	Ah, twillitts. Because your sense of humor is stunted and misshapen, the rest of the world is a stupid twat. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It's a reasonably amusing in-joke, I suppose, but I still want to smack twillitts for being a pretentious little shit. Makes me want to go in and post my favorite math jokes, few of which are comprehensible unless you've taken calculus, and then mock him for not understanding. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, exactly. Also, he is apparently the only one allowed to make oblique meta-commentary in the snopes feed; anyone else who does it is a stupid twat. I think he has a few mommy issues. :P (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wasn't he (I have this terrible habit of assuming all pretentious trolls are male; bad me, I know) wanked previously, for that fun little habit of inserting gratuitous line breaks before his paragraphs? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, see, in that case IIRC it was the other guy who was being a wanker. twillitts was just being mildly passive-aggressive. A one-time occurrence, apparently. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Okay, I am so glad that I only check out the actual snopes content and never ever read the comments. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	That is one cool bridge. The best part of the wank is infidel's well-chosen icon. ::applauds:: (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Word. It would either drive me to screaming insanity, or I would go back and forth over it until the French police arrested me for driving back and forth over a bridge too much. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Wow. There are alot of angry, angry people on that feed. (And the only thing I got out of that 'joke' is that it's perhaps a comment that people in the Snopes feed blame every bad rumor on the President? But this time it had nothing to do with the US or GW, so twillits was pretending to be thrown off by that fact- am I right?) (Reply to this)(Thread)

See. That's what I was thinking too based on my experience with the Snopes feed. What I don't get is the hostility towards Twillitts to begin with. Because I didn't think he/she was being wanky till everyone went all... bizarre. Bizarre's the only way I can describe it. Is there some sort of past history with Twillitts that makes everyone jump down their throat for making a somewhat vague joke? It wasn't a great joke, but I did have to smile a bit at it. And then I read down and my brain went "WTF?!"

	I have no idea about the history in the Snopes feed. I never look at the comments to RSS stuff. Saves brain cells, doncha know. I think twillits was a condescending asshole about people not getting their joke though. But then people reacted VERY negatively instead of just... writing them off as a condescending asshole, and poof wank was born. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Yeah, I've only recently put it on my flist, mostly to check out the articles. Just checking some of the older posts, there does seem to be a history of twillits being a feisty lil devil, or a dickhead, depending on one's point of view ;) (Reply to this)(Parent)
