Congratulations though on figuring out the inherent sarcasm associated with the phrase I used, but you missed the intent. Instead of lazily attempting a "joke," the phrase is actually used not as a joke, but rather as a simple (perhaps condescending, but not with cruel spirit) response to someone's emotional display of an apparent "outrage" (or it's synonyms).

You know what GMG? People like you. There are returning posters here who are here with the blessing of moderators and who have clearly done their best to fix their reputation. There are also people here who are accused of being returning posters even though there is zero evidence or reason to suggest it. I assume in most cases the evidence is "abrasive, posts a lot, must be returning."

Honestly, for the few people who take the returning poster thing as more than a fun way to take a jab at a guy, it's probably time to check back in with reality and relax. You really spend time wondering why people return? Why people would want to come back? Who is on their first? Second? Third account? Surely your life is more interesting than that. I KNOW it is, because no one' slide is that boring. I mean really man, who cares? I couldn't care less if you are on your first account, or second, why you joined, whether it was in 2003 or 2013, but you care about undercover brother?

This board is for discussing things, right? I think some people would likely be better off if they didn't negatively focus so much on other people, and focused a little more on just the words on the screen.

Tell us how you really feel.
