Title: Putting this on my wall POSTER SIZE
Post by: Voixdelion on Fri, 06 August 2010, 00:32:15
All recent talk about trolls got me thinking about this jpeg - Saw this originally in a thread at OCN and tucked it away where I couldn't find it.  But I did managed to dig it up again and I think this should be front page on forums everywhere, as well as on the door to my room or on my wall or anywhere I can readily point at it when I encounter lunacy masquerading as a reasonable statement of fact:

ripster just called my posts "lame". I was heartbroken. But which level of the "pyramid of hate" does that fall under?


Also, if I feel like I want to throw the pyramid of hate at ripster and impale him, does that make me a bad person?

There is clearly not enough resolution in that jpeg for a poster-size print. Even after running it through Genuine Fractals, the results of a poster-sized print will be sub-par. Ass hat.

ok, conference, everyone. Ripster just referred to me as a "twat".  It totally broke my heart. But which level of the pyramid does that fall under?

I responded by calling him a "Dumb ass".  Does that make me a bad person?  I was merely lashing out from under my tears. Feel really bad about that. :)

Probably "Name-calling". You all see, I don't call people names unless they work at Crapple.

You? People always make a big deal about kids "finding themselves".

I'm starting to see what ripster means about "more trolling than usual" going on on this site lately.  Starting with him.

It's amazing how much I influence you on this forum where you spend most of your day. Almost every single post you make's about something I posted. I bet I could divide your posts up like this:

Posts quoting Microsoft Windows: 1000
Posts quoting EverythingIBM: 500
Posts talking about Micsosoft Windows: 3000
Posts talking about EverythingIBM: 1000
Posts talking about how bad America is: 500
Useful posts: 1000

Total: 7000

Gosh, I feel like a celebrity!

Ehm, no.

As for your posts?

If you want to disprove my statistic, then I challenge you to quote more than 7 posts made in the past two days that aren't about me or EIBM.

But, until then, you're the Microsoft Windows tabloid!

Was the query perhaps "Posts not about EIBM and Microsoft Windows"?

You guys are amateur league. I was co-admin for a site called Expost, which was dedicated to political debate. Good GOD the trolls. The surprising thing is we actually lasted about two years before the main admin's personality disorders caused him to go emo and delete the site.

This is a very unusual forum. There seems to be more personalities than actual members here. Very fascinating! Psychology professors should use this forum as mandatory reading before discusion in class. That should cause most students to burn their books and change their major to Pastry Chef.

And so the world is a better place.



Fewer pretentious psych majors, more delicious pastry. It is truly rare that one comes across such a win-win situation.

Keyboards aside, this forum quickly became daily entertainment for me.  it was that very fascination with the discussions which kept me coming back.  I've done more contributing here in 4 months than anywhere else in the last 4 years.  I ****in LOVE it!

I agree. I haven't frequented a forum this much since the death of the "dependent music board" - ostensibly a board dedicated to the "label" and it's acts, as well as friends/fans of said bands (of which I was/am both) - but in reality it was a sounding board for many a heated debate and random-**** posting. Good times.
