Why is the world conspiring in such a way as to force me to say "shut the fuck up" so many times in one week?

WHY?

If you want to make a film so badly, just do a nice little animation with clay. Maybe about a pair of toenail clippers that attacks anyone who tries to use them. But leave HoL the fuck alone. S'all.

Do you mean by making a movie or by ruining an amazing book?

why would you want to make a movie anyway? i mean seriously? what would the point be? youd get to play with cool visual effects, and thats about it.

[Ephermeris]

Personally, I think the mere thought of perverting this wonderfully created book with an ENTIRE film would be grotesque. It would deprive you of all the questions, and rip the carefully constructed house from your imagination, not to mention there is always the factor that you might not like the ONE person's veiw on how the house and all that it affected reflected in their mind. Best to leave it to your own mind.

Fatwoul, you must totally be reading my mind... cuz I was thinking the exact same thing... only with a differing semantic thing... cuz I mean... these posts you right are well... like... oh my gawd... so totally worse than anything that... like... any noob could write,
Since telling noobs to shut the fuck up or check ze search function or whatever the hell it is you do is essentially the least impressive use of your logistical logical abilities that I have seen to date.
It's petty, overused, nobody gives a shit
now go rip a page out of your house of leaves book, give yourself a whole crap load of papercuts, and just bleed out on us already, ok? Everybody is sick of this stupid crap you keep spewing.

They are? Funny, because I only hear you saying anything.

Maybe the problem is that I would take a criticism like that far more seriously, should it have come from someone not equally guilty of the same crime:

C) If you are not his friend, then you have no right to give him nicknames
D) If you're giving someone you don't know who is not your friend nicknames, you look like a presumptiuous prick...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

If everyone is sick of the stupid crap I keep spewing, then you'd better stop spewing it. images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

Now pipe the fuck down, hypocrite.

That's odd. Looking back at the front page of this thread, it really does look more like you were just being a smartass.

And perhaps you want to direct a little of your motherly advice to the person throwing the hissy fit, not me.

"Everybody?" Well that's a bit of a drastic generalisation... Who are you to decide on other people's opinions?

Nope.
In fact, I just started to understand/agree with it all.

[Admiral_Shanks]

Na man... n00b (how brilliant) I may be, but this 'Shut the fk up' crap is getting so tiresome. Yeah, I realise I open myself up to as MANY clever, thought out insults as you can imagin, using as many big words as you can find to appear quite inteligent (I accept, my terrible spelling doesn't really do me credit in times such as these...) But for FECKS SAKE! Again, I accept that you have all had these chats before, but some of us haven't. I loved THIS BOOK. So much so that I want to see all the ways it could be shared with the world. Fuck. Whats the point? You'll just reply to this with some crap and move on to the next person to you dont agree with.x

[John B.]

We have discussed this very issue before . . . (http://www.houseofleaves.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002062&p=)

It would seem you "get it" just as well as burntshadow. Repeatedly uttering "shut the fuck up", in echo to the repetitive threads it is uttered in was supposed to be tiresome. Guess it worked. Point made. Shame you didn't actually notice that you got it though...

Not quite the caustic response you had your fingers crossed for, eh? You'd be surprised how many n00bs have attacked me in the past simply to get bitten back. I think they wanted to feel a part of things.

[Admiral_Shanks]

Well, as I said... I expected a response!! Though, I shall give credit where credits due... that post confused the Fek out of me images/smiles/icon_smile.gif So in a way, yes, I guess you point made it through images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Admiral_Shanks]

But an, you GOT to top thinking not being a n0000b is cool.... that just seems lame images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

You see, its things like that which serve to illustrate how ignorant you are.

By definition, a n00b is an abrasive, arrogant, irritating new member who shows disregard for existing members of the forum by flooding it with repetitive threads born purely out of a reluctance to search the archive properly.

A newbie, by contrast, is a considerate new visitor, making efforts to settle in and read the forum, or at the very least making efforts not to piss off the people who are already here.

You are a n00b, and by that definition uncool. WhenNothingWas is a newbie, and hence more cool.

Please try to learn these things a little more quickly; your natural pace seems somewhat geological - by the time you figure it out for yourself, the forum (nay! the World!) will have come to an end.

[Admiral_Shanks]

hahaha! Another good response. I take my hat off to you. I dont know what else to say! Perhaps I shall have to work on being a newbie... images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
