Green Shinobi vindicated.

Jesus, isn't there something in the TOS about trolling?  Seriously.

If it were enforced, half the icons would be permabanned.

This is why I don't post as much.

Just three more posts till you can add your own tag, though!

Pop quiz:

In this thread, one poster has attempted to have an honest, intelligent discussion.  is that poster

A)  Boogie
or
B)  Ichirou

[Ichirou]

Yes, because this thread is a perfect example of exactly how you always post...when you're sober!

[Cormacaroni]

give it a rest, Ichi

[tehjaybo]

A).  

Cmonnn Senior Member.  


I despise trolling.  It pisses me off, which I know is the point, but I feel like there would be more quality posts if every other post wasn't a blatant trolling attempt.  It's really annoying.

Look, I don't blame you. I know it can be a tremendous strain to type more than one line and three sentences at a time.  Especially when you're expected to utilize reading comprehension and critical thinking skills at the same time.  Some people just aren't up to that.  It's no shame to admit it.  That's why jobs such as being an English-speaking prop for Korean or Japanese schoolchildren exist.

[Ichirou]

Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, Boogie's jurisdiction doesn't extend to patrolling Internet forums for posts he deems "annoying."

[Boogie]

heyy, missed a spoiler edit

Actually, there's worse things about you, such as the fact that you've taken up the mantle of Evilbore's Police Force, cracking down on anybody who doesn't meet your approval as a worthwhile poster.

[close]

Oh?  I wasn't aware that challenging you on a point on the topic of the godamned thread constituted "cracking down on anybody who doesn't meet my approval as a worthwhile poster".

If you actually had the capability of discussing the subject, you'd be doing so, rather than throwing out these irrelevant tangents.

[Ichirou]

Irrelevant tangents such as recycling old Green Shinobi trolls to imply that anyone who has my type of job must have low intelligence (hey, indirectly hitting the half-dozen other folks in the forum who have the same job as me)?

Recycling Green Shinobi trolls?

No, you see, Green Shinobi actually debated with me on the topic at hand.  He embarrassed himself, but he put in the effort.

You, on the other hand?  Well, I think this thread speaks for itself.

Doesn't English teaching in Asia require a degree, unlike the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? 

I actually have a Master of Arts, unlike Boogie.

Well played, sir, well played.

And you're clearly putting it to good use.

Yes, I'm not wasting it debating issues with some cop on the internet, for example!

[Boogie]

No, clearly.

Instead you're wasting it by posting endlessly in a thread while avoiding debating issues on the internet.  Clearly the choice of a superior intellect.

I'm somehow getting you to reply to every single one of my inane posts.  I'm just trying to see how long I can keep this going - you're not all that different from Green Shinobi when it comes down to it!

[Great Rumbler]

Yet another thread brutally destroyed at Ichirou's uncaring hands. When will this madness end? :'(

[Ichirou]

I think it should be in the TOS that everyone should declare whether or not they're being serious about their arguments in a thread, or just being facetious, especially since clearly some are harder to read than others.

This would stop people from wasting their time trying to have an actual discussion about the subject matter. I've been there a few times, and poor boogie just wrote a two-page argument for nothing.

And no, I'm not white knighting; Boogie doesn't need one

The thread title is "Green Shinobi vindicated"; how is that in itself not enough of a clue?

[Barry Egan]

lol.  Not even close.

Not to mention that such a change would destroy demi (every single post of his I read not knowing if he's being serious or not) and Willco (Jay Leno, Republican party, etc.).

Some people don't like cops and use every negative cop story to reinforce that opinion. Arguing with them from your authoritative position as a police officer is the last thing that's going to change their mind. No shots but it sometimes seems like you are obsessed with these internet scuffles and angered when people think they can possibly hold a position you disagree with; not the ridiculous opinions, but like when someone is making a "serious" argument you happen to disagree with. Lets chill dawgs

Nailed it.

[Ichirou]

G'day, Jinfash.

[Great Rumbler]

To be honest I'm growing sick of the "chill, don't take it seriously, this is just the internet" retort. I don't know about other members but I don't want ALL discussions to be reduced to one-liners and brain farts. I thought the whole point of posting real life news is to discuss these issues seriously and maturely, regardless of stupid thread titles.

Also, I don't know how any of you find this situation hard to understand, it's been explained several times; when there's a bunch of people talking out of their asses about a certain subject while there's expert on that matter around, you can't possibly fault him for offering passionate arguments, can you? especially if the counter arguments are extremely ignorant from his perspective.

The exact same thing would happen if there was a doctor, a financial advisor, or a political pundit on this board.

I really hate preaching or state the obvious, I promised I'd stop doing it, but whatever. G'day.

Oh, Jinfash, you're so naive. This is THE INTERNET! We don't have serious, intellectually stimulating discussion here, we're all in it for cheap lulz and feelings of superiority!

[Ichirou]

I would take Jinfash's post more seriously except I know that if the shoe were on the other foot, he would reverse his position immediately and tell us all to "lighten up."  Dude is the very definition of "suckup."

Yea, if this topic proves anything, it's that Boogie has something he can't let go of.

Ichi got put down by Boogie and Jinfash. It's funny to see the shift in Ichi's tone before and after Boogie's epic post on page 2. He goes from arguing with Willco about the premise of a statement to full-on court jester.

Wait a second, Ichi didn't even make this thread . The way he's talking, you'd think he set this all up as joketime. This thread is 2 pages of serious debate with some jokes thrown in followed by 2 pages of threadshitting.

[Ichirou]

Yeah, the first two pages of the thread were serious debate.

[Reb]

Ichi should be fined 200 dollars for his posts.

[Great Rumbler]

Ichi should be fined 200 dollars for his posts.

And that $200 should go to charity so we can all download those seven indie games.

[Phoenix Dark]

Coming from you Jinfash...nah. You've pulled the "guys chill" card more than anyone. And I love you for it, because sometimes people need to chill out.

No matter what Boogie says, someone is going to disagree. This is the internet. My point is that at some point responding to EVERY vapid comment makes you look as obsessed as the other person. If I was a dentist and Hans was here arguing fluoride is poisoning people and is a massive conspiracy, at some point I'd laugh him off and move the fuck on. Arguing with someone like that for two pages is dumb, and suggests just the obsession with authority and control someone who doesn't like police would use to justify their position.

[Phoenix Dark]

Anyhow I think it's pointless to continue my lecture/derailment. Toodles

sounds like you're about to...chill out

I do believe that that is the crunchiest track I have heard in a hot minute.

PD, check this out (skip to :20 unless you wanna hear John Mayer talk, and this video has one of the baddest solos you will EVER see):

Also, I must say I come across alot of cops while working at the porn store, and most of them are easygoing as long as you show them respect.

That's not true!  There were....*goes back and counts* SEVEN vapid posts in a row in the middle of the thread that I didn't respond to!

C'mon, admit it: you were counting all along.
