Ursus: Text coding addict
« on: December 05, 2009, 03:27:54 PM »
Something is wrong with Ursus. This poster spends way too much time doing unnecessary text coding. Why would someone waste so much time copy / pasting news articles, and recoding the text by making bolds, different text sizes, and color changes? This is all unnecesssary, time consuming, and completely backfires because posting long copy/pastes makes navigating pages extremely difficult. The scroll bar should never be reduced to a sliver by a long post, this is good forum behavior, but nobody cares if somebody has a lot on their mind or whatever. But this is someone who does it with every post. To bump a thread they copy/paste some random news article, spend an hour text coding it, and kill the thread because nobody can scroll through all that crap. Links! So much easier and better for everyone involved. But will Ursus follow this advice? Doubtful, because something unsavory is driving this individual to waste their time recoding text. I think they have an addiction, and are in need of an intervention. Does Ursus have a significant other who wonders why they are not in bed? Sorry honey, but I had to code the bolds and underlines, and colored numbers into my copy/pasta about some irrelevant topic nobody reads. Stop being a forum asshole and post links, ya? Great.

Let’s see he’s knowledgeable and detail oriented and probably running on a faster operating system than you are…are you feeling inadequate?

Don’t assume he doesn’t rock the wife out ‘till she’s knocked and then he gets back to business.

I feel it is important to back up any article with a "Link" to the original.  This adds a level of credibility to your post.  But too often, over time, the original is taken down or moved and the link no longer works to support the post.  So Ursus spots a relevant post and copies the original to the forum and fixes the text so that it is easier to read.  This insures that the information is never lost and saves time in the long run trying to find the original if it is moved.  He is doing you a favor why bitch about it?

OM_  I just felt myself---agree with whooter. What’s happening? Something is terribly wrong. I don’t feel well. I don’t understand anything anymore more. I’m going to lay down for a while.

Quote from: "Quest"
OM_ ...
You might just have it there, Quest, right there, in those three letters. I'm actually talking about the word that's been omitted, which you've chosen to represent in your post by an underline. :D  

Perhaps the OP is more miffed than usual given my "random news article" earlier this morning re. the "Exodus" from the Catholic Church in Ireland (due to outrage over the hypocrisy and coverup of what was going on for so many decades at their reform schools)...

It might also explain that ungodly long post in another thread, containing what appears to be the entire text from Genesis 1-24, which is posted shortly after this post of a misquote.

Maybe that's all connected, maybe not.

@Guest, the OP: rock on, my little lamb, you have a nice day too!  :rasta:

    Because sometimes the original articles "disappear".  It's good to have as complete a record as possible.  I greatly appreciate the effort he puts into it.
