accepting it, you had to insist on how "unfunny" my "joke" was (it was; I just couldn't think of any other good 4th parts at the moment, so I just wrote EpIV).

That's the part where you got silly, and everything that came after, you pretty much had coming.

Isn't that big of a deal
Exactly.


I wasn't offended by your comments, but they certainly rubbed me the wrong way
... lol.


insulting me out of the blue for no good reason
Which, again, confirms that you actually took that silly X-ray remark any seriously, which, in turn, "tells it all".
You need an X-ray to find your brain... wow, THAT "rubbed you the wrong way"?

It's only after that post you got really pissed and serious, like "what the fuck's your problem mayan", so don't lecture me about "respect" or "insults".



As for the comment about never having read "ANY" of your posts sober, that is a very interesting comment to make. Any particular grounds for using that particular path to invalidate my opinions regarding you and your posts?

Yes, it's called benefit of the doubt / being nice.
Because if your attention is always this bad, even when you don't happen to be completely drunk, then, oh boy.



When you said you took "a short break 'inbetween'" for calling someone a "dunce", is that to say you've already been banned for personal insults once before?

Wow, Sherlock Holmes, is Sherlock.

The unintentional irony here is so awe-inspiring, I'm starting to get really concerned about the fabrics of reality.

So it's just my opinion that I don't try to pass my opinions as facts... but your accusation of me doing exactly this, was not?
"And he has an annoying tendency"... sounds pretty "factual" to me.


I mean this nicely, talking as someone who you once quite liked (which I deeply care about, too):
You're not having your best day right now. Quit this before you make more and more of an embarassment of yourself, with more and more "ironic" remarks like this.
I'm serious.

:)

Well, what's the matter with me saying that, if it happens to apply? :P

Yes, "sense of humor", in the context of someone taking a joke at face value, really does mean "being able to tell a joke from a serious statement".
NOT "laughing only at the good ones", and neither "being unable to tell a serious statement from a bad joke".

Unless you can argue against that, well, quoting douchey remarks of mine is really all you got left :p

Glad I wasn't alone noticing that. ;-)

 

I wonder if you also noticed something else ;)
Otherwise maybe you shouldn't be this glad.

For the record, I never thought you were under the impression the prequels were released before the OT. When I suggested you look up "predecessor" it was because I was under the impression you were genuinely trying to use it to refer to the movies that precede Star Wars in the chronology of the series. It would have been a pretty reasonable and honest mistake.

Also, when you say you've established yourself as a "condescending smartass around here", you seem to say it with a matter of pride. You obviously don't realize the way you come off in the eyes of your peers. (This would've been a good moment for that "Sherlock Holmes, is Sherlock" comment).

And neither did I with my neutral "humor transplant" remark, but instead of just accepting it, you had to insist on how "unfunny" my "joke" was

Actually, I never said anything about your joke not being funny, that was someone else. In retaliation to them you made a comment suggesting that I am really stupid, which is what got my back up.

:(  For as many posts as he made over the last hour, not that many exciting new additions. Disappointing. Maybe if we keep working him up we'll get some more good ones.

I give up.

All I can hope is that you're aware of the irony here, because you've proven to be capable of extreme irony blindness in the last couple hours.

Damn, still nothing worth quoting. :(

In case anyone missed it, twotofour suggested Star Wars (EPIVANH) is not very good, and that the prequels are its predecessors. I think it's pretty obvious this was a joke, seeing as he started off by saying Scary Movie 4 was good (Star Trek IV, btw, is good too, IMHO).

C3PS then proceeded to not get the joke.

I said it was "kinda better" than the prequels, while actually, it's MUCH better as a movie (I've argued against "well, EpIII is really pretty decent, and kinda more epic than IV" statements elsewhere, more than once.)

At any rate, I'm just writing this because I've seen Scary Movie 4 yesterday, and was laughing my arse off almost the entire time. (Something I hadn't expected, because somehow I had caught the vibe that it stopped being good after 3.)

So that was completely serious :D

Then everyone acted like internet arguments over whether or not people are good at posting, intelligent, etc actually matter.

timdiggerm said: 

and (as you'll see) I don't care.

Probably best not to waste your time summarizing things you don't care about, Tim.

Why would I pretend not to get his joke? His first post mentioned a 4th movie in a series that was "the bomb", his next post just said "others" then listed two other fourth parts. In the context of his first post, I assumed those were also meant to be fourth parts that he thought were good, reenforced by the fact that I like both those films. If I missed any joke there, it was that he intended to call Episode IV a bad movie; silly me. The only thing I had to say about that was that even though it was the fourth film in a series, I didn't think it should be allowed to count as such since it was the first one made. No attack or insult here.

Then he said it was a lot better than the prequels, but he called them "predecessors" which prompted me to mention I felt he was using the word wrong, which caused him to start tossing unnecessary insults. But then things got really amusing, and I think it is safe to say some of us are kind of loving it. Twooffour is very entertaining. I think he has run out of steam for the day, but I expect good things in the future.

Well you should've been, if reading what I said at face value correctly.

So let me get this straight, first you fail by taking an obvious lame joke at face value, and then you manage to even misread THAT?
I had warned you to just let this day go; this is why.


to refer to the movies that precede Star Wars in the chronology of the series
There should be some term for that, I think, but yea, it's neither prequel nor predecessor.


It would have been a pretty reasonable and honest mistake.
And so was your failure to get the joke. So why get butthurt then?




Actually, I never said anything about your joke not being funny, that was someone else.

Ah, my bad.
I've just looked back, and here's the reason why I'd thought it was you:


you made a comment MOTHERFUCKING LAME STUPID JOKE (how more often do you need this spelled out for you??) suggesting that I am really stupid, which is what got my back up.

Can you answer me this, if I was talking to greenpenguino at that moment, then why the fuck did you feel addressed??

As it turns out to be, out of the two of us, you're the one who started insulting (something about me posting lots of dumbshit crap, and having a "fucking problem"), completely seriously.
I was talking to someone else, basically just having silly fun.

So thanks for the correction.




Also, when you say you've established yourself as a "condescending smartass around here", you seem to say it with a matter of pride.

Says who?


You obviously don't realize the way you come off in the eyes of your peers.

As a... condescending smartass?
