Nah, seriously, that was an awesome read :D

All Mormons are black doctors who steal bras from their bosses to get promoted. Sorry, that's the truth. I saw it on TV.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, according to that guy, this:

whats the difference between pvp and pve servers?

is a troll thread, because it "encourages heated arguments". And he criticizes the overuse or misuse of the world troll in the same short post... just LOL. My hilarious unintentional irony hunger is satisfied... for today.

skyjedi will probably never answer this, but this kind of attitude just seems a bit hipocritical to me.

I don't see anything hypocritical about that.
Reading through stupid opinions (or opinions differing from one's own) is a popular pastime of many.

Here's what I don't get - why would someone want to spend time at a place where pretty much everyone (backed by scientific research in a previous thread) thinks said person is annoying?

Unless they're a troll, of course.

What scientific research?

Maybe you should look up the world troll on the interwebs before waving it around.
You said yourself it gets used too lightly these days, but now you're doing that very thing yourself.

What twooffour started with:

twooffour said:

Xhonzi, you've been a weirdo since I first read your posts about raising OT children, and you're still one now.

If you wanna read crazy perverted sex fantasies into a few sardonic remarks about a topic made fun of all the god damn time, please continue to do so. Whatever floats your boat.

Now explained as:

twooffour said:

Yea, that was a few personal jabs in the context of an on-topic response. You just jump in randomly with nothing more to say than "oh this mean twofour, this mean twofour, he so annoying please go away, clownpicture".

Calling names and being dismissive is not the same as being on topic, twooffour. Your first post boils down to "You're a weirdo. You're wrong. Whatever."

That's not responsive. Saying, 'it's not perverted, it's sardonic' is not an argument. It's just a way of saying, 'you're wrong and I'm right' and then you use that to say, 'so that's why I get to call you names.' And we've seen this from you time and again.

And then you claim you didn't start off-topic personal nonsense...except for calling into question one of xhonzi's approaches to parenting, of course.

I agree with CP3S that a person should be banned if they constantly drag the forums down.

Yes, I was rather appealing to common sense than any hard "logic", but then, common sense is the name of the game here, and I don't see what more is required.

A movie critic makes a few sardonic remarks about chaste romance in a few movies (also described as having bland romance by other people who've seen them).
A lot of people do that.
It's also connected to issues like parental guidance and pandering to different target audiences while making bucks, so that's an additional reason for it to be the butt of a lot of jokes.

Pretending to be a sex-obsessed maniac in contexts like that (I don't even have to reference the Filthy Critic for that), is a very common device, too.


So I'd expect anyone who's kinda been watching movies, participated on forums, or read through some internet reviews, to catch that sort of thing - or at the very least, consider the high probability that IT MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THAT SERIOUS.

But this one, no, "he mentions sex so it must be genuine obsession, what else could it be??"
Well, common sense and basic experience says that it very well may have been humor. Roger Ebert is heterosexual, and probably doesn't mind boobs, and you don't need more of a "true core" for it than that.

What "arguments" do I need to make in addition to that? It's just common sense. Insisting on sex obsession despite all of that is weird and hilarious. Wanna argue with that?



As for the other issue, again, there's a huge difference between making a few provoking remarks (or references to earlier threads) BEFORE PROCEEDING TO MAKE A POINT ON TOPIC, and just jumping in to say how much a given user suxx0rs without caring about the topic, or what said user had to say about it.

And if you can't see the obvious difference, then you're lost.
Sorry, I'll be more careful to point out that "you were the first to derail this thread by making a post BUILT SOLELY AROUND FLAMING A USER", so you won't have to make any effort to understand what should go without saying for anyone with half a brain.

"You're a weirdo. You're wrong. Whatever."

TV's Frink said:

Unfortunately it's not against the rules.

Exactly. If someone wants to join a community where people are banned for being "unpopular", or "annoying", or whatever, I'm sure there are enough of those out there.
How "fortunate" that kind of system is, is a matter of taste, I guess.


;)

Better than Midichoirians, for damn sure.

Sorry, Holiday Special is the worst of the worst. It may have the original cast that doesn't act as blandly, but... no. It's horrendous.

Wrong Picture.

Well, yea.
You were supposed to imagine it.

Well, then.

*can't clear the cache on the computer I'm using right now, so here's a picture of a sad dog face*

Oh, I thought you'd omitted a picture in reference to my earlier hotlinking failures.
But I guess "Ric Olie" is already funny enough, so yea, nvm.

It depends on the point they're making, and some arguments in favor of the prequels can, indeed, be called excuses.

I think the one about "explained in other media" is a good example of that.

Wrong Picture.

And you're reacting the same way, whether it's a completely sensible contribution in the Politics thread, or one in a more challenging tone as here - so stop pretending otherwise.
It won't be paid for, it won't be bought.

Please go away.

I love how you're only resorting to this empty soundbite after your laughable attempt at a rebuke fell flat ;)

TV's Frink said:

That seems like one of those "no duh" studies.  Also, what's a "fanboi?"

A fanboy.

Exactly.

twooffour said:

Yes, and there are also other guys insisting how awesome Qui-Gon Jinn was and that makes the movie as good as ROTJ.

It's just their opinion. How is that related to what I said?

Because my point was that this community isn't made of prequel haters, and the people I mentioned are the example that prove it?

How it's related... I've no idea.

Unfortunately some members can't help it

But it is not his fault.  Remember, if the majority of people think something, there's no possible way it's true - they're just a victim of herd mentality.

So in your world, apparently no one can blame you and a handful of other people of being collaboratively dumb, without also blaming all opinions of all majorities at all times while at it?

Well, glad to see someone with his two feet so firmly on a floating boat.

Please let "here" be ot.com.

Seriously. Sick of his bullshit gumming up EVERY last topic. I think being a general public nuisance needs to be a ban-able offense. I am pretty sure Ziggy isn't the only one who has thought of leaving this place for a while in hopes that twooffour will get bored/a life/hit by a bus.

Well, why don't you leave it, then?

Your constant whining and complaining cropping up whenever I post something, is actually way more annoying (and unjustified) than me stating my opinion on a given subject (as bluntly as it may get).
So how about we make personal harassment and thread derailment for no reason whatsoever a bannable offense first? We can always add the "getting on someone's precious nerves" afterwards, can't we.

So, yea, why don't you leave for while and reflect on your giant gaping hypocrisies? It's embarassing to read.

those kind of comments were in 100% of his reviews I read?

It was in 5 of the 5 reviews that I read.

Another happy landing... what kind of stupid fucking dialog is that?!
