The butthurt button tells more about the person who clicked on it than about the post where it was used.

Also, Quetzacoatl man, why are you still staking me and FredRider and tagging all of our posts like you're autistic? Why are you doing something so stupid and pointless, on top of reporting mountains of our posts and practically crying to see FredRider banned? Get a life already. You're like a grating little buzzfly and have nothing to say, on top of being a pathetic knuckle-dragging sycophant towards administrators.

Yeah, and Country_Gravy seems to be the biggest offender. What an utter faggot.

That's udder faggot to you, Virgo, because I love me some big old titties.

This is the only thread I am doing this in and the amount of butthurt is really impressive.

Keep up the good work, guys.

There are three main arguments I can bring up:
You have some sort of problem, Haba? You have some kind of issue with this entirely optional feature? You sure do seem mighty butthurt about it. You're carrying on as if it's got your goat. Well let me tell you something, Haba, let me tell you: What you think doesn't matter. What you think is irrelevant. What you think is completely meaningless and is of no concern.

You pull out statistics, research and studies as if they have some "meaning", as if they have some sort of "relevance". You act as if you can cite some bullshit survey, wave your arms and say "See, I'm right" and this will all magically go away. You act as if what you say here has some sort of impact. This post, this poll, these pathetic attempts you make at pushing your argument, do you think any of it will work? Do you think anything you've done will ever work?

Let me make it clear to you, Haba, right here, right now, so that there's no confusion. So that it's crystally clear in your mind in such a way that it leaves not one essence of doubt.

It doesn't work that way. It doesn't work that way at all.

I'll tell you now, in the clearest way possible, that you can make as many empty statements or pull out as many statistically analysed facts as you like and it won't change a thing.

It won't change a thing.

It won't change a thing because the only thing that matters around here is what I think. The only thing that matters around here is what I do.

And do you think you can stop me, Haba? Do you really think a few words tossed out here and there is going to change my mind?

You can't stop me, Haba. None of you can. I'm the God-damned Administrator here. I'm the one who holds you all by your fat, tiny little squalid testicles. I make this place run. I keep this place ticking so that you can all continue to post your inane crap and have it documented for all time. In here, in this place, I'm the puppet master. I'm the one who pulls your strings. You dance to my tune, in my playhouse. You think you have some sort of say in what goes on around here?

I decide the opening number, when the final scene occurs and what kind of fucking nuts are available during the intermission.

And let me tell you something about those nuts, Haba, they're salty - because I goddamned like them that way.

I like them that way because that's the way it is. I eat raw steel and shit rating systems out before breakfast. I take on bears with my laser eyes and shred metal with my diamond claws. I'm a God-damned bear-munching steel-chewing titanium built administrating machine.

Now let me make you understand, I feed on your butthurt. Your complaints are nothing but sweet beautiful music to my ears. They bring tears of joy to my eyes. They even give me a bit of a chub. I feed on your sweet, delicious butthurt and grow ever more powerful. So much more fucking powerful. You just don't even know what you're dealing with here. You don't even know what you don't know you don't know you know.

Understand?

So be butthurt about it. See if I care. Complain about it all you like. Protest, whinge, block it with adblock, do your worst. Because nothing you do will change anything, Haba. Nothing you do will change one single thing. Now, go ahead and pray for this feature to be removed, Haba, and you go to your church, and, with any luck, you might win the annual raffle, but if you're looking for God, he's in the fucking Administration Panel right now, and he doesn't like to be second guessed. You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something: I am God.

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. DarkUnderlord, and I won't have it! Is that clear?

You think you've merely installed a rating mod. That is not the case! The retards have taken the decent arguments out of this forum, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

You are an old man who thinks in terms of threads and posts. There are no threads. There are no members. There are no moderators. There are no admins. There are no other forums. There is no Internet.

There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of hatred. race-hate, gender-hate, console-hate... hass, nienawiść, haïr, ienaids, and ненависть.

It is the international system of hatred which determines the totality of life on this forum.

That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!

And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE!

Am I getting through to you, Mr. DarkUnderlord?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about Codex and your admin account. You think that you can simplify the hate, the dislike and streamline it into clicking a button. Retards and butthurts, a constant stream of ever increasing digits.

You think that your access to the databases lets you control the hate? Well, Mr. DarkUnderlord, next to hatred, you and your petty ambitions are nothing but dust in the wind. For the great wheel of hate, you're not even a pebble on the road.

We no longer live in a world of admins and members, Mr. DarkUnderlord. The Codex is a college of feuds, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of hate. The world is hate, Mr. DarkUnderlord. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. DarkUnderlord, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no self-censorship or downvoting, hateful exchanges simplified to a press of a button.

A world where wordsmiths and cockmongers face off in brutal duels of argumentation, leaving behind only hurt feelings and trauma. Everything written down, then torn apart and twisted into something foul. A world where one does not pop moles of butthurt from the safety of cover, but must expose themselves to the unforgiving hordes of the Codex. All forever documented in the eternal annals of retardo.

One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common hate, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. DarkUnderlord, to preach this evangel.

My son is 13 weeks and 4 days old. I hope this forum survives another 15 years so he can enjoy this sort of balanced and measured discussion.

This is the only thread I am doing this in

IOW you realize what you're doing is gay. Keep sucking that DU cock, sweetie. Don't forget to swallow.

You just don't get it, do you? Are you really this dense or do you just pretend on the internets? The ridiculousness of these new whatever-the-fuck-they-are is only outdone by your previous two posts.

Get rid of the shitty bling (especially, but not limited to, animated icons) already. I can stomach ratings if they're shown 100% in pure text, but this? Never.

EG: I love RPGs and candid opinions, and this site is very valuable for that, true. But at the end of the day, it is light entertainment and a pleasant community, and nothing more. When you have a life to live, and a family to take care of, if a source of entertainment involves dealing with mountains of inanity, it's easily dismissed.

It's a little late, but...

The new ratings system is so bad, even the trolls are threatening to leave. :troll:

You aren't telling anyone anything by clikcing on an icon.
Neither you are telling anyone anything by posting "lol", "agree" or "youar edumb". The difference is that the former keeps all those "lol"s, "agree"s and "youar edumb"s sequestered as derpy icons and out of discussion proper.

Eventually everyone will ignore those.
Good. Anything that makes derpy non-contributions easier to ignore is an improvement in my book.

If you think someone's stupid, you should write a post cleverly and funnily pointing this out.
My stock of clever is quite substantial but it's still but a drop compared to the vast ocean of stupid.

It's pretty rare to get an 80+% of Codexer agreeing about something. It goes to show how utterly 'orrible 'og of a mod it is.

Come to think about...

It makes Codexers up in arms more than anything else?

Oh, the further pain we could have caused HHR (and assorted others) . . .

At least I'll always have my stupidity to entertain myself.

There should be an option that would allow one to instantly block every newfag user registered after 2010. I can't think of many specimens from the post-2010 era worthy of an elite Codexer's attention.

Like the oldfags are being any better nowadays. Most of them have more posts in GD than anywhere else.

But being a shitposter for a longer time has to mean something!
