Improving OOT (long)

[Blarg]

[ QUOTE ]
There is a lot of intelligent discussion in this forum, but many of the posters here are socially retarded. When someone replies with "YSSCKY" it's definitely true that they are unoriginal and unfunny, but mostly they are just trying to fit in socially in this community.

Funny and accurate in some ways, but the last line really cracked me up. People only act retarded to fit in?

Well, then that makes it all worthwhile.

And, serves as a fitting model to others!

While acting retarded to fit in is probably not the only or even a major reason people become OOT retards, and hardly a recommendation for it, I gotta grant that it is at least sorta a funny one.

I just lost a bet with myself on how long it would take for this to happen.

the losing of the bet with yourself is the funniest thing to happen in this thread by far...

A) Quoting a prior post without commenting or adding something. Someone has already said what you were thinking. What is so special about it that it needs repeating? Obviously there are times where this is appropriate, like in instances of offering congratulations, or sentiments of humor, appreciation, or condolences... etc. But for the most part this is a much overused and irritating practice. [censored] your post count.

I feel the need to do this because typically my opinions are worth more than the opinions of others. If some random guy makes a comment, people may not care, but if I quote it, as if to say "I agree with this guy," then people are more likely to listen.

Quite funny, but you need to become much better known as someone who makes gobs of money playing poker before that becomes true.

you know why people like the doctor on 'house', simon from american idol, donald trump, etc? they're dicks, but they're also insightful, funny, entertaining, or whatever and their star quality seems to actually exist because of their caustic attitudes. so people embrace the whole package.

you have the negativity part down pat, but where's the upside to make it worth tolerating or liking? i can't remember a singular good post you've made (including this thread).

So in not so many words what you are saying is that I am an [censored] with no redeeming qualities?

If this thread is useless then I'd have to believe you are obligated to remove it.

You can't remember a good post I've made? Because it wasn't memorable or because you don't remember reading any of my posts? A quick search will tell you if I belong here or not. I am sorry I haven't started enough masturbation polls to hold your interest.

I hadn't realized that my lack of notoriety disqualifies me from commenting and suggesting ways to make OOT a little easier to read. My OP was just to generate discussion. I know how it came off to some, but it was well intended. Take it for what it's worth.
