I like to prostrate?

prostrate is pretty much an adjective: "lying prostrate".

Define what you mean, so that we may all be enlightened as to your new knowledge of the english language that poses such a challenge to modern nomenclature.

How have I "prostrated" as you say, ellucidate me, please, and the rest of us on this board.

EITHER:

You're a bot

OR:

A Nigerian scammer with as much grasp of phonetics as an orangutan



EITHER

         Exactly. You prostrate, as the herd, or lower common denominator element of this board, for the acceptance of the populace. Thinking that you control ERIS is a first obvious give away to your ignorance. Thinking that you have any right or ability to tell others how to act or think is a display of your self important arrogance, which is a further prostration to false ideals,of class order, which you seem to value.

OR

          Yes, (sigh) I'm a bot, AND a troll. You've single-handedly uncovered me. Is this where I beg for your forgiveness and blessing to get in on the drum circle?

Not to be a pedantic prick, but you just validated its use of prostrate, which can be a verb or an adjective.

Also, I am still extremely amused by the general reaction to its format as opposed to content, and will be using the technique in future trolls when at some point in time I am not too wiped out to troll.

Sometimes crazy people are the best trolls.

Can we please Pledge EOT now, before there is a horrible shitstorm?

Or

Can we just have the horrible shitstorm now and get it over with, I'm tired of the derails.

Or

The format doesn't bug me that much, but 90% of his posts are only a step above gibberish, which makes the format even more annoying.

I am all for people pledging EOT, as long as they don't turn it into endlessly shitting up people's threads with "pledge" and bitching at anyone who doesn't, which is a thousand times more annoying than a slightly out-there n00b including the words "EITHER" and "OR" in their posts. As is the "OH MY GOD STOP DOING THAT I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU POST" people are shitting threads up with. At least respond to the content, or quit fucking crapping up threads over something that is completely irrelevant to almost everyone.

Fuck, there are people on here who have the most amazingly annoying shit in their sigs; I don't throw temper tantrums until they remove them, I just ignore them. There are also people who never say anything I'd bother responding to, so I don't.

Yeah. If he would post more of his carpentry projects, I wouldn't mind him at all.

yeah same. I've almost responded to a number of his posts, but then I couldn't figure out which part I was supposed to respond to, and said fuckit.

I wonder if Either/Or Troll is going to keep up this gimmick? It's a shame because parts of his posts come off as intelligent, but the signal gets lost in the noise of the shtick. I wonder what the intent of this form of communication is? To present himself in a certain way? To breach communication norms?

I mean imagine if you were meeting a group of people and you insisted on talking like Yoda all the time. Would you fault them for avoiding you?

The Good Reverend Roger

He's obviously a smart guy, but not quite smart enough to know that a gimmick is the last resort of someone with nothing to say.

So even if he actually says something, I just blow right past it.

Meh. It's just his gimmick. I don't care. If we stop letting it get on our nerves and feeding him our annoyance, maybe he'll stop. Don't feed the troll, guys.

Also, his woodworking is impressive. He's not a fucking moron.

I think it's the frustration of watching a smart guy act dumb for applause.

It's embarrassing to watch intelligent people eat mud pies at Renn Fairs, speak in tongues, or rely on gimmicks rather than their own brains.

It's why I gave up television.

Well, if he really wants an applause, then he needs to prove his worth.
