I am not sure where you get your idea that you are God's gift to this thread, . . . Flickerful, Ooops, there's one of those devilish comments that got stuck on my clipboard. I was trying to track down the source. It seems that I remember it recently, from one of the threads and I can't recall which. But I do remember what incredible irony it struck me as having at the time. Surely the poster of that comment must be about here, as they surely would have been warned about such dudgeon, and would be lurking or even posting here in a remedial effort to bring their karma into balance. But alas, I am at a loss to raise the source of this quote, as I guess my proficiency with the search engine is found wanting. So I am wondering who among those enrolled here might be willing to claim the authorship of this post and discuss the progress of their recovery. Do you suppose John Galt might know?

Rotten Tomato's ??? or Sure would seem like wood. ??? As a demonstration of my contrary perspective I am going to be taking examples from message threads here on SI. All characters and messages are real and everybody should enjoy. "Kill Keys" are not wanted, but a referee is certainly needed. I also believe video replays should be in order. I do not know any of the posters in this story, not one. I have no preconceptions, I picked up this tale through a bookmark I have. As it is being reiterated here I thought everybody should benefit from having some veiled allusions, unveiled I have a single question for the *referee* My question has to do with the *rules* Penalties should always be based upon the initial infraction, where was it ? A friendly chat #reply-3528358 Hey look, a buddy, passing on some wisdom ??? #reply-3535502 Well, a contrarian ???, pontificating. He does ask a question, see if you can spot it, he also manages to imply something negative about a large portion of the planets inhabitants, see if you can spot that, the rest is that wonderful good old SI opinion crap. #reply-3536267 Paul replies asking two questions, but not answering the previous question, see if you can spot them. He is friendly and straightforward, yes ??? #reply-3558397 The rejoinder, do we detect a snarl in that last sentence ??? #reply-3558891 This isn't nice, but neither was the last bit, at least this has entertainment value, or does it ??? #reply-3559162 Now this rejoinder is certainly out of line, I mean come on,smarty pants ??? Also note, that while this poster is at it he takes pot shots at other posters that he finds disagreeable. Please note that I am beginning to not like this guy. #reply-3560190 An attempt to restart the conversation, or is it ??? #reply-3561189 The final tantrum. #reply-3561322 I just degenerates from here completely, read it for yourself. 207.183.153.206
