That's ok, you can replace it with a veritable plethora.

The premise of this thread is fallacious.  It's not words that are pompous, it's people. And even that is usually projected by the ignorant and illiterate. Rather than crack open a book and learn the English language they would rather wine resentfully and feel insulted. Stupid mouth breathers. A pox on them.

So far mankind has shown absolutely no ability to experiment humanely. But I have often thought of the benefits to mankind of eugenics, properly managed. But that will be done with Gene manipulation.

MB and I used to be blood enemies until that time we met at the Home Depot to settle our differences.  He got the drop on me and nailed the toe of one of my shoes to the ground, then beat me with a baseball bat while I shuffled around in a circle trying to get away.  Did I cry like a little girl, puss out and call him dishonorable?  No, I did not.  I shook his hand and congratulated him.  We kissed and made up, and he's been blowing me on the weekends ever since.

So as you can see, great moments come from great opportunities.  Don't be so quick to dismiss a chance to make a friend in this world.
was that before or after you were banned last year?

Good stuff, good stuff. But I think, while we are all dancing here, we should all take the time to look up the word "sophistry". And, Dps, JackStarr called the podcast yesterday so if that wasn't you  well, that's mainly who this thread is about. (You asked what the purpose of this thread was).

Yes, I do somewhat understand your perspective. You didn't get much chance to elaborate or clarify it on the podcast yesterday. But do you see my side?[A sociopath never seems to glimpse his own lack of empathy. Not saying you… I mean jackster  is one but the sweeping social reaction seems to suggest it. IE, he is perceived that way. And if both sides are not feeling the humanity in each other well, I guess your "game" is deficient.  quote author=DigitalPigSnuggler link=topic=6446.msg280756#msg280756 date=1406138937]
As there is in all sports that are played skillfully.

Here's the distinction: in art, success is measured by the esteem that the viewers have for your work.  In a general sense, the more approval, the more successful is your effort. 

In sports, you measure success by approval of those that like you, and the hateration of those who don't.  In both cases, the magnitude of those sentiment rises as you perform more skillfully.  And so it goes with trolling.
[/quote] yes, these dynamics I already knew. I guess I've just been too isolated to notice if/when trolling became the least bit honorable.

A thousand times NO.  We don't sign up here to read your not so clever crap.  You want to start your own blog or forum where you can share your wit and wisdom and disdain for everyone who isn't you or in your special club, go for it.  It's like putting shitty graffiti on someone's house.  Do that crap to your own place. ("You" here refers to trolls.)
May I ask if you are referring to me… or Jackstar? I am keeping track of where people stand.;-) :-)

When you see this "tell," it's a sure tipoff that what follows is coming from somebody who has no game.
care to elaborate? On impulse Iadded IMP because I didn't want MV to think I was usurping his milieu. Again, as with Albrecht, if you submit a list of words to me that you would like me to eschew I will consider placating you. I don't live in the Zona Roja  so don't know what "baby got game" means. ;-)

Albrecht,Sometimes"milieu" is the word that comes to mind. Once I learn all the words you don't like I can try to avoid them. ;-) "

YP: I don't think disemboweling is involved. It's just a question of reinstatement or not.

you beat me to it. I was about to ask if he said, "did you ever see a grown man naked?"

Regarding the chat room : I'm often in the chat room but I'm on my iPad and I still haven't figured out how to post with it. When I try to post it just freezes. But, just to assure everyone, I'm not stalking anyone.

Trolling as "Performance Art"?

Trolling has long been discouraged and is usually disallowed becauseIMO it contributes to a gradual erosion of healthy social integrity and trust. When trollers treat people as objects, foils, and strawmen to be ridiculed or knocked down it's a blatant form of sociopathism. With no concern for the feelings of others.

Do you think trolling should be allowed on a social milieu under the guise of "performance art"?
(I should add that this issue has its origin yesterday on the latest "SpecSheet podcast where a banned member pleaded this case.)

Good job, señorFidget. I have done transcribing like this in the past. It's fun and it's an excellent way for the transcriber to really absorb the material.

Somewhere, last month, I heard people discussing how Superman might have been circumcised. What with being indestructible and all. One guy said it would have had to have been on krypton, before he left. They didn't address the question of why he might have been circumcised.

The phrase "it's what it is " is forbidden in this forum.
