MMA Pretenderism: A Definitive Study

[Shuma-Gorath]

Seems like Aesopian and Shuma understand now what I was bitching about in the MMA glove thread.

Correct. I regret not flaming some of the voters myself.

Writing's a little chunky.

I'm a computer science student and Aeso is a web design guy. It's been a couple years since I wrote something this high-brow. Keep in mind this paper grew out of us exchanging links to threads and expletives over MSN.

How about adding the sources of the quotes following PizDoff's regarding the "shin surf?" And for the sake of clarity, why don't you mention PizDoff in the paper when you're quoting him? I say this merely because you don't hesitate to name Elmore, Blade, and the like, but why not Piz? Sure, we have the link in the footnote, but for the sake of consistency. It seems sneaky otherwise.

We didn't name the Sherdoggers either, but we also did not "name" Phil or Perkins to give ourselves a bit of legal breathing room. Piz's shin surf post was the only one we gave a reference to.

I have other ways to get my point across in this case.

This article inspired me to go back and read some of my posts...

I realize I might have been exhibiting some of this behavior, sorry everybody.

Because my post was a joke, and all intelligent people can see it as such if they go look at the appropiate thread.


Edit: No time to read, will finish soon. Yes.

So you were playing off a joke you made in another thread regarding "shin surfing"? Link?

Shum this is good work, very well done.

Thanks! Proper footnoting is what differentiates us from right-wing politicial hacks.

I am so glad you still think of me…I am getting misty…

[Shuma-Gorath]

Shum this is good work, very well done.

Aeso came up with the research question and did a lot of very productive editing. Be sure to rep him too.

[Olorin]

Well the dam website says I can not rep you, I have to spread more around, But I will seek out Aeso and give him a little loving…

[deus ex machina]

I approve, you guys make me proud.
