<yet another generic generic response>

This has been done before. Can't we do something new?

"User-created content takes the idea of leveraging player opinions a step further by allowing them to effectively prototype new ideas and features. Developers can then measure which new concepts most improve the products and incorporate them into the game in future patches."

<dismissive comment about already doing something way back in BETA.>

<15 paragraphs of ranting implying that only people that think the correct way are worth having around, and anyone who disagrees is obviously part of a conspiracy to destroy business/funnel newbs/use mind control on the Lindens/promote general deviant behavior.>

<another dismissive comment meant to belittle an otherwise valid opinion, usually but not always lumping them into a snarkily-named "group", simply because it is not the same as the poster's opinion.>

<further comments illustrating that the only real sin in the forums is to disagree with the poster.>

<post cribbed from an Ed Anger column in the Weekly World News, but "liberal" is replaced with an insulting term targeted at people I like to bait when I am procrastinating and there's nothing good on TV>

From: <some other poster, with no context, maybe fabricated or altered>

<ever-increasing vicious remarks about their need to groom themselves and/or others>
<mention that "increasing" as quoted above is adverbial and needs a different suffix; statment that this is not intended to give ad hominen gravitas to the next generic statement>

<bitching endlessly that one need only alter the meaning of most of the words in the language and you'll understand my view, followed by sending in an abuse report because I feel the quoted post disparaging to me, personally>
