An observation and a law
Don't you love the phenomenon I have hereby dubbed INTERNET ONE-DICKMANSHIP:
When you pull out your inter-dick and type the following speech in more or less these words:
"My magnificent inter-dick is clearly more evolved than that sorry excuse you call e-genitalia.
In fact, you should thank me for the favor I am doing you in telling you this.
You do not? You are angry with me? But I merely speak the truth. It is you who are the weakling.
Oh very well. I see that you are all just losers, whereas I have a life.
Thereby I am forced to bid you adieu.
Adieu, adieu, adieu.
No, for real this time.
Do not attempt to follow me!
Pathetic worms."
Inspired by this shining example. Note the correct way to handle a troll - not with EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE LJDRAMA.
This attitude thrives on the average computer keyboard's marked lack of a "grab by scruff of neck, pull into back alley and administer tire iron justice" button. I heard Microsoft is working on one as part of "trusted computing" though.
Also, the use of "Common." right next to "illiterate mayor."
I hereby dub this next bit Trism's Law because I have seen it so many goddamned times.
TRISM'S LAW: Any sufficiently long message on the Internet, correcting or mocking someone else's grammar or style, will itself contain one or more errors of grammar or style.
Feel free to post your favorite examples as the mood strikes you.
