You're lucky I have a job now or I'd have 463928465969373 more posts than this.

Also, I'll try posting more often from the less retarded side of my brain.

It's my biggest flaw.  I was thinking of getting a top hat with a clock in it.

Funny, the reason I have so many posts is because I have a job. When I'm not here, I don't post much.

^5! 

I'd hate to make someone miserable, at least for no good reason.  And I can see getting the timing wrong.  I don't really care when I got here, either.    And I tend to forget that some people who joined after me aren't old timers.

You are wise indeed.

This is finally the iteration wherein the running gag became hilarious.  Well done, sir.

I'll have a stab at this one.

While some people think you typing the same repetitive insults over and over is amazeballs(Straek highlighted this in the pay 2 win thread and you're doing it here as well) to other people it just comes over as pretty lame at best.

You've had several people try to drop subtle hints in your direction recently (This thread and the Pay2win one) that you might be overdoing the frothing at the mouth routine. 

I wouldn't mention it if you fell into the Epoch, Gunga, Eladiun sorta crowd who really don't care what people think about them, but it appears you do given your obsession with telling people about "Social indicators" and all that jazz.

You're obviously a smart guy, just a smart guy that's trying too hard to the point of being annoying to some. 

I doubt that this will meet your criteria for being deep enough, but it's the best I can manage

Dare I enter the arena? 

Yes, I'll play a little.

You are close, but not quite there with the real problem with Oak qua Troll.

I look at Oak ...hmmm...ok I read Oak's posts, ahem, and I see a Troll on the cusp of greatness, but has way too much baggage to turn that corner.

Remember that game folks tend to play in their Teens or early 20's, "If you were stuck on a desert island what 10/20/whatever albums/songs/books/etc would you bring with you?"  It's like Oak is trying to play that game when he posts and has his 10-ish favorite responses from which he picks a semi-appropriate one and goes with it never venturing far off course.

This is not unlike the comedian or the joke-writer who makes generous use of various "sandbags" or standard, pat jokes that are easily at hand and universally accessible for nearly any quick-retort situation.  Make no mistake about it, Oak is pretty darn good at that.  But he could be so much better.

If Oak would just broaden his horizons and discover the wondrous energy found in the vagaries of the English language and it's sub-genre American Slang, he would put himself on the path of the legendary troll.  I do not dare suggest that he might ever arrive there, but he has the potential.

I look, erm, read Oak's posts, as I said when I began, and I see a Troll on a path...will he remain beneath his comfortable well-worn bridge and eat the poor billy goats that cross it from time to time, or will he move on down the path to that massive steel and asphalt troll cathedral spanning a huge gulf where he can have the choicest of poor victims for his porridge?

Hey, we are a trio! Like the three musketeers!  The original three before that stupid whiny bitch showed up and ruined everything.
