Also, horray post count.

Nuclearcabbage, you (in your fifty post immunity period) have failed to pick up on the many things that makes the PD crowd angry. Now, I concede that we are angry a lot in general, and also that the things that make us angry are not necessarily the things that make other 'discordian' online communities angry (nor are they laid out straightforwardly, etc), BUT -- fifty posts has been arbitrarily designated as the number of posts it takes before we cut into a noob and give him the straight turkey. A few helpful hints:
1) Pinealism doesn't go over well here. Expect a total lack of amusement from all involved, along with (mayhaps) a serving of irritation and mockery, in best case.
2) You are not a unique special snowflake. Causing yourself to make less sense does not make you more unique. PD in general has less tolerance for this than other boards (we are a little more doing-stuff oriented than other boards as well), and so if you want to go about this the way you are going now, you can do it on another board, or expect a lot of resistance and mutual butthurt all around. That is, unless you show that somehow you really ARE special, and special enough for us to collectively put up with your nonsense. This is harder than it looks -- this board has a lot of very talented people, many of whom neither produce nor consume dadadiarhhea. The potential for you to otherwise capture our hearts with your lovable jabberwocky is low (I won't dismiss it out of hand, but I can't really say it has worked for any of the ones who have come on the board and tried it since I signed up).
3) People tear into other people here all the time. Basically any response is a bad one (including no response). We have very little modding here, which means that if you make a big social faux pas, more or less everyone will start attacking you and it will never stop. This is more or less a suggestion to avoid doing this type of shit, and to think before you post (rather than a warning about stuff you have already done), but it is worth thinking about.
If you follow the above suggestions, you might narrowly avoid being the subject of an unlimited fail thread, being hounded out of every thread in which you post, etc. I say might, because it still happens, and it even happens to accepted and established users. I can't speak for other people, but this is my own analysis of the atmosphere here, and you can take this (though caustic) rant as friendly advice. As you can see, you have been oblivious enough to more subtle hints and suggestions to gain the ire of a number of forum members. I won't hold it against you myself -- some very productive people here have gotten to a bad start (and I also got to a bad start, myself). I won't post any more about this topic in this thread, since I don't particularly want to hijack it, so for the time being, take this as my stance on the matter.

the thread is called ask me anything...

uhm.

i asked a question.

the answer involved a response.

i responded.

DICKS EVERYWHERE.

your question was retarded enough to have come from Sarah Palin's vagina. Your best bet is to get over it quickly and start working on thickening your skin. Digging your heels in and bleating like Chris Crocker about how MEAN everyone is being to you is a surefire way to be mocked and hounded to the farthest reaches of the internets. If everyone is being mean to you, you're probably being a twatwaffle. Take it as the constructive criticism that it is and move on.

Question:

My fiance thinks it would be irresponsible of me to use my tax return to buy a motorcycle rather than use it to get my Explorer fixed up. Should I slip her some laxatives to teach her a lesson?

about 3 years ago, but thanks. Everyone knows what ECHGF means but ECHF could be confusing so I just stick with the former until such time as she's properly Mrs. ECH.
