Just seems to me that it's OK to do this stuff in the grey (which is why I didn't post examples from there), marginal in the blue, but not acceptable in the green. That's all.

I thought there was a term for that...etiquette?

I believe the word for which you are searching is "schmetiquette".

29's comments are mildy amusing. Fooling around on the green isn't the coolest thing though.

BTW, hahaha this thread is poisonous.

Actually, the site has its own guidelines, so I think aberrant was just pointing them out.

Nah, someone has to have been here more than five minutes and made some kind of coherent contribution before a flameout tastes sweet. Or, better, caramelised.

And any user who has made more comments in MetaTalk than any other part of the site is surely a sockpuppet?

I also flagged your moronic comment in that thread earlier today. No one, not even someone freaked out about their teapot, needs to sit at the feet of your dur-hur cackling and learn a thing or two. Jackass.

For the record, pyramid termite may have invented fucking, but I perfected it.

And I dunno about the rest of you, but he charges me every time.
posted by Alvy Ampersand at 9:38 PM on May 28, 2006


Agreeing with scarabic, 29's comment is moronic because it so happens that there are a number of pots and pans you can buy at your local store that, if left on a burner to overheat, will release toxic fumes. Yeah, it's teflon coated pans which as far as I can figure is damn unlikely for a tea kettle, but the asker may have just remembered "common coating overheats, releases toxic fumes", which happens to be true.

Alvy, I bought the unlimited yearly usage license for only $19.95. What are you paying?

29, why bother trying to defend "I'm a dick" ?

If you are truly a dick, then get behind it, and make your argument that Metafilter should be able to withstand your dickness.

If you aren't truly a dick, then quit acting like a dick.

You are dick, though.
