No. You are wrong again. I've been noting that YF has been posting nothing but copy/paste news articles for some time. I fail to see any 'mistake', but swear at me all you like if your vocabulary has been exhausted already.

P&N is for serious discussion of serious news. This article is about a bush. This does not belong in P&N any more than news about sports or cars do.

The Skoorb Effect: It's when you post a moot trite judgement based comment at the end of a long thread without reading the thread despite the fact that the thread has already discussed and moved on from your point.

And why is that called the Skoorb effect, it has happened since time began. And also where is Skoorb? 😛

Why?

Your cutting and pasting News.

Why not just admit that you saw the word "Bush," failed to read the article, and made a knee-jerk assumption that it was about the president?

I mean, that's better than insulting the OP because you made a stupid fscking mistake, right?

No. You are wrong again. I've been noting that YF has been posting nothing but copy/paste news articles for some time. I fail to see any 'mistake', but swear at me all you like if your vocabulary has been exhausted already.

The article is NOT political in nature. *I* post general interest, non-political news in OT all the time.

STOP. You fscked up and are now trying to cover up by arguing and insulting others. It's obvious and pathetic.

Because Skoorb (long ago) made posts that set people up to do this very thing as a joke. He made an art form out of it.

A forum for more serious discussions of politics and current events. Passions are always high on all sides of these subjects so keep your posts on topic.

Your post would get the checkmark if this was in forum issues 😉

i love how much discussion there is about the article in this thread :laugh:

Not rude, just blunt and to the point.

I'm not insulting anyone, Mr Pot.

Point out the fvckup will you? It's an AP article, it's news, this is OT and you have got it wrong. I'm not covering anything more than you are by arguing your side as hard as you are.

Your constant trolling for argument act is pretty worn out. Try a new trick and see if anybody enjoys that one better, will you?

Why can't you just admit you thought the article was about the president?

There have been COUNTLESS news stories posted in OT, yet this article is your first complaint and suddenly you're a crusader against news articles in OT?

Come ON, man. It's obvious what you did. Just admit it and move on instead of looking like such a fscking tool.

 

[Miramonti]

The thread title is hostile and misleading...take the capital out of Bush so it doesn't look like he actually might have saved a life as president. 😛

If one is going to complain, they have to start at some point. You can't say for sure what his motives for posting were, its merely a logical assumption. Your accusation of skoorb effect ignorance seems true, but there's just no way to prove it.

This thread is the most off the original topic thread in the off topic forum that I have ever seen. I think the off topic force of it is so strong that it ripped a hole in reality on my monitor and gave me a glimpse of an alternate dimension, in which AT had an on topic forum. It was wonderful, with brilliant posts and only the best users were allowed in! But as quickly as it came, it was gone, and I was left to face the harsh reality of the internet as it exists right now 🙁

Firstly, try posting without insults, just once.

Secondly, it's news, it's about the hurricane, it's YET ANOTHER HURRICANE NEWS THREAD.

All I did was suggest it should be posted in P&N. You got a bee in your bonnet about President Bush. See how there are no edit's in my initial posts?

I'll stand by it till you drop dead if you want.

 

[PingSpike]

LOL...that Bush deserves to have its name capitalized. Its mighty roots of heroism saved those officers.

One of which was a YF thread. Take a look at his threads created in OT. See the ratio of News to other content, then see why this one (for me) was just a post to far.

Still standing by it.

Yes, I've noticed most of his posts are copy-pasted news. So because of that he should be singled out and have to post all non-political news in P&N? 😕 Do you really think Art Garfunkel's pot smoking habits belong in P&N? OT is the place for threads like this. I stand by MY original assertion that this is no different from all of the car-related news stories NFS4 posts, or all of the sports-related news stories in OT.

Since the link in my OP above doesn't work (doesn't link to the archived old thread), here is the thread that started it all: Skoorb is a spoiled brat!

I'll give you that. I'm mostly having to defend myself from the claim that I 'Thought this was about President Bush and therefore political so it should be in P&N'. Which is not the case.

And it's Friday, so b1tch, b1tch, b1tch!

Sure, I do post many pasted stories from other places - but so does NFS4, yet you don't single him out? Or when someone posts about a looting story etc. etc.

Isn't this a better use of OT bw than the billionth thread about shaving 'down there' or complaints about gas or why I can't get dates???

Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry or resentful toward your comments - I just find them kind of interesting.
