Why you are all such idiots: A discussion thread

edited May 2007 in Social Entropy++
After clearing up the 92nd enormous animated gif this week, and the 67th obviously NSFW image posted by a regular visitor to the forums, I have been pondering a question to myself. I think it is very important that we establish what it is that makes you all so stupid. Are these rules worded in terms that you find, shall we say, confuzzling? Do you have problems seeing why say, a picture of a man in nothing but a thong might perhaps be a teensy bit over the line? Is there something about the concept of "no images above 500k and even then it better be so funny that I literally shit myself" that is more complex than I have been led to believe?

As someone who is unbelievably smart, I have difficulty putting myself into the correct mindset. Help me help you.

    Are you appealing to SE++ for a rational explanation, or was this a rhetorical question-post?

    Because the only actual explanation is the PA Normal Person + Internet = SHITCOCK comic or whatever it was.

    I have no recollection of the word "confuzzling" in my vocabulary.

    Please clarify for us peons, oh Great Enlightened One.

    Confusing + Puzzling I think.

    Or possibly so confusing that you forget how to shave for a few days.

    The only cartoon weiner I acknowledge is the Dancing Dong, and that is not poorly-drawn.

    The Republic of Sheri is biased on the issue of cartoon weiners, I impose trade embargoes.

    if you need it written in stone what is and isn't considered borderline acceptable to post, what might be considered to taboo to show, you probably shouldn't be posting pictures in the first place.

    Heh. Probably. But jeez I live in terrifying australia and even the fucking politicians show up on television wearing only speedos from time to time, so I guess I'm horribly desensitised to exposed manflesh.

    Also, massive amounts of cock in my mouth.

    Seriously though, we're not talking about trolls here, that's easy to deal with. We're talking about people who have been posting here for months, even years, who refuse to show even the slightest consideration for their fellow forumers and that is a PROBLEM.

    sometimes people are just dicks. and they try to be funny, but it just turns out to be dickish instead of funny. but sometimes the dicking really is funny, and that's what they're hoping for, but usually it doesn't turn out that way.
