I said I don't care to avoid getting involved.

So...good job. I'm involved.

and you just had to let everyone know you didn't care.

Good job.

**micahaphone**

Oh, go join DOOMFART, bunker.

Or send a polite PM to an admin if you think that it is really that out of hand.

Yeah, everyone digs snide remarks masked as polite and ignoring the rules while in a position of authority

I find the inaccuracies of your comments disturbing, neighbour.

For example, you behaved in a magnificent fashion initially. You came in, mentioned you did not find it particularly funny, and left again. Thoroughly acceptable.

However, this other chap (may I call you Worgie?), came in and started derailing everything with 'snide comments disguised masked as polite'. As such, I felt it best to engage with him on the level he had set himself at, for hope of convincing him to abandon his futile pursuit of a debate on an irrelevant topic in a humour thread. Alas, that hope was short lived....

As for being in a position of authority, I am a mere Swapmod. I have no authority or responsibilities beyond the confines of that dull and musty place, and am as but one of you in this dank, and rapidly decaying thread.

Okay, maybe the last 5 or so posters should all cease to post in this thread.

Or maybe the moderators, for once, could try following the rules they so frequently quote instead of flaunting the fact that there's no accountability to them from management?

That's just crazy talk.

Tut tut my good sir. Are you not aware that a direct attack is a direct attack, whether framed in the interrogative, the declarative, the exclamatory, or the imperative?

But no one's been attacking anyone right?

so what does it matter, "good sir"?

*raises finger*

Aha, but the Dakka emote is deliberately instilled to count as an expletive, and in the context in which you placed it in, I find it difficult to reach another conclusion.

Feel free to enlighten me otherwise though, Worgie.

Look at you, talking down to not only one, but TWO users!

Aren't you setting a fantastic example for the rest of us

**XxRVNGRDxX**

Are we still seriously going on about this. People try and deal with hardships with laughter. It helps break tension.

If you don't like the thread you have a choice to not read it.

**Goddard**

and you just had to let everyone know you didn't care.

Good job.

Your attitude sucks.

Just thought I'd let everyone know.

Well, I think you have moved the thread on from it being a bit of satire, an injection of humour of what is undoubtedly an awful situation when looking at the big picture, and now the mood on this thread has been made quite sour.

I don't know if you enjoy upsetting yourself, but really what I am struggling to come to terms with now (even though I can sympathise with your original point) is coming back to the thread several pages after you had said you would leave. Seriously mate, go and make a cup of tea/coffee, and when you do come back to Dakka go to one of the other gazillion pages, and resist the urge to come back here and continue banging your head against a wall.

I mean that as honest advice, I'm not trying to sound like a jerk if that's how it comes across!

**micahaphone**

I've been following XxRVNGRDxX's advice, and I gotta say, this thread is hilarious. I especially like the humorous tone that Ketara is taking. Screw my previous post; this is too funny.

Good to see you have missed my point from the beginning and were just trying to make yourself look like one of the wise guys.

That's awesome.

And once again, you show the reason as to why you have no guffaws erupting from your chest at this most excellent of threads. Do you not see that this witty, light-hearted banter is nothing more than a facade of genuine joviality? Fie Sir!

On a more serious note, it is. Didn't the flowery language clue you in on it? I admit, my first two? three? posts to Worgie were mildly irritated, but that was because he'd ignored repeated requests to go do his rebellion thing elsewhere. After that, I decided to turn this thread to follow the humour of the great Bin Abbadon! And that is an example I will happily set any day!

Hiroshima getting nuked was a "natural" disaster? Really? Really? And no. I wouldn't expect too many people finding a joke about the US nuking Japan to be particularly funny. Just Like I personally don't find jokes about Bin Laden funny because:

a) I know someone personally that lost family in that event who later commited suicide. and
b) Because I know someone that lost family in Iraq because we went in there after 9/11 for the wrong damned reasons.

which goes to:

c) The post was made by a personage (you) that can get away with such a posting because of the tag under their name (see also d-ckhead trolling by a former moderator) that wouldn't have been allowed to stand had it been someone with a different tag.

Yeah I know. Welcome to the Fark of miniature wargaming.

Its a joke guys...

oh well. in that case. feth me. I forgot to laugh.

Possibly because, get this:

IT WASN'T FUNNY.

Weird how that works isn't it?

At the risk of pointing out the obvious, you (and here I mean all the "you" that this applies to, not just Worg) do realize that telling us (and here I mean those who do find this funny) that you don't find what we find funny, funny, doesn't actually do much to convince us it's not funny, right? I know... that's kinda funny.

Put another way, virulent, endemic racism is pretty much the most serious topic imaginable. Yet Blazing Saddles is one of, if not the single, funniest movies ever made, despite being one relentless ni**er joke. No doubt there are people out there that find it irredeemably offensive.

People who find it funny find their outrage... unpersuasive.

**Revenent Reiko**

Ketara for some reason i have an image of you dressed as Sherlock Holmes in front of your computer, smoking a pipe and thoroughly enjoying 'playing the game'.
Thank you my good sir, you have made my night

**micahaphone**

The fine gentlemen of this thread should find equisite humor in the cheery banter. I can only be thankful that no grey knights were hurt during the raid.

But how could they have gotten a DNA match? Did he still have some living siblings? Could it be a fake?

I did exactly what I said I was going to do earlier. I went and painted 10 Death Guard terminators. They came out rather spectacularly if I do say so myself.

This thread should have been locked down as the terrible attempt at terrible humor by terrible people that it was. But it hasn't, so I still have a point to prove.

But thanks for your concern.

The pleasure is all mine, gentlemen. Coincidentally, I do own a deerstalker hat, pipe, and trenchcoat if that helps....

Indeed! And the perfidious powers of Chaos can surely mimic any DNA adequately for any test they could devise anyway!

The Imperial Light must be shed upon the truth! Worgie? Are you with me?

**micahaphone**

Haha, the Emperor Tamarin is a magnificent specimen! A very smart little monkey, too.

And I believe that all internet browsers need the following warning sticker:

WARNING! People with differing opinions have been found online. Proceed at your own risk.

Congrats on the terminators, though. I wish I could paint as fast as you. Then again, I get way too caught up in the details.

You could have just admitted that you're trolling.

Badly, but still trolling.

Tsk. That's not how the games played, Worgie-poos. You have to say I'm acting in such a way as to be perceived as trolling, not just accuse me of it.

Ah, taking a light additude and joking around is so much fun.
