Topic: Most telling Posted: July 02 2013 at 09:32 |
Knobs may be wrong, but it seems I started a RETRO-PROG thread.
I KNOWS I had sumfink going on retro and the response on this VERY IMPORTANT PROG TOPIC was abysmal.
Now I cant even find the thread.
Probably secreted to some non-prog discussion cubby here.
Shameful.

The most telling thing is you're an idiot. (and I use that term in the most correct manner known) Now, open one more pointless thread in the wrong lounge and you get a special no expense spent vacation.

I imagine most people suspected it was a trap and weren't going to get caught in it.

It's seems to follow the link is beyond Knoby's intellectual abilities.

Maybe someday superpwog superman will learn that the forum has a search function Hopefully someday he will learn to talk like normal people too, but I'm afraid that's too much asking for.
But hey, we should be forgiving because he posted about A VERY IMPORTANT PROG TOPIC !!!

it's not Alzheimer, it looks like ADD mixed with paranoïa and Asperger syndrom.

I must have missed a lot from Knoobs over the past two days of my near absence.
While I was reading his stuff, a thought crossed my mind: he posts things on our forum, and we react to those things, each reaction is more/less jocular then the next, some mixed with agitation. Sometimes those things come with insults. In my view this just doesn't bode well for the impression this forum (and maybe even the whole site, if I may) makes on the guests who come here or the solo acts/bands, like iamthemorning and others, who want to promote themselves here. Imagine someone reading a whole string of trolly posts here and there and going "I have no business posting here." Naturally, I wouldn't even think about holding admins/mods in contempt for that; after all, they have a rule-book. Nonetheless, what we have here looks like a bad alternate ending for a film ... or, if you will, an alternate continuation. Which reminds me of this Daniel Tosh joke, which I will paraphrase:
"Do you remember 'The Mighty Ducks' ? Remember how in the end they won? But what if we had an alternate ending where they didn't win? What if they lost? Just imagine that moment where they go to the locker room, someone smashes the locker, and they all start #$%^ing off and #$@%ing on each other, and you'd be like 'Wow! Did you see the alternate ending?! I mean, they went in a totally different direction. It was just a little too heavy for the kids.' "
The bottom line is that I don't want us to be those Mighty Ducks, whatever they are. Just a little too heavy for other people.
Send me a PM if you want to get the uncensored version of this post. I mean, all the stuff that was cut out and such.

I began to think the same thing and I've made my mind after reading Dayvenkirq's post: from now on, I will stop reacting to Knobby's posts. In fact, I won't even read the next threads he would open.

Self-explanatory.
