Flameouts? Some of us in IRC were discussing what constitutes a flameout. I submit this MetaTalk thread.

Yeah, that comment's a classic. Will live in infamy forever.

MetaFilter: a miniscule minority of 20 something self-absorbed, potsmoking, divorce victim lackies.

Just remember to keep it civil everyone. I really, really, don't want to have to invite that guy over here. Cheers.

He didn’t mean science. He meant uh -- pie pants!

My dear Professor Strowski: 20 years I was banned from my homeland, parted from my wife and son never to see them again. Why? Because I suggested to use the atomic elements for producing super-beings, beings of unimaginable strength and size. I was classed as a madman, a charlatan, outlawed in the world of science which had previously honoured me as a genius. Now here in this forsaken jungle hell I have proved that I am alright. No, Professor Strowski, it is no laughing matter! Home? I have no home. Hunted! Despised! Living like an animal. The jungle is my home. Then I will show the world I can be its master. I will perfect my own race of people, a race of atomic supermen which will conquer the world.

Heh, nice quote Smart Dalek. Bride of the Monster, one of the finest terrible movies ever made.

I love how people flaming out keep saying "Later" or "This is my last post" but then keep posting.

Matt should banninate anyone who says it's cool to delete their accounts.

dodgy, sveskemus said to tell you to delete his account.

I miss all the fun. I must admit, though, that it is hard to tell who is the bigger fuckwit, anonymous or DirtyCreature. Actually, if it still existed, I would have thought that question may have been concocted in #mefi. I smell a rat.
