Re: The Jerks of Online Forums
Interesting article...
...to add, I am constantly stunned by people's willingness to expose all sorts of their real private lives on line, youtube, etc.
The worst, asshat comments online seem to be on youtube, although often so ridiculous, it is amusing!

I can probably relate most to Johnny One Word. Is it laziness or apathy or is that the same thing?

Do you ever read the comments for stories on CBC's news site, J? Given that conservatives regard it as left of Lenin, there sure seem to be a lot of reactionaries using it as their news source.JulieJazz wrote:The worst, asshat comments online seem to be on youtube, although often so ridiculous, it is amusing!

Where's the "Mr. Handsome" option?

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

I love this line about the Moderator:
"Um, yeah, Newbie0314, we talked about that back when NeverTouchedAWoman24 brought the subject up last May. But thanks for contributing, lol."

Re: The Jerks of Online Forums
I guess this might fall into the "Mr. Credentials" category, but my favorite type of jerk is the kind who needs to mention in every one of his posts that he's a musician. As if that makes his opinion on a song any more valid. Thankfully there's none of these types here. But I see them a lot on other bands forums.
Re: The Jerks of Online Forums
I know this is kinda off topic, but I'd like to take this time to let everyone know I'm a musician.

What's the best way of generating traffic for my probable scam? Why, my bot will resurrect an eleven-year-old thread with the word jerks in it!
