Outstanding retort. I'll consult peewee herman for advice on how to respond in kind.

Quit trying to play daddy, it's lame.

You sound like someone who has experience in gaming common public forums... Dude you really have no clue about this place. Do you?

You have yet to be Sheldoned. :D That's where a thought of yours that was posted gets kind of gang flamed by people who might be much more talented than you. Except, when it is all over with... when you're left lashing out at no one in particular but generalizing so much you offend everyone, you will realize that you weren't flamed at all. What you thought were flames were just people asking questions to clarify what exactly it is you were trying to say. Your answers became more ambiguous because the reality may have been that you have no idea what exactly it is you were trying to say and that prompts even more questions. In the end it was really you alone beating up your own dang self.

... At that point you either become a productive member of this forum community or you eventually just go away. :)

Whatever the outcome; make sure to have fun and keep in touch with yourself dude.

Nah... the numbers have actually been far too few to matter. ;)

Does your claim include the statement 'thank you' or did you not mean to include real life behavior? If yes, we might as well scrap thanking someone from our human behavior. If no, your statement is contradicting and excluded an important, albeit offline mechanism.

I see you again, Milhouse!

And I know what you're thinking... :D

Neither do you.

But Texrat is a known regular.

You are not.

You have no reputation here.

That is the difference.

So know your place.

Noob.

And in the other post you're assuming admins have the time to vote up or down. LOL. Poor Reggie. You also underestimate the value of the crowd above authority of a few. Neither is perfect. But if you prefer the latter, feel free to live under a dictatorship. ;)

Was that sarcasm? I can never tell.
