Topic: Somethor
Maradon!
posted 01-21-2004 12:34:22 AM
Now, I'm all for bashing Somethor when he says something dumb. Heck, I've done a deal of somethor bashing myself.

What I don't like are cheap shots at Somethor - bashing him without provocation and the like. This strikes me as very petty and somewhat beneith what I've come to expect from the EC crowd.

Really, Somethor's presence really isn't that bad. Step back and realize what we have in somethor: He is a foil to us all. Sure, he can be irritating sometimes (like when he's trying to express any opinion on anything at all) but the mere act of refuting Somethor can be quite entertaining.

Look at it like this: if the vampires were milkbones, somethor is a chew toy. We tore through the milk bones like a ravenous beast, and they crumbled to our teeth and emulsified in our digestive system. We tear into Somethor as well, but he always bounces back. Frankly I'm surprised at how many times he has bounced back, considering all that we've done to him and how harshly some of us have expressed their desire that he go away. Chew toys that don't bounce back clearly aren't food, and can't be eaten, but they can still be fun, and they sharpen your teeth!

In conclusion, brush and floss daily.

oh yeah, and try not to pick on somethor too much since chewie toys can be fun.

As an addendum to my first post, let's examine the anomaly that is Somethor:

He has to realize that most of us don't want him here. He has to know what all those red foe icons mean, and yet he continues to post. Nearly every time he does, he is met with opposition and disdain, yet he keeps coming back. Isn't that in itself kinda amazing? Does he have some sort of ultra high threshold for humiliation? Is he a masochist? neither can fully explain the anomaly that is Somethor.

What did he think when he saw this new thread with his name in the title? What does he think every time he posts even a sidelong comment about Wal-Mart? And what continually draws him here?

The answer is: I don't give a flying fuck. The dude's too annoying, everytime I look at one of his posts, I get pissed off at him. I don't know where to even begin describing what a gigantic idiot he is. He's in the same vein as Paul554, IMO. Just ban his ass and be done with it. Ignore the freedom fighters who will defend his right to continue to make moronic posts everywhere.

I'm not saying he has any right to post here, I'm just saying, is it really a bad thing that he pisses you off? So long as he isn't being grossly abusive.

Yes it's a bad thing when I get pissed off. Jesus fuck, I'm a fat guy that works in IT, I'm already at high risk for a heart attack. I don't need anything else getting my blood pressure going if I can help it.

It's not just that he pisses me off, though, it's a number of other things. He's annoying and just won't go away, so get rid of him.

But it's sweet of you to go all carebear and try to defend his honor. Be careful or you'll turn into Lyinar 2.0.

It's been WELL established that Somthor doesn't operate under normal rules of reason and logic. He's a dumbfuck.

But, hey, if you guys want to sit around and kiss his ass because it makes you feel warm and fuzzy, be my guest. Just don't get whiny when there are enough people that get fed up with him and bust out the torch and pitchforks. I think we're getting pretty close.

This post got me to laugh. The funnay is present.

And wouldn't that be Lyinar 1.0? I'm assuming that the version we have now is beta...

Yeah, I actually agree with what Maradon said. I agree that some of his views are a bit stupid (Walmart) and that he is/was persistent about it, but on this board he isn't the only one.

And seriously, WTF is up with that whole "OMG I CANNOT READ A NEWS ARTICLE UNLESS THERE IS A LINK!°§%°" shit?
It's just a cheap way to bash Somthor even more, that's what's up with it.

You think so?

I think you're wrong. I don't think enough people give enough of a crap about him to put together any serious effort to drive him out.

Nice of you to claim I'm "defending his honor" though, when this entire thread is about how it's right to bash him when he posts a stupid opinion. "Willful misinterpretation" much?

Where the fuck did you get the impression, after all the flame wars and threads centered around Somthor, that people are indifferent when it comes to dealing with him?

If you need to keep him around because it gives you someone you can pick on and bully, you've got some serious self esteem issues you need to work on. As for me, I think he's a dipshit that couldn't find a coherant thought in the dark with two hands and a flash light, and I'd love to see him kicked to the curb.
