  • A well thought-out, researched, comprehensive explanation that unfortunately serves to demonstrate that the person composing it has no life outside his fandom or This Very Wiki.
    • Blunt and rather rude dismissal of said well thought-out, researched, comprehensive explanation, complete with pedantic nitpicking over certain minor points.
  • Exasperated retort, intended to demonstrate that the Troper in question is a lot more relaxed about the issue than the initial poster but which instead comes off as slightly hypocritical, given how they've expanded a similar effort to respond.

  • Pointing out that someone is whining about whining, in a fashion the Troper presumably thinks is witty but instead comes off as rather smug.

• OVERLY emphasized example TALKING about how this thing fucking sucks and getting AIDS would be better than this. This example will eventually be cut or it will lead to the page getting cut.
  • Understated response encouraging the complainer to chill.
  • OVERLY emphasized response SCREAMING about how the complainer is a complete string of ad-hominem PROFANITY, and that this is the best thing ever, and would cure AIDS, if people like the complainer didn't turn everyone against it! This example will quickly be restored if the header example is cut.
