What always happens is that if a discussion gets too meaty, someone, (and that someone is more often than not porkmarras, Cantankerous, or HaydenAsche) pronounces it a "bore" and then starts writing some superficial junk to change the subject.

A self-defense mechanism in action, folks.

You're a fucking bore.

Seriously, I can't be bothered with such nonsense.

[!@#$%!]

oy, people, chill.

just like atari misunderstands the board (he does), people misunderstand him too. i've heard him being called "a robot" & what not.

however, i was reading nietzsche the other day (yes, call me pretentions, you dull tv-watching fucks), and i found this paragraph that illuminated atari's plight so i copied it. here it goes:

--------

Beyond Good and Evil

What is Noble

~282 ~

--"But whatever happened to you?"

"I don't know," he said hesitantly; "perhaps the Harpies flew over my table."

Nowadays it happens occasionally that a mild, moderate, reticent person suddenly goes into a rage, smashes dishes, upends the table, screams, raves, insults everybody--and eventually walks off, shamed, furious with himself--where? what for? To starve by himself? To suffocate on his recollection?

If a person has the desires of a high and choosy soul and only rarely finds his table set and his food ready, his danger will be great at all times; but today it is extraordinary. Thrown into a noisy and plebeian age with which he does not care to eat out of the same dishes, he can easily perish of hunger and thirst or, if eventually he "falls to" after all--of sudden nausea.

Probably all of us have sat at tables where we did not belong, and precisely the most spiritual among us, being hardest to noursish, know that dangerous dyspepsia which comes of a sudden insight and disappointment about our food and our neighbors at the table--the after-dinner nausea.

---

there. i hope that clarifies. for those of you who can't bear fully-formed sentences, and are irritated by the mere presence of this text, please don't lash out in that rage that stems from shame, or i will be forced to behave (more than usual) like an obnoxious arrogant asshole.

Maturity on a board! Nonsense.

Good quote by the way.

[atari 2600]

These people insult themselves. I merely point it out.

I'm far from perfect, but as anyone can plainly see that reads this thread from the beginning, I was targeted firstm nagged and engaged.

You're right, !@#$%!, I should just give up all hope on these people if it's going to make me upset that they reject any understanding in life. I should just say, "fuck it" like everyone else does, including yourself. If you'll recall that's exactly what I promised I would do at the beginning of the thread until I got sucked into their nonsense. Yeah, I should really look out for number one. I should worry about everyone liking me above all and keep it light and trite. You're an expert on that. Will you teach me how to be the "fun teacher" oh great master? I am just a dullard, you see, and I need special guidance from someone of your fibre and caliber.

It should be abundantly clear to anyone that has any understanding of philosophy and psychology that I'm correct in my statements.

It's obvious that I'm dealing with a bunch of dim bulbs that think they light up the night like Las Vegas if they cannot grasp the simple terms in which I was expressing some of the more complex ideas that I posted.

porkmarras repeatedly goes back to this tired assertion that Tokolosh and I were ganging up on him. He seriously insults Tokolosh something terrible at one point which is worse than anything I've written in this thread. As I pointed out, it is he and his crew of rabble-rousers that are the ones doing the teaming together.

[!@#$%!]

well, my point is that when you come to the funnel cake stand looking for a banquet (with all the platonic allusions included here), you're bound to suffer attacks of indigestion & all the colorful stuff that nietzsche described.

i'm not saying "lighten up atari" , but -- this isn't going to be the table you're looking for-- ever. it's like glice hoping this would be a "mental gym," remember?

funnel cakes are tasty though. don't eat too many.

[porkmarras]

Oh give it a rest you tedious arserhole.Enough is enough.This is about the 100th time that you mentioned me today,internet dude.

[porkmarras]

No you are.

[!@#$%!]

The Simpsons is such a brilliant TV show.



Mr. Burns: Now get out!
Lisa:I can't! My mom's not picking me up for an hour.
Mr. Burns: So, what do you think of today's popular music scene?
Lisa: I think it distracts people from more important social issues.
Mr. Burns: My god, are you always on!?

You know, The Simpsons has won the award for best comedy writing from The Writer's Guild of America for almost every single year its been on the air.

atari: i'm getting kinda tired of the "post a whole scene from the simpsons" posts. i know they are the bible but doing every time you post, it loses it's appeal.

[atari 2600]

I'm sure you're not the only one. I'm so sorry it distresses you so.

You know, the internet message board equivalent to flipping the channel is skipping the post.

[porkmarras]

atari,how many times are you allowed out every week?

[Everyneurotic]

yeah, but it ruins the simpsons for me!!! i read the first few words and i remember the episode and you so happen to quote episodes they are rerunning to death here, so then i see the show later in the evening and it's like i've already seen it.

i'm not against you or anything, just make your posts a little more worthwhile

[atari 2600]

so sgt. pepper took you by
surprise
you better see right through that
mother's eyes
those freaks was right when they
said you was you was dead
the one mistake you made was
in your head
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?
you live with straights who tell
you you was king
jump when your mamma tells
you anything
the only thing you done was
yesterday
and since you've gone it's just
another day
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?
a pretty face may last a year
or two
but pretty soon they'll see
what you can do
the sound you make is muzak
to my ears
you must have learned
something all those years
how do you sleep?
ah how do you sleep at night?

[porkmarras]

Let's approach him with caution.
