The "You're Banned!" Thread

Banned! It's a classic!

banned for not being up to date on your classics

Banned because you're obviously a liar.

I often wonder if ignoring him is too mean. But then I'm reminded that he is he.

And then I sip from this wine in Brooklyn and think, "Hahaha."

Wine isn't hipster. Shitty beer is.

I believe it's the part where you find a twisted sense of superiority in your taste for obscure, pointless things and your desire to distance yourself from anything that the proletariat might consider enjoyable.

Without that, you're just another worthless spot of yellow haze in the gene pool, an accidental and embarrassing mistake just waiting to be swept away by the current.

And here we see the wild Major, falling back on yet another useless dichotomy to justify her ill gotten sense of superiority.

How's that degree working out for you? Get the job of your dreams? Make something of yourself? Or are you just another useless pissant toiling away in retail because that's about all you're good for?

God forbid you do something useful with your life, right? I mean, seriously, why would you do that? Being a productive member of society is too mainstream, amirite? No, what you're doing is much better. Why, I think your uselessness is visionary. If we're really lucky, you'll either drink yourself to death or piss off the wrong stranger before you ever get a chance to reproduce. I applaud your proactive approach to a problem that could have had disastrous consequences had you not so courageously stepped forward and said "meh."

And here we see the Major, sitting back and congratulating herself on her scathing reply. Too full of her own ego to even be remotely aware of the real world, she fails to notice the shadow of hypocrisy as it sneaks up behind her.

Dude. Really? You write on the same Star Wars site I do, and you're going to talk about regurgitated sci-fi? Your characters are poor copies of work that you could never hope to match. They're shallow one-trick ponies and they kind of suck at the trick they do have. Unoriginal, uninspired, and, stop me if you've heard this before, regurgitated.

And you know what the sad part is? You're not a bad writer. Honest, you're not. If you weren't so full of yourself, there would be real potential. But no, you're going to keep on alienating anyone who would ever give you a chance, and you'll never learn anything from it because you have convinced yourself that it's not your fault. You'll try to say the right things when you realized you've crossed the line (which is a miracle in and of itself) but it's crap. You don't believe it, and in your head you're scoffing. I wonder how this is working for you in the real world. Certainly hasn't done you any favors here.
