WHAT?! People don't like my snark?!

I know, I'll give context missing from my original post, fail at math, and generally flail miserably at the screen in a petulant manner!
That'll show him!

What is it with the steady trickle of bad-tempered failed snarkers we've been getting on here over the past few months?
When will people learn, laconic rudeness + weak references to other people's humour != snark, dammit!!

I believe the correct equation is:
Stupid post elsewhere + witty observational remark = snark
But then, I failed Differential Snark Equations in College. It wasn't my fault. You can't flail at paper quite as well as you can at a screen.

Oh, I didn't even get to differential, I couldn't manage snark fractions;
"If I have 2/3 of an HBB, add 7/12s disgruntled primary and subtract 1/4 suspicious co-workers, what am I left with?"

Private war + public place = snarkable, != snark.
I'm looking at you,

That thread, apparently, had too much dumb to fit in just one post on my fpage.

Perhaps the community should have an extra strong warning that simply being angry isn't enough, and just thinking that you're clever doesn't make up for not being on-topic.

I'd be honestly surprised if this got a flounce.

But if they flounce, then we don't get as much snark!
