The Newly Departed thread: announcements (departures)

[Excited Penguin]

Dear lord, a Penguin-roasting. What is more terrifying than that?

See above.

Are you serious Thump?!?!

It's terrifying when EP gets mad. Seriously, look, last time he got mad I took this photo of him:



Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying.

I'm not and I don't claim to be
... Until you step on my toes or enter my backyard without permission, that is. That's not an euphemism for getting screwed, it's a metaphor for involving yourself in my business. Also, I think I made it pretty clear how unforgiving I get of people who hurt the ones I love. That's a normal characteristic I'm sure plenty of others share, however. I might get more ferocious than others in that department, sure, and then shit isn't as funny, but it's still the same principle at work.

So, in conclusion, I'm deliberately not nor am I attempting to appear threatening or intimidating in any way. Not under normal circumstances. I hope that one's cleared up for you, matey

I don't even know anyone you love.

I'm not a vengeful dickhead whereas you are, okay, I get it.

I don't mess with your business because I don't even know your business.

My apologies, then. Perhaps specify, next time, that you're not making an attempt at a serious argument at all, not even slightly. It you have, alternatively, my charge would still apply and so to the degree to which your seriousness was present itself.

(my bold)

It was extremely obvious.

Looks like at the beginning of every lighthearted post I make I have to have the following:

DISCLAIMER FOR A LITERAL MINDED PENGUIN: WARNING THIS POST IS A JOKE AND SPECIFICALLY NOT A SERIOUS ARGUMENT THAT I AM ATTEMPTING. NOT EVEN SLIGHTLY.

Lol, reminds me of a guitar forum I used to post at -- the convention was that sarcasm was denoted by purple font, sucking all the fun out of the act of posting sarcasm. So obviously, I ignored it, because it was an impromptu measure of someone's intelligence (or lack thereof) depending on how they read it.

Kinda like right now, come to think of it.

Some such might be needed indeed - if you don't want me to draw the wrong conclusion or assume everything you post is off topic and retarded in that way. Perhaps nothing so theatrical as that, no, but a subtle indication of the same would be more than a welcome. 

Not that you're interested in anything else here but back-pedalling on your own trolling. But like I said. Prepare to get roasted if you enter the cockpit.

[Edwardo Piet]

I don't care what conclusions you draw. I don't care if you think what I say is retarded. Doesn't make it true.

Not sure why you assume I was accusing you of anything. Try and don't so readily piss your pants, buttercup. I couldn't care less about your sorry ass. I was merely taking a page out of your own playbook, going off topic with no earthly reason as to the fuck why. 

As for the virtues of fending off deranged fucks who are out to hurt the ones close to you, we can talk about that at length, if you so wish. I believe it to be a virtuous act of reason. If someone enters my house and attempts to fuck my wife, I'm not going to watch while I wait for the cops to do their jobs, I'll take matters in my own hands. 

Let me know if you need me to clear up any further confusion.

That settles it then. Have a nice evening.

I didn't. I was just responding to the bullshit you said.

Being lighthearted isn't the same as going off topic.

That's not the subject of this thread

'Sides, your wife might enjoy it

Seems like a waste of time to me, lol.

What the fuck is even happening right now?

This has to be said. I think, though I'm not sure, he's referring to a person on this forum and me as the person he's issued a fatwa against for being that person's friend. I think he thinks I'm a bad influence and plotting and scheming against him to turn them against him. Is that it EP, is that what all this is about? Since me and him do not talk any more, it's easy for confirmation bias to do all the rest and for either of us to see what we expect to see about the other. So if I'm wrong and this is not in reference to me, then I apologise. But if I'm not wrong, I'd ask you to consider the same thing and ask whether confirmation bias might not be in play.
