Long, rambling, and almost-but-not-quite interesting post about an oddly confusing possible game rule. Clearly provocative in a general manner, such that it will prompt response from someone non-specific, while seeming to be directly attacking particular individuals.

Emphatic agreement, failed attempts to make the topic interesting and relevant. Clearly a bump.

A post full of ad hominem, strawmen, and pretty much every other logical fallacy one can make.

Picking apart the fallacies1, oblivious that it's been done between 2-7 times already because only the first two pages2, then every other page, then the first post of every other page were read. Quotes the next quote as source material3

Almost sincere response to original post without reading most of thread.

then proceeds to apply wiki style links4 to reinforce the previous argument.

Monty Python quote for no apparent reason.

Acidic comment regarding this quote's lack of relevance. Link to pertinent XKCD strip.

Bobcat related statistic indicating how many of them care about this quote.

Heavy flame for threadnecromancing.

Also: since you are a necromancer your argument is now deemed invalid.

Calling for banhammer on previous poster.

Clear poking of the bear. Goes back to previous links & replaces most of them with rick rolls before submitting.

Expression of astonishment at actual bot!!!! (using incorrectly placed punctuation and questionable use of emoticons )
Expression of incredulity at threads extreme recent lack of croakamancy. Utterly failed attempt to revive original topic.

Expression of interest in original topic, along with a suggestion that it be moved to a new thread, as this one is currently in the next country over from the rails.

(Slight tangent: I find it an amusing coincidence that the typical bot-speak error of

And when people are manufactured destitute

is actually semi-relevant to Erfworld, as units basically are manufactured.)
