This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post

This is intended to serve as therapy for anyone here who is going through incendiary blog post withdrawal.

This typical incendiary blog post has been modified from the full version at http://coyot.es/x3T

********

This is the title of a typical incendiary blog post

This sentence contains a provocative statement that attracts the readers’ attention, but really only has very little to do with the topic of the blog post. This sentence claims to follow logically from the first sentence, though the connection is actually rather tenuous. This sentence claims that very few people are willing to admit the obvious inference of the last two sentences, with an implication that the reader is not one of those very few people. This sentence expresses the unwillingness of the writer to be silenced despite going against the popular wisdom.

This sentence claims that there are many people who do not agree with the thesis of the blog post as expressed in the title. This sentence speculates as to the mental and ethical character of the people mentioned in the previous sentence. This sentence contains a link to the most egregiously ill-argued, intemperate, hateful and ridiculous example of such people the author could find. This sentence is a three-word refutation of the post linked in the previous sentence, the first of which three words is “Um.” This sentence implies that the linked post is in fact typical of those who disagree with the thesis of the blog post. This sentence contains expressions of outrage and disbelief largely expressed in Internet acronyms. This sentence contains a link to an Internet video featuring a cat playing a piano.

This sentence implies that everyone reading has certainly seen the folly of those who disagree with the thesis of the blog post. This sentence reminds the reader that there are a few others who agree. This sentence contains one-word links to other blogs with whom the author seeks to curry favor, offered as examples of those others.

Star-divide

This sentence contains an apparent non-sequitur phrased as if it follows logically from the thesis of the blog post. This sentence is a wildly overgeneralized condemnation of one or more entire classes of people phrased in as incendiary a fashion as possible which claims to be an obvious corollary to the thesis and non-sequitur.

This sentence proposes that anyone who might disagree with the wildly overgeneralized condemnation is, by so disagreeing, actually proving the author’s point. This sentence explains that such people disagree primarily because of the author’s courageous and iconoclastic approach. This sentence mentions the additional possibilities that readers who express disagreement with the wildly overgeneralized condemnation are merely following the current fashion or trying to ingratiate themselves with particular groups. This sentence is a somewhat-related assertion based in thoughtless privilege and stated as dispassionate objective truth. This sentence explains that if the scales would merely fall from those dissenting readers’ eyes, they would see the wisdom and necessity of the author’s statements.

This sentence invites readers to respond freely and without constraint as long as those responses fall within certain parameters. This sentence consists of an Internet in-joke that doesn’t quite fit the topic.

[This parenthetical sentence was appended some time after posting as an expression of gratitude for the post’s many visitors, an ad hominem reprimand of those consistently critical of the post, and an apology that the behavior of these individuals has prompted the owner’s closing of comments, at least for the time being.]

This subject is a lead in to an angry rebuttal to the author's post

This comment is indeed an angry rebuttal to the author’s post. This sentence is a call for said author to be removed from his position of authority on this blog. This sentence is an extremely offensive and personal attack on author’s wife/mother/childhood pet meant to incite anger.

This is a comment from the local grammar and spelling troll...

… sarcastically taking a single point error and implying multiple derogatory things about the author’s life, the species of his ancestors, which side of the single/double digit I.Q. border he lands on, and his lack of physical relations which leads to his subsequent compensatory execution of solo pleasure while dreaming of a female relative/neighbor/actress/pet. This comment goes on to question why the author was ever selected to write for this publication to begin with and goes on to make multiple unsupported ad-homs stating that if it weren’t for the low standards of the publication (which this local grammar and spelling troll for some odd reason visits quite frequently) then the writer wold be out on the streets panhandling on some street corner with a badly stained, horridly misspelled and grammatically incorrect cardboard sign. This troll ends the statement with a reference to a favorite pet, room full of chimpanzees, or inanimate object who the troll insists can do a “way better” job.

And ironically, the grammar and spelling troll does no spell- or grammar- check on his own post, thereby adding a meta-level of hilarity to his response.

This subject is condescending to all comments under this posting

this sentence explains to everyone how this is his opinion and if you don’t like it don’t read it. This sentence agrees wholeheartedly with what OP stated. This sentence again is condescending to those who disagree with OP. This sentence calls everyone who disagrees a derogatory yet sophisticated term to imply both my intelligence and your lack there of. This sentence tells OP to keep up the good work. This sentence is an attempt to get on OP’s good side to have a shot at being able to post similar inflammatory remarks against the team I supposedly root for on the front page.

This post backpedals furiously from personal vituperative attacks.

Or at least it seems to. Actually the next sentence insinuates that the posters who caused the vituperative attacks are dysfunctional adults living with parents and subsisting on childish food and entertainments.

The next sentence shifts tactics and suggests that everyone is taking the whole thing too seriously and to get a life. The next sentence suggests that the author has a life, one full of extreme sexual fulfillment which he will resume enjoying immediately after posting reply.

All true fans to come join the rest of us true believers on the forums of one of our chief rivals. It explains that you will find nothing but good honest on topic talk, without any of the rhetoric or incendiary titles you have come to hate.

This paragraph explains that while it is odd to hang out on another fan groups forums, they are quite gracious hosts.

This post

makes the point that these threads have gotten so predictable, that a generic post, could be pre programed into a computer, to allow for future threads to be completely auto generated, just by adding a few key words and names, and future more this seems like it has been done before, maybe by the industry that produces romance novels.

This sentence makes false claims and insinuates the author has special access to insider information and you should pay attention to how special he is.

This sentence waxes philosophically about the burden of being accused of lying when in reality noone else understands the special privileges to which the author is a party.

This sentence purveys in melancholy fashion the overwhelming burden the author bears to report said information in spite of the repeated attacks of the less educated.

This sentence reiterates the false claim to insider knowledge and ends with a decision on the author’s part to ban certain poster’s in an attempt to maintain civility in the thread when in reality the bans are because the author cannot defend his postion.

The post is then is signed BigBlueShoe.
