skinsfan1523 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Once again the rules dont make exceptions because this guy was trying for irony. It says to be accurate i your thread title. I really dont see how that can be mistaken, Google a modest proposal, and enlighten yourself with some knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hubbs built it, and the dillards have come out in full force lol. Acutely I was.....Care to give any reasons for your smart *** response ? Well I am pretty bummed about the loss, but I gotta say this thread is making me feel better. My apologies, but I am having a good laugh at some of you right now. People are astonishingly ignorant. Read the OP. No no, it's much better if people don't read the OP, then they post responses based on not reading the OP. Then I can mock their responses. I don't think you see the fact that my entire profession is based on me being a sarcastic *******, and once I can no longer do that, I have to look for a new job. So yes, I want people to say stupid things. Because then I can make fun of them. And I make money when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I wonder how many people will post without reading the OP. And also completely miss the reference to the original Modest Proposal referenced in the thread title. Welcome to ES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionary Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Exactly like i said rule #8 pick the topic of your thread according to what your going to post. Dont pick a title then decide your going to do an complete 180 in your post i get what he was going for but dont bash me and other poeple because we thought this thread was bashing our DC. with a title like that what are you supposed to think? Maybe to know that "modest proposal" was an obvious giveaway that he wasn't serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLredskin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 The OP for what??? so he can explain ways to fire Haslett, explain why he has a problem with Haslett. I see fire Haslett and I could care less what he says afterwards...I was going to read it then I figured it was just a bunch of whining so I wasn't interested.

s0crates Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Once again the rules dont make exceptions because this guy was trying for irony. It says to be accurate i your thread title. I really dont see how that can be mistaken,Dude. Stop. Please. For your own sake. Trust me. It has been a bad enough night already without the added embarassment you are causing yourself.Google Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal." Go do it. Now. Whenever you see the words "A Modest Proposal," you can bet the farm you will be reading something satirical. The title DID indicate that the post would be ironic, and thus is well within the rules.

Well if you are familiar with "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift you'd realize that you're entering a thread named after an essay where it was suggested (in jest) that the poor in Ireland sell their children as food. That is what I'd call a red flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x96bryan10 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Just stop dude. Just say...."my bad, I replied without reading your post" ....and be done with it. The thread title is fine and he's not broken any rules. that would be obvious just reading my post or a few others but still the rules are the rules Im not looking for thread ;abeled one thing only to be about another. Oh wait a thread is titled sayign our offense is going to carry us to the playoffs only to have the people interested in that thread click on a thread totally bashing our offense. Ur right that is what people scanning this board want to see. Lets trick you to get you to view our thread so i can feel important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLredskin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 He's being sarcastic!! He's playing the role of people who say that they want Haslett fired but in his post he names all the counter arguments. Are some of you really that slow? Maybe YOU should go back and read my 2nd post in this thread to know I already figured that out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan133 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yes, FAIL on my part. The OP obviously doesn't matter in any thread. People should respond based on the title and the title alone.Oh wait.... maybe looking up what "A Modest Proposal" means in the entire ****ing English language s important because it shows that reading the proposal is important. Maybe you should have done that. I don't know why you quoted me in there, I wasn't responding to your post. In fact, assuming I hadn't read your OP, it would logically follow that I would be on your side given the thread title you chose. :whoknows:talk about reading in context Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your opinion has nothing to do with labeling his title accurately no where does it say in my memembership criteria that i be familar with A modest proposal by anyone.

All those people had the sense to admit their mistake or to not say anything at all. Welcome to ES, this is how things work around here. No one thought less of you.
