You are the most despicable and unlikeable human being on this entire forum
Nah, that's not true.
We used to have a bloke here that was a lot worse.
His screenname was Dethtoll or something (can't remember how he spelled it). He was terrible.
He was a prime example of male passive-aggressive testosterone-filled mentally messed up person.
He was the reason that I skipped coming here for years.
Luckily he's gone.

A very strange person to say anyone else is the most despicable human being on the forum.
Hey, I'm not the one constantly wallowing in misantrophy and expressing some sort of happiness/gratitude (he won't be missed, about time that dinosaur hit the tar pit) over the death of a beloved actor because he was "misogynist" or whatever. Every post of june gloom's exudes pettiness and misery.
There's a reason I usually stick to the Fan Mission subforums, where more wholesome things are discussed (like Thief fan missions and productive creativity).

The forum's resident literal Nazi. In his own words.
Wait, why do we
have one of those? Is it like the internet forums equivalent of hoarding or something?

Talking of passive-aggressive...

Apparently the words "Taking the Death Toll" flew over Gryzemuis's head like a 747.
But it's true that person you speak of is gone now. Don't say people can't change that fundamentally.
As for Sean Connery ... I posted what I thought were some iconic characters or scenes of his, but it's impossible to miss that almost all of them had or hinted at something rotten at their core. But then again he was also impossibly charismatic and he's the kind of person, if they were your mentor for a training montage, it'd be so easy for him to generate a lot of affection and loyalty on a human level, even when you're recognizing he has a side of him that can't be tolerated, like, in the later years, a grandfather you admire & love whom you wish didn't have this side to him, much less to be famous & virtually embodying what that side stood for, all the same, at least the parts that diminished others. You want to keep the parts that seem to lift others.

Very true.
I understand what "death toll" means. I looked it up in the dictonairy even.
However, I have no idea about the subtext of expressions in which those words are used.
And I've not been able to find those with a quick google.
My apologies for not being a native english-speaker.

OK, I admit I wrote those words to kick someone in the shins.
However, I am not even sure who or why I am kicking.
Am I correct to assume that June Gloom is in fact the same person as Dethtoll ? And that she/he has changed gender ?
If not, why is there the text: "Taking the Death Toll" ?
Is there meaning to the fact that Dethtoll spelled his name different from "Death Toll" ?
My apologies about all the obvious things I've missed. I'm probably the only one here.
But it is true that Dethtoll has irritated the fuck out of me in the past.
Ignoring posters only helps to a certain degree.
I've been on the net since the eighties (daily Usenet reader/poster since 1989).
And I had never seen someone as blunt and unpleasant as Dethtoll.
