I think everybody gets it now, man. They're all thick, and you and the clutch of posters you approve of are not. Message received.
What seems open to debate is your aim in posting multiple threads to that effect. You've stated many times that you prefer the san(ct)ity of your own lounge, yet you seem to spend almost as much time here posting with a chip on your shoulder as you do making informed, hyper-intelligent posts in said private lounge.
Which begs the question -- are you posting out of concern for the state of the forum, or are you posting just to mock people and incite ****?
It isn't only the volume of these threads you've been making recently, but moreover the consistent tone of them -- insidiously hostile, self-aggrandising -- which seems to smack of a wide narcicisstic streak and cast doubt on any positive intentions you could have.
It's great to be intelligent, but it's not so great to believe yourself more intelligent than you really are. There are many fine posters in NSB, just as intelligent as you and with just as much of worth to contribute.
Bear in mind the sport we follow -- in base terms, we have two men punching each other in the head and body. Pugnacious teenage knuckleheads will come with the territory, however much we intellectualize and apply logic to the sport and exalt its art.
But saying that, I believe the people who have absolutely nothing to contribute really are in the minority and would much rather focus on appreciating the efforts of everyone -- that goes for the BS staff-writers and posters alike -- who contributes to the wealth of interesting, thought-provoking and entertaining reading this board throws up.
There is a lot of good writing posted in NSB, and to focus only on the negative aspects of the forum is to be wilfully ignorant of the diversity of opinion, insight and experience that is shared here.
Ok, so not everybody capitalizes, punctuates or follows the laws of grammar to the letter, some people may use catchy little buzzwords that grate on you, but it pays to come with the attitude of respecting all individuals until they give you severe reason not to.
Dividing fans up into two groups of "non-thick" and "thick" and dismissing the latter for surface aesthetic reasons is is just as misguided as dividing them into
of , no?
You think?
If so, I agree that I might have taken the thread out of context, missed the layered subtlety of the sophisticated humor at work here.
As it is, without necessary enlightenment, it just reads to me a lot more like the latest gruelling reiteration of some larger generalized beef that !! Anorak has with anyone who doesn't meet he and his pals' exactingly high standards.
As satire goes, I've seen a lot better, more intelligently pointed and more entertaining, even on the internet. Like most of the parodies and attempts at satire here, it gets predictable and repetetive and wears thin very quickly, making it as tiresome in its own way -- perhaps moreso, by dint of being so full of its own importance -- as the stuff it targets.
The board needs some more incisive, talented satirists is all I can reply with.
It just goes back to what I said before. Intelligence is fine, as long as people don't get too carried away with their own belief of how intelligent they are.
Alright, I give you bad K for that one though, cos you're starting to get up your own arse a bit here. I mean, it's supposed to ME with delusions of grandeur?
It was announced today that scientists had conducted tests on buzzwords used in supposedly adult boxing discussions, including "nuthuggers", "Stans", "haters" and "lifestyle flashy".
After several intensive testing regimes scientists could find no validity to such words.
"It's quite a surprise," said one Dr. Ivan Madeup, "we saw these words being said so often we assumed they must mean something. But our conclusive evidence shows that they are actually just meaningless noise uttered by 15-year-olds in the absence of any mature rational language."
The focus group tested also expressed surprise upon hearing this. One of the group of volunteers for testing, one Mr. Chip ****ena-Dude, said "It was a big surprise to me, I'll tell ya. All this time I was saying stuff like 'co-sign', 'word' and 'expozzzzed', thinking I was actually making a point. But the scientists informed me that not only was I spouting meaningless kindgerten drivel, but that 'co-sign' also sounded incredibly like the words of a promiscuous ****sexual."
It was at this stage that Chip broke down in tears. "All this frickin' time, man, I thought I was making sense. It turns out I was just talking like a mindless ****."

yo hold up whats with the hate with lifestyle flashy all of a sudden? Floyd said it a bunch of times like Pretty Boy Floyd crem de la crem im the best lifestyle flashy. so yall actin like its made up or somethin. if any of yall want proof i got it. i say it 2 cause its mad cool and thats what its all about. the american dream. some of yall aint from here so if u dont get it thats fine but dont be dissin us. make the cash and get the stash. thats how we do baby. Floyd understands that and thats 1 reason y he has so many fans and support. the hate comes from him being the most popular and famous. so hate always happens but u know ur great when ur hated and he said it too. so i dunno what some of yall prob is with Floyd or lifestyle flashy. he worked hard and earned what he got. hes real. steak and potatos for life.
