I've seen a few around - used to have groen's little gem about the "van halen's [sic] belt" being a massive obstacle to space travel, and there are oh so many more that have tempted me since then, but nothing quite as golden as my current one. Perhaps we can get a little compendium going.
Anyone else with a groen sig?

Only one so far... not just the sheer volume of siggable quites, but I'm sure I've seen a more diverse range of groen's sigs around here.
To be fair, it sounds like I'm singling groen out - which, I suppose, I am. I'd like to take the opportunity to say that I'm not holding anything against groen, nor am I inferring that I think he's a cretin or slightly retarded. He has strong opinions on things and I respect him (somewhat) for having the conviction to repeatedly post opinions that so many people think are absurd - whether I consider him to be right or wrong, you've got to acknowledge the fact that most people would have ragequit the forums by now. Kudos to you, groen, for giving me chuckles.
On a side note, why do so many of these ilk avoid capital letters like the plague? groen, magick, mattheman, doofer, dvdbunny... what's so abhorrent about the shift key?
Edit: I'm also of the opinion that groen trolls, but only via hyperbole of his true inclinations - there is a worrying seed of verity in every controversial opinion he expresses.

In which case, as mentioned, it's been a trend for a bit too long (since the early days of forums, as far as I'm aware) and is done by a bit too many people to be called a fad or band wagon.Your comments, as ever, come off as petulant and attention-seeking. Are you sad that you've never been sigged?
Edit: ^^^
You're right, how could I have been so blind? I'd better reform and change my ways before I lose my individuality
As mentioned, I'm not intending to make this a personal attack, rather to discover what other lolworthy quotes of yours I may have missed. My selection of your little gems was based purely on personal amusement, not out of any deep-seeded need to decry your views on homosexuality. For the record, it's not out of context - anyone following the quote link can avail themselves of your opinion of homosexuality with impunity - and I'm not sure why you assume I'm gay based on my selection.
Didn't you know? Only gay people are pro-gay.
Either you're free & easy with your winky faces, or you want me to Trust you
I said before that I'm not intending to single out groen, and even made mention of my motives to clarify that - highlighting that somebody has a habit of saying stupid things isn't bullying, unless you're the worst kind of hand-wringing panty waister. Also, he didn't get banned for defending himself, he got banned for calling me a homosexual (probably) - it's not like I led him into a trap or anything. It didn't offend me in the slightest, and were it my choice, he wouldn't have been banned. Your moral horse gets higher every day, and it's fast becoming too dangerous to get off safely.
Edit: I was under the impression that you can still view the forums while logged in to a suspended account, but you couldn't while you were banned. Is that the case?
So you're saying I started with an intention to get groen banned? As someone has already pointed out, I've made a fair share of stupid comments myself - I don't think having someone start a thread to collect them together would drive me to say anything that would get me banned, I'd likely find it quite amusing - like laughing at yourself if you fall over. What exactly is so objectionable to assuming someone would see the lighter side?
With the amount of other comments posted on these forums bordering on ridiculing people, no, I didn't think it was a huge leap over the line. I also wasn't hoping groen would have a negative response - I assumed he would take it in good humour. Clearly he did not, and the fault lies with me - it was an error of judgement. I apologise to groen if he felt victimised by this.
