Wow. I missed that because it looked boring….

[Snarky]

I do not read and post on every thread here.  It probably seems like i do.  I do not

 

i read about 2/3 of the stuff in general and peruse the Brutes forums and sometimes the Tanks, and rarely a few others when working on ideas.  
 

recently someone posted in general and the title looked both long winded and boring.  So….i never looked at it

 

it got locked so i looked.  Yowza.  Bit it is best I did not read earlier.  Sure, there was a lot if opportunities for Snarky comments.  Where to start?  Where to F-ing end?   But I like to raise the level a bit with my Snarking.   As the Devs wisely decided on locking, that thing was in the bottom of the toilet from the go and headed for the sewer at full steam.  Maybe that is what caused the DFB monsters to spawn???

It was a great thing to wake up to. On topic, I now hit General, Suggestions, Brute, Scrapper and Tank forums. Rarely do I venture outside of those. Sometimes I'll check Sentinel but it's pretty dead usually.

I'm so glad you're still finding an outlet to share that shark with us, regardless of that thread being closed!

I was in the middle of translating it when it got locked.  I have an english as a second language co worker so i was treating it like that and making a post.  Today my co worker said 'his mind blew away' but he meant 'he was thinking about something else'.  So there can be a fair amount of difference in what was said and what was meant.  Probably for the best that it was shut down though.

I skipped checking the forums for a couple of days and missed my chance to post any of these (and note, that thread was locked 'before you get meme'd or worse):

I find it interesting what the mods lock and what they jut plain make disappear.  

 

Was OP mentally deranged?  Maybe.  Were they the victims of bad translating software?  Maybe.  But they weren't spamming viruses as far as I can tell.

 

I continue to welcome our professional drama overlords.

Had to go look for it after reading this thread.  No idea what was going on, but it strongly reminded me of a time years ago when I saw some early A.I. trying to learn to compose meaningful conversation.  

 

Not knocking any human who may have been writing it, just observing the similarity.

Hints?

I don't know, a new AT based on a mishmash of wise men archtypes from all cultures sounds good on paper....wait. No it doesn't.

@Techwright nailed it. A.I. bots posting to forums can be hit or miss.

I think at first glance that thread seemed to be trolling or some sort of language issue. The more I think about it--I have seen weird manifestos like that pop up in different places. Often there is a characteristic connection with something mundane, local politics or the mechanics of a video game, with grandiose statements about conspiracies or the ultimate nature of reality. I think there is a decent possibility that someone is experiencing mental health issues and it's probably not a good vein for humor.

I tend to hit "Unread Content" and check what sounds interesting.   That was certainly a thread.

I can't tell you how many verbose diatribes on various issued I've wanted to spew forth on these forums in the guise of game topics. Somehow... I've always managed to avoid them regardless of inebriation status.

Yeah but you're evil not crazy. Also apologies about my terminology here, I don't mean to offend or mischaracterize evil people.

You're still doing it wrong. Being evil while being viewed as a hero means I do evil better.

Wow! Thanks for the pointer, BillZ!

 

Add some peppermint oil, and you've got Doc Bronner's soap!

I, er, wonder if the Vatican knows this guy works for them?

I know people who have experienced and are experiencing serious mental health issues including delusions, paranoia, and schizophrenia.  This post rings of mental illness.  While it’s not possible to know that definitively from a forum post, I think it is wise to assume this person is Ill and to not make light of a possibly serious and /or tragic situation.
