Worm, this is a good place to practice you just Letting Shit Go -- a trait you lack which has made you the single worst poster in the history of both Caltrops and the forum that inspired it, Old Man Murray.

Whatever you do, please please PLEASE, Worm, do not clarify your original point. Do not restate it. Do not say it again, but in a different way. We ALL read it the first time. If you're going to post something to what V wrote, post something new.

I'm willing to help you in this time of need. Please, open your heart, mind and eyes, and let me.

How'm I supposed to talk the shit if the Sysop keeps butting in?

Seriously, are you a fucking moron? I never posted on OMM.

I don't even have a fucking point here, d00d. All I see is you saying "Hey Knuckles is the sports mod of this base and you are the music mod so just post then". So, I kept fucking posting, maybe to pass a few minutes well in my college's computer lab well waiting for the bus. Another second or two when I got home wondering if Ducksworth was a mouse or a dog.

I really don't give a shit about the caliber of what I am writing in reply to a fancied up "Hah, no one here even likes baseball so what is the fucking point?". I know there are about thirteen regulars, I understand this. I get told I won't give a shit about a decent metal album review, then she replies "WELL I WOULDN'T EVER WRITE A FUCKING REVIEW SO HAH" then it all fell apart and I don't give a shit.

You're acting like I am putting forth more effort than she did for her stupid little simile. Overstatement is the new black right?

And yet, your points so far have been pointing out the low caliber of everyone else's posting.

It fell apart long before that, sweets.

And who said I wasn't going to review anything? I mean, seriously? I've made some jokes, with varying degrees of success, but I don't remember saying anything for real to that effect at all. Or to any effect, for that matter.

Nobody thinks you're putting forth much effort. You're one point away from derisively telling everyone they're posting in English.

Here's a handy guide is you're ever wondering if I'm a fucking moron or not. Go ahead and bookmark this. It'll help you out whenever you get into a bind on this particular point.

Q: Is Ice Cream Jonsey being a fucking moron?
A: NO, CORNCHUCK, IT'S PROBABLY YOU.

I know that you never posted on OMM. I was stating that... oh, for Christ's sake! Now you've got ME doing it.

Fuckit. Gonna do it anyway.

Caltrops is a forum that a bunch of us created when the guy who ran OMM kicked us out. IN THE HISTORY of Caltrops and the site that came before it, nobody's had a worse string than you in the last week.

(Course, I say that, and you promptly don't post poorly for the entirety of Thursday, March 11th. Who knew? But. Anyway.)

OK... this -- regardless of what forum we're on -- is what is annoying:

I don't even have a fucking point here, d00d. All I see is you saying "Hey Knuckles is the sports mod of this base and you are the music mod so just post then".

That bit. Bits like this. Give me something new, goddammit. The Worm that did the "The More You Know Post" gave us something new all the time. He was funny, sharp and edgy. These are all traits I want to see in you again.

I want new things from you.

So, do me this favor. Everytime you post the rest of the week, I want you to ask yourself, "Am I clarifying a point I already made?" If so -- DO NOT POST A CLARIFICATION. Post anything else. A slanderous statement. A funny story. A joke, a gape, a jibe, a picture of a high-flying coke-snorting grape Jewess -- anything... other than a reintrepretation of what you've already said.

I quite like you, Worm. I liked reading your posts up until like a week ago. I want to like reading them again. Help me do that. Please.

Ah... I feel for you, Worm.

Used to be, around these parts, you either JUST dealt with ICJ, (which was normally easy enough, because all you had to do to make him shut up was compliment one of his games which would result in him spending the rest of the day giddily stewing in a pool of his own drool, giggling softly to himself), or JUST deal with Vitriola.

Nowadays, though, we're all outnumbered. It's like fighting the Incestuous Wondertwins.

Now with more incest. And less wonder. And more bitterness.

If you can't realize that posting badly is the only natural result of posting well, I can't fucking help you. I post recreationally maybe just for the joy of typing, or maybe because I get off on knowing that some fucking will read it and not enjoy it, but I do so recreationally. They'll be good when they become good again, or when you start forcing them down.

What the hell are you getting at here? I have no idea what you're trying to say. You're not going to start threads here because Steve didn't?
Hey Jonsey... your girl wants me.

Can we have our own private forum?

Thanks.

Hence the reason I pretty much gave up on it.
