Now THIS is how you clean up the General Board...

I just constantly feel like I'm having a party here, enjoying the guests, mingling, circulating, and you're always out in the street saying "FUCK YOUR PARTY! I DIDN'T WANT TO GO ANYWAY! SHE POISONS HER CAKE! DON'T EAT IT!"

Whatever. The folks that put down the cake on your warning just miss out on some cake.

It's you I feel genuinely sorry for, for the lack of party, the lack of cake, and the fact that even if I leave a slice out for you, you won't eat it.

The cake is a lie.

"Didn't we have some fun though? Remember when the platform was sliding into the fire pit and I said "Goodbye" and you were like "NO WAY!" and then I was all "We pretended we were going to murder you"? That was great!"

I just think it's funny that I'm the bad guy in this whole thing.

The entire sustained effort it would take for me to do or be all the things he accuses me of being is just exhausting. I get tired just thinking about it.

And what's the payoff? Insulting someone on the internet? Have I demonstrated some lack of being able to do that by my own self without some evil (yet paradoxically cowardly) elaborate scheme?

Seriously. Projection. He should read up about it.

I should point out, the original quote, "The cake is a lie," was misheard. What he actually said was, "The cake is alive," just moments before he was eaten by a red velvet 3-layer job with white frosting.

Poor thing.

I guess he was right all along.

Someone write a folk song for the brave man who gave his life trying to warn us about a groom's cake.

Did we ever get a list of the forums where intelligent people treat Lt like a human being?

I treat him like a human being. He's just not a well-behaved human being and this is how I treat them.

You are the Mother Teresa of the Internet.

I am wondering if there really is a lost forum of Atlantis, or maybe the Seven Forums of Gold, those forums we will never see because we are too stupid to find our way out of Lit.

It could be the next Indiana Jone movie, Indiana Jones and the Forum of Intelligence.

I've been there. I've been a mod there. The patience it takes to say "Yes, I see your point" when in fact there's no point and someone's being a total egotistical moron is something I don't want to do for fun ever again.

I give LJ credit for at least standing his ground during a free for all.

Standing your ground when free for alls are prohibited is easy. All you have to do is never say a bad word or show any tendency toward emotion, because being an egotistical dickhead isn't punishable if you do it with a spell checker.

I go to other forums and it reminds me of the time I went to a bookstore that specialized in Military History. There was a room in the back where grown men fought wars with toy soldiers. Two men were debating the merits of Hittite chariots. They were both very civil, but I could tell each wanted to scream, "You fucking idiot, you don't know shit about Hittite chariots."

What it reminds me most about other forums is that there were only 2 other people in the whole store and one of them was the owner.

Can anyone explain to me why, in my arguments over oil, politics, etc. with people on the AH, no one has ever threatened me, made a "my brother in law would say you're a nigger" idiot remark, or spewed any of the other insane, antisocial bullshit that goes on here on a regular basis?

Oh yeah, Recidiva, you know better than to cross paths with me pulling that shit on another Lit forum. The GB is your place to act out like the little child you are - and I gotta hand it to you... at least you know your limits.

No one else has pulled your bullshit on me outside the GB, either. Which is understandable, since most people are more mature and intelligent than you.

Yes, that was my experience in an IRC chat room that specialized in philosophy. There was one witty person for every 19 blowhards. The chance to have an intelligent conversation was entirely frustrated by having to wade politely through the blowhards to get to them.

Here at least I can concentrate on the witty without being forced to tolerate the blowhards.

It's a much better trade. Sure, I have to listen to stuff about racism and poop. BUT! I get to tell people to fuck off at will.

Dude, I cross paths with you all over the place and couldn't care less about it. You're the one hyped up in your superhero suit claiming magic powers.

I feel sorry for you. I don't fear you.

And in the meantime I hang out with the mature and the intelligent.

The argument can always be settled with one of two magical phrases.

"Clearly, you don't understand."
"That's what she said."

At least it works in DnD.... we don't have have hittite chariots, but we do have flesh gollums and colossal red dragons. Different.... but the same.

I still can't figure out LJ. If you don't like it here.... why are you here?

I think that's about as solid as his assertion I'm too scared to post in the AH, where I've been posting all day.

 

[Le Jacquelope]

I can't imagine you guys have even tried to explain why you behave like shit heads here - and only here - and why nobody, anywhere, on other Lit forums I've been on, has ever threatened me or made an issue of or insults about my ethnicity like they do here.

Ever wonder why the GB is routinely dismissed as a pathetic little forum? It's because of the likes of you.

You're playing the odds, that's why. You've posted over 60,000 times on the GB, and you've made about two hundred posts on the AH.

I understand your curiosity about Lj. Its fascinating, just like pathology. His core problem is the two edged sword of his personality. The leading edge is a consuming demand for approval, appreciation and respect. The trailing edge is a temper tantrum reaction when the approval, appreciation and respect are slow in coming. This means a person has a very short time to consider him, before the tantrum erupts and erases all hope of approval, appreciation and respect. I have watched him do this time and time again with new people. They read his posts, make a comment and point out how his antisocial behavior is hurting his argument, and are soon put on the list with the rest of us.

The pattern of slow approval, hostility, disapproval, more hostility, greater disapproval, incredibly bitter hostility, goes on forever until the other person decides its not worth the time anymore.

As for your question, "Why are you here?" He is here because the General Board is not moderated. The way he behaves here would not be tolerated anywhere else. You may notice that is exactly what he says about all of the GB. That is another compulsive pattern. He believes the words and phrases which hurt his feelings have the same effect on others. Lt (Lj) is incapable of seeing beyond his own body and has no capacity to see things from another person's point of view. He sees everyone in the world as a stupid version of himself.

I JUST explained why I behave the way I do here.

What you can't explain is why you're still here if you hate it so much.

I mean other than that you're crazy. We know that part.

Who besides Le Jerque routinely dismisses the GB as a pathetic little forum?
