If I could start some ATOT post awards, yours would definitely be in the same category..

Do I get to make an acceptance speech? Can I let Moonbeam write it? Would it give me the privlidge of not having to see crappy threads like this on a daily basis because one person thinks he is better than everyone else and they should all live by his rules?

Syringer you just got 0wned (cant spell it right)

Did I say I think I everyone who puts a quote in their profile should be executed? Did I say I think I'm better than everyone who puts a quote in their profile? Did I even say they should be removed? No, I simply said they annoy me. I don't believe any action should be taken, for I could care less really what people thought of my opinions. I simply wondered what other people felt about it.

I do not think I am better than anyone in this forum, or anyone in this world even. I also do not believe anyone should live by any of my rules. I have absolutely no idea where you got that from one of my posts. Please clarify what inspired you to say what you did.

Had I said "EVERYONE WITH A QUOTE IN THEIR PROFILE SHOULD BE SHOT" then perhaps I can see where you're coming from, but all I asked was, "Anyone else feel this way?" Is that not how the art of forum posting goes? There are DOZENS of topics posted every single day that I could not care less about, so what do I do? I stay away from them. I recommend that you do the same.

Read your original post. "They act like elitists" and blah blah blah. That is a bunch of BS, or you are hanging out with the wrong people. Stop stalking people on AIM and get some real friends. Jeez man. If I created a thread about every stupid thing that annoys me, I would have been banned a long time ago. There are what, 100k users? 99k threads would be kind of ridiculous...

Well you're evidentely making a post for every stupid that that annoys you.

And again, it's absolutely ROFL-worthy hilarious that someone with sixteen THOUSAND posts and averaging over TWENTY posts a day telling me to "get some real friends". Thanks for my daily dose of laughter. I'm going to be LOL-ing for a while.

Not at all. Just the special ones. 3 or 4 of my posts were helpful to someone.

Uh, ok. How long does it take to make 23.something posts per day? Just a couple of hours. Especially when flaming a kid in ATOT.

EDIT: Didn't realize I had over 16k now... :p

funny how you mock these fellas with high post counts, as people with only a few hundred posts see you in the same light. before you know it, you're going to have 4,000+ posts. besides, trying to bring someone down by their post count is pretty sad, you need to think up something my 5 year old nephew wouldn't think of.

It annoys me when people hyphenate acronyms to create new words, such as ROFL-worthy and LOL-ing. Does anybody else feel this way?
