Unfortunately you still are and always will be a loser.

Oh, boy, Anonymous mods. How I love that system! I mean, there's utterly no way it can be abused, and there's no reason that someone would need to confront his accuser face to face.
I think everything should be anonymous. Wouldn't the world be a happy place then, with no personal responsibility? Yay!

You wanna call me a loser, do it to my face. Or, at least do it in a username which I can directly respond to. Or, even better, be more mature and think before you speak.
There's a difference between acting like a dolt in a thread that's so funny it's, DARE I SAY IT, OFF TOPIC, and being a dolt by resulting to name-calling.
Sadly you include sarcasm in your reply, yet you fail to catch on to a sarcastic remark made in your direction.

Must you kill my laughter high with your mistake? Sadly, your remark was not sarcastic.
Allow me to enlighten you.
Sarcasm
[*]A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
[*]A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
Was your remark ironic? Certainly not. That rules out definition one.
Was it witty? To some, perhaps. Was it inteded to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule? Certainly. But it was not "marked by the use of sarcastic language." In order for it to have been that, you would have had to have used irony.
Sarcasm cannot exist without irony. I don't think I need to lecture you on the proper use of irony, but the point is, no interpretation of your remark could possibly conclude that it possessed any iota of irony.
As such, your remark could not have been sarcastic, and you are therefore wrong, ERGO:
A WINNAR IS M3H!
Moderate that.
