10. LOVE the HAL avatar...
That's HAL's pod bay eye, if I'm not mistaken, judging by the reflections.

6. I was tempted to vote for "hurled feces"
But I don't really see what good it does in a message board war - other than obscuring your own screen so you can't see what your adversary has said. Or making the keys on your keyboard stick.

Not that I'd know anything about that....

8. Freedom ...

"Dude, They're not using the internet to express their
freedom of speech. They're using the internet to express
their freedom from being punched in the mouth."

definately acidic wit.
Grammar, no way, usually when someone attacks your grammar or spelling, it means they have nothing left.

Facts, those are great but cognitive disonance is a bugbear on the internet.

Anything that makes you seem mad doesn't work, and anything that seems like you don't care is equally as bad in my opinion.

Good acidic sarcastic wit is great I think.

13. Unassailable self-deprecation
There is no response to "Robb is a Dingbat".

It's a total smackdown... no way to come back from that. :silly:

it isn't working tonight. Maybe it never does. Maybe nothing works.
