BTW, that was an extremely annoying SHITpost. If you want to send people ecrypted messages why don't you try direct e-mail?

How is it, all you *would be* flame *specialists*, have to bring a sexual dimension into your shitpost.

Leaves me to wonder after racism, nonsense and shitposts…
1999 July 3, R. Fransway, “Re: About referring to AA/NA as a Cult”, in alt.recovery.na[4] (Usenet):
By not saying "no" to such incompetents, the newsgoup succumbs to an inordinate amount of shitposts, flamewars, and other types of associated narcissistic fallout.

That knucklehead just pissed me off, thirteen damn negative shitposts, so I felt obliged to step into Hell to smack an unrully[sic] demon (though I dont do it often).
2001 January 27, Eddie, “But this is better”, in alt.tv.simpsons[7] (Usenet):
Every time you see a "here's how to get rich" shitpost, put some cash in the bank. After 6 months, marvel at how much you've suddenly managed to save.....

I agree that he's also made loads of shitposts and trolling, but the difference between you and me is that I also recognize when he (or anyone else trolling for that matter) raises a valid point.

After reading paul Bik's shitpost tonight, I must say that I am truly, genuinely bored with "neo-bullshit artists" a/or chakkites.

[…] why don't you look somewhere else instead of polluting my newsreader with your godforsken shitpost?
2003 August 14, Khayman [username], “Re: I need exploit for RPC send me”, in alt.hacker[12] (Usenet):
Post one more shitpost here you miserable little worm and I will make sure that all possible companies hiring in Krakow will know that you are nothing but a little shitface trying to crack other people's computers.

Harry, I guess you're just a democrat queer, who is too lazy to do anything other than copy the same lame shitpost you tried the first time.

Why all teh scream, shrieking incomeopetnt[sic] net bullies attach themselves to ME I do not know, but I will not spend YEARS fighting YIU and teh 1001 stupid shits you cram in each shrieking shitpost you shit out.
2008 November 12, CHUCK_key, “Re: 145 days of Nostra”, in alt.music.judas-priest[17] (Usenet):
It'll make the newsgroups much easier to navigate when you don't see shitposts all over the place.

2002 July 26, Patrick Heinze, “Re: OT -- Posting”, in alt.games.half-life.counterstrike[18] (Usenet):
Maybe you should read the whole fucking thread before posting such crap! There are arguments against top or bottom posting...even if after reading the thread you decide to keep shitposting, you should not say its trivial!
2008 January 24, Two Beans [username], “So I'm sitting here at work with nothing to do...”, in alt.slack[19] (Usenet):
..and I'm just musing that you taxpayers in the United States are now paying me to shitpost on alt.slack.

I cannot wait until summer ends and you have to go back to middle school so you no longer have time to shitpost 50 times a day.
2011 August 3, eric gisse, “Re: Where is the Physics Behind Einstein's Second Postulate?”, in sci.physics.relativity[21] (Usenet):
Every time you ask him if he understands, the answer is 'no'. He's been not understanding relativity at an advanced level for the past decade, so there's no point in arguing with him. Just let him shitpost endlessly to an empty room.
