PD.com: "the lot of you are some of the most vicious, name calling, vile examples of humanity I've had the misfortune of attempting to communicate with.  Even attempting to mimic the general mood of the place toward people who think differently leaves a slimy feel on my skin.  Reptilian, even."

If I had a million dollars, I'd put it all in a sensible mutual fund.

Hey, a slightly more detailed warning would be appreciated for horrific shit like that. Even just, y'know, not masking the link.

Quote from: RavenFischerWhat is it with the latinos and sexual perversion!  Don't want to stereotype (okay, I will) but the Hispanic male is guilty of these crazy sexual deviances far more than white, black or asian men.  When will the latin community speak up and admit their men are perverts?  Until you admit you have a problem, you'll continue to act like it isn't.  I truly hope urban vigilantes begin to take justice into their own hands and rid the world of these disgraceful people.

Ah crap. I spend most of my time at MetaFilter, I'm getting in the habit of that style.

It wasn't intentional.

Does your browser show you the link at the bottom during MouseOver?

Yeah, but people here are generally really conscientious about not masking fucked-up things so I wasn't in "deep suspicion" mode.

LMNO

Really?  I mouse over every damn link on here before I click.  I do that because I assume any masked link has an even greater chance of being fucked up, or else why mask it?

AFK

Yeah seriously, anyone who does PD.COM from work would be silly NOT to check out the link on mouse over.  And in this case, especially given the thread title. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

You guys have a point. Sometimes I forget that this place's primary fucntion is really just as a den of trolls and requesting courtesy from the other regulars is an exercise in stupidity. I guess the general politeness, productivity and cooperation over the last month or so lulled me into a false complacency.

Thanks for reminding me.

Hey, I request courtesy all the time.  But I still check links before clicking.

It's not so much that, as we have loose rules around here.  Most of us use a little courtesy, but there's always a shitbag like IKK or Weltburger to take advantage of those loose rules to act like an adolescent.

Yeah, I just hadn't put IKK on that list. He is now, though.

Like I said, I got complacent. I work at home so I don't worry about things like nudity, I just wasn't anticipating shit like that.

I've had IKK on my list since his first week here, years ago.  He never posts anything of value (a link to him jacking off on camera seems to be the limit of his creativity), and he posts for sheer attention-whore value.

For example, us complaining about him ITT.  The best method of dealing with IKK is just to skip past his posts/threads.

Noted.

He simply wasn't on my radar before.
