AARGGHH!! I'm getting really pissed off with some people that I'm having a conversation with (over internet, of course).
First, me and an other guy talked a little about how we could send a probe to another solar system. We came to talk about the solar sail probe and then we somehow got to talk about power plants and I thougt that one of the most environment friendly power sources must be having giant satellites orbiting the Earth and sending down energy in the form of microwaves (you know, like those power plants in SimCity 3K). Then I suggested that having satellites closer to the sun would give them a higher energy output.
And it was when i had written that, a major asshole shows his ugly face and totally yells me out for having such a silly idea (I had by mistake written that we could place the satellite 50 thousand miles from the sun, when I meant 50 million miles). When I said that I meant 50 MILLION, he showed me some strange equation on how close you could get to the sun without melting. With that equation, it would be some million degrees hot a thousand miles from the suns surface. Then I tell him again that I meant 50 million but he ignored that and whent on with his equation and all of a sudden he said that I thought the US was cowards for not sending up my satellite. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT???!!! WHEN THE HELL DID I WRITE THAT?! After this he thought that I had to defend that belief too, even though I told him that he had made that one up in his sick little brain. AARRGGHH!!! Toworrow, I will write my final reply and then utterly crush him with a reply so great, that it will throw him of his chair with a force so great that it will crush him against the wall *KA-SPLASH*
There. Now it all feels much better. Thank you stardestroyer.net for letting me share this with all of you.
Dooey out.

I'll share it sometime, but not right now. Let's just say it involves the Straight Dope MB, and a guy trying to prove the Moon landing was faked by sending satelites out to the moon to photograph giant constructions on the surface, but also threw in alien buildings, shuttles, and having no fucking clue how to analyze photographs or the physics involved in photography (not to mention using Nth generation JPEGs off the web as his sources).

They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Okay, give me a damn minute. I'm looking for it.
EDIT: Hmm... This might take a while, folks. Looks like the hampster over at the SDMB keeps falling asleep in the wheel.

Found it.
Gentlemen and Ma'am, I now present to you the Most Insane Thing I Have Seen in My Entire Life.
http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/sho ... adid=82431
A bit of warning: the thread is 10 50-post pages long, and on a finicky server. But it's worth every hour it takes to read.
