Argument that the attempt at humor was technically slightly relevant in one possible, but unlikely, interpretation of the topic, based on only reading the first three posts.

Argue that statistics are the third form of lies, so not being statistically relevant only makes a point stronger.

Replying only to the OP and ignoring the rest

Edited to make it look like the whole thread was read, and that this was just reiterating what others have said

Counter by arguing that this post (and the quoted one) do in fact exist, but do not really mater, except for the purpose of intentionally interrupting the serious discussion of the topic at hand, with something that has not yet been mentioned about the topic appended to it to avoid being completely off topic.

A quotation of matt96's entire post followed by a single unexplained question mark.

by **orangedragonfire** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 2:04 am UTC

A quotation of Snark's entire post, with an added short note at the end that you shouldn't copy entire posts just to write short comments at the end.

Incoherent, mildly argumentative rambling.

Brings up Justin Bieber to say that it's ridiculous to bring up Justin Bieber in a conversation like this.

by **matt96** » Sat Mar 17, 2012 9:00 pm UTC

posts a rage-filled reply about how Justin Beiber is the worst "Musician" ever, followed by apologizing to people who like his music, saying that I am sorry that they don't know what good music is, with another tiny new piece of information on the topic appended to this post, again.

Weak attempt to return to the original topic. Derails into criticism of trolling.

Apologizes for trolling in a very large post written in a sarcastic tone, with a thing half as long about the original topic "spoilered for length"

Wonders who it is in JSO's avatar.. That seems like human contact to me.

Reminds everyone of their nonexistence. States that NO ONE has had any real human contact due to the nonexistence of humans.
