Goodbye cruel forum

A shorter form of I'm leaving the board forever, usually posted by people with ADHD, PMS, or menopause, CAPSLOCKERS, dyslexics, n00bs and duh-weebs who are disoriented because they haven't taken the time to learn how to properly use a particular forum's features or interact with people on it.

1. N00b posts message and returns three weeks later and can't find it because it has been scrolled off to the second page by three weeks worth of newer messages:

Who did you $&*^@* delete my message!!! Goodbye Cruel ForuM?????

2. ADHD sufferer submits several messages, after each of which is notified that each message will be reviewed for posting; is too impatient to read that, so:

WHY CAN"T I POST MESSGES LIKE ANYBUDY ELSE? GOODBYE CRUEL FORUM!!!!

3. Capslocker: I WUZ CALM DOWN TIL ALL YOU TOLD ME TO CLAM DOWN!!! GOOD BYE CRLUE FORUM!?!!

4. Dyslexic: I dono wat u mean by my nice gisnature, but u shudnt talk to peeple that way! Goodby cruel forum!

5. Duh-weeb tries to insult someone, but replies to the wrong message and insults someone else. That person replies in kind, and duh-weeb tries to insult him too, but again replies to the wrong message and insults another innocent bystander, and on and on...

Why are all you guys on his side against me??? Goodbye cruel forum!!!

double talk

Otherwise unnecessary verbiage added in order to confuse the listener, such as using a double negative to make a statement mean the opposite of what it would otherwise mean. See also, doublespeak.

"I didn't say I would not do it; I said I wouldn't not do it."

"That's double talk!"

antitrust

An abuse of power or authority over a market to prevent consumers from buying or using the product or service of a competitor. See conflict of interest and monopoly.

When MyCrudSoft first rolled out sWindles, they made sure that it produced an error message while installing onto a better version of DOS than their own, leading consumers to think the better DOS was flawed, even though sWindles worked with it just fine.

Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible will do anything they can to prevent the owner of a domain from transferring it to another registrar. They did it best when they were also the register with which all the other registrars had to register domains.

pobody's nerfect

A conciliatory way of saying, "nobody's perfect" that illustrates the concept. Originated with Cracked and Mad Magazine in the 70s.

I'm sorry, that was dumb.

That's OK, pobody's nerfect.
