Ah, reusing the same insult again! Now that's clever! Clearly you put a ton of effort into this whole trolling thing.

Ah, and here we see one of those troll commenters who is incapable of actually adhering to the conversation, and therefore only speaks in cliché insults. Instead of adding to the discussion or moving it forward like a mature human being, you simply call me names in an attempt to make me feel bad—roughly the same…

Exactly my point—io9 is essentially a fantasy blog at this point. I'm glad someone can finally back me up on this.

Story prompt? Is that what they call it? They can get away with this primitive, yellow-bellied kind of hack journalism by calling it a "story prompt"? Well, that just makes it 100% all better then, that solves everything. Oh wait, no, underneath the creative descriptor lies the same damn article no matter what…

Alright, I get it. If all you are capable of doing is alternately calling me an idiot and a troll, I have no time to draw this discussion out any further (yes, it was a discussion until you lowered it to the level of name-calling). Have a great day, and please, do try to develop a sense of conversational maturity in…

Cute comeback, but it doesn't get us anywhere in the discussion. Come back when you've decided to participate like an adult instead of throwing ad hominems like a middle schooler.

I didn't look at the picture and decide it was a real place. I looked at the picture, knew immediately that it wasn't a real place, and continued reading the article to find more and more deceptive text trying to pass it off as a real actual place where a real actual thing happened. I'm not sure who exactly it's…

I'm not part of the "older folks" category, I'm 22. I'm saying this kind of baseless bullshit is what gives the internet a bad name with my parents' and grandparents' generations. Shit like this where apparently a piece of "concept art" is grounds enough to publish an entire fictional story and pass it off as…

Real explanatory, there. Yep, you're a master professor, gizmokc.

I think it's pretty pathetic that you're trying to tell me how to have a mature conversation on the internet, when your entire comment boils down to some stranger shouting at me that 1) I should be expected to believe whatever I hear with very little proof, and 2) various insults and ad hominems trying to insult my…

Yes, and I love how difficult it is for people to accept that! They're all like "...whuh? Corvette? Not fitting my restrictive image of a 2-seat coupe? I can't believe that! DOES NOT COMPUTE!" I've posted pictures, I've given the details, and still nobody believes me. That's the price I pay for bragging about…

Congratulations, you just took two different stabs at guessing my age, and failed with both of them. I'm 22, neither a teenager nor a middle-ager. I am pretty well prepared to let it go soon, due to the fact that absolutely nobody seems to have an open mind on this site.

Okay, so is my 'Vette, how does that change anything?

Wait... you think I'm the one getting dragged along for four hours? When I'm the one who physically owns the car, and everyone else on the whole god damn site is desperately, pathetically crawling up to me and insisting my car's not real based on completely baseless lines of argument? Sounds like I'm the one proving…

Yes, yes I can. Are you done with the insults and ready to have a mature conversation now?

And did that stop him?

Clearly it's not stock. It wouldn't be a Beef Cruiser if I just walked out of the showroom with a Vette and started comparing it to Hellcats.

So, you think you can get away with "sarcastically" starring one of my comments from my Corvette article? Kind of some sort of hillbilly way to elbow your friends and say "Hey look, this idiot's Magic Beef Cruiser isn't really a Vette"? Because that's what FUCKING EVERYONE THINKS??? Well guess what. How about I…

Cute, but it's not a Nissan. It's a mid-90's Corvette sedan in Cyber Black Metallic. 5 on the floor, top speed of at least 160. You wanna test me?

First you make me out to be dumb, then you make me out to be a troll. Hopefully I "have you going" to the eye doctor.
