Yea, man, cut it out, please.
People generally prefer lighthearted, humorous fellahs over condescending assholes.

"Between you and me, you do tend to say a bunch of dumb shit, so I wouldn't have been surprised if you were calling the PT predecessors to Star Wars."

So hopefully after your personality change, we won't have to read more things like this:

If your going to try to be funny by making yourself sound like an idiot, at least use a little bit more hyperbole;

Question:
What do humor experts, oh wait, "humor experts", and you, have in common?
A: Nothing whatsoever.


by exaggerating the stupidity of your comments it will become more obvious that you are making an effort to be a dolt in the name of humor, rather than just appearing to be someone who has never seen a dictionary.

So we'll see you on the side, then!
Good luck, man.

PS: It's nice that, after all the projections, you've finally admitted to your small stature. Maybe, over time, all the jokes aimed at your size slowly desentized you to humor, and gave you the aching desire to come off as more deserving of respect, or shall I say, serious, to other people?

It's okay, CP, it's fine to be small, no one worthy of your attention will judge you for that. So no reason to act so condescending all the time, and it's alright to take a stupid joke and just move on.

If it consoles you, there is no need for anyone to use a CT scan to detect your presence - a fine, modest telescope aimed at the top of that mountain will probably suffice.

Now, wow, that wasn't that bad, now was it! It also didn't rub you the wrong way, right?
See, you're already making pr-, ahhh fuck it.

Nah, all kidding aside - it probably would, had it also been tongue-in-cheek, and not so damn self-serious.

Nah, all kidding aside - it really wouldn't. But you're right, I need to stop being so serious and picking fights and being a consistent condescending asshole to everyone in order to make up for my feelings of inadequacy regarding my small stature. 

I really just need to cut it the fuck out.

You probably should, and I'm glad you've finally realized that you were the one who picked this fight. Cut it out in the future, will ya?

While you're at it, you should also learn to stop tossing accusations at other people when you're unable to define, or back them up; 'cause that's really bad.

Feigning sarcasm joke fail.

Fix nr.3... yea, that's it.

Gee Frink, of all the splendid variants you could've picked... why did you have to go with THAT one?

Six posts in a row? Seriously? Not humorously in any way? Like, all of these 6 posts were completely serious?

I don't know when, you tell me.

As it seems, you don't have anything to back it up. So the answer is probably nothing.

So why doesn't CP stop being one? I'd like him much more if he was a lighthearted fellah!

You really don't see the irony in you calling someone else a condescending asshole?  Or you just don't care?

By the way, I apologized to Mrebo privately for what I helped do to this thread, but I'd like to do it publicly now as well.

Sorry, man.  It's just so hard to stop!

And there you are, after an epic sarcasm joke fail, and 3 "fixes" pointing this out (in vain), asking me this question. It's just unbelievable. What's the maximum density of the universe? Have we reached it yet? I'd have to go ask a physicist, as we sure are pretty damn close.

Yea, I do very much hope that I see the irony in that, wouldn't be fucking intentional otherwise, now would it?


(Someone on here gave me an advice not to break down a joke immediately after someone didn't get it. Maybe try to respond with another.

This, ladies and gentleman, is why that was a bad idea.)


EDIT:
The question you should be asking yourself is, who else sees the irony in a guy who started off an internet quarrel with a condescending post (being upset at a humorously, quasi-condescending joke), sarcastically pretending to be a condescending asshole while actually meaning someone else (the one the original condescending post was aimed at)?

Ok, who sees two levels if irony there? Who sees three? Who sees more? How many does it take to annihilate all existence?
Now that'd be an interesting discussion, and seeing how things are atm, a rather pertinent one.

Yeah, I guess your right, Fink. We probably should have kept our fun confined to twooffour's thread. Not that it was really worth much when you couldn't even discuss the topic thanks to a constant barrage of things like "NO, WRONG" and other such trolling in response to every post. 

Anyway, yes, sorry Mrebo. This will be my last off-topic post in this thread.

Hey, not to get personal, but aren't you the guy who constantly gets *sighs* from other people for consistently failing to understand humor? Just asking.

Well, so much for the examples then, eh?

I guess that's alright, as the off-topic derailment of this thread basically started with someone (RedFive) accusing me of "stating my opinions as facts" (first with a quote list, then with that graphic).

So don't bother with the examples that might justify you derailing this thread for 3 pages.
Just pop in to drop a few snarky remarks and OPINIONS not backed up by examples, then quickly bow out when you're cornered. Not after a few times of pretending like you didn't know what I'm talking about, though... like "what, this topic was about remakes, but then RedFive posted something, just what was it? please help me out!".
Just don't forget to apologize after none of that worked, I'm sure Mrebo of all won't mind. :)

Oh god, that was fun reading.

Even explaining the difference between opinion and fact to twooffour becomes a tortured exercise.

The only thing that might be worth responding to in his last "response" is:

You either have the driest deadpan humor I've ever witnessed, or you're an unimaginably boring person.
I could make an educated guess based on the tone of the rest of your post, but I rather wouldn't.

You're clearly being rude (coy, but rude). This perfectly illustrates your manner of argumentation in which you absolutely misread and misconstrue everything (while being rude).

Has my tone been "boring"? You're surely entitled to your opinion (sorry I won't explain what that means). I have been civil, logical, and patient. Those may be boring qualities in your eyes. Certainly given the tone of the rest of your post...

The truth is I tend to have a dry deadpan humor. Don't know about the driest ever. Am I now amazing because I do apparently have the driest deadpan humor you've ever witnessed? Of course not. Need you rethink the "boring" tone of the rest of my post? Don't trouble yourself. We've agreed to disagree so I'm moving on to organize my rock collection.

Yea, sure a pain in the ass to find out that the guy you're trying to spoonfeed with basic, common definitions, actually knows more about them than you do (about those basic, common definitions).

When you've got it through your head that "opinion" can mean different things to begin with, you can start acting all cocky again. ;)




This perfectly illustrates your manner of argumentation in which you absolutely misread and misconstrue everything (while being rude).


Well I can't remember every little point from our exchange, but at the example of the "edit vs. remake" analogy, would you say I misconstrued you as comparing song covers to fan edits?



Has my tone been "boring"?


A bit maybe - it was a snark remark.

I have nothing against civility, but yea, when someone goes out of their way to point out how wrong and inappropriate it was of someone else to say "that's false!" (and then, and then "BOOYAH, now I said that, so do you see now how inadequate that was? see, I'm not really acting this way, it was just an example." - which was probably the lamest "take that" I've read in a long time), while meticulously trying not to offend anybody... it does become a bit ludicrous, eyeroll-inducing, and invokes an image of a boring, conservative grandpa lecturing people about the "proper manners". Either that, or Mr T.





So in that light, I was a bit concerned that you had taken that remark at face value. Thanks for clearing up :D
