[Boring Issue][Strong Irrational Feeling or Emotion]

[Jadzia]

[long post discussing various points of view and drawing a complicated tautological conclusion]

 

[SiorX]

[Irritated note that this topic has been discussed before. Link to a prior thread so old that no reasonable person should expect the OP to know about it. Passive-aggressive smiley.]

[Animated 15x15 gif denoting amusement.]

 

[Canadave]

[extensive, quoted reply to a much earlier post that the conversation has since moved on from]

 

[ITL]

[long winded, boring, pompous and self-satisfied gumph that will only elicit one tl;dr response.]

 

[Australis]

[expression of amazement re link to thread from 3 years ago. Philosophical pondering on the unyielding nature of change on this board, and postulating we perhaps should follow the Shatner Directive. Also express amusement at old thread, and wonders where some posters are now.]

 

[John Picard]

[off-the-wall remark]

 

[Australis]

[frowning at off-the-wall remark. Seeking clarification, NOW! Of what relevance is OTW remark re ongoing conversation and thread linky dink? Wags finger.]

[praises self for speedy reply.]

 

[MetalPants]

[takes all comments personally, declares that he is leaving the board for good. And this time I mean it, damnit!]

 

[Canadave]

[expression of amazement re link to thread from 3 years ago. Philosophical pondering on the unyielding nature of change on this board, and postulating we perhaps should follow the Shatner Directive. Also express amusement at old thread, and wonders where some posters are now.]

[Completely off-topic post about old member's activities on LiveJournal]

 

[Australis]

[remembers old poster mentioned above]

 

[Koinek]

[ill-informed rant expressing opposing opinion to OP that totally misses the point]

[sarcastic response to above poster ignoring all valid counterpoints]

[General caution to stay on boring Topic, complete with amusing pun.]

[nostalgic statement with a subtle dig at current board administration and broad negative generalization of board's population for opposing [boring issue]]

[Irritated note that this topic has been discussed before. Link to a prior thread so old that no reasonable person should expect the OP to know about it. Passive-aggressive smiley.]

[confession of total innocence with suspiciously vigorous defense of why [boring issue] deserves its own thread]

[links to more fox news articles supporting stance on [boring issue]]
[mistaken link to onion article on [boring issue]]

[hotlinked image]

 

[ITL]

[explanation of why some hotlinking is bad, followed by link to Photobucket]

 

[SiorX]

[The single 'tl;dr' response to ITL's earlier post]

 

[Koinek]

Also, [incoherent link to unrelated secondary boring issue].

BTW, make sure to attend [ridiculous acronym] conference on [boring issue]. Dates are [too soon for adequate notice] and tickets will be [ridiculous price]. You may think that's expensive but you'll get to see [third rate musical has-been] and [second-rate politician with absurd speaking fee] for free! [Attempt at appeal to dubious higher values in order to convince you to attend].

 

[RJDiogenes]

[Reminder not to hotlink images.]

[captcalhoun]

[random LOLcat for no apparent reason]

 

[Nardpuncher]
