It's like going-up to a bouncer and saying 'I don't like you, you think you're some hardassed tough guy, but you're just a retard', punching him, getting your ass kicked for it, and then crying-out about it afterwards.
Is it? :err:

I'd say it's more like seeing a leathered-up, spandex-wearing Judas Priest fan walking down the street. Unable to resist, I leaned out my car window and yelled "FAG!!". which was partly serious, but not completely. Then some gay rights activist comes up and hassles me about why I said it. I give a good reason as to why I think Spandex-boy is a fag, not realising he's standing right behind me. Then Spandex-boy lets rip with a speech about the gay rights movement, how awesome being gay is and how much better gay people are than everyone else, then assumes I'm a transvestite hooker and gives me shit about it. This gross misinterpretation and flamboyant display of condescention annoys me and I respond with appropriate levels of controlled rage.
In turn, this upsets the surprisingly large amount of gay rights activists hanging around, and they all get stuck into me.

I like my analogy better.
 
Look you fucking halfwit, just because your intelligence is blatantly inferior it doesn't mean that someone with an intellect blatantly superior to yours is in any way attempting to belittle you with his use of it!

Get over the fact that he converses better than you, and either fuck off or stop making empty, worthless and irrelevant insults based on someone's choice of words. You laughable fool.
 
Nice way to make a point. I'll have to make sure that when i want to win an arguement or make myself seem intelectually superior, i make a generalisation about the intellegance level of the country of origin of the person i am argueing with. Though i guess i would probably find it hard to make the english seem stupid...

Point taken, I expected that. Just felt like a laugh. I'll edit it though.

I don't really have a top five, and a lot of really good ones have already been mentioned. There's way too many to just pick five, and then list them in order. So here's five that happened to come to mind.

Definitely one of them. I know Effigy Of The Forgotten's cover rocks it, too, but I can't be assed to get all of these.
 
Firstly, some rather fine arguments by SculptedCold, but I'm not writing this to kiss ass, so I'll digress.

.*stunned*

I didn't know people as gay as this actually existed.


You are by far the snobbiest, most pretentious elitist I've ever encountered.

Congratulations on writing the most self-glorifying, pompous piece of egotistic crap I've ever read. I'm sure everyone here was blown away by your skills in the English language....

Fuck off and get stabbed.

Look asshole, forget the fact that not a single word within your response conveys the slightest shred of comprehension in regards to my post, but allow me to address instead your excessive and meaningless use of the word "elitist," which makes Bernard Goldberg's use of the word "conservative" appear like entertainment.

An elitist is defined as "A person who adheres to the belief that certain persons or members of certain classes or groups deserve favored treatment by virtue of their perceived superiority, as in intellect, social status, or financial resources." Great. So what correlation does that hold to your narrow perception of my personality? Absolutely none. In no way did I profess a certain bias towards the philosophy known as elitism, and yet you still insist on using the word an unbelievably frequent amount of times. Why then? Is it because you weren't familiar with the correct definition but used the word anyway to project an image of one whom actually has a fucking clue of the nonsense they're spewing? Somehow, I believe so. For some reason, I have a lingering suspicion that you simply read through my "self-glorifying, pretentious paragraph" without the faintest idea of what I was trying to express, and then, childishly irritated, you capitulated to your habitual instinct of furiously battering away at the keyboard in a pathetic attempt to arbitrarily insult me. Does this sound like you? If so, you're a fucking shitbag. And if this response was too wordy for you, consider returning to school and acquiring a GED.

It was from this very post that I recognized a structural pattern, if you will, of a typical "ChopstickInYourPeehole"(I feel like a fucking dolt just typing that) post. His usual posts are structured with key elements in the following manner (don't believe me? Ascertain for yourself):

1. Arbitrary gay-bash(interchangeable with vague homoerotic gesture).
2. Impertinent, half-witted insult.
3. Impish self-contradiction (often occurs in follow-up post).

Let's take into account for the first factor, his consistent reference to me and the entire board as "queers." Never before have I witnessed such an aimless use of the word, and I think I speak for a great number of people here when I state that it's nearly mind-numbing, in a partly-amusing, partly-I-want-to-blow-his-fucking-brains-out fashion. And let's not forget his initial post, claiming that the best cover-art is one depicting a woman sucking on a large penis with teeth(if you missed this, scroll up), hence the ambiguous, homoerotic gesture.

The second factor requires no explanation.

The third strikes me as intriguing, recalling him asserting that his use of a derogatory term(fag) is not meant to imply the actual connotation(homosexual), despite the fact that he's used the word clearly to slam a sexual orientation. This is held evident by the bizarre references to Rob Halford and homosexuality as assistance in proving his point, and his boorish assumption that I am a "leather-clad, spandex-wearing faggy Priest fan."

This subsequently led me to an even more eminent revelation. Are you ready for this? "ChopstickInYourPeehole" is gay! He's an insecure closet-fag! It makes perfect sense, and I would know considering how I've maintained close friendships with homosexuals in the past, and I've understood from experience that these oblique precursors never fail. Why else would he constantly label and bash people as queers and then furtively recant his remarks, shadowing them with euphemistic claims? Now I understand his mindless tendency to lash out at random board-members! It's so obvious, I can't believe I didn't realize it before. He's a sad, tortured soul! Nonetheless, the advice I offer him is to expose his true identity and get over it. Only by coming to solid terms with who we are can we truly be content. Cast away your hateful visage and remember that in the end, we'll still love you. ;)

Man, I disappear for about 5 months, and DiscipleofPlato is still as pretentious, self-involved, and moronic as ever.

Actually, I'm much, much worse. You really should've stayed away...

:wave: Heya Sonicarnal Artist, I was wondering where you went!! When you guys releasing the next Anal Gore Terror album??

Hahahaha oh God... :hypno: Well albums used to take a week or so to completely finish, but we've sort of slipped back into oblivion for awhile. The last shit we did was in December for another Christmas EP that was never finished. When you release intentionally horrible crap, it gets pretty draining...

I can see that. Whatever: It's just the damned internet, and it can get pretty old when you start being senselessly verbose over such trivial things. :Puke:

Indeed, it's almost as bad as being senselessly emphatic over a paltry band that intentionally releases indecent material. Oh wait...
 
Yeah, except I started the band so I have an excuse to be a fucking retard.

Yes, I am fully aware that you started the band. It isn't such an impressive accomplishment, really, get over yourself. And no, contrary to what you may have been taught, being the founding member of a band does not make you impervious to your own stupidity.
 
You telling me to get over myself? Now that's pretty damned amusing.

This sort of self-righteous, pseudo-intellectualism that seems to infest so many aspects of the metal community is a cancer. Simply put, referencing eleventh grade literature and eigth grade formal vocabulary in simple social situations is only impressive to special education students and white trash junkies. Espousing the principles and going through a thorough diatribe and analysis about the definition and application of the word in response to a random, childish insult isn't impressing anybody.

For example:

Yes, I am fully aware that you started the band. It isn't such an impressive accomplishment, really, get over yourself.

I was not the one who initiated the topic of conversation, I was merely responding to a question and then to a seemingly random and unnecessarily snobby provocation. Therefore, to reaffirm that you already knew that I was the founding member of such a stupid band is not only redundant, but makes it even more apparent that the only reason that you even bothered posting is to throw in a snide jab. Which, is really pathetic... it seems like your sole reason for posting at large is simply to provoke trivial arguments over inane things so you can blow it out of proportion in a failed attempt to elevate yourself. The suggestion to "get over myself" was totally misplaced and baseless.

And no, contrary to what you may have been taught, being the founding member of a band does not make you impervious to your own stupidity.

Now THIS was funny, because you attempted to make a tie between a widely assumed common-sensical truth and behavior that counters it, except, there was none. This is a trademark of the internet pseudo-intellectual: Overstate an assumed truth and masquerade it as pithy wit with a barb of criticism.

Let's really think about that statement: "Being the founding member of a band does not make you impervious to your own stupidity." How is this applicable in any way? Exactly, what is it supposed to mean? Perhaps I'm simply a intellectual inferior, but I really must be missing the point. What is the correlation between being the member of an unkown band and assumed indemnity from personal behavior? Or let's say that was a reference to and criticism of the "humor" of the band which you find (obviously) stupid... again, where does the need to be "immune" from behavior come into play here? More importantly, from where was this derived?
