The urban_decay community is dedicated to photographs of things falling apart in urban settings. okorok posts an off topic picture of an optical illusion. Apparently, he's done this to every community he's in.

Wank ensues.



[ETA: All HTML is theirs, and is, in fact, what started the wank.]

midnightmadness: Yeah, I thought that too - when I was four.

Don't post off topic shite to LIVEJOURNAL COMMUNITIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

special_pete: oo, look, someone who likes to yell for no apparant reason, other than to bring attention to their already-inflated ego. good job.


-special-

midnightmadness: Oooooo look, and self-important ass that likes to make himself look all high and mighty by defending the person clearly in the wrong and calling the big bad me on being mean. And what exactly was your comment to me supposed to accomplish here? At least I had a point and it wasn’t to simply attack the person, unlike you. Talk about an ego - how much of a pretentious fuck are you to call ME on something? /rhetorical

In case the post is totally lost on you, and apparently it is, this post doesn't belong here. I'm tired of dozens of off topic community posts flooding my friends page daily because of people than can't follow SIMPLE BASIC COMMON SENSE and just post whatever they feel like to whatever community they feel like. I'm not here to look at posts like this, or to read comments from the likes of your self-important ass either. Or would you like me to post the 5,000 off topic images I have to this community as well? Ignorant asses who simply ignore community themes and standards deserve NO consideration or respect, and you certainly don't either now.

special_pete: quite the contrary, Little Man, i'm not very self important, and i certainly dont need to "make myself look all high and mighty" by pointing out the fact that you were being a jackass for no reason other than to see your words in type. to answer your oblivious "rhetorical" [clearly, you dont want the answer, because clearly, you know that you're just being an ass] question, my comment was to point out the fact that, if you had taken the requisite eight seconds to check the existing comments before spouting off on your own, you would have noticed, unless you're too dense in self-righteousness to see clearly, four other comments mentioning the posts' inapproriate nature [in a much more mature, rational manner, i might add], thus rendering your addition to the pile repetitive at best and masturbatory at worst. throw in your arrogant need to bold and raise font size your redundant garble, and you have yourself a flagrant display of someone who just needs to hear themself talk.

your petty attempt at feigning intellectual superiority over me is laughable, as i quite clearly understand that the post in question is off topic here; i never once questioned this, which you also would have noticed if you took a second to read and comprehend what it was that you were responding to before lashing out in a stereotypically sophomoric and alpha defense of your imagined e-pride. i'm not threatening your manhood here, Chief, merely pointing out that it was clearly stated that the post was off topic well before you threw your meaningless two cents in, and that i posit that if you really do get some sort of sick ego boost in being the Biggest Ass to someone, perhaps you might want to consider finding another, more productive, less destructive way to feel better about yourself, like maybe... jogging? a new diet? i'm not telling you how to live, just pointing self-destructive and ultimately futile behavior when i see it.

that was an utterly pointless tirade. i'm really sick of having to explain to people the specific ways in which they are wasting space and holding the human race back. get a new hobby, Cochese.

midnightmadness: On the contrary, you commenting to me, a continuation to comment is a continuing effort to make you look like the righteous one, and consequently, defender of idiots as well. You have 100% no reason or business commenting to me whatsoever or judging me, and the fact that you continue to do so just continues to reinforce your own self-importance. Using the term “Little Man”, as in an attempt to belittle me and make yourself the righteous one, and addressing me with the psychological terms of “alpha defense” and “e-pride” and laughing at my attempt to prove “intellectual superiority” over you, and other garbage (as if ANY of it is relevant to the point of off topic posting at hand anyway) is NOTHING more than your own attempt to put yourself in that position. You sound like a first year psychology major regurgitating every text they learned, instead of a person addressing a point, much less making one. Hey, you wanna be all of that, go ahead. You win the pissing match and I bow to your superior vernacular skills and cede every point to you and call you my intellectual superior – it still doesn’t change the fact that I commented to someone about an off topic post PERIOD, and you chose an argument with me based on NOTHING of the topic at hand!

I brought up a point, and however I chose to do it or how many before me had said it, is none of your concern. Several people AFTER me chose to tell him that the post didn’t belong here. If your feeble attempt at an argument of my “been there, said that” commenting was valid, you would have also addressed this with every subsequent poster in this thread as well, so tell your backtracking lies to someone else that’ll believe the crap you shovel. You have a problem with me and me only, and that excuse is a cover up of your attempt at confronting me in a pissing match – which is your whole goal here, transparent boy.

It is between the poster and me, and the ONLY one that has any other right to say something is the community moderator (which he is more than welcome to do if he considers my words inappropriate, and I will abide by his call end decision). You, however, are an annoying pissant budinski, that commented to me looking for a fight challenge, and for no other reason to inflate you own ego. Thanks for your concern for my “self destructive” behavior, I’ll take it under advisement – I advise you to get a mirror.

Again, as I pointed out to the other joker that chose to call me on my “community policing”, my comment was not addressed to you, and you are a self-important ass for jumping into this whether you want to believe it or not. Whether one person or a dozen told him he was wrong - I ask you what business is it of YOURS to call me on ANYTHING I have to say here? Answer – absolutely none – less than none, in fact. Got a problem, take it up with the moderator.

special_pete: On the contrary, you commenting to me, a continuation to comment is a continuing effort to make you look like the righteous one,

as i stated more than once, i'm just bored.

and consequently, defender of idiots as well.

do you even read responses? wake up, kid, i never defended him. if you're going to make an argument, at least reference things that actually happened.

You have 100% no reason or business commenting to me whatsoever or judging me,

firstly, "100% no reason or business" isnt very proper english. you might want to touch up on that if you're going to get involved in debates.

secondly, i have every right to comment, considering *gasp* i'm a member of the community, too. if you dont want people responding to you, dont open your mouth.

and the fact that you continue to do so just continues to reinforce your own self-importance.

i never claimed not to have a high opinion of myself or my intellect. humility is the crutch of the insecure.

. Using the term “Little Man”, as in an attempt to belittle me and make yourself the righteous one, and addressing me with the psychological terms of “alpha defense” and “e-pride” and laughing at my attempt to prove “intellectual superiority” over you, and other garbage

banter, banter, banter. keep trying to defend your own jackassness. you're an asshole, plain and simple. it's ok. i'm cool with that; why arent you?

(as if ANY of it is relevant to the point of off topic posting at hand anyway)

does anyone else see the irony inherent in arguing about being "off-ropic" from the "topic" of being "off-topic?" just wondering.

is NOTHING more than your own attempt to put yourself in that position.

i dont need to "put myself" in any position. i think you're an asshole who gets off on being a dick to random people. plain and simple. i'm an asshole who likes to point out when other people are assholes. who gives a shit? you do, obviously. it's unfortunate that you are so threatened by that, but it's not my fault, and it's not really something you should be working out in a community discussion... try therapy.

You sound like a first year psychology major regurgitating every text they learned, instead of a person addressing a point, much less making one.

it's really sad that you're still fixated on the idea that i'm doing anything other than pointing out that you're an asshole. it's a pretty simple point, and it has been illustrated splendidly, to those of us who are actually paying attention.

You win the pissing match and I bow to your superior vernacular skills and cede every point to you and call you my intellectual superior

thanks, but you really didnt need to say anything for me to know that.

it still doesn’t change the fact that I commented to someone about an off topic post PERIOD, and you chose an argument with me based on NOTHING of the topic at hand!

see above.

I brought up a point, and however I chose to do it or how many before me had said it, is none of your concern.

it is clearly my concern, due to my being a member of the same community. someone else posted something that you decided to comment on, as is your right to do. i reserved the same right. get over it.

Several people AFTER me chose to tell him that the post didn’t belong here. If your feeble attempt at an argument of my “been there, said that” commenting was valid, you would have also addressed this with every subsequent poster in this thread as well, so tell your backtracking lies to someone else that’ll believe the crap you shovel.

nice attempt at being a sesationalist, but i will reference this comment, where i state that the reason that your comment drew a comment from me was not the redundancy, but rather the manner. so nice try, but i will state once more that you should really get into the habit of actually reading [and possibly, rereading, to ensure that you might fathom the gist of] the comments that you are responding to, because you're making yourself look like a dumbass by arguing points that have no bearing in reality.

special_pete: You have a problem with me and me only, and that excuse is a cover up of your attempt at confronting me in a pissing match – which is your whole goal here, transparent boy.

yes, i have a problem with you and you only here, because you are the only one that decided to be a jackass about pointing out the fact [note, i said it again, FACT] that the original post was off-topic. my "goal" was to point out the fact that you dont need to be a jackass [or maybe you do, i dont know, maybe you had a bad childhood or maybe you just broke up with your significant other or any other countless reasons that people lash out for no good reason; it doesnt change the fact that you're an ass and there's no justification for it.]

t is between the poster and me, and the ONLY one that has any other right to say something is the community moderator (which he is more than welcome to do if he considers my words inappropriate, and I will abide by his call end decision).

not true. if you want to have a private conversation with the poster, send a private email. the second you make something public, it's free game. that's the nature of the public world. you dont have to like it, but that's the way of the world, so you'd better get used to it.

as for the community moderator, yes, his/her comment, should he/she make one, is the rule, but until then we, the fellow community members, have every right to voice our opinions on anything that is stated. even you, as you so clearly demonstrated.

You, however, are an annoying pissant budinski,

agreed. deal with it or shut up.

that commented to me looking for a fight challenge, and for no other reason to inflate you own ego.

half true. i commented because you were clearly swinging your dick around, and needed to be shot down. personally, i would have been overjoyed if oyu had said nothing, and simply shut your trap, but i accepted the [likely] possibility that you were the type to fight over something as petty as your own bullheadedness, a possibility that i had accepted before making the first comment. my continuation has nothing to do with inflating my own ego, however, as it is already large enough, and mocking the likes of you doesnt rate high enough to budge it up a notch. sorry.

Thanks for your concern for my “self destructive” behavior, I’ll take it under advisement – I advise you to get a mirror.

got one, but thanks. =)

Again, as I pointed out to the other joker that chose to call me on my “community policing”, my comment was not addressed to you,

nope, but it was in a community of which i am a part. if you dont want people responding to your comments, they have this invention called e-mail that might be right up your alley.

and you are a self-important ass for jumping into this whether you want to believe it or not.

i never claimed that my shit doesnt stink, buddy, only that you're an ass. you seem to keep missing that point. why is that?

Whether one person or a dozen told him he was wrong -

see above.

I ask you what business is it of YOURS to call me on ANYTHING I have to say here?

the same business that YOU have to call anyone else out on anything THEY say in this community, Swifty. if you dont want to be responded to, dont open your mouth in public, Shnookums.

Got a problem, take it up with the moderator.

no thanks, i'm a man who likes to cut out the middleman. deal with it.

midnightmadness: Oh, and BTW too, why don’t you check out his friends page.
http://www.livejournal.com/users/okorok/friends

He spammed every community he’s a member of with this post.

And I am the big bad wrong one for calling him on it here. Go defend idiots, and criticize people that call them such, in the LJ idiots group, will you – or better yet, go create one yourself.

special_pete: note 1: how ironic, your comment subject here, as you seem to be the one to do extra research to defend your own asshole tendencies. which one of us has a notion of ego vested in this, again?

note 2: i didnt check his friends page, because he is insignificant to me. i could care less about him or his posts; to be honest, the reason i even looked at the comments in the first place was to make sure someone had mentioned that it was off-topic. if there were no such comments, i would have made one myself. but there were already four of them. as a result, i didnt feel the self-entitled need to say the same damn thing as everyone else; my point was already made. the only reason that you drew my attention was, as electricwalrus said, the big bold characters, clearly a statement of a haughty, failing self-image.

note 3: no, you arent the "big bad one" for "calling him on it" [though, i do recommend that you also do some investigation into the existence of a possible persecution complex forming in your argument there]. you're the "big bad one" for needing to be an asshole about it.

note 4: i never once defended him, which, again, you can notice if you check the comments again and actually read them this time. i didnt defend him, i merely said you were being a jackass. big difference.

thanks for playing; you're still an ass. feel free to retort again, i'll be here all day, and work is somewhat boring today. good luck!

midnightmadness: I've mostly said all I need to say to you in my other comment. You just continue to strut around in an attempt to prove you have the biggest e-cock and continue with your transparent attempt that you are the one actually big enough to take on the "big bad mean one" that you also, coincidentally, accuse of the behavior. It's easy to come out on top when you create your own nemesis isn't it?

Got a problem with me, take it up with the moderator, if not, take your transparent challenge attempts elsewhere. I concede that you "win" and are right about everything in the universe if you just take the hot loving cup of shut the hell up for your prize.

special_pete: I've mostly said all I need to say to you in my other comment.

really? damn, i was hoping that once you actually read this post, you'd start making sense. oh well, that's what i get for having high expectations.

you should really reread the comments, Genius. you were an asshole for no valid reason; i called you on it. plain and simple. pay attention, this WILL be on the test.

Got a problem with me, take it up with the moderator,

i dont care enough to do so. i dont want you banned, nor silenced. i believe that you should have the right to display to the world your pride, arrogance, and feeble mind any time you see fit, so long as others are welcome to laugh at you when you do. i dont, generally, endorse censorship, but i readily support open season on morons who open their mouths. thus, this discussion.

if not, take your transparent challenge attempts elsewhere.

less of a challenge, and more of a calling. it is a typical reaction of the ignorant and aggressive to perceive "threats" and "challenges" where there are none. such is life.

I concede that you "win"

i already knew that.

and are right about everything in the universe

i wouldnt go that far, but definitely insofar as the fact that you're an ass.

if you just take the hot loving cup of shut the hell up for your prize.

i'm not trying to "negotiate" something here. i'm doing two things: pointing out when people swing their dicks around, and entertaining myself at work. the sooner you shut up, the sooner i'll be bored at work.

midnightmadness: He started it. /kindergartenplayground

Actually, the point died at his first comment to me (by his own admission, his comment to me actually had nothing to do with what I said to the poster). My point was to address an off topic post here. His was to go 100% off any topic for no other reason than get into a pissing match with me.


... Here ends the main wank. Lots of other mini-wank bits in the comments, but that's the one that kept me giggling and boggling.

It's a beautiful wank to get up to. :D
