No, no, no. His sense of "humor" is very easy to understand. It's just not funny. Oh, and Manton, don't leave. That's like letting the terrorists win.

Referring to me, even though I hadn't called him out or anything.

Honestly, this post is very sad. It is like the kid who thinks he did a great thing after ******** in the sandbox and making everybody else leave. It is like he is the king of the mountain, except he is really just the guy playing with his own ****.

Good grief. This is like an immature pissing match between a bunch of men who might as well be wrestling over whether or not someone looked at their girlfriend. I really think most of you are too intelligent for this, but maybe I'm wrong?

You are wrong, Manton is smarter than MS.

No, it's just that Manton has a temper, and MS doesn't know when to stop his antics.
This is all strangely reminiscent of Bris vs Butter even including the itg invite to meet up on the island of Manhattan.
And we all know how that turned out.

Of course, Manton has a lot more goodwill built up than Bris, but still.
And to think how easy it could all be:

"Ignore List"

Dammit Metro, what were you hoping to do here? You knew you found a soft spot and picked at it, until the inevitable happened. Couldn't you have picked on someone else, or found something else to hammer at instead?

Manton, why didn't you put Metro on ignore? Surely you saw the pattern, or even just put a sort of troll-filter on it.

Sure it can get pretty tiresome, as can his seeming need for attention, but he is far from the only one guilty of attention whore behaviour on here. His current brand of humour is becoming too prevalent in DT, at the expense of potentially funnier stuff, and I can see it is irritating outside of DT, but I don't get the hate.

Edit: Also Manton, you have to be 40 something, and successful. Jokes about peoples kids are clearly douchey, but can't you just man up and rise above it?


I endorse this post.

What the hell, people?
ffffuuuu.gif
The only thing I like less than B&S crap blowing up my inbox is this kind of crap blowing up my inbox. Fok timed MS out for a month - he is the one with kids so I will trust his judgment there. Can people please settle down and stop the 'x should be banned' crap in here? You can see here why we have the rule. It's like grown men standing in front of the kindergarten teacher telling on each other - unseemly and counterproductive. And annoying as hell for the kindergarten teacher(s).

Really, so you all really think that the solution is for him to go on making cracks about ****** my 5-y-o daughter and for me to put him on ignore?

Like I said, if that is what the Internet is, or has become, it is definitely wrong for me.

Thomas, I am being totally serious here, your post makes me sad.
