believe it or not...I even got a little work done today too.

But I had 1.89 pounds of Chinese take out for lunch and I am losing steam quick

I've barely done anything since I got here. I'm signing off for now to get something done before the long weekend. :biggrin:

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

LOL haha! What a dick!

You've single-handedly restored my faith in ATOT.

He stole my schtick that I cant do here any more.

He was very caustic most of the time--but the reality with that thread is that most everyone assumed, for pretty clear reasons, that the thread was started as a spam/troll.

It's not obvious in that post, but all of the typical signs were there. OP got a lot of negative responses because of this, not just from TFP.

TFP was always a target, though.



(but some believe that TFP was Perk's alt account, and this was just the mod's plan to kill the character)

 

[soulcougher73]

Did anyone mention yet that he used to end his posts with "Everyone knows this"?

Just in case no has mentioned it yet, he used to end his posts with "Everyone knows this."

Yes. Everyone knows this.

Him and GA were 2 of the better posters. I miss them both.

Why don't you boy up and do what they did?

In his defense, he thought that was a parody post...someone had posted about their dog killing a cat in their yard a few hours prior to the guy whining about his cat.

I hate cats.

 

[silverpig]

I liked GA. TFP was just annoying jackass.

I feel like we just had this thread too.

KT

Really? I feel the opposite. TFP was entertaining. GA was alright sometimes, and annoying as shit other times.

OH right, that was it--I remember it being assumed a parody or troll by just about everyone...couldn't remember why. TFP was always direct and took things to the jugular, but pretty much every response at that point was the same thing.

And THAT'S why people disagreed with the vacation-come-ban. Not because we just didn't want to see him gone, really, but because that comment seemed more or less "appropriate" in context... (by parody standards).

granted, I can see the fact that it being real in the end, and still not apologizing....but that was a Catch-22. TFP would never apologize, he would die first. The mystique would die that day (which is what fuels the theory that TFP was, indeed, Perk's account. Such an insidious way to kill him off)

Same reason I gave an a-hole response in the dead pet thread today.....troll sense was tingling from a mile away.

1. Bring up topic that has caused crap in the forums previously? Check

2. Remembrance story involves rolling around on the ground drunk with pet? Check

3. Explain that your pet was so ill it was living in its own waste, attempting to start a "put down" debate? Check


I think many of us tailor our response to a particular subject not only by the poster of the topic, but by the perceived seriousness of the subject as well.

there are shticks and then there is taking a shtick and whacking all the departed equines in existence with it.

My pet post was genuine and I just decided to post it. No idea about any of this other stuff you are talking about though. Seriously, if I was going to troll (which I stopped long ago) I wouldn't put as much thought into it as you suggest above.

All of this.

GA was real. TFP was a sock.

Hey man, I've been wrong before, I will be wrong again.

But you don't find it a little odd that you are the OP in both threads that reference TFP?

 

[natto fire]

TommyGT, cheez, and the various other nonstop "persona" trolls could learn a thing or two from him/her. His/her subtlety and wit are lost on many of today's knuckle-dragging posters. I use the dual pronoun because there is no evidence provided to contradict that TFP was an alt of one our female members, who all seem to have higher than normal intelligence.

edit: sorry didn't read this thread all the way through before posting, I guess it has turned into a pet love thread as an aside? I am not one to go psychotic over pets, but there has been an interesting story in the papers here where I am visiting my grandma in Florida. It was regarding two dogs that are supposed to be euthanized for attacking a child. The psycho pet owner crowd has weighed in their opinion by threatening the lives of county commissioners and shelter volunteers and their families.

So while I do like animals and pets, it is clear to me that some folks have taken that adoration and disconnected their grip on reality. I guess email and social media has made it too easy for these types to voice their warped opinions without the same repercussion as a written letter or face to face. As someone who has gotten drunk and posted stuff here I regret, I can sympathize a bit, but I never remember threatening anyone's life here. The point is that it is too instantaneous and too easy to hide behind anonymity

I don't think there is any chance in hell that TFP was Perk's account.

Not really. I asked because I thought someone mentioned it in my pet thread, but I ignored it since I didn't know what it meant. But then I was browsing the forums and saw it mentioned in someone's signature as well, so I asked what it meant. I googled it and found an online store, but figured that wasn't it.

Ah OK. Just strange you would use his catch phrase without knowing any sort of back story....carry on.
