Woot... more Classic BBD!!! (excuse the pun)

I'm confused... it's suddenly cool for Apple fanbois to bitch about the brand's products (Classics, Leopard, etc) and flame those happy with theirs?

Still, LOL @ the "Discuss anything except Politics, Religion, or Personal Computing Platforms" tag on the O/T section.

It's like that for a good reason - I was around when they decided to ignore the rule temporarily and have a discussion on Vista, it was only ever-so-slightly more civilised than a circle-jerk of MS-bashing.

Exactly! And it seems to be about 1/2 a dozen members who are the ones starting threads about the same problems and bitching about the lack of FW updates, so it gets a wee bit irritating....

Yeah, he gets banned at regular intervals, then they let him come back and attack other iLounge members without provocation.

That's my point... you'd only ever see that tag on an Apple forum.

And if it's now cool for iPod owners to outright bitch about their DAPs, will we see a trickle down effect with other brands?

My money's with the Creative fanbois on ABi.

Probably only because on other fora you're unlikely to have enough people using anything but Windows to be able to have a full-blown flame war.

Step... I'm sad. The link to the "twunt" (which I'm assuming is a REALLY bad English/Scottish/Whatever name) doesn't work for me, since I'm not a member. I have NO intention of becoming one (no matter how much I want to be JUST LIKE BBD).

Can you give me a (clean) synopsis of what the guy's "on about" (see, I can speak British too!).

Twunt, as far as I know, was introduced to MR by the now sadly AWOL DemonicOmlette, a remarkable and singular wit.
I don't know whether he created the word himself or whether he merely picked it up elsewhere (more likely the latter) but it's meaning is identical to the two words it is a conglomeration of (both of which have the same meaning). I won't say what those two words are though as neither of them are particularly nice words - plus I'm sure you'll be able to work them out.
The word was more commonly used back when the good old profanity filter was in place.


The link I posted was to a profile of a member of iLounge, rather than a thread he had contributed to.

Basically, the guy in question is about the most petulant, immature and offensive individual I have ever run across on a forum.
From what I saw, 90%+ of all his posts were unprovoked personal attacks against other people, any one of which would get him banned from a well-run forum such as MR. However, because he is a long-standing member of iLounge, whilst repeatedly being banned, he was also repeatedly un-banned and most of the Mods seem just to ignore his behaviour, some even going so far as to describe him as funny.

Suffice to say, if he has been banned (again), that's a good thing but I don't doubt that he'll be allowed to return and continue his pathetic expulsion of insults against anyone he comes across who doesn't meet whatever random measure it is he uses.


Oh, and for the record, you speak 'British' very well

According to a couple of posters @ Urban Dictionary....

Well, mel...read on (language alert! ): http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=twunt

The word applies to lots of people @ ilounge and ABi....

Oh Jeez...now I'll have to wash my keyboard out with soap for typing that name. I can't believe that didn't occur to me!

And, Step, you do know that I was kidding about the "speaking British", right? It was actually an allusion to the whole "Help, I don't know what language they speak in London" thread! Really, I only speak American (that one's always cracked me up!).

Good night!

I actually had an English roomate for a year in college, and an English boyfriend in my late teen years, so I got up to date with a fair bit of British slang. Some of my favourites: "Isn't he horny?" (actually means he's sexy, not what you think), "I'm going to take a douche" (means going to take a shower! This one really got me laughing!).

OK, I'm off topic. Just thought I'd share!

I have to say, I've never heard of either of those words being used in such a manner.
That said, I live in Scotland, so things are liable to be different.
