So then why do you say he.

I get easily confused when I am thinking about pretty girls.

 

Well, C3PX, his "problem" is so "obvious."  I mean, it's obvious to anyone who can hold water that, unlike what you told him, he just didn't read.

 

I know. That just makes it all the more fun.

And yea, keep tossing clichéd cheap shots, that'll make you right again.

Reading back over it, it did come off as a cheap shot. I wasn't really trying to use it as a jab like "you're such a loser you've never had sex" but more of "if you always talk to women like that you're never going to get any".

Well, first of all, I'm not trying to get Gaffer Tape, second, I might've mentioned it already to some (incl. Gaffer Tape), but I generally don't treat people in real life as I do on the internets.

It's hard for me to discuss this with a serious face, but basically, I'm treating Gaffer just like any other (male) member, and yet with those you're not saying anything like "if you're gonna treat men like that in real life, you're not getting in their pants".
I realize I've just opened a can of worms, though...

You're also not saying "they're gonna fucking beat you up", because you know damn well how stupid that would sound, and even more sexist than you're already being at this very moment :PP

How would you feel about using the word "ass injured" instead of "butthurt" from now on?

Did he really say that again?  I've stopped reading his posts entirely now.  Guess I'll go back and read that one.

And you said you were hip :(

So here's the basic rule of internet arguing for you.

How to avoid making yourself a laughing stock:
If you don't read someone's posts, don't reply to or talk to them. Or say anything to, or about, the poster.
People who DO read them, including the poster, will laugh at you.
The other ones', you don't really want their appreciation.

So let's see if you can keep this up :D

I would reluctantly say that he actually made a good, intelligent post here that I actually somewhat agree with, that doesn't make him sound holier-than-thou, and in which I can't find much in the way of faulty logic... but I made the mistake of saying that earlier today in regards to the Politics thread, and look where that got us.

I guess the moral is, is that even when you're agreeing with twooffour he can't allow to you win, so I guess he just has to point out how wrong you are for agreeing with him.

But if I'm wrong for agreeing with him, wouldn't it stand to follow that what I was agreeing with was wrong?  Otherwise, why would he be against me agreeing with it?  But if he was wrong, he wouldn't be right.  But he's always right!  But if I was agreeing with something that was wrong, and he has to be righter than everyone else, then he would be righter than everyone else, but then how could he be wro...

EXPLOSION!!!

Daisy, daisy, give me your answer doooooooooo...

Crap, I just had a twooffour paradox.

No, Frink!  You can't say things like that!  If you say you didn't read a post, or almost didn't read a post, or read a post on the wrong day of the week, or read a post in a way he didn't like you to read the post, or read the Saturday Evening Post, he's going to have ammunition to invalidate everything you say for the rest of your life.

Oh... like he wasn't going to do that anyway.

I admit I don't hear any hillbilly or ten year old voices, but I do register a monotonous buzzing whenever I read any of his quote pyramid rants, and it does tend to give one a headache.

I laughed when reading this, but on a serious note (only because you're seemingly not getting it):

Yea, that's it in a nutshell, basically.
If you're not reading someone's contributions, you better as well quit replying, because you don't know what he said, and you might come off as a laughing stock without realizing it.

Aren't you thankful for this advice? Well, no need to thank me and all, just make sure you FUCKING STOP REPLYING OR MAKING SNARKY REMARKS, if keeping up means headache for you.

Come on, health is important than some stupid internet battle. Get a sleep or something, go outside :D

No worries. My fantasies don't care about you either.

 

but, if Ah hayed to trahst mah goots, I'd say that "ass injured" is more like something a redneck would say.

Having had the misfortune of spending a period of time living among rednecks, I can say no, it really isn't.

 


Butthurt is a very common, and very cool, classic INTERNETS meme.

Huh, I guess I am a total n00b. I've honestly never heard "butthurt" before. Many of the rednecks I've worked with seem to have a habit of inserting the word "butt" into as many sentences as they can manage. 

I am not much on the whole memes thing. Collective inside jokes shared among millions of people has never really struck my fancy, I think it is the boring non-conformist in me. As far as memes go, I guess a few of them are somewhat amusing, but I think this one needs to die a horrible death. It makes anyone who uses it sound like they should be in special education. I don't think any words that does that can be considered "very cool". Just because a bunch of ten year olds on the internet use it and find it funny, probably doesn't mean you should take it and run with it.

Ooooh, so that means you've read all 7,000+ posts I've made?  You've read all my contributions on other forums?  You've read my personal diary?  You've read the novel I've written?  You obviously haven't read my contribution that C3PX encouraged you to seek out a minute ago.  And you say you don't very well remember the conversation we had when you first joined.  How can you possibly be expected to contribute to this conversation if you aren't completely up to date on every single thing I've ever said?  You would just look stupid to those who are.

So I guess that means I have grounds now to invalidate everything you've said and everything you're going to say because you obviously haven't come to this debate prepared enough to really know what you're talking about. ^_^

EDIT:  Oh, crap!  I just realized that, in an effort to not have my quote box all cluttered up, that I didn't quote twooffour's entire post and respond to it line by line.  That means he's going to assume I only read the portion I quoted!  And since his opinions are always factual, I guess I'm screwed!  It must be true, even though I know differently!

I find it almost fascinating and more than a little terrifying that you've actually gone to this much trouble to so definitively assign motives and complete scenarios for every single person who has engaged you in conversation (and, of course, in every single one of those scenarios, you just so happen to be the only voice of reason surrounded by idiots or mean folk or people who just don't get you... even though you're a self-described rabble rouser... HYPOCRISY MUCH? UNINTENDED IRONY?  BUTTHURT?! =P).  Of course, I find it even more troubling that you actually seem to believe any of it.

I find it almost fascinating and more than a little terrifying that you've actually gone to this much trouble to so definitively assign motives and complete scenarios for every single person who has engaged you in conversation


More than a little terrifying... but just not enough to be fascinating!
Well, there you go again, over-dramatizing everything needlessly!

Like, "you don't pay attention" seems to be some kind of grave insult to you (well, not that, but it gets you pretty upset), and now paraphrasing someone else's own words is suddenly somehow creepy, or terrifying.

Yea, CP was kind enough to tell me in one single post why he liked me before, but not anymore, as if I gave a crap (to be honest, I did feel something of a vicarious embarassment there, seeing someone declare wth such self-importance how much they disliked me now).

And you, well, you get offended and angry all the time, and I happen to remember at what.
TERRRRIFIYNG!!!

So have I mentioned anyone else? Oh wait, I haven't. They haven't told me, and PLEASE, PLEASE, keep it to yourselves, thanks.




and, of course, in every single one of those scenarios, you just so happen to be the only voice of reason surrounded by idiots or mean folk or people who just don't get you


Why not?
I'm the one constantly backing shit up, everyone else is constantly dancing around and avoiding.

Rule of the internet - the one who backs up, is winnah.
Like, if you had some argument on TFN, I'm sure you would leave with the impression of being surrounded by "mean" idiots, too, and you could back it up, as well.

"Biting" sarcasm is only cool when you can (or could) actually disprove the spoofed position. It's merely angry and toothless, if you don't.



even though you're a self-described rabble rouser...


Where did I ever say that? I just like being blunter and snarkier than I have to, SOMETIMES, and I like offending people over NOTHING (go struggle with the wonderful irony of THAT).

I never said I was any kind of "rouser", and I also try not to be intellectually dishonest, or troll just for the sake of it.
Like CP, for instance.


HYPOCRISY MUCH? UNINTENDED IRONY?  BUTTHURT?!


Comeback fail, heh.


Of course, I find it even more troubling that you actually seem to believe any of it.

Well if I'd ask you for a reason, or an argument, you wouldn't have any up your sleeve, so why should I care?

You just kinda fail at sarcasm.

You're easily forgetting that in that same post where you "approved" of my banal comment about homosexuality in Politics (about as banal as this one), you then went on to act like a disingenuous dick.

I might fish out the post for you if you've forgotten (it must be somewhere... in one of these two threads), but I'm sure you remember.

And THAT was the part I replied to in that adversary tone. NOT the agreeing part.

So your whole "sarcasm shatters the universe" chain from that moment on, crumbles under its own lameness.
The paradox to asplode the universe, was asploded.
It was the day when the paradox... became a ahh fuck it.

Um, nope, you must not have read my post right, nor not read all of it, or thought about not reading it.  I guess I should dismiss the rest of your post because what I was saying should be obvious to anyone who read it.  Because the only other contribution I made in that post was voting in TV Frink's poll.  Maybe the fact that I voted for you was enough to get you riled up, but I would hardly call that being a "disingenuous dick."  But what do I know?  My opinions are just opinions after all.  Your opinions are facts... somehow.  I still haven't figured out how that is, though.  Perhaps you could spend about three yards' worth of text on a rambling post that goes nowhere, mentions "irony" about five times, "holding water" about three, and making claims of "backing stuff up" about nine times, with about half a dozen quote boxes in it to explain it to me again? ^_^

This would've been gutbustingly hilarious, had it not been for the fact that your mentioned fantasies had revolved around me saying something in a 10 yr old boy voice. Ah, I mean redneck voice!

Well then, Ahm joost a seemple maayan, doin' mah theeng in... some other country with no rednecks in it.
Ah, well, I just thought it would fit the stereotypical Deep South ruffian to say something like that... but what do I know.



Collective inside jokes shared among millions of people has never really struck my fancy

Well I'm pretty crazy about that, so get used to it :D
There's something about these simple, laconic, idiosyncratic catchphrases that just puts a giant smile on my face, and makes me happy soul.

Not so much butthurt, though, that's just a really fitting expression for an adult acting like a sulking 1st grader ;)

It makes anyone who uses it sound like they should be in special education.

Well that's your opinion, I think it MIMICKS someone in dire need of special education. As that's what it does, it mimicks. :)

Ok, here's the thing pal, it most probably wasn't a 12 year old who said "I am twelve and what is this" on that night when it happened.

Sigh, another sarcasm fail post.

First of all, I just shared my rough memories of what had happened - if you want, you can dig it out and post a link. Or tell me to do so, if I've got anything wrong.
That's what I'd have done ;)

No idea what you're buzzing on about there, or why you're talking about reading all 7000 posts of yours.
If you can't be bothered to KEEP UP WITH A RUNNING CONVERSATION, you should probably bow out. That's all I said.

No one ever said anything about having to search for all my contributions to the world in order to study my personality. What kind of crap is that.

Have I already linked you to that other board about that other topic, where I'm totally nice to everyone?
Yea, didn't think you'd care, either.

Oh yea, and congrats on thinking I took your "Saturday Evening Post" "gag" at face value.
Or maybe I'm not getting something here.

But yea, keep up with the current discussion, or you know, you won't keep up. How difficult is that understand?
When you tell a kid "don't step on a mine, otherwise you might explode", do the kids usually go on yelling lame attempts at sarcastic parodies at you? Like "oh, oh, and what if I step on pavement, will I explode too??"?

If they did, you know what you'd think of them. Now just project.

Oh, I'm so sorry.  It's just that when you said I'd hit the nail on the head when I said that you would invalidate every contribution if Frink hadn't read a post of yours, I assumed that must be what you meant.  It's hard to keep up when you keep changing the rules, though.  I guess you just didn't read my post closely enough, or you would have caught that.  And if you can't keep up with an ongoing conversation, you really shouldn't be participating in it.  Or is that still the rule?  Have you changed that one yet?
