Since you do not understand the bridge reference, how do you know he's not paying you a compliment?

I understand the bridge reference, however it doesn't make any sense in this context.

Perhaps there is a different reference that I am not aware of. Feel free to enlighten me since you apparently know everything.

First, prove to us that you indeed do understand the bridge reference by stating here what you think it means.

I'm assuming it's referring to the old Norwegian fairy tale. That is the only reference to that that I know of. Which is why it doesn't make any sense.

Google got you that far, but this is ATOT, not Norway. One of our most famous ur trolls was GUTB, or Guy Under the Bridge.

Unlike in Noway of yore, our trolls are not fairy creatures who literally live under a bridge.

Rather, they are annoying, disruptive and non-contributory posters such as YOU often are, what with your entirely miserable and stupidly angry comments.

Seen in this light, Newbian's response to you makes perfect sense.

Yet another one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I remember when the onion used to be funny. Now it's a steaming pile of shit.
How is living under the bridge working out?

Google didn't get me anywhere since I had no reason to need to use it.

I'm sorry I'm not familiar with a bunch of members who probably aren't here anymore.

I haven't posted anything annoying, disruptive or non-contributory in here, nor have any of my comments been miserable or angry.

So that still doesn't make any sense at all.

If anyone is being annoying in here it is you and your insults.

wow, I thought you were trying to be difficult in the racism thread; now I know you simply are clueless.

I'm not trying to be difficult and certainly am not clueless.

I'm fully aware of what they are insinuating, but the fact that it's not true is why it doesn't make sense.

I don't have any debilitating medical conditions. Why would you think that?

Lol, call it a hunch.

In many of your internet exchanges, you demonstrate a laser-like focus on one small thing at a time while being seemingly unaware of the main 95% of the actual subject flow.

You also seem to be entirely unaware of how you come across, i.e., you are often ridiculously socially clueless, imho.

Have you not ever wondered why you so often seem to be at odds and out of step with most every other poster in so many threads?

Hey, it's the internet, I don't know you except for how you post. <shrug>

If I have a laser-like focus on something it's because I am actually focusing on something and discussing it. I don't see the issue with that. Other people can discuss what they choose.

I don't see how you could think I was socially clueless....on an internet forum. I mean really. I'm certain I have plenty of opinions which others don't agree with. But I also don't care.

And I haven't wondered why I'm at odds with other posters because I'm really not. Sure I disagree with other posters, but so what? They are entitled to their opinions. If someone is "at odds" with me then they obviously take the internet way too seriously.
