1) Few get high brow humor
2) However, low brow seems to be beneath them
3) Constant attacks
4) A skewed representation where people who support Bush are the majority, when in reality the majority of Americans do not
5) Failure to get sarcasm
6) Failure to see that the "Breakfast Club" term is a freakin joke
7) Several posts made in response to said joke as if it were real
8.) Said posts legitimatized elitist feelings that were previously only joked about
9) Intimidation tactics
10) Selective moderating
11) Poor spelling
12) Poor grammar
13) People acting innocent
14) The same debates happen over and over again
15) When said debates are hit with sarcasm, people freak out
16) Overreacting
17) Failure to have continuity between real posts
18) Failure to hold real debate
19) Failure to address these issues
20) Failure to grow the hell up

21) Don't feel the need to answer waste of time posts.

Stay strong brother!

Seems like 21) doesn't fit the list

22.) Failure in general.

I've noticed a decline in posting ever since the advent of Shout. E vero?

The time of the profound is dead; let us now enter the time of the dead.

21.) because of posts like this...

And those like this.

I've an idea, why don't we continue this way. Next one please?!

22.) Or maybe because of certain members who feel they're much more intellectual and smarter than they really are, who continue to pollute the BB with bullshit, turning off long-time members who actually DO know WTF they're talking about because such childish bullshit behavior/instigation isn't quite what this BB is about. But then again, perhaps it's the Admin's fault for actually letting this continue, cuz he thinks everyone should be given a chance to prove/bury himself, even tho time and time again that philosophy seems to fail him because too many immature idiots who think that they're smart hang around cuz they don't "get it" and think that they are "part of" the "smart" ones and the cycle goes on and on...


BTW, I obviously was NOT saying this to Anthony! I was "adding" to the list!

P.S.

Re:

That is so VERY original. Copying other peoples' sigs... wow... cutting edge shit and way to think for yourself!

Truth be told - what you (well, what you are brainwashed to) consider as a "club" here... Trust me, "we" ( ) don't talk about you, let alone have EVER said such things. We talk about things that are worthwhile and interesting.

wow, my post was a joke -- hence the smiley. maybe the main reason people get fed up with this place is because there's so much goddamn animosity abound, everyone takes everything as an attack rather than light-hearted humor.

it's absolutely impossible to be playful without someone being offended around here. it's absolutely ridiculous -- this is a messageboard, not a call-to-arms.

i thought that was the point of this thread & why it was started: to pin-point how uptight some of us are & laugh it off & try to lighten up. guess not.

I think you give some people too much credit.

Sarcasm and jokes are an offense punishable by death. Hang the traitor, float the witch. You can't have your pudding until you eat your meat.

that seems to be the general consensus.



giving everyone the benefit of assuming that they're sharp enough to absorb & take a joke is too much credit? if that's true, i think i want to disown the human race.

fact is: i've spoken with capo once or twice in PM, i even joined his old film-related message board, i hold no animosity towards him -- so i assumed that he would reply light-heartedly as well, & that would be that; i didn't intend on upsetting people uninvolved & getting viciously attacked because obviously everyone is too uptight to have some fun with humor.

When did you start smoking weed? I'm proud of you!!

When you gave it to me.

How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat!?

LMAO! Floyd

Paw speling and paw granma makes peeple stopp posting hear????

Nah... it only takes Truth to shut people up.

Wel, I shore am relived to here that.

the truth shall set you frea.

And those like this.

No one is going to play my game? I'm crushed.

(SC, standing up): Oooops, sorry, I didn't see you sitting there.

^^^^^^^^^^^
(high brow humor)

Man, that's gotta hurt.

And those like this.

OK ENOUGH ALREADY! I'm getting hungry.

Geoff, SC, let's go. It's time for breakfast.

The Breakfast Club, the Liberals, the Brat Pack, ....

Why can't I be in a club?

Anyone want's to be in a club with me?

Groucho Marx put it best when he said, "I wouldn't be in any club that would have me as a member".

(Thats high brow humor which is sarcastic. The spelling and grammar are correct and it has continuity between posts.... Hell, its the perfect reply!!)

.

I'll be in a club with you, Enzo.

We'll call ourselves the Worldly Apolitical Nexus for Knowledge, Entertainment, Reality and Self-preservation.

Do these type of posts fall under the "failure to grow the hell up" category?



And which of the categories do these fall under: "Constant Attacks, failure to address the issues, or failure to hold real debate?"





Someone here needs to practice what they are trying to preach.
