[1.Local]: The relative value of being "First!"
Reader comments -- ahh, yes, the juicy goodness following a meaty post. [1.Local] ducks past the swinging doors to see what readers have been chatting about in the back room over the past week.
Hang on, guys, while I reach back for my Drama Mamas hat ... Just a sec, turning on my helm display ... There. Ok, here's the score: I delete all "First!" comments on my posts, so readers don't have to wade through nonsense posts simply to get a shot at making relevant conversation. Those who persist get hit with the Hammer of Ban Justice. (Don't say you haven't been warned!) Off-topic comments are pointless and rude, and they achieve nothing but demonstrating how spectacularly clueless you are on how to comport yourself in public on the internet. Don't do it, please.

Ok, now that that's on the record -- shhh, c'mere. Peek around the corner with me, because this "First!" on a recent Around Azeroth turned out to be rather entertaining. (Just don't tell anyone it was me who told you so.)
343: BTW first ;D sorry everyone, I have always wanted to say that!
tatsumasa: why do you have to say it? it's an internet blog, not a life-changing historical document. the fact that such posts are deleted on this blog haven't tipped you off yet that NO ONE LIKES IDIOTS SAYING 'FIRST'?!
Ringo Flinthammer: I'm pretty sure even people who sign historically significant documents don't write "FIRST." If you look on the bottom of the Declaration of Independence, he just signed it "John Hancock."
(cutaia): I'm pretty sure even people who sign historically significant documents don't write "FIRST." If you look on the bottom of the Declaration of Independence, he just signed it "John Hancock." ... I dunno ... He sure did write it all big and fancy. Oh man ... I just realized that if John Hancock were alive today, he'd totally sign bills, "John Hancock (FIRST!)"
MusedMoose: @ (cutaia): Actually, if I remember right, John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence in such large writing so that the king could read it without his glasses. I think that's an exact quote, not sure. Either way, it seems that Hancock was making a statement about his dedication to the side he'd chosen, while saying "first!" makes an, erm, less flattering statement about those who say it.
And I don't think he'd write "First!" on his checks. Maybe "John, Hancock, bitch!" though. *grin*
