no.

and duke baby, it pains me to deny you anything.

accuracy man, accuracy--it was far from his first post, he'd had 30-something greatest-misses that didn't exactly ingratiate himself to anyone but the remaining taliban who were thrilled at more evidence we've become the bitches osama alluded to in his "paper tigers" schtick. i didn't jump on him on his first post, he wasn't endearing himself to the board at that point. whether he's incapable of taking audience design into consideration and assessing the situation he's about to dive head-first into, didn't bother doing it, or thought he was able to walk on water is another question.

it's not like there weren't 5 threads below what he posted in that should have conveyed the hostility he was about to swan dive into, including willie's alt-porn lampoon. some people take 5 minutes to survey the lay of the land before jumping in to post, some don't. i've got no patience for those who don't or think they're going to be the guy unaffected by torment-he'd pissed people off before and came into the part of the board that's instantly-recognizable as oft-unfriendly.

he may be the greatest guy in the world, he walked in like an asshole and duke-it's just a message board. we say mean things if they're funny or should something be sub-optimal.
