Learn how to post properly if you want to hide the fact that you're just a self-linking wanker.

Got it. You know the flag queue works great for this sort of thing also. For those who were curious, elided comments below...

Hey now, it's perfectly okay to self-link in comments, though his link is totally irrelevnt to the thread at hand, and his posting history does bear all the hallmarks of someone gearing up to a self-link front page post and just forget I said anything.

Okay, next time I'll just flag it.

Um, Jessamyn, I've never had a good STD... But then maybe I'm just mocking you back for mocking my AskMeFi question.

posted by davy at 1:55 PM on September 17, 2006

you call that mocking? that was a dignified, though possibly inaccurate, response to that question.
posted by jessamyn (staff) at 1:59 PM on September 17, 2006

It felt so, but then I've been called "oversensitive." Anyway, since when does mockery have to be undignified? (But then I had to be told "A Modest Proposal" was a put-on.)

That's the second time that AskMe's been linked to from MeTa.
What gives?
posted by Alvy Ampersand at 2:11 PM on September 17, 2006

When was the first time? I was just "shitting in [this] thread," IIRC.
posted by davy at 2:14 PM on September 17, 2006

No wait it was another thread, by another asshat.
posted by davy at 2:15 PM on September 17, 2006

Oh wait. I get it. I'm the one who linked to my AskMe question. Twice. Okay. "What gives" is that my mind is clearly going and I need to get out more.

Ooo. Just look at all the buttons jessamyn gets! I bet at least one of them sends an electric shock to the poster's keyboard.

You mean, you don't see all that stuff, too, Stet?

Dammit! I must have let my cabal membership lapse.
posted by stet at 3:20 PM on September 17, 2006

It must be that exclamatoin point that does the shocking, because I can't figure why jessamyn would need to flag a post.

We've been over that, stet. (Warning: self-link!)

But on that topic, jess, just out of curiosity: what does the "user info" link produce? Matt's view didn't seem to have that (screenshot upthread in the link I posted), although that was for MeTa. Not paranoid, just curious.

that's absurd ... why would people call a guy who wants to suck the red stuff out of raw pig liver oversensitive?
posted by pyramid termite at 3:45 PM on September 17, 2006

what does the "user info" link produce?

Just the usual: address, phone number, blood type, social security number (if applicable), employment history, medical records, voting records, sexual preference... Nothing you'd need to worry about.

You forgot the buying history, click history, and archive of the browser cache.

Plus everything that was put on your Permanent Record in elementary school

"they tried to put in cock size, but mine broke the database"

Yeah, those divide-by-zero errors are a bitch.

no, mr crash davis, the program ended up in an infinite loop, which is only appropriate

Nor is it an accretion disc. But that doesn't stop it from orbiting something that sucks.

Sorry, but crash_davis wins the zing.

i was hoping to avoid a technical explanation of why the database crashed, but i see it's unavoidable now

it's like this ... as we all know, matt is running this site on windows, which is little-endian ...

on the other hand, it's well known that macks like me are big-endian

q.e.d.

Wow, this is like that one scene in Buffy (the movie) where PeeWee Herman is like staggering around refusing to die and going all OOO and AHRRR and UNNNNH and it's hilarious because, you know, it's like a metaphor.

crash_davis 1, pyramid termite - 3.

I'm more concerned with the blood pressure implications of having an infinite loop for a penis than I am the fault tolerance of database software.

Some people just don't know when they're beaten.

There's no database in the world which would "crash" or "break" on a divide by zero. That's a well-known undefined result, not a mind-blowing paradox which makes computers explode.

It was a good zing, though. So was pyramind_termite's first one.

There's just no recovering from Mr. C_D's zing, PT. You're just gonna have to accept your fate.
