Oh hey look
One Recent changes ruining later, and its still shit for the same reasons it was before! --MikallakiM 12:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't be an asshole. If it bothers you that much, use enhanced recent changes-- "Shut up, Brx." 14:20, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * then i would have to use enhanced Recent changes; which presents much more annoying problems --MikallakiM 14:58, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Another angry boor. No doubt a disappointment to his parents, if they cared. And unable to see the wood for the trees. Now go and play elsewhere, you obnoxious little cunt. -Albannach (talk) 16:06, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There isn't any need for that unless you are actively wanting people to get annoyed with you. Scarlet A.pngmoral 16:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Just doing unto others as they do unto me.--Albannach (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * "i'm so much better than you that im going to the same level" is no different than "i'm as bad as i think you are"--MikallakiM 17:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Get back what you give out. Now stop twatting.-Albannach (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Socrates killed by a hemlock herbal remedy? Really? Are you sure about that?--Křěĵ talk 16:36, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Herbal infusion... erm, joke. But he was executed by hemlock for corrupting the youth, that's true.-Albannach (talk) 16:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * But it's listed under "herbal medicine".--Кřěĵt̪åɬк 02:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's not alternative medicine if it's intended as a poison. Also, some of this stuff is more likely to be idiocy than quackery, like the statesman trying to relieve a blockage using whalebone.-- "Shut up, Brx." 17:00, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Poe's law again. Whale bone as acupuncture? I'll include that for novelty value. I squirm just thinking about it.-Albannach (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * He wasn't using it for acupuncture. He was using it because he had a blockage in his urethra, likely caused by prostate cancer .  The whale bone was just an attempt to clear things up.  Stupid, to be sure, but not alternative medicine.-- "Shut up, Brx." 01:08, 9 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Acupuncture... another bad joke. Seriously, does every joke/satire on this website have to be flagged up? comes under folk medicine perhaps. In the meantime, is there anyone else worth adding to this list?? Albannach (talk)
 * Well, frankly, this list isn't really funny.--Кřěĵt̪åɬк 02:35, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * ^This. What is it even satirising?  07:21, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Suggestion
Maybe this would be more useful? After all, there's already What's The Harm, so I don't think this list would really bring anything new.--Кřěĵ (ṫåɬк) 16:34, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
