Why am I still reading this thread? It's a cesspit. Plus it's a complete mismatch, Samp&Co and Rakeesh can surely find less tiresome and more rewarding discussions.

So which is it? You think like a 14-year-old, or my kid thinks like a man-child?

I think it's more likely that they're both more familiar with the Internet and its crazy ways than you are.

I proudly am a part-time denizen of the box. It isn't a studied criticism of Rakeesh. It just struck me as funny. Like I said, I don't necessarily think it's a flaw.

No, you threw some words together in a way which resembles a meme to you?

If he's trying to speak in LOLcat he's failing horribly; "teh" and using z as a plural on adjectives has been around on the internet since dialup. The fact that he thinks typing like that is definitive of 4chan or current online culture in general makes him sound out of touch, like an old white guy trying to "rap".

Now *this* hilariously enough, perfectly warrants the XKCD comic reference regarding 'the box' [Big Grin]

I was listening to rap before you were born, no doubt. It did exist before people rapped about shooting cops and white people.

Everybody gets old and out of touch sooner or later. It's just a question of when. [Razz]

Misha, I think you may be missing a layer of irony. Although really I suspect part of the schtick when Samprimary gabs that way is that the mockery can be retroactively tailored to fit the situation.

No, I have no idea. Making a joke about my age, though...doesn't make you sound super-old.

and I'm currently resisting the temptation to be immature and post another tongue-smilie.

Are you an interesting enough person to bother asking your age?

yeah, I read a few of your old posts, to get a feel for the person who was attempting to insult me, and I agree with your assessment. I don't mean that in a bad way, it just looked like a lot of one-liners.

So would most people that post mainly one-liners.

Well, except for you. But hey, you're trolling on purpose like I do, right?

I registered to read the discussions and post to make quick observations that don't reveal much about myself. There are worse reasons to register at Hatrack and make posts, like trolling to intentionally ruin the forums so they get shut down. Compared to that, you say the ironic posts Samprimary makes are juvenile? Please.

Heh, yep like me, stevo, except you're not as bad, because you're a troll out of necessity not choice, since you have an unalterably unlikeable character it's the only internet forum role left for you. [Smile]

Is steven's behavior now supposed to be differentiated from when he was purposefully trying to degrade forum discussions? Or, at least, was that what is claimed?

I've never for a moment believed that steven was trying to bring down the forum through sheer unpleasantness. I think he just goes through moody cycles when he gets depressed and craves attention and recognition, and lashes out when people aren't as receptive as he'd like.

Yeah, but he's a liar, and I strongly suspect that he's lying about that. It's the old "Oh, you thought I was wrong? Nah, I was just trolling!"

So... word is DPRK is going to do something tomorrow. (the 10th over there, 9th here) Or in the handful of days following. I won't lie and say I'm not somewhat nervous - I'm not all that confident in their sanity, so statements like "they'd have to be crazy start a war!" aren't completely reassuring to me.

Wars have started for sillier reasons.

Though I'm pretty sure this is just KJU flexing nuts, so to speak. Maybe to reassure the world, or his people, that he's just as batshit crazy as his predecessor, and that any fears of North Korea losing that charmingly schizophrenic quality we've come to know and love is unfounded.

There's another part of me that thinks people who, at best, have the emotional stability of a bratty 3 year old, and at worst, are FREAKING CRAZY having control of weapons that can kill millions of people is absolutely insane. I mean, seriously. This guy could at least kill off a substantial part of the population of S. Korea just for shits and giggles, and I'm not entirely confident it won't happen. I guess I don't even have a point to make, really, and there's nothing I or we can really do to change any of it. I just feel sometimes the absurdity is lost on us as a people, because we've been used to it happening for so long.

No, I assure you, that was my goal from the start. Hilariously, I'm so distractable (bad family history of ADHD--I'm not as bad as some in family, but I definitely have it) that my first posts, 12 years ago, were a discussion about crystallization in raw versus cooked honey, with CT and ScottR.

So basically, my intent was to troll it up like crazy. However, I kept getting distracted (I mean, first POST was distracted, it's pitiful), so I told myself that my REAL intent, deep down, must have been to post substantively, but be an active dissenter, and never bend to social pressure. Hee hee, revisionist history.

And I still keep getting distracted. The non-trolls of you should be glad of my ADHD. At least you get some substantive posts out of me. You just don't get a very nice guy when there's a disagreement.

But the Hatrackosphere is the only place I've ever trolled. All the other forums I've ever posted in are subject-based forums, for music, nutrition, yoga, etc., etc.. They are not social forums like Hatrack. I've made a couple of lifelong friends on those forums, but more by accident than design. I'm glad of the friends I've made on other forums, but I never approach forums hoping to make social connections. That's always beside the point.
