	Thanks Guys/Gals!! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

After getting the floor mopped with my ass in discussions around here and reading the forum like it was the best book Iv ever seen, I totally own on other forums! People on other forums argue like littles kids with two word vocabularies then I pop up and show them how it's done! An example of what Im talking about. Ive been playing Ultima Online on a free shard over the past few weeks and on the forums people are arguing about how much other people need to work on role-playing. So naturaly I step in to try and make peace because I dont want to go to the forums and look at a bunch of squabbling. After writing a few posts, which seem like freaking novels compared to what the normal poster there writes, I get this...

quote: Erik is a god. Funny and so right.

The last few posts in the thread that I posted in have been about how rediculous thier arguing has been, and no one has contradicted a word I have said.

So again, thank you!!

ps. Erik is the name I use on that forum.

I just like to say "thanks 'Poly OT" as well.

The level of debate here is just another level from other OT forums.

Thank you all!

It's true. Every now and again I poke my head into some other OT and recoil in horror.

You're totally right. I've got a couple of other forums in my fingers, political ones, too. Some of them are stupid so I just troll them ad nauseum, and some of them are smart, but I crush them with my superior logic.

It's all thanks to you apolyton.

There often doesn't seem to be much point in being serious on other OT's, since they're usually dominated by the "sUx0rs OMGWTF u r gay lol" crowd. However, I can certainly make good use of the shitstirring skills picked up on Poly.

I have yet to actually venture on to any other OT forums, but I visit a lot of gaming forums that are borderline chaos. They are ruled by weak Admins and Mods. My mission will be to find another OT forum and spread something, be it love, chaos, or something creamy (like peanut butter), Im not yet sure.

I especially like the fantastic standard of debate going on in this thread: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthre...&threadid=92402

The idiocy starts with the original poster completely misinterpreting the meaning of the thing he's referring too and goes rapidly downhill from there.

Yay Poly! We are so clever!

anyway, yes this seems like fun. You must differentiate between the ignorant imbecils that can be cured, and the fortified rock-hard *******s, that are hopeless in their mudslinging.


I've heard that SDMB is of higher intelligence than apolyton. is this true?

Actually, Azazel I think you'll find that you missed the capital letters from "apolyton" and "is". All proper nouns and words at the beginning of sentences must have upper-case letters. Furthermore, you should have inserted "the" before "SDMB" in order for it to be grammatically correct.

	Got spare money?

Yes, those clever people have a vB forum that explicitly prohibits the editing of posts and many of the members feel the need to point out simple typos in posts made by other people, sometimes several pages on in a thread (really, I've seen it more than once).

Other notable threads include:
**** You "Guy who served me at the Deli"
Tell me how to raise my kid
Ask the bored soccer mom
How do I give a good blowjob?
JohnT's thread he'll shortly copy/paste onto Apolyton
I'm so cultured that I like this movie or book lots of other people hate

Yup, it's a real bastion of intelligence.

I'm exaggerating, but only slightly. Of course, this forum is no better.

When I first came here in 1998 (good lawd) I used to engage in long, well thought out debates but now it's just alot easier to come up with one-liners.

Though I agree the level of debate here is one of the best I've seen and highly intelligent.

	Tired of ads?

I noticed a lot more circle-jerking at SDMB. "Why are Dopers so damned smart, and why is everybody else so stupid" threads were a pretty common occurrence, and contained not a whit of irony.

Plus, I like JohnT's copy-pasting. It saves me the trouble of looking for the golden nuggets in that gargantuan forum.
