If we wanted to talk to people who don't care about stuff like this, we know where to find them. Probably.

The bolded word.

[Dirt Roads]

We would require an additional shrubbery.

Of course, because nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.  Surprise and fear!

So, I guess you can't.
Then I don't believe you.
You made up the word 'impleasable'.
The capsule stands.

Well the word 'unpleasable' does exist in current English usage --

And monkeys live in Africa -- another statement that has nothing do to with 'impleasable'.

Ironically, the funny thing about a lot of American cities is they have pretty definitive urban sinners

I might need to talk to my therapist about that topic.

[Max Rockatansky]

I'm not finding a publicly accessible link for that spelling. That's as far as I'm taking the "impleasable" discussion.

Is there another way to mark the occasion when Garbage Day arrives?  If there I'm not aware of it.

[Max Rockatansky]

I think you missed the part where Plutonic Panda linked a clip for Silent Night Deadly Night II?  He linked this clip in the reply before me which contains the quote "garbage day!"

Hey look at that, I provided a citation!  Not so hard after all, give it a try.

Beltway's spamming the forum.

[Scott5114]

If you highlight the quote you like and click "Quote selected text" it will create the code for a nicely formatted quote box for you in the "Quick Reply" box. You can then cut and paste it in this thread.

This has the benefits of both allowing readers to click a link to return to the original discussion (if they're interested in the context) and notifying the original poster that they have been quoted.

I know . . . but that doesn't work on locked threads.

I suppose including the group/thread name would make it easy for someone to find the evidence.

[hotdogPi]

It's possible to manually create a quote of a locked thread, but it takes a bit of work. For example, you'll need to find the Unix timestamp (or just binary search until the date and time match).

Yes I thought of that and it would be possible. But this would pin it down --

Yep, it works just fine to do it manually.

Step 1: Beltway makes a provocative statement

Step 2: Forum users are aghast

Step 3: Beltway doubles down

Step 4: Users disprove Beltway's 'evidence'

Step 5: Beltway triples down

Step 6: Users clown him.

Step 7: Beltway: "It's the user's fault for flooding the threads with nonsense and distracting from reasonable debate _{and not agreeing that I'm right about everything.}"

Step 8: Thread gets locked

Step 9: Repeat steps 1-9

Step 10: ... Profit?

I find it interesting that his recent posts in this thread are all targeting users he doesn't like.  It feels like bullying to me.  Or an attempt to "document" people trying to "stifle his reasonable debate".

Here are a few good stewardship-related gems:

This is sabotage, not stewardship.

Outer Harbor Crossing design ... was never about stewardship

Stewardship ... is spectacle, not substance ... and ... was never really about ... stewardship.

I kind of wonder what he thought "garbage day" was a reference to?  He clearly didn't get that it was a quote from a campy 80s slasher movie.

Negative. Just using poster comments that were made to me and/or who have targeted me multiple times in the past.

Off Topic is a tommyrot-friendly space.

I need to come up with a nickname for this poster.

Nickname ideas
- Captain Compliance - always waving the DOT rulebook.
- Manual Man - as if every post is a spec sheet citation.
- Mr. 19,515 - a nod to his post count obsession.
- The Forum Foreman - barking orders like he's running a job site.
- Spec Sheet Sage - convinced every detail must be benchmarked against a manual.
- Bridge Troll - lurking under every thread, ready to pounce.
- DOT Oracle - speaks as if his word is policy.
- The Dichotomy Dude - riffing off that "bizarre dichotomy" line.

There, I fixed it for you.  When you don't properly format your quotes, the timestamp doesn't adjust correctly based on people's local time zone.  Why are you too lazy to do this the right way?  The world wonders.

Also, you capitalized my username incorrectly.  It should be all lowercase.  Why are you so inattentive to detail?  The world wonders.

Stet capsula in saecula saeculorum.

[PColumbus73]

Beltway seems to have a lot of favorite forum quotes. It's surprising they didn't mention them before.

Must be a delayed reaction thing.

I knew how to do it. I just didn't care enough to bother for that post. The reference was there either way.

Duly noted. I'll let the software handle caps the way it sees fit

Bad time to remind you that we are missing a verifiable citation on "impleasable?"

He's making a list of all the users who are not nodding their heads in rapt attention and he's going to tell Daddy that we're being mean and he's actually full of smartyness. He has a petition with the silent majority to have us all taken down.

Since you brought up "delayed reactions," here's your earlier commentary for reference.

You're not supposed to say the silent part out loud.
