Maybe you should just get bored enough to get a job or at least some way that you can contribute to society. The guy who got bullied growing up becoming a bully hiding behind a computer has become the cliche of this generation. You are right about the futility of an argument, you have way to much time to write novels on here about how pathetic you think it is to not contribute to every single thread, myself and others like me are too busy leading successful lives to keep up with your post count (which you should hide rather than show off because it just proves how pathetic you really are). I didn't want to start any arguments but you insist on being an unprovoked asshole over and over. Try doing what normal boarders on forums do and skip over a thread that you don't have anything to contribute to. This thread was started as a friendly offer of a safe fun ride to Sasquatch for people that might be in my area and I'd love to re-establish it thusly. Most of the folks on here seem knowledgeable and like they would be fun to be around so posting the offer here seemed like a good fit. The time I (don't) spend putting my $.02 on every thread is just my way of trying to show the rest of this board that I respect them enough not to waste their time (present post excluded, sorry) if I don't have anything to add. Mark Twain had it right in this matter so just like the signature, take these words to heart: "It is better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than to open it and remove all doubt" Hey, you know what dude? Fuck you. It's all in good fun until you start making personal attacks like that. I'm not 'bullying' anyone. To me, this board is the equivalent of a game of Scrabble. I have nothing else to say to you. Maybe you should take your computer out and set it up on your fucking bang bus so you can have fun posting on this board instead of feeling like some mean old gramma horn is actually trying to... I don't fucking know, intimidate you or something? Whatever. Just... fuck you. In the ear. Hard. |

Here's a good rule of thumb:
Me raggin' on you for being a big dumb bus head -- > joke based on board shit -- > ACCEPTABLE
You raggin' on me for being unemployed or getting the shit kicked out of me in junior high -- > none of your god damn business -- > NOT ACCEPTABLE
See how it works? Cool. Know it.

This man takes his bus very seriously. I think the bus jokes are about the equivalent of yo mamma jokes to him.
Internet bullying is no joke. Unless you are the bully.

I think the bus jokes are about the equivalent of yo mamma jokes to him. When I was in sixth grade one time my older brother got in a fight with a guy because he said that our mom was a bus. He pointed at a school bus and said, 'Dat's yo mama.' True story. |

Ugh. Kids are terrible people. I also know this, owing to the fact that pronouncing my last name includes saying the word gay.

Bang Bus:
I've had my share of online arguments with Gramma, but never did I consider "get a job," to be even remotely fair. The economy in Portland has been really bad the last ten years, one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. I have several friends who have lost their jobs over the years, and it can literally take years to find something else. It took me four months to find a job when I moved to Portland, and outside of fast food, I applied everywhere. I couldn't even get a job busing (pun) tables. I still feel fortunate it only took me four months. I never thought I would be so excited about landing a job paying $9/hr.
When you make fun of people for being unemployed, it offends more than just the person you intending to offend. Even if internet arguing can be childish, try to act like an adult.

Cool. Know it. Here's another good rule of thumb don't treat people like shit unless you expect to receive the same treatment. I work my ass off on putting together a good trip to Sasquatch every year and it's not funny when you consistently keep saying that it is a stupid idea from a stupid person. I personally thought that the other posters had a good sense of humor about it but you have just been an asshole. You were also a dick when that guy asked about dragging his band into the campsite to another bus party and you successfully chased him off the board. I'm not going to spend as much time on here as you but I'm also not going to be bullied away. If you continue to treat me like shit, expect the same in return except for the fact that you are an extremely easy target. People look to the official Sasquatch board to get information and you are extremely knowledgeable about music and drugs but anything positive that you contribute is diluted by your useless, belittling and demeaning posts on threads were you don't have anything to further the conversation. I can take a joke, the other people on here are really funny, you however take the ongoing harassment route instead and I don't appreciate it. (Posted from aboard the bus) |

GOD. What EVER. You're turning into fucking squatchcreep, this is getting SO OLD. Have your idiot bus party with all your ugly friends. Talk about it all you want, seriously knock yourself right the fuck on out talking about your filthy AIDS bus. I'm not getting into another squabble with YET ANOTHER useless troll.
Check out how much everyone on this board digs each other. Check out how nobody has anything to say to you. Speaks for itself. You haven't proven any point and you haven't made any friends, you're just a dude that lives on a bus.
The next sound you hear will be the sound of me blocking you. Ready for it?
CLEEEEEEEEEEECK

How is this guy trolling? He made a good-natured, constructive post in the proper forum. You decided to shit all over it without adding anything constructive. If anything wouldn't you be the troll in this case, continuously prodding until you got a response?
Furthermore, how is it that his observation correlating your time spent on the internet to the likelihood of your employment any more offensive than your observation of his friends being 'annoying' based on a picture he posted.

To address your point more directly, Abominable, I 'shit all over' Bustopher's plan for the same reason I shit all over anyone who comes in here with half-baked ideas and just starts posting away willy-nilly: most of the time people don't even think about what they're posting, they're just posting to hear their brains rattle. If I get in there and say DUDE YOU SO DUMB WHY YOU DO STUFF SO DUMB, that poster has two options: get all pissy and decide to go to war with Gramma, or take a minute to marshall their handful of brain cells and actually expand on the idea and take the opportunity to use grown-up words to make us understand why it's worth any of our time or space on our board discussing it. Call it quality control.
This tactic has worked just fine in the t-shirt thread, the glowstick thread, and dozens of other times. You'll notice the only people who get gigantic spiky pickles up their butts are people with just a couple dozen posts who haven't taken the time to familiarize themselves with the tone of this forum, as well as people from Montana who have spent their entire lives eighty parsecs away from the nearest gas station and have no concept of irony.

Haha, I thought you had blocked Abominable too there. I was like, "damn, HG is on a roll today!" But really, it's probably for the better that you've blocked Buster. The pour guy just wants to have a bus party and you seem intent on telling him how much of a bad idea it is. I mean, we're all taking kindhearted jabs at him for his plan and he's taking them in stride, but somehow your methods come across as abrasive. At least now he'll be able to plan his party and you won't feel compelled to shit on him. I see this as a win-win. ... and take the opportunity to use grown-up words to make us understand why it's worth any of our time or space on our board discussing it. He doesn't owe any of an explanation. Just ignore him if you aren't interested in his conversations. Oh wait, you just did that. |

I think we might have broken some kind of a record in this thread for using the word "bus" so many times.

What HG described is called trolling, NOT QUALITY CONTROL! Thank god HG blocked me, my only regret is not finding a way him to do so earlier. It's great that people seem to support HG on this board because it seems like this is about it for him, but I was sincere when I made the offer in the OP. It is not a "willy-nilly plan" and it has been hugely successful before. Like I said about the post count, I have not cut out enough time in my schedule to read every single post that HG or others have posted to put HG's rude manner in perspective, nor will I. If someone is trolling they deserve to be treated like trolls, regardless of their post count. This thread was expanding and moving forward normally before HG added his unneeded and unwanted input. Just like the advise that HG is posting for new posters to follow, it might be a good idea for him to "take a minute to marshall (his) handful of brain cells and actually expand on" the topics at hand. Thank you HG as this reading you say this was beautiful "CLEEEEEEEEEEECK" goodbye and good riddance! ;D Yours truly, The pooper bus driver  |
