How to be a Humorless Prick on Datalounge

Call anyone who disagrees with you a "Troll," then exult over the fact that you blocked them, and encourage others to do the same. Oh, and before that, spend lots of time going through other threads to see if you can find the troll again, and report exactly how many times you found them. Then block, them, FF them, and masturbate yourself to sleep.

Berate someone mercilessly for not knowing the difference between their, they're and there.

Confusing personal opinions with truth. " ...what you like is wrong"

Grammar police.

Grammar crap.

Elder gay bullshit.

And transphobia. Just because I don't agree or like something doesn't mean I fear it.

Haranguing a poster for not knowing a minor detail related to a photo of the British royal family that was taken in 1953. Or, haranguing a poster for sharing the detail, because of course everyone else knows it already.

State disapproval or displeasure in threads that would have hold no interest for you otherwise

Very similar to r3 except "your opinion is wrong" can apply to topics in which one does have an interest, like "Who of the current announced candidates would make the best President for 2021 onward?"

Example: a topic of interest to dog owners "I don't have a dog"

or a topic of a current TV show "I don't have cable"

"what's your favorite Little Rascals episode?" "Only centenarians enjoy B&W short films from 90 years ago when they were first-run in movie palaces, nobody else watches B&W comedy shorts, even though many are available on YouTube., DailyMotion and Vimeo."

Announce you're blocking someone for having wordplay (for example, anagramming) with book titles on a "what we're reading" thread, so everyone else can see how humorless and upset with cleverness you are.

Confine your posts solely to the Meghan Markle threads and accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being “sugars”!

Start a thread to complain about a topic you're sick of people posting about.

See how it works out for you.

Make sure to declare "Blocked!" any time you block someone, period.

You have all seen the wrong version of FOLLIES, GYPSY, and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, and thus your POV is less than worthless.

Demand to know **WHO** is posting something you don't like, as if their name, location, and social media profiles will be provided in subsequent replies.

Listen up, bitches. Just because Mommy applauded you when you took your first dump in the potty doesn't mean the rest of us have to applaud you when you take a dump here.

Nobody is exempt from criticism here. This is not a "safe space" for you right wing political bullshit, your pathological fandom of some random Instahoe, closeted actor, or favorite animal. You're going to have to take your lumps like the rest of us. You aren't special. It's nice that you like yourself, but don't count on everyone to feel the same way.

Meanwhile, no doubt that everyone complaining other people being assholes have spent their fair share being the asshole here.

So, in conclusion, I like to fuck assholes. But I don't fuck assholes like you.

I think Benjamin Franklin said that.

After announcing your BLOCK! of someone, be sure to follow them from thread to thread.

Because that doesn't look scary, stalker-ish, or borderline psychopathic AT ALL...

Humorless Elderprick at r13 has spoken!

After blocking people, pay close attention to missing message numbers in threads you read. Then, create new messages with nothing but references to those messages, so you can use the pop-ups to see what the blocked people said.

If you care so much about what they say, stop blocking them!

LOL R14.

That seems to happen on here a lot too.

And another thing. Why the fuck would anyone be interesting in stalking you after they blocked you? You get blocked, it's because we're tired of your bullshit. We don't want to see more of it.

If you're getting blocked or harrassed in mutliple threads, it's because you're an asshole.

You just wish someone cared enough to stalk you.

The loneliness of a Datalounge troll.

Somebody should right a country song about that.

I think you hit a nerve R14

There's other type of humorless prick on DL --in the literal sense of being completely devoid of humor. Like "Let's be an airport" and someone will post "I am the board that tells you which gates all the flights are leaving and departing from"

And you're like "yeah... and..."

What’s wrong with that, R20. That’s part of an airport.

R20 Leaving and departing are the same thing

Thread hijackers.

That insufferable cunt who says Thread Closed before its even gotten started.

As gay men, you and I share a similar joyful, childlike enthusiasm for [some unnamed cultural artifact] that the straight world takes no notice of....

But you're getting it WRONG. You love [blank], but in totally the wrong way.

And that makes you worse than Hitler.

Let me explain the multiple ways that you are getting [blank] totally wrong, you shallow poser.

grammar trolls are the worst (as best as I can remember)

It doesn't matter what you say, I'm going to turn it into something negative about millennials or AOC.

Everything said here squared.

I'm tired of trolls bumping old threads because they keep getting their own deleted because they are morons. OP can lick the fattest part of my ass if he doesn't like it

Also, someone explain irony to him.

R16, the ignored tab will show the missing post but not the reply number, so I'm sure people post specific reply numbers as you described to try to figure out WHICH ignored person said what.

It's irritating, sure, but this is also not the most intuitive website.

R26 The "G" in "grammar" is supposed to be capitalized, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT

It's DataLounge for fucks sake. Anything and everything is fair game.

Saying "Jealous bitches" about the stupidest shit.

And use a period at the end of a sentence, r26 and r31!

Including your inability to punctuate for FUCK'S sake, r32!

We come here to have pointless bitchy fun.

And to have a lifetime of simmering, barely suppressed rage triggered at a single click!

Good times.

R36 Your sentence does not have a proper verb, YOU ASSHOLE! FF! And I'm trolling all your other replies too! See if I don't!

Be the two posters arguing off topic in between all the other posts in an otherwise delightfully bitchy thread.

Defending bigots while self-describing as "liberal" and "progressive".

People here use the word asshole as if it were a bad thing.

One of the reasons I like following DL is that you can pretty much count on a few bitchy remarks. Bring it on.

Thread Closed (haha)

Oh I'm blocking all of you dummies, ff'ing you and sending Muriel an email. I have a friend at the FBI who's very talented at tracking IP addresses, too!

Saying ** crickets ** if someone hasn't devoted their life to staying on the board to respond to you quickly enough.

Only sexists and homophobes consider so-called tr*nsph*b** anything other than a term of false equivalence bigots use to project their bigotry onto those they hate. This is how DARVO works.

Post something that leaves out context and makes no grammatical or logical sense, but does make your outrage crystal clear.

[quote] When someone comments on a dormant thread because they searched for the topic first, declare your outrage over "bumping old threads!"

You only got it half right OP. When someone starts a new thread when a thread already exists you call them "OP is worst than a Nazi".

I wouldn't know, since I am a humorous prick or was that humongous prick, I forgot.

Dissing the Golden Girls.

If you see someone question the wisdom of being a cumdump, insist over and over that the questioner is 90 years old and jealous of the cumdump’s “sex positive” lifestyle. Do it again and again because, the more you say it, the truer it is. Also, it makes you feel better about being an under performer, regardless of your age. Seriously, everyone understands your malfunction. You’re basically wearing a sandwich board that says, “I’m an Unfuckable Loser and I Live Through Porn Actors and Reality ‘Stars.’”

What happened to 💩 👞👟👠👡?

Like this: "Enough."

R4, what you call "transphobia" is what I call "sanity". There's nothing wrong with being anti-bullshiT.

Post a score of 0/10 for any suspected EST without writing a scathing review!

Be R52.

Complain when someone bumps an old thread, and also complain when someone starts a new thread about a topic that already has threads.

0/10 as r1

Using corned beef as an example of Irish cuisine.

I'll always, always correct bad grammar.

I'm sorry if your education was so deficient that you can't spell, but take it up with them, Mary, not me.

Personally, I appreciate the grammar/spelling/punctuation trolls.

Omg.

How to be a Humorless Prick on Datalounge?

See r18.

Thinking that Russian "bots" 1) can make customized responses tailored to your own random thoughts and 2) that the DL is important enough to be on the radar of these Russian bots.

R65 And thinking that switching to a Cyrillic keyboard after you say "Boris, call Svetlana in Vladivostok for better instructions", that everybody at home is slapping their knees and chortling appreciatively. Hint: we all think you're basic 2016.

Argue with a troll that everyone else has blocked.

Call someone a "faggot" for pointing out your illiteracy.

OMFG.

How does a humorless prick differ from a pointless bitch?

We're ALL insufferable, it's DL FFS.

The grammar nazis are the worst.

Vun moost alvays vear my NEW YORK line vile posting on DL!

Copy MyMillennialEnemy.

Not really a humorless prick, but I am completely baffled by people who ask questions on DL that are easily searchable on the internet in seconds. They could have that answer immediately if instead of typing it on DL they would type it in a search box. When I want to know something I tend to want to know it now, not when someone gets around to answering a question I might post on DL. Even then this being DL how do you know that the answer you get on DL is correct. I just don't get it, are they that lazy, or do they love having people cater to them?

Be Ooze

[quote]Confine your posts solely to the Meghan Markle threads

They've been going on for two years, r8? Who knew?

Nitpick ESTs to find inconsistencies and post why they’re not real.

What’s wrong with bumping old threads? I’ll never understand it.

[quote]Not really a humorless prick

R74 That's what you think

R1 is the best thing about this thread.

[quote]What’s wrong with bumping old threads?

The main reason I hate them is that you can't give WWs to a thread that's more than a year old. You don't necessarily know you're in an old thread until you start getting those damned "Could Not Save" popups, because most people don't bump old threads.

I like giving WWs to posters who make me laugh, or tell me something I didn't know. Or to those with whom I agree on some critical issue.

But then you also get flamed for starting new threads on older topics so....

R82, most of the "worse than Hitler" threads are started within 24 hours of their respective originals. Tthose are the ones that get flamed most frequently.

The only bumped old threads that bother me are those where there's a random news story in them ("college quarterback comes out as gay!") and it's clear half the posters think this happened last week, not six years ago.

Better a humorless prick than a TERF cunt!

[quote]You don't necessarily know you're in an old thread until you start getting those damned "Could Not Save" popups, because most people don't bump old threads.

Isn't there a date on the thread and all the posts (there is for me)?

Yes, all posts in every thread have the date listed.

Be the DLer who points out that somebody else has already posted the same thing.

Yes, douchebags r88 and r89, I always read the date of a post before I read the post itself.

R74, I like to have a variety of povs and, yes, be catered to. Youngest Child Syndrome.

R91 is triggered

I wonder if he’ll read the date before responding?

R93 Hard to say. It's a LOT of work.

That's why Defacto bumps old threads though, r78 and R84, he wants people to think old news items, especially the trollish stuff meant to cause an uproar, is brand new. He works hard to find racebaiting and homophobic threads from 2015 that never even got one reply back then, he's hoping they'll start a huge fight this time when he bumps them. He also does it to flood the front page of DL and push current news and discussions off the list.

It's been happening for literally five years at this point, anyone who says "I don't understand why it's bad" is probably a troll, too.

R44 is proof that for a while, someone DID moderate this board.

And would you mind sharing it with the rest of the class, Miz Gurlene?

“Humorless prick on Datalounge” is a redundant statement.

Where do these stalkers who unearth lists and lists of posters' previous threads find the time?

R99 - I have too much time it seems. Inherited a portfolio of Blue chips that pays roughly $450,000 annually. I’ve already done all the “things” that are supposed to fulfill you and now I’m bored so I go online.

The people who block or ignore others. What a buch of snowflakes. Toughen up.

R100 good on you! Now keep stalking!

Harassing someone better educated than yourself when they post something such as: Meghan is about to learn the meaning of nemo me impune lacessit.

r16, I had no idea why people did that, i.e., announce and reference a prior post that they blocked - especially when they go to the trouble of listing every post in a long string of references.

[quote] Inherited a portfolio of Blue chips that pays roughly $450,000

Only that much, dear? That wouldn’t give you bragging rights on a quiet Tuesday night at Annabels. You’ll need to dream a little bigger from your bedsit.

grammar police anti semites, anyone who will pick on this post because I didn't start with a capital letter...all the petty crap only a few care about.

Since when did DL become an English class?

[quote] Inherited a portfolio of Blue chips that pays roughly $450,000

To impress us, you’re really going to have to dream a little bigger from your bedsit, darling. Best of luck.

[quote]Inherited a portfolio of Blue chips that pays roughly $450,000 annually.

Of course you did, dear. But to clue you in: it wouldn't even give you bragging rights on a quiet Tuesday night with a bunch of gay hedgies at Annabels.

You'll need to dream a little bigger from your bedsit to make a 'splash' amongst the fantasists here.

r95: "That's why Defacto bumps old threads though .... He also does it to flood the front page of DL and push current news and discussions off the list."

So what? Just block the old thread, and you won't see it. And if others choose to engage in the old threads rather than some boring new one, good for them. If you hate it, create new, interesting threads.

Defending ALW or championing his shitty shows (all of them!) on the Theatre Gossip threads is a deadly waste of time.

There's nothing to unearth, R99, you either click on their red name and see all their posts, or put them on ignore and then click on the ignored tab. It's easy. I don't know why people think it's information that's difficult to dig up.

Stop making sense r109! You new around here?

What’s Annabels?

R112 and R109, you can't block threads, haven't been able to for years now, and I suspect you both know it.

R109 here; I block threads all the time. If you can't, it's probably less of a website issue and more of a user issue.

R115, you spent hours the other day on "Worst Threads" trying to get my attention, eventually demanding everyone FF and block me because you were certain I was a stalker with one million sockpuppets.

Now you're stalking, and you didn't even take your own advice to FF and block me. Maybe you don't know how, since you don't know how to quote and think you're putting threads on ignore when you're not. I'll link the FAQ for you, maybe you can learn something.

Here's your attention, Sweet Cheeks, I hope it makes you feel better.

Ok

Automatically saying "that didn't happen" as if you were there and are a good judge of the situation and need to announce it and then argue about it.. Many great stories have been shut down or remain untold because of trolls with boring lives.

Point out some minor flaw on some clearly very good looking Insta-Ho's body ("He's hideous! His right nipple points slightly downward!")

Fill up said Insta-Ho threads with posts about how you really find short bald hairy men to be attractive and thus said Insta-Ho is hideous to you which (a) inflames the OP who is clearly infatuated and (b) causes the thread to remain at the top of the Recent list

Ditto those who post approvingly or disapprovingly about the uncircumcized penises of otherwise forgettable pron stars

Not interested in anyTransgender topic social media. But very annoyed with these characters using DL to visciously spread trans hate. They won't stop. They'll (basically a couple of posters with multiple accounts) search for any thread to inject anti-trans remarks. It is obsessive behavior.

R120 - “Trans hate” is not restricted to DL. I’ve seen a lot of it on TikTok as well. Some of it is funny said with humor and some is outright cruel.

Writing a post about Trump on a thread that has nothing to do politics or Trump, like astrophysics. Poster is annoying and clueless about how pathetic he's revealed his life to be.

r122 = Trump

^^^annoying and clueless about how pathetic he's revealed his life to be.

Posting news of a celebrity death without using the magic words DEAD TO ME.

R122

R95 I used to just let these comments slide, but now it’s snowballed into people believing bullshit lies about me, so I feel the need to speak up.

If I bump a thread about a THOT hiding a gun up her snizz, what on earth does that have to do with making people think something political just happened?

The problem is that some of you are so paranoid and obsessed with politics that a skank shoving a gun up her snatch IS political somehow. You see politics in everything and no amount of reason can make you see that sometimes a gun in the snatch really is just a gun in the snatch.

[quote]“Trans hate”

Only if they're Trans Fat.

[Quote] a skank shoving a gun up her snatch IS political somehow

Oh yes indeed r128 There's nothing more deeply and dangerously political than a vagina with a gun.
