¿Who wants replies to a nearly year-old thread? ¡ME! In other news, this thread is open for the discussion of my favourite picture of myself:

Hi there. You know it.

Attention whores get attention!

2005-08-04T06:14:56Z

¡ghostlight is a debate loser! I'm now forwarded these links by those circling his journal like vultures, waiting for him to spout yet another retarded essay on why people he thinks are dumber than him are such jerks to him. ¿Is his sense of worth truly so low that he needs to rationalize why people on the internet are bullying him? I am bored at work - ¡let's enjoy some Mystery Gumbo Theatre!

This leads me to another point. Something else "loser" connotes is being a loser at life. [info]ncktnnr suffered a loss at life by getting suspended.

¡Yes! ¡Because being suspended from an internet service takes place in real life!

I should mention that being well informed about Internet related knowledge isn't necessary or sufficient for Internet nerdism; I'm quite sure I know more about, e.g., TCP, ICMP, gateways and hosts, etc., than most of them.

¡They are nerds - but Heaven forbid that require me admitting they know more than me in any field whatsoever, for I am better than them!

Rather, they seem to devote a great deal of their time to pointless Internet pursuits such as socializing with the other losers and to leaving useless comments, such as the above cited.

AND MAKING LISTS OF THE BEST INTERNET PHILOSOPHERS, OR UPDATING THEIR LIVEJOURNALS WITH TREATISES ABOUT INTERNET BULLIES. OMG PEOPLE GET HOBBIES.

[info]dialogic helpfully suggested that they probably have no real education other than something like computer science, so they're entirely unequipped to pursue a dialectical project that requires any sort of skill.

Thankfully, having one's only schooling being in computers would still not make one better at computers than a philosophy student.

Their lashings-out and digging themselves into rhetorical holes suggest that they're probably unsuccessful in their day to day interactions, as well.

Updating my livejournal about internets people ok.

To attempt further profiling would be highly speculative...

Surely that wouldn't stop you.

but I suspect height-weight disproportionality in many cases, as well as youth ([info]ncktnnr actually belonged to a community focused on his high school) and poor communication skills ([info]aufdeutschebag was curiously foul-mouthed).

I AM LIKE TOTALLY FATS LOLO LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOL OLD MEME.

What I really want is to have the present post available as summary of what I mean with that term, so I can direct and inform them accordingly.

Because the term "debate loser" isn't self explanatory.

Remember, it's all about losing in the first couple of comments

Today, on a very special Ghostlight

¡That's right! I have not forgotten you, ¡loyal followers of this dead community! I bring good news. I am soon to be renewing my extended user pictures and will be returning to the old icons you once knew and humped in the secret hours of the night in the absence of your special pillow 'Spanky'. I also have a treat for you - in this brief thread here my old friend cabrutus is caught with his pants down. [Note that he admits to being frightened, ostensibly because I am really incredibly powerful in the brains.] Naturally this results in the only thing that ever results from him talking to me - he posts a passive-aggressive flame in his livejournal. But hey, that's just every-day stuff until he turns up in someone else's livejournal jumping on the hater-train with a powerfully eloquent speech [likely fuelled entirely by his linguistic prowess. With him is guest star avez_kuleshov, who you might remember was on my friendslist for a month or two before not being. I honestly can't remember why, but I bet she does. cabrutus is a professional philosopher, which means that his placement of me in the Omega tier of philosophication is based on expert testiony, but unfortunately has not stopped him from being a homophobe, a sexist, and overall rather ignorant. Permit me to indulge myself in feeling justified that a Grade-A dickhole who spends his days furiously masturbating to himself, however intelligent he may be, thinks I'm below him.

Banned yet again, this time because someone forms the ridiculous theory that since I can respond to comments in a thread I must be the person who posted them. Just FYI, the best way to prove you don't care about a troll is to screen a portion of a thread, delete the rest, then make a new post announcing that you did so. This is what is called, in the business, "feeding the troll". How "feeding the troll" works IRL: Troll makes a post, possibly only one word large. Prima responds to post with more than one word. Secundus responds to Prima telling Prima not to feed the troll. Prima and Secundus have a large discussion that consists either of disagreeing whether or not they fed the troll, or justifying why they fed the troll just that one time. Troll's word-to-response ratio becomes incredibly large and Community is disrupted. Troll's ego subsequently increases as discussions break out that center around suggesting ways in which Community can get rid of the troll by ignoring them. It is decided that the troll 'has no life', despite the fact that the number of words they've typed are invariably a factor of ten small than the ones they have received in response. Troll wins like a terrorist.

Women are funny creatures. They lick themselves to keep clean, and they always shit on the carpet no matter how clean you keep their underwear. In a recent thread in feminist, I boldly announced my love of Cunt. Naturally I was warned, because in a community filled with females you are not allowed to even be suspected of objectifying their bodies. Despite the fact that bodies are objects in the first place. Now, I knew this would be a completely boring story if I didn't make an effort to blow it up into something more, so I emailed the moderator,

Regarding this thread,
http://www.livejournal.com/community/feminist/1771217.html?thread=42382289#t42382289,
I wonder what exactly about my tone was suspect.

Thank you.

...You're kidding me, right?

You don't see how that comment could be interpreted to be trollish and/or
creepy?

If you want me to spell it out:
-Your lack of capitalization and/or a supporting opinion led me to believe
that you weren't talking about the book.
-In which case, your statement can be interpreted as either a) a piss-poor
attempt at a joke, or b) a statement about your sexual preference. As a
joke, it sucked. Third-grade humor. As a statement about your sexual
preference? You're a straight man. Watch me throw you a party. Either
way, the comment was pointless and has disturbed other members of the
community.

Watch your tone, think through your words. Whatever you want to call it.

Thanks.

I'm sorry I don't have a magnificent command of the English language.
Sometimes I make mistakes while typing. I apologise. I also do not
think that of itself should lead to the conclusion that I was speaking
off topic.
The fact that I did not support my opinion was because opinions don't
need support. I mean, did you freeze this thread -
http://www.livejournal.com/community/feminist/1771217.html?thread=42336209#t42336209 ?
What about this one
http://www.livejournal.com/community/feminist/1771217.html?thread=42342353#t42342353 ?
This http://www.livejournal.com/community/feminist/1771217.html?thread=42345425#t42345425 ?

From your statement "You're a straight man. Watch me throw you a
party. " I can see exactly why I was warned. I am sorry - I will take
especial care in the future not to say things that might be offensive
when one ignores their context and assumes I'm a man.

Sensing that she had been completely defeated by my implication that I was a gay woman, the moderator ceased replying. For a brief moment I considered that she might be checking with her associates to see if I was, in fact, a straight man - I did not hear back from her. Oh, and I was banned for calling someone a bigot because they said they were anti-theist. Women are funny creatures. They'll warn you for liking a book, but they'll ban you for telling someone that their blind hatred of others is bigotry.

MISSING : IRONY
ghostlight explodes onto a scene that is always rife with hostility to him - grammarians. Internet grammar circle-jerk, publicly known as grammarpolice, consists mostly of crusty dags whose lives are so infinitely unsatisfying that they latch onto the beautiful teat of literacy and communication : invariably draining it dry in their wanton need to fill the hole in their hearts. Witnesses say that it all began when an amateur news site confused the possessive apostrophe with the possessive form of "its" and - despite all logic dictating that a possessive third-person pronoun should end in an apostrophe - grammarians instantly bayed; bidden by the insatiable verbal lust. Naturally they did the only rational thing possible : they composed an octet. The scene apparently erupted when ghostlight not only responded by deriding the poet's ability to spot grammatical flaws, but slurred the octet as 'prose' and exampled two major flaws in his usage of archaic English words. What happened next was reportedly a blur, as grammarians leapt out of the shadows to defend their fallen comrade. Tactics included : Referencing dictionary.com to prove that poetry is not prose. [Please see definition #4] When challenged to prove its metrical structure, make one up that has more syllables than one of the lines. Compare yourself to E.E. Cummings. [Always a class act] Reference a modern-day dictionary on archaic language use. Compare someone else to E.E. Cummings. As the chaos subsided, everyone realised that little orphen Irony was missing. ghostlight says her distinguishing feature was "Using the argument that language changes over time to justify making grammatical errors while criticizing other people's language for not conforming to rules decided upon in the 18th century." If you see her, please call your local police department. We miss her very much.
