The evil boards that never will be...

... well, unless things change drastically in modland! Do you ever find youself dreaming up replies to posts and finding them really witty and cool even though they're clearly against the charter or would really offend people too much? Not obvious insults like "you're a loser" or whatever but more subtle put downs or…

I suspect there's a whole mirror universe of boards out there that only exists in people's heads and that will never come to be because the can't-be-doing-that filter breaks in!

(Oh zomg, so many evil, unsaid responses at me atm, right? )

Yes.. that's right... 23 asterixes! It takes 23 to block that one out... Your puny human minds can't begin to comprehend the severity of the insult.

It involved that rodent you refer to as a cat, didn't it!

Oh yeah! I went there....

I can't belive that I counted them to make sure (or that Monkeyfudge did so too)

YES. You snip away at what youd like to say until what was a Great Dane of a point becomes a whimpering Bichon Frise.

I personally find the inability to curse a curtain on expressing my nature. But that mirror-boards would be a scary place. Imagine an internet lunatic asylum and youre close.

It's true, I often thought of what it would be like.
Like when they show the evil version of the crew in Star trek, they all wear leather cloves and black, Freaky!

Actually, on the flip side, I can remember flaming a newbie user's thread a couple of years back on After Hours. Poor git probably didn't deserve it, but I did one of those line-by-line idea mincers. If I look back over my time at boards.ie, it's the only post I ever made that I think about and cringe. I'm also pretty sure I wouldn't be let away with it now!

/me goes off to look for thread

[Edit] hehhehhehhe found it here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=97473&highlight=arrow

I think what gets me most about this is that, when I was teenaged and angsty, the OP's original suggestion would have appealed to me in a big way. Yet still I slated him (as did everyone else)... and note, he didn't come back past that one post, bless him...

Haha, thats not so bad minesajackdaniels, I was expecting much worse...

I remember when I first starting posting over a year ago, I wandered into a thread where dahamsta was selling a mobile phone. I just posted saying something along the lines of "Lord that phone is crap", he responded, naturally, saying "oh fcuk off", and I keep posting going on about how crap it was....I look back on it now going good god, what an earth was I thinking....he didn't report it, and after several complete and utterly thread destroying comments, no mod seemed to notice, nor was it reported....how did I escape that one??

Anyway.....:D

I long for the day when speakers of Irish can be given the abuse they so richly deserve on these boards. But we'll always have tcal's comments pages...

Ohh... that's hilarious.
*is in tears laughing*

Speaking of which, I like Irish.
It's true you don't need it for collage though - who needs Irish for art?

Many times I've written out a post then not posted it. Generally it's just because I realise it's not as funny as I originally thought.

I regularily go to the trouble of typing out essay style rebuttal posts only to delete them as a simple 'you're a loser' would convey so much more!

Being a mod on another site I generally have to bite my tongue and not dish out some of my wittier and more telling put downs but every once In a while they sneek through and the thread generally ends straight away

A lot of the time I do show restrain but now and then well you just have to let them have it.
