far be it from me to assault someone's writing, but it does indeed suck. pseudo-middle-english written by a cracked-like pre-pubescent prone to chronic Dn'D playing.

Weenie is a very sensitive guy, and it angers him that everyone isn't as sensitive as he. A soi-disant male feminist, he not only cares deeply about women's issues, he's concerned about poverty, people of color, gay rights and sea turtles. Weenie strives to be politically correct at all times and is ever vigilant against anti progressive attitudes. Weenie is always solicitous towards the oppressed classes, but will lash out viciously at retrograde brutes such as Deacon and Troglodyte.

Who the fuck are you? You screw'd on a nos powered peg-leg and walked the rainbow plank into here only to setup an ezmacro refresh option on your f12 key, and reveal to the public your bleeding overstretched Wonka chocolate factory in 100x100 fashion below your name. As flies gather on a steaming pile of South African baboon dung, the most worthless of gimps put on a pair of tubesocks and powerslid into the Brawl-Hall once attracted by the likes of Freud and ladr posing outside the doors in nothing but tied off White Snake wifebeaters, Ishtar sashes, and some open toe gucci sandals sucking on sour apple ring pops. You're about as hip as Rick Moranis in a velor Sean John jumpsuit munching on a stick of fruity mentos.

 

You're not hardcore. You wouldn't know hardcore if a Polar Bear unloaded frozen prune sized pellets of shit onto your outstretched phallic indented palm while Hank the Angry Dwarf, and Beetlejuice rode Paris Hilton like a anorexic bronco bull. The next time you open that cock cave you call mouth should be to have Ballpark footlongs foot-fed to you through your gap tooth by Air Jordan himself in fishnets while you spit shine his 96' championship toe ring.

 

be gone.

ALL CAPS!!!

ALLCAPS attempts to compensate for his limited rhetorical weaponry through the extravagant use of capitalized words - something netizens refer to as SHOUTING. Sure, a sprinkling of capitalized words can add spice to an attack, but overuse is like too much tarragon in the stew. Even worse from a tactical point of view, too much shouting alerts other Warriors to the opponent's verbal WEAKNESS and emotional EXCITABILITY.

 

This one seems rather familiar.

AKA:

 

Rebel Without a Clue's deep seated and infantile hostility to authority motivates his random and seemingly gratuitous attacks on list owners, SysOps and anyone else who attempts to maintain a modicum of order and civility in discussion forums. Differing markedly from Rebel Leader, he is unattached to any cause other than petulance for its own sake, and will therefore seldom inspire general insurrection. In his frequent and ineffectual attacks on the established order he will often cite the Bible, or the US Constitution to support incoherent arguments. Rebel Without a Clue NEVER reads forum FAQs, and loudly decries as fascism any enforcement whatsoever of forum rules.

Sanctimonious drivel.

The big news here is that Trask can now count to ten. We can only hope that finally passing remedial English has made it to the top of his list of New Year's resolutions for '04.

Evil Clown is very quick with a joke, but his jests always have a barb. He has little patience for in-depth discussions and will often disrupt exchanges between serious forum participants by introducing irrelevant topics, fatuous quips, and offhand comments. His greatest thrill is to taunt and humiliate weaker or more plodding Warriors with his snappy ripostes. When a strong Warrior finally corners him Evil Clown will attempt to escape by accusing his attacker of having no sense of humor.

Garble

Garble is a mystery: Is she a foreigner with only tenuous grasp of English? Is her brain addled by some powerful drug? Does she suffer a serious mental debility? Is she typing wearing a catcher's mit? Garble's rampant typos, malapropisms and seemingly aggressive use of execrable grammar can't be explained merely in terms of poor typing skills or the lack of a spell checker. Even non-English speakers generally do a better job of punctuation grammar and capitalization, and Garble is all the more puzzling because if one goes to the trouble of wading through the muddle of her messages a discernable idea will usually emerge. For example, in a forum discussion about a painting she might say, "Sorry the picchr the har is wrog. The culir. I liike the lips bot teh Paintng is sucs". When attacked for his random capitalization Garble might respond, "oPS i HITTED THE CAPDLOCK". Not surprisingly, she drives Grammarian and Nitpick absolutely nuts, but she is utterly impervious to any sort of correction and if their attacks persist she will sign off in a huff with something like, "yuor forum si stupef. bYE!"
