If it didn’t bother you, then I am not really sure why we are having this discussion. Now I’m going to sound like O.J. Simpson, but if I wanted to be hurtful to the people on JLUG, I think I would’ve had to do a lot better than that.

By recalling who is trolling who in the first place, your state of being not really sure why we are having this discussion sent my ironymeter out of range. I don’t know about your motives, but I’m having this just for fun. I couldn’t pass such a bait, it would have been a waste of potential.

  
   Directed at JLUG members except myself? Wow, we should be friends or something..:-) And thank you for these constructive outbursts of you. Now we have five I guess.:

1. I am surprised that anyone intelligent enough to operate a computer would find what goes on over there even remotely entertaining.

2. It makes me wonder what kind of horrors they must have suffered during childhood that made them into such damaged adults.

3. It’s not even interesting to watch them degrade themselves like that. How can they even stand each other?

4. I had the same kind of reaction that I have whenever I see somebody proudly making a complete @$$ of themself in public.

5. You might want to seek professional counseling and/or a stronger prescription.

Yeah, well I’m sure that if they ever publish a “Worst of LUGNET” CD, they’ll have to pay me royalties.

#1 thing that we don’t want here is talking about paying royalties in such an unserious way. Heck, you don’t even put (TM) besides “Worst of Lugnet CD”.

  
   So you were in need of reading ALL of it, even the supplementary material like CTOP page and such, just to understand if you will like it or not? C’mooooon...It was interesting and a fun experience, admit it..:-)

Honestly? I might have spent an hour reading JLUG looking for anything that I would find of value. I didn’t read ALL of it, but I did force myself to read all 11 pages of the infamous Robotic Cat thread, since that is often held up as an example of the best of JLUG. I can enjoy a good laugh as much as the next guy, but I thought that went a bit too far. For me, reading JLUG was a very uncomfortable experience. YMMV.

Not sure... It still feels like you just cannot admit its attractiveness. If you put your hand on a hot stove, and feel it hurts, you would pull it back immediately. But making it stay there to see how much more it might hurt?.. Well, my ironymeter peaked again.

  
   Really?.. Let me eloborate, or actually, let me let you eloborate:

1. It makes me wonder what kind of horrors they must have suffered during childhood that made them into such damaged adults.

3. It’s not even interesting to watch them degrade themselves like that. How can they even stand each other?

Hmm... When I connect these dots, it looks like a picture of a smiley face. What color crayon are you using?

Bley

  
   Sorry, but you lost me here... I’m a E2L’er, I really cannot understand...

I guess we’re both lost, then.

Hell, no!.. I’m obviously winning.

  
   Really?.. I thought the fun I’m getting was mutual..:-) And I know you guys cannot make anything related to Lego lightly, it is such a serious business at the end..:-)

I don’t mind a little good-natured verbal sparring, and to that extent this conversation has been fun. But where we’ve crossed the “good-natured” line (from both sides) I don’t enjoy this, no.

Now my ironymeter is overloaded and broken, thanks to you... You mean, “wondering about what kind of horrors we must have suffered during childhood that made us into such damaged adults” is “little good-natured verbal sparring”?

If not, you have not been enjoying this from the very beginning. How sad it is for you, since I’m still having fun..:-)

   “This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Let’s not argue and bicker about who killed who...”

Why, I’m still happy. Lego is so much fun!...

  
   Wow, you have the potential man... Why don’t you come and join us?..:-) (just in case, all my lego bins are safely closed).

Ah, well now you’re gonna make me blush.

Well... Actually, I was being sarcastic...

   Sadly, there’s a bit too much history between me and some of the more prominent folks over on JLUG. I can’t imagine why. ;-) Really, I would like nothing more than to be able to bury the hatchet with the people who’ve been on the receiving end of my rants here in the past. But I’ve already made my apologies and I’m not holding my breath waiting for any kind of forgiveness.

I’ve read other online forums where the venom flowed so freely, and (as evidenced by this thread) it just isn’t healthy for me. And somehow over the past eight years I’ve never found the LUGNET TOS to be so restrictive as to prevent me from expressing myself. So I guess you’ll know where to find me if you want to take it down a notch and keep chatting.

In the future, I’ll try to restrict my off-topic posts to .fun.

Hey, there are other ways of having some off-topic pun..:-)

(...) You can always tell the other guy is running out of bait when he starts using cuss-words. (...) Huh. Was somebody actually keeping score? I guess your irony meter really is broken. You've proved my original point better than I ever could have. (...) (18 years ago, 28-Nov-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
