I posted something like this in forum issues after I first joined. Something to the effect of "please be nicer to each other".

:roll: at myself now.

99% of it is just bored, fun neffing.

That would be awesome. I'd have seniority over about 99.99% of the people on here, considering that I joined in either 97 or 98.

Ask the mods about my history.


Who did you used to be?

You've been here for a month. You don't get to offer suggestions yet (hell, neither do I).

Read my replies. I've been here for 7 years. I was a veteran even before Guy Under the Bridge started trolling the hardware forums. He didn't keep it real 🙂

I see a lot of posts that go downhill fast because someone has nothing to say but they want to throw a cheap shot in there. This of course causes a flamefest. Often the tool of choice is that lame rolleyes emoticon, used to portray a condescending attitude.

We all know that nothing good comes from it, it's solely used to condescend and start arguments which degrade threads. I suggest that the admins either remove it so people are forced to express themselves in a more rational manner, or at least keep a counter and ban people who overuse it, since you know they're starting trouble.

And yes, I know that everyone is now going to reply to this with a :roll:


as opposed to your highbrow contributions :disgust:

I used to be a few people. I was MegaShaft_2000 back when "2000" still meant the future, I was Zorak, M5, and a few other people.

I used to get in arguments with Dennilfloss when all the idiots believed his emotional outpourings about girl problems and getting visited by aliens. I told everyone that the guy was a nut but I just got blasted for picking on a guy who just lost his girlfriend (which turned out to be yet another lie).

Wow, that's an incredibly sharp observation.

One question though- I wonder if that post was a joke? (hint: yes)

Aren't you the guy who hates Jews?

No, I am not the guy who hates Jews. Of course someone went for a hail mary and threw that charge at me, but that's to be expected. After all, this is the internet and Goddard's law holds true for a reason. When I asked him to show me where I said that he failed to follow through with the claim. Apparently, the accusation is good enough.

You might as well also claim that I steal candy from babies or kick puppies.

While I have been known to buy candy from infants at an incredibly reduced price, I do not kick puppies or grab grandmoms.
