Yes, I have had the misfortune of coming across this cretin on the NRL forum.
Yes, I have had the misfortune of coming across this cretin on the NRL forum.
He is still yet to respond after I learned that he works night-fill at Coles, and told him that I am nearing completion of my double degree in law and commerce.
Apparently his only reaction is to call me the "dumbest, stupidest St Merge fan of them all" (he still fails to see the irony in calling some the "dumbest, stupidest" but I gave up on him a long time ago) - either he holds us all in incredibly high regard and thinks that students at law are the least intelligent fans of the club, or he doesn't understand the concept of university, and why people go there to study.
I'm not altogether sure which one it is, but either way his life is funny to laugh at - just another failure in this unforgiving, capitalist society: crocodile tears from us all, I'm sure.
Don't say anything about the Raiders, though - he takes it as a personal affront, and will then try to spend two weeks arguing with you about why Justin Carney is better and more important than Brett Morris, and likewise Alan Tongue versus Jeremy Smith. For any other club, insert your incumbent Australian and New Zealand reps and stack them up against some Canberra nuffies. Using this approach, as Raiders_Premiers does, you come to the conclusion that Glen Buttriss is in fact more important to Canberra's team structure and is more valuable than Cameron Smith is to Melbourne, or that Josh Miller > Petero Civoniceva, or that Trevor Thurling > Sam Thaiday.
The funniest incident I can remember, though, is late one night he thought he would try and act smart by attempting to point out a grammatical flaw in one of my posts. Upon pointing out how I had shown myself, once again, to be the "dumbest, stupidest" bloke around, I wrote back to him explaining why my grammar was in fact correct, and why his attempted insult was tautologous. He didn't know what 'tautology' meant, so he ran off to the Canberra sub-forum and posted there for another 20 minutes. Upon then realising that he had been embarrassed into hiding, I went back to my Intellectual Property paper, chuckling at the sheer nerve of a near-dole bludging, dope-smoking Canberra resident to try and call out a law student for improper grammar, especially considering my Year 12 High School jersey read "Grammar Nazi" on the back :lol:
But no, I wish him much success, and the best of luck - without it, he may be crushed by a crate of baked beans at his Night Fill shift tomorrow. And we certainly wouldn't want the torturous existence that is his life cut short in any way, shape or form.
I love you, Raiders_Premiers
