Replies by Tom Brown and how they work.
1. Short replies - usually less then 5 words. This is basically a drive by and most here will never be able to connect his thoughts. If you must comment use caution.
2. A full sentence - Usually a question or a statement based on a fact or comment you made in a thread that once read, creates self doubt.
3. Two sentences - This is your best scenario. He is agreeing with the thread at hand backed up with a bit of reasoning. I would feel free to quote these and say "Thanks Tom." If your lucky he will reply to your quote with another two sentence remark. If he replies with a single sentence...your fucked, here comes the self doubt.
4. Three to five sentence reply - This is the tough one. If there is no paragraph you might be OK. Read it carefully as there is some information in there, he may knock himself a little, for example: "Because I'm cheap." On the flip side he could be trending to wards number 5.
5. A paragraph followed by a single sentence - Somebody just got told they are stupid as fuck. Although very well worded, well thought out, often the person reading his replay wont even know it until they have read past. Then all the sudden "Wait just a damn minute!" It happens.
6. Two full paragraphs - Tom is a busy guy. If he takes the time to write something like this I would read it twice. Chances are you have been told to Fuck off more then once. You will feel a bit mentally challenged, he usually has you quoted, no way to get out of it. Perhaps a crying towel will help.
7. Three paragraphs - 99% of the time in these types of posts he is bragging about his VW Golf's fuel mileage. Skip these. If you must quote it be sure to include a reminder of his trucks fuel mileage for comparison.
8. Four Paragraphs - Generally some excellent info and a well written story. A good read no doubt. Somewhere in that story, someone is getting the internet shit beat out of them but, these are worth bookmarking for future reference.
9. A five paragraph- He is sharing a personal story. Always a good read. Your in the clear, nobody is going down in flames. Sometimes there are pictures. Nice. :thumbsup
10. A five paragraph plus - He is forum masturbating. Watch for a sticky ending.
