140: These Durps are made for Snarkin'. And that's just what they'll do. One of these days these Durps are gonna Snark all over you.
 

And....GO!

Title sucks!

ETA: OK that was 4 minutes after you opened the thread, did I break the record?

(6 hours later)

ASSKRAKEN!

Hey!

!!hey!!!!

A recently-returning poster made me wonder if anyone else had thought of our nickname for him and I came across this funny Google search. Of course considering it might work differently for other people,

the first result when I Google "Ultravile" is the Wikipedia entry for "Ultra Vires" :science:

This title is actually good. We just watched Full Metal Jacket last night.

I expected a Xmas based thread theme with live camels and babes wrapped in swaddling cloth and wise men bearing gifts of derp and snark.

So, what's the deal with eenerms? (S)he tried posting an OP several times, each time having it closed due to lack of discussion (link only OP). Here's one.

Well, I have he(r) on ignore, so that's why *I* haven't responded to any of their OPs. Maybe I am more representative of the durper population (the durpulation?) than I thought? Or would care to be?

That's what happened to me with regards to elucidator. I've had him on ignore for awhile and I wondered how other people could tolerate him, but it turns out a lot of other people had him on ignore, too, because in the past few years his posts have rarely been getting criticism or kudos. You could say they've been ... ignored.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!

I added a category to the Food Feast thread.

I coudn't help myself.

You're a bad girl, Rebo.

And that's why we love ya :D

My entire ignore list on the Derp consists of the one-liner crowd—elucidator, Gatopescado, etc. People rarely quote or acknowledge their so-called witticisms, either because they've got them on ignore too, or because there's nothing there worth replying to. The only trace of their presence is that faint gray "VIEW 1 HIDDEN REPLY."

:hug:

A link for those who want to understand.

Got a link to the thread where she originally got pissy about it? It was before my time and my search-fu isn't up to finding it.

Is it this one?

DrDurpth would like the new Modes to provide clarification on the definition of Junior Modding so that he can rules lawyer in the future. I hope that they are clever enough to not take the bait.

I still think she was straight up trolling.

Yeah, that's it! I knew I had read it before, but I couldn't remember it well enough to come up with key-words to actually find it.

ETA:

I googled 'goat spleen bush' and there's no such thing, but in the process Google gave me the option of completing it as 'goat spleen near me', and you can buy goat spleen online... :haw:

I assume you mean this thread? I'm not sure what he's talking about with "a polite request to get back to the OP." Is he referring to people not sticking to the OP's topic? Sounds like he wants to play thread sheriff and tell people to stay on track.

Yeah. Sorry. Thanks for providing the link.

Being British and therefore knowing nothing of the nuts, balls or biscuits referred to I wish to declare that I have no doe in that fight.

:ohdear:He got smacked for junior modding when he decided discussion of specific SciFi stories was too off topic in a thread about a group that tried to gatekeep what SciFi was:

Eta: I love how you can see people type on Discourse - I saw him get slapped down live and predicted he would soon whine about it in ATMB

I'm eating scorpion pepper salsa

Can't wait till I get to shit

Ah, I see. Thanks for the context.

Yeah, that is some straight-up junior modding. When was that kind of thing ever okay?

Nah, that was 'Drama-Queen Attention-Whore Narcissistic "Look at me, look at MEEEE!" posturing'. Trolling involves 'intent to get a rise out of others', with that 'rise' being negative. She was always just trying to get 'attention primarily directed toward her' (to the exclusion of anyone else that attention might be being paid). Positive would be good, but she was always satisfied by negative attention, too. The only important thing to her was that attention be focused on her, exclusively, and no-one else. Ultimately, that desire for exclusive attention is exactly what killed her. (I have a nephew who lived in Atlanta at the time, and still lives there, I got him to find me URLs for local papers, and found a bit about her death. No, I 'm not going to Doxx her, find it yourself. She was basically trying to get Heroin Jack to prove he loved her, by going out and rescuing her, and it didn't work out, because he was about as reliable and responsible as one might expect.) It frequently amounts to the same thing, but the intent is psychologically very different between the troll and the Opal-like attention-whore. One is other-directed, the other is self-directed. And so ends my 'Sigmund Fraud' imitation for today. :D

She died by relying on 'Heroin Jack' to prove he loved her. He couldn't even figure out how to get up off his ass and go look for her. And so, she died... No loss to the world.

We did? Fuck, I hate it when I sleep through Raffer movie night.

Wait, why was the old thread closed so early?

It was old.
It was tired.
It had already had it's dinner.
It was almost 3:30PM.
Time for bed.

Oh hi.

We're here

But it’s the first night of Hanukah. This one should’ve been about latkes and Maccabees

Where'd that FigNorton character come from? Joined Nov. 19th and seems very concerned about the moderation. Specifically What Exit's moderation.

BTW nice abuse of your mode powers to get the last word in in the old snark thread :D

I totally didn’t mean to! :sciencefail:

I mean I’m not above abusing my powers, but I didn’t even notice it was locked and we've moved on. :rebo:

I’ve long thought we should link to the new thread as the last post in the old one, because half the time I don’t even notice a new thread has started and it'll show up in my userCP and I won’t look like the power mad, last word getter, I actually am.

IOW, oops.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Mod power corrupts moderately.

He's been lurking for decades, apparently.:nancy:

Mmmm... I gotta find a recipe and make some of those again. I used to make them about twenty five or thirty years ago after I had some, but then I just never thought about it again and forgot how.

MrDibble DESTROYS DrDeth with FACTS and LOGIC:

I post this with nothing but admiration, by the way. And I hope it doesn't cross the line for ATMB but if it does it is probably worth it anyhow

Under another user name, of course.

Would that I could make you a batch

Yeah, it was truly a sexy burn, wasn't it? :wow:

Just point me to a good recipe. I've made them before, and they weren't hard, I just can't remember how.

Blame @Pure for not sending out the memo :science:

Check your PMs.

Me too me too me too!
