tho’ ironic given recent events :(

3302

The newbies are the least of the problems.

3303

…which gets us to why Tom opened up the registration in the first place.

3304

Maybe all the new accounts are Tom Chick alts and he’s been playing the mother of all pranks.

3305

The funny thing is that sincere apologies (like yours) seem to lead to even more criticism and grief.

Makes me wonder why we should even bother ever apologizing.

Particularly when the selectively incensed are just as guilty of shenanigans.

But then again, I get called a troll here even when I’m dead on-topic.

We’ve buttered our bread and now we must sleep in it.

So in the immortal words of Mr. Spock, “I feel fine.”

3306

Everyone welcome our new administrator.

We should do it because it’s the right thing to do. Because we feel genuine remorse. They’re just words on a computer screen if we don’t learn from our mistakes and move forward, and yeah, we might get ridiculed for it. But we should still do them.

3309

You get called a troll because you are a troll. Or, do you have another name for posting pictures of wine in completely unrelated threads?

3310

And don’t forget the part about being wrong and an asshole when you are “on topic.”

3311

Yup. Nicely said.

3312

This is from that other place regarding that other thing, but it seems fitting given what’s been going on here recently:

3313

Counterpoint: Even when you’re dealing with a bunch of people shooting the breeze in an ephemeral environment, some things are worth taking seriously. Jerri is a real person, and Rimbo behaved like an ass towards her. It was worth apologizing.

(The endless lambasting of Rimbo, on the other hand… probably not)

3314

Don’t you donkeys have me on ignore yet?

Yes. My other name for it is, “Posting Pictures in Threads.”

You may have seen it done by others before, you selective memory-having ignoramus.

HAW! HAW! HAW!

What are you, Cory’s claque?

3315

QUEEG!!! Oh I love Red Dwarf so much

3316

Good band name.

3317

You’re insufferable. You went into that wine thread and more or less belittled everyone for liking wine, then when they reacted badly you took it to threads all over the forum, calling Qt3 a bunch of wine snobs. It was incredibly annoying, and either you’re a troll or you were so worked up over how much you don’t like people who drink wine that you couldn’t let it go. Both interpretations make you a part of the problem.

3318

There is a direct and scientific correlation between wine snobbery and incessant nitnoid overcriticism of games and their developers.

But that is neither here nor there for this particular exchange.

The point of order, for our immediate purposes, is why do you keep dragging stuff in here from other threads?

That’s not cool.

Don’t blow smoke up my ass and tell me it’s raining when you yourself haven’t even been to the mountain top.

In closing, I’ll post a picture of something that is unrelated to any topic anywhere and yet will be deemed as “trolling” only when I do it:

Enjoy your future canards and don’t let your knee jerk so hard that it smashes you in the face and breaks your nose when you REPORTED me. :)

3319

Seeing as how what I said is relevant to you being a troll, it’s relevant to what you said in this thread, but I think you know that.

As for reporting you, well, if I’d done that I wouldn’t have bothered to give you shit. Being obnoxious and being out of control to the point of needing to be flagged for Tom are entirely two different things.

There’s a damn good country music song in there somewhere.
