Damn Mung do you have any sort of a life? You must make 50 posts a day here, every day.
I can’t get over how much design detection is going on over at UD these days. It’s like a production line. Well done boys, you’ve cracked it.
The quotations from scripture just add to the scientific credibility.
I’ve not been to Untelligent Reasoning recently. Can someone tell me how the comment count is going?
Here is a random selection from Joke’s most recent OP.:

OK, parrot mode is still in operation.
I’m pretty sure that a certain participant is an extreme case of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. He’s no doubt suffered considerably, and I know that I should respond with compassion. But, as some of you know, he is one mother fucking prick.
Anyone have words of encouragement to share?
I’ve wondered, in the past, about the possibility of Asperger’s.
Mirrors seem to be scarce in certain precincts of the Internet.
Perhaps this will do in the meantime.
Well, his mother probably loved him.
keiths:
You’re hilarious. And ignorant. I bet the two are related.
Software that I have written saves people in my company untold hours. They are used on a daily basis. I neither seek nor need your approval. I’ve written software that you couldn’t even begin to understand.
Kantian Naturalist, and now Tom English. But it’s no reflection on keiths at all. After all, there are no mirrors on the internet!
I came oh so close to putting keiths on Ignore when he made false claims about my Ruby program and refused to admit he was wrong. But finally he did admit he was wrong, even though he was utterly vague about just what it was he was wrong about.
What a dick. I wonder how many people will have to put him on Ignore before he gets it. Or, people only put keiths on Ignore because they can’t handle the truth. Sure. That must be it.

Mung,
I notice that you didn’t link to the comment of mine that you’re quoting. Why is that?
(Rhetorical question. Anyone who reads it will know exactly why.)
Regarding KN’s and Tom’s decisions to put me on ignore, I’m happy to let readers judge for themselves:
KN – Starting here.
Tom: Starting here.
You’d make a great straight-man, Mung.
That is a classic Mungism.
Woodbine,
Fnurk!
Have you considered adding comments?
Lulz!
Just to pile on, and I’m going to try the nice version:
Don’t be like Davescott or JoeG. No one here is living on past glories, imaginary or otherwise.
Rich, to Mung:
Well, except for Tom:
He can still hear the sound of those keyboards clattering away, all these years later.
I wrote something quite brilliant in the autumn. Don’t like to talk about it. I’m no hero, just one of the grunts trying to make the world a better place through coding excellence.
Since’s Frankie was “temporarily” banned, I notice someone named “Joe G” frequenting Larry Moran’s blog. I wonder why.

For some reason, I just started thinking of cupcakes….
How dare you presume to speak for me.
That’s what tests are for. In my current project I’m running over 1500 tests.
Rich, to Mung::
Acartia:
Heh. Maybe we should start a “past glories” thread.
I’ve no idea what you’re talking about. I’m in the process right now of developing a new web application that will save hundreds of hours per year by automating some things that are currently being done manually. And that doesn’t even take into account the mistakes that will be avoided due to human error.
Oh, and software development isn’t even my full time job. It’s not even in my job description at all. Yet they come to me. Go figure. Must be they just can’t find anyone else incompetent enough to take it on. 🙂

Mung:
And with that, the last remaining drop of Mung’s software cred evaporates.
Mung:
Oh, man, that’s a keeper.
Speak for yourself.
Yeah. My best stuff was for the NSA. I could tell you about it, but then I’d have to…
(I actually did have a computer-scientist buddy who went to work for the NSA, right out of grad school. He came back to town, having been out of the country for a couple months, with gifts of coffee for everyone. I brewed a pot, and when another pal of mine took a sip, he immediately said, “U-m-mm, Guatemalan!” I’ve never seen another man blush the way my NSA buddy did. It’s been more than 30 years, and I still have the clearest recollection of the look on that guy’s face. Eventually he managed to blurt out, “I can neither confirm nor deny.” As it happens, he specialized in communication systems, and when the U.S. invaded Panama, I heard on the news that the military was using networks in — you guessed it — Guatemala.)
#JustSayIgnore
Oops. I thought he said future glories. I have no past glories to live on.
I imagine that my future glories will be greater than my past (which is a silly thing for me to imagine, having reached 60).
[I am still capable of learning, and having learned that the greatest defect of keiths-bot is in recognizing humor…]
LOL.
Hunh. I’ve got that down at five or six.
Tom,
Are you so embarrassed by this earnest statement that you’re trying to recast it as an attempt at humor?
keiths,
You really are unable to laugh with people, rather than at them. 🙁
Alan,
It’s hard to laugh with Tom when he’s not laughing.
keiths,
You can’t tell. That is my point. 🙂
Follow my link, Alan. I’ll bet that even you can figure out that Tom wasn’t joking, though you’re likely to deny it, of course.
No-one is buying your “hot night with twin sisters in Helsinki” story, Tom. 😛
keiths,
I was making a general comment. My impression is that you can’t laugh with people but find it very easy to laugh at them.
Alan,
Given your generally poor judgment, it’s not surprising that you would get that false impression. Remember when you accused me of never admitting my mistakes? Or of quote-mining Ernst Mayr?
Rich:
They were triplets.
keiths,
It’s an example of you laughing at people. A few examples of you laughing with people?
Alan,
The fact that you woke up with a hard-on is no reason for me to run around collecting evidence for you.
Why not take a cold shower, go back to bed, and give the day a new start?
Why not do both?

OK, you caught me out on that one. It was a two-for-one special in Bangkok.
I was referring to its greatest defect in simulating a human, not the greatest defect of the simulated human.
Sure. On the other hand, if you intend to persuade someone on a point of disagreement, mocking them is likely to prove counter-productive. This has long been my issue with Keiths’ posting style.
