I see far too many discussions on this forum that goes something like this:

Person A: I think X

Person B: You are a total moron, it is obvious that Y is the way to go. STFU N000b@!!!!!!

A: I think X is better under the stated conditions because <perfectly legitimate reason>, and I agree that Y is better under the conditions that you assumed.

B: Ha! Y is totally better, you don't have anything to do in software engineering, anyone who doesn't think like me is a total looser.

A: I was only trying to say that X is better under that condition above

B: Oh, now I see. That might be true, but you still formulated you scentence a little unclear, so I can still blame you for being stupid and claim that Y is better!!! X totally suck, n00b.

A: This is ridicilous

B: Nu-hu it's not. You said it that way, and besides I'm way better than you, besides you said <totally unrelated thing> in <totally unrelated thread>.

A: Ok, but how about confessing that X is better in this case!

B: I especially remember when you said <other totally unrelated thing> in <other totally unrelated situation>. Man you are stupid. And besides, you also think that X works, which is stupid! I tried it at least twice, and I know that Y is better without trying X because I know you don't know anything N00b! Get lost, get a job! Haha

WTF??

 

You forgot:

C: The real WTF is the forum software

D: The real solution is to use SSDS

E: Where's the wooden table?

F: What's up with the tag cloud?

Welcome to the internet. PennyArcade has summed this up nicely before: 

Edit: Another factor is the "not invented here" / "my way is better" syndrome that all techies seem to suffer from.  

 Yea, well, one of the reasons for this might be the fact that noone want's to feel the humiliation of being wrong on the intranets!

 

Meh, whatever.

This is obviously incorrect, you cockmonger.  Did you even read the OP before replying or could you not just wait to throw your 0.02 cents in?  Yeah, that's right, you have 1/100th of the cents of other people.  People like you make me so physically sick I puke blood all over the tile floor before losing consciousness.  The only contact I've ever had with you has been your post and I already know that your entire life is a strong argument for making stupidity and ugliness punishable by death.

 

Choke on a bucket of testicles. 

These types of "discussions" have been taking place in every forum since the beginning of the interweb.  Complaining about it is TRWTF.

You don't have to quote the entire original post, we all know what you are referring to.  Also, your response should go after any quoted text.  Welcome to TDWTF forums.

That was intentional.  Did you read the next sentence?  Verizon mail fail math, but you fail funny.

That I did. The term for what I did there is "joke". My sincere apologies if it didn't meet your standards.

My apologies, I thought jokes were supposed to be funny. 

Good job, OP.  It looks like you were practically able to prove your theory in your own thread - without even trying! :O

Morbii:

Obviously a thread like this would attract joke posts like mine.  However, now that you're here the OP has been vindicated!  Did you bring Lysis, Ted, Russ and Jim with you? 

in this case -as in many others- the thread went:

A: this is the topic
B: [quote A] something to say
C: this people thought on it too, kind of
D: random comment
E: [quote D] STFU
F: [quote A] something to say
E: [quote F] greetings noob
G: [quote E] tag message
E: gone offtopic
G: gone offtopic
E: gone offtopic
G: gone offtopic
H: something ontopic
ME: something that will go ignored

now, usually the thread keeps going offtopic after my post, but whatever.-

Keeps going?  You have about as much trouble staying on-track as a commuter train in Madrid!

I didn't say I wouldn't influence the on/off topickery of the trhead, just that whatever I say would most likely be ignored.

Tho if someone does catch my post, then well, it'll most likely be an offtopic reply. 

This is pretty cool on a meta- level.  A thread about internet arguments that turned into a flamewar.  Just my .2 sense.

You forgot several things: 1. Poster Y 2. Poster Z tells poster Y not to quote entire OP as we've already read it 3. Poster K tells poster Z to STFU with "MasterAsshatPlan got owned!" tag 4. Entire discussion denigrates into derogatory remarks about poster K.

Well, you could have been more clear on that.  At the semantic level, your statement is unparseable and evaluates to null.

Really, I think the media is skewed towards supporting Barack Obama because they feel guilty about their role in slavery.  Honestly, what this country needs is a strong leader like Josef Stalin or Superman to lead us.

Yeah, you would think it was cool, but that's because you're just another troll.  gb2 Trollville, Professor Trollington K. von Trollovich.

You know, quoting the OP is silly but not quoting another post makes it hard to tell who you are responding to.

 

Oh, and MasterAsshatPlan got owned!

No, you're the Troll. Trolly McTrolltroll.  Haha.  Nobody could top a comeback like that one!
