Au courant reference to furries, BBW, polyamory, hentai, BDSM, ana and mia, slash fiction, pedophilia, pumps, Viagra abuse, water sports, autofellatio, self-amputees, scatophilia, or some other thankfully marginal erotic subculture, with no allusion to the fact that it's patently gross, because that would seem dreadfully unhip.

A mighty verbose comment regarding the history of texts of this nature, followed by several links to generic, online texts.

Derail into ad hominem attack on current administration.

Course correcting statement to compensate for derail.

Some time ago this user observed application of generic statements under ideal conditions. Said observation led to a great deal of emotion. Due to these emotions, many people interacted. This incident was exciting!

Statement of opinion as fact.

Complex, multi-paragraph statement of thesis (relying on evidence which previous posters in the thread have definitively proven false,) posted in apparent ignorance of all prior discussion on the topic.

Quote pulled from a comment which was posted six hours ago, excerpted out of context to place the original idea in the worst possible light.

Straw-man response to mischaracterization of earlier argument.

continuation of quote from same previous comment, containing inconsequential speling error

Rebuttal of comment, relying on restatement of opinion as fact. Suggestion that earlier commenter's inability to spell implies ignorance of the topic at hand.

Quote from a completely different comment upthread, posted by another user

Rebuttal of comment which fails to differentiate between the two users quoted, which begins with the phrase "with all due respect," and which is phrased in such a way as to convey an absolute lack of respect.

Stray sentence fragment apparently missed during preview of

Multi-paragraph, expletive-laden restatement of original thesis. Link to vaguely related news story written by an obviously biased news source. Citation of hastily-googled survey statistics in support of thesis. Link to White House press gaggle transcript.

Assertion that all those who disagree with thesis are trolling.

Demand that all readers immediately contact their congressperson in support of thesis. Assertion that right-thinking Americans will take to the streets regarding the issue, any day now. Use of bold type to emphasize restatement of opinion as fact. Statement of intention to stockpile food and/or purchase firearm.

Humorous aside in small type.

Looking for a girl named Sue. Met her at a Dead show in 1982. I think it was in Chicago. May have been in Portland though. Memory is a little fuzzy. She had long blondish hair. Went by the nickname Lil Dancing Bearbie. She said she was from California. If anyone knows her whereabouts contact me asap.
