[RESOLVED] About a 60kb Office Application Suite that I have written for Microsoft...

[FunkyDexter]

I wouldn't speak for Shaggy if I were you!

<Sigh> not that old chestnut. I didn't speak for him, I agreed with him.

Does that mean you want it to end?

Not really, I'd rather see it continue in a more amusing manner. More Wit to go with the Witis perhaps.

[Witis]

<Sigh> not that old chestnut. I didn't speak for him, I agreed with him.

Au contraire, I'll let Shaggy speak for himself:

And my Astrologer friend, said that I was mad and weird, in doing a software package for Microsoft...

Your friend probably knows you best, though he might as well leave Microsoft out of it.

Hey that wasn't called for!!

Not really, I'd rather see it continue in a more amusing manner. More Wit to go with the Witis perhaps.

I think it is most likely that a lot of it was lost on you due to you dysphasic intoxication.

[ThEiMp]

Imagine what the world would be like if iMp was the imperator, the imperial, the absolute ruler of the IT industry?

That's what I was trying to say, that I'm the Imperator Titan of the IT Industry. But then maybe not, in some cases that I have strived to become something that I can hardly see that it really fits me, but then again whom I am to say what God has in store for me, in returning the good work that I'm doing here in the mortal realm...

Just about every megalomanic in history has claimed to be holy, and you are clearly no exception, you child of the devil.
How are you going to satisfy your lustful desires? By subversively supplanting everyone on the planet?

@Witis, do you know how much memory or processing power it would've taken when you create each posts ? How much electricity it would have used for the server machine to process it ? How much coal is burned to produce that electricity ? How much sand have been digged to create the coal mine to produce that much coal? How much pain that the mother Earth had faced while the digging/excavating process was carried out at coal mines ?

Think, think, think..! Why do you want to hurt mother Earth again? Stop hurting her!

Are you saying that you want the thread to stop, in order to stop hurting father Earth?

[akhileshbc]

Dude, I have withdrawn my statement. I don't want to talk about the relation between father Earth and mother Earth now! Go ahead, hurt the mother Earth. And one day, when you reach hell (I'm sure about that. ThEiMp would certainly block your paths to heaven!), you will feel the pain.

I am warning you! If you don't want to feel that pain, stay away from hurting mother Earth!

[FunkyDexter]

Not the thread... just you.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think the general consensus that people are coming around to is this: We'd prefer if YOU stopped hammering this thread with garbage. Things certainly head towards nonsense in Chit Chat, but posting two full pages of drivel over the weekend while occasionally suggesting that another member isn't welcome here is well over the line. Whoever you believe gave you the authority to make such a decision, I can think of a set who will disabuse you of that belief.

[Witis]

Are you a feminist?

Go ahead, hurt the mother Earth.

It's not my thread taking up all the resources!

And one day, when you reach hell (I'm sure about that. ThEiMp would certainly block your paths to heaven!), you will feel the pain.

That was one of the most enjoyable rants I have read in a long time.

I am warning you! If you don't want to feel that pain, stay away from hurting mother Earth!

Dude, you should probably stop now, don't you think????

[Witis]

Not the thread... just you.

Do you like the thread?

Just to be clear, to whom are you talking?

[Shaggy Hiker]

To you. Nobody else has been suggesting that TheImp is a virus or even a bad person to have around. You have repeatedly now, and it's wrong of you to do so.

[Witis]

To you.

You really can not and should not speak for anyone else except yourself. I don't see it as garbage or I would not have posted it.

As I just indicated in post #682 you said iMp would be better off not "doing a software package" for any company (in post #381) implying that you thought he was not cut out for any sort of IT work and that he should not therefore be taking up everyone's time and resources in a thread such as the one he has spawned. Then you went way over the line by completely contradicting yourself, ostensibly because you thought that it would benefit you on this particular occasion, which reminds me of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody "Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me".

The song!

[Witis]

Are you insane? Reread the thread from the start!

[Shaggy Hiker]

I would have to be insane if I reread this thread from the start, and if I wasn't when I started, I would be by the time I ended.

As for your totally misunderstanding and misusing the statement I made back there: I'm not surprised. I doubt anybody else was so confused by it, but, as you said, they should speak for themselves, so why don't you poll them?

I tried to parse those sentences and found that I couldn't, you're not making any sense.

[Witis]

Also do you have the lyrics for Bohemian Rhapsody?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I tried to parse those sentences and found that I couldn't, you're not making any sense.

That is not my problem, and having reviewed the statments in question, I see no point in further clarification. You didn't understand the post of mine that you misused, so I'm not going to be surprised when you can't make sense of any other particular post, either.

[Witis]

That is not my problem

I think you will find that making sense is essential!

[Witis]

B.T.W here are the lyrics.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think you will find that making sense is essential!

I think you will find that if you talk to a cabbage or a stump, eloquence is a waste of time.

[Witis]

If you spend most of your day talking to fresh produce and trees it's no wonder you don't make any sense!

[thebuffalo]

I think he has gone insane! This thread finally got to him.

[Witis]

Yep, I've seen a few go that way in this thread; there really does seem to be a highly contagious form of viral dysphasia going around at the moment!

Norf, souf, eaf, wef; they all seem equally susceptible. Seems to have originated from the souf tho.

[FunkyDexter]

I don't see it as garbage or I would not have posted it.

To be honest, I don't think it's the "garbage" that anyone's objecting to. As Shaggy said, threads in Chit Chat do tend to gravitate toward the ridiculous. Hell, just read the golden Chair thread (which is probably the eldest live thread in the forum) to see that. I think you're taking the ridiculous and banal to whole new levels and it's fairly irritating but I certainly wouldn't question your right to post it (the mods might but that's up to them, it's their bandwidth). I have no doubt that some members of the forum find my inane ramblings irritating from time to time. That's just lige and most of us are happy to live with it.

I think the objection is to your insinuation that another member, any other member is malicious in intent and doesn't have a right to be here. I'm unclear as to whether you're implying TheImp is writing a virus or whether he is a virus but it really doesn't matter. The latter is rude, the former is one of the most serious accusation you can level at someone on a professional programming forum and you really ought to be backing it up if you're going to level it. And TheImp certainly does have the right to be here, just as you and I do... right up until the moment a mod bans us.

Wow, that's the first time I've had the double post glitch. I feel I'm finally one of the guys.

Now that was actually quite witty.

You either haven't been reading the thread with enough attention, or you are having some short term memory problems either from lack of sleep, or as a side effect of the Engish dysphasia virus you came down with recently. Please reread the last few pages of the thread, and ask me again if you still have any questions.

[Shaggy Hiker]

The last few pages largely consist of you posting random snippets from some pop-culture meme that showed up decades ago and peaked in popularity nearly a decade back. Interspersed with that were your occasional shots at ThE iMp calling him a virus and suggesting that he leave. It's those occasional shots that appear malicious and they were written by you. If there is anything in there that supports your accusations, I certainly haven't seen it, so please do point them out.

As I have already shown you are inclined to argue one way at any moment in time and then completely the reverse the very next as long as you have something to gain from doing so!

How are you going with the lyrics for Bohemian Rhapsody? Are there any words that you don't understand?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I've totally ignored your strange references to Bohemian Rhapsody. Now that I have gone back to see what brought that on, I will say that it does fit the Witis pattern: For some time now, you have couched everything in such a barrage of irrelevant, and extensive, detail, that your point could be classified as a concealed weapon.

I'll put it this way, though it will do no good: You misunderstood a statement I made, and I'm not surprised. Written text can be confusing, since it is often devoid of the non-verbal communication that makes up so much of speech. However, I don't believe that ThE ImP was similarly confused based on his reply.
