The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)

[OrangeSAM]

At least they didn't do a Zach Horan education thread

I think that would be a Zach Horan re-education thread.

As for this thread, can we rename it to this: -->ear---->TPH--->ear--> ?

This thread should have its own Wikipedia page.

I find TPH's posts and the responses to them entertaining. The daily topics would be much more boring without them.

[OldSchoolChamp]

Who is this “TPH”? Never heard of him.

I completely agree with this.

I was going to tell you who he is, but I decided that couldn't possibly be right so I deleted the post. Turns out I was right after all.

TPH is Tenpoundhammer, one of the regular posters here.

I think this was undervalued; it should have been close to the bottom of the board, how could anyone have been expected to know that?

That would be/will be the point of this thread. You can still be 'entertained' should you so desire, but the daily threads will be significantly uncluttered and thus be less tedious for the rest of the Boardies.

[periwinkle]

If TPH posts in a daily thread, will you be moving his posts here? Otherwise I don't see how it takes the tedium out. (I've partly taken it out by blocking him, but of course all the response posts are there.)

[This Is Kirk!]

Is this the "TPH Education Thread" or the "let's all make fun of TPH thread?" It seems like it's leaning toward the latter.

Yes, please.

[alietr]

It wasn't my plan to move any posts, but rather encourage responses to questions like "How was I supposed to know there was a lake next to Michigan?" be posted here. I agree with Periwinkle; even if you don't want to see his posts, you see the many posts of people trying to help him. But I prefer not to screw with things as much as possible.

[zakharov]

It doesn't seem fair to quarantine all his posts here. I answered a specific question in yesterday's game thread and it seems like that can stay.

Was it an ewhipping, or were you visited in person?

[zakharov]

It was brutal. He didn't even need to use a weapon - his rapier wit was good enough.

To Zakharov: I have no quarrel with legitimate questions he poses. RGIII was a reasonably legit question (though easily Googleable). It's the questions that pretty much everyone else on here knows that provide no elucidation for any other JBoarders that could be readily found by Googling that I don't appreciate having in the daily threads, usually accompanied by "how can anyone possible know ...". I just don't feel like Boardies should be TPH's personal Google service multiple times per day. And it's obviously been difficult to make Boardies comply with that request. All you have to do is quote him, copy it, and then paste it here. Pretty simple in theory.

To TPH: I'm glad you seem to be taking it in stride.

Oh hey man. You're another of my favourites.

As pointed out in "The Newsroom" by Aaron Sorkin, perhaps in jest, the English language no longer has a word that means literally, because the word is so often used as an exaggeration or for emphasis that the dictionary has expanded its definition of the word, at least in informal usage. If we want a word that means literally, we would have to invent a new word. Get over it.
