Does Anyone Listen, Or Actually Read?

As Far As I Am Concerned...I See That Everyone Talks About Their Own Thing Here, And No One Gets A Responce...I Must Say...THAT SUCKS. People Should Actually Read Other Peoples Messages Instead Of Being A Damn Newgroup HOG. ...I Can See In My Other Newsgroups...Topics That Are Not Interesting...Nobody Responds To Them...But In This One...Nobody Responds To Anything...Can Someone Explain This To Me? I Personally Like Reading Everyones Comments, And Responding To Them, But No One Says Anything About What I Say To Them, ANd To Be Honest...I Begin To Loose Intrest In This Newsgroup...People Like To Be Heard, And People Appreciate Responces.

O.K., now let's try to get an answer from someone who isn't a complete moron....

Wellll, I think I'm not a moron. At least, I hope I'm not. :P

In response to Brandon, sometimes when a discussion is brought up, some individuals just can't think of anything they feel would be useful and relevant to the topic at hand. Some people can contribute to one topic, while others can't think of anything interesting to say. That's my reasoning. :)

AAUGH! <hits self over head> See what happens when you only get to see the movie once?!? Now, I hope everyone out there learned a lesson from this. SEE THE MOVIE AS MANY TIMES AS YOU CAN! :)

Thanks for clearing that up, Toni. I've seen the film four times, but the fourth time was over a month ago. I just can't remember the context of that line. Could you please cite the line's context? Thanks.

It's after the scene in Starks' Pond, when the kids are back in Mr. Garrison's class. Mr. Hat asks a math question ("What is 2x2?" I think is what he asks) and encourages the kids to answer. When Clyde raises his hand and says, "12?", Mr. Garrison responds with something like, "Thank you very much Clyde. Now let's get an answer from someone who isn't a complete retard." After that Kyle raises his hand and says, "I know the answer Mr. Garrison" to which Cartman mimics Kyle's voice and Kyle yells at Cartman and says something like, "Shut your fucking mouth fatass!", which leads to all of them uttering at least one cuss word and my favorite part in that scene- Cartman asking Mr. Garrison via megaphone, "HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUCK MY BALLS?........Mr. Garrison."

Is there any particular reason you chose to capitolize every word in your post?

Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter Of Every Single Word? It Makes Your Posts Very Hard To Read.

And it's also very hard to do. You actually need to put effort into capitalizing every word, unlike keeping the Caps Lock key on, or totally forgetting that the Shift key even exists. It makes you wonder about the intent of the original poster. Possibly a troll?

Yeah, but a competent troll generally *wants* people to read eir posts...I just about gave up on reading Capitalization Boy's message after just a couple of lines.

So is this then an incompetent troll, or something else?

My guess is it's just a retard. on usenet. A retard...on usenet? My god! What will the think of next?!

More likely just an illiterate. Trolls usually try to draw responses based on content, not presentation. Note that this guy can't even spell simple words like "interest" or "response" or the verb "lose," and speaks in the most overwhelming look-how-clueless-and-self-absorbed-*I*-am tone, ominously noting that he's losing interest, as if that should make us all gasp.

Someone who pauses to initial-cap every word probably types AND THINKS so slowly that the extra time it takes him doesn't phase him -- if he even notices it. Now *that's* scary.

We know that the Net attracts control freaks like shit attracts flies. But contrary to myth, not all of them shout and scream. Some post pointless, passionless slop like his and expect to be taken seriously. It's a bit more entertaining than the romans (et al.) of the world, but it's just as big a waste overall, unless it spawns Provocative Or Intriguing Discussions (POIDs) among the spectators, which in fact seems to be a secondary function of this and many other TV-related NGs, especially during reruns.

And no, I don't claim that this thread is a POID -- at least not yet.
