So the followup-post is the problem, not the everypony.
No. The follow-up post is just a street light under which a streaker is dancing.
Besides, isn't that more of an affectation than a reference? Like spelling gray "grey" or using "colour" in the US.
Affectation? "conspicuous artificiality of manner or appearance; effort to attract notice by pretense, assumption, or any assumed peculiarity."? Grey is correct everywhere, while colour is not, so that doesn't clear your question up for me.
My god, how about we just not care about how people use words unless it is directly interfering with clear communication and get back to talking about dorfs?

Merriam-Webster doesn't recognize "everypony", ergo it is not a word. Bluh bluh bluh.
Pony fans are willfully indignant to those who do not wish to be constantly bombarded with references to the show and purposefully inject ponies into every single piece of media.
No joke - I mentioned something to this effect elsewhere once, and was immediately attacked by a Brony whose basic opinion was that anyone who doesn't like MLP or the fandom is a Sexist, Ageist homophobe actively trying to oppress people.
And really, I just treat MLP fandom with occasional interest, but mostly, I ignore it as if it didn't exist, except for acknowledging it as a general phenomenon. Most of the references you see are exactly identical to any other heavily-used references, and all the things attendant to it - if you want to hear something very similar to my opinion on this, I'm pretty sure Scrym mentioned that sort of thing in a podcast. Mostly negatively, but that was before the people shared such a strong common interest with them, so clearly, their opinion has changed - since what was once railed against is now being defended. And we're probably about to see some sort of rationalization why it hasn't, but this is an exception. Or why both positions are simultaneously correct. Flip a coin, really.
I don't give a flying fuck if someone doesn't appreciate ponies, that's their life I'll let them live it. Nine, you're being a pedantic dick for the sake of disrupting the thread and making a ruckus over a literal non-issue. I've seen grammar nazis with smaller sticks up their asses than the one you must have if you're going to continue raising a stink over one fucking thing I said.
This is not a general purpose insult, you know. It implies something - for example, using it like this implies that criticizing or insulting people on the internet requires courage or bravery.
Poorly considered insult pairing, poorly thought-out insults. 4/10.

Seriously, grow a pair.
I'm suprised you ignored everyone else and went straight for Nine. Oh wait, who am I kidding. We all got hateboners for him, and mine is especially raging. Come here Nine you bastard, I got something for you.

More to imply he's being petty because he's immature but I do take constructive criticism.

everyone else was willing to drop the subject on reasonable terms, but he decided to continue being a pedant.

What? I made 2 posts on the topic. First pointing out you made an obnoxious reference, second explaining that my problem is with your lack of creativity and how bad references are fucking tripe. Also, Andrew is the one who first rose it, you blind twat.
Seriously, grow a pair.
This is what I mean with your lack of creativity. That insult doesn't even begin to make fucking sense.

Sorry I don't eat, sleep and take a shit at the same times as you. I fucking clarified my point and then we got in a discussion about references and affectations, which Rym refuses to clear up at all. So excuse me, you whiny whore, but I was discussing things on reasonable terms before you blundered yourself back into this thread and started smearing shit all over the walls. Apparently pointing out you went full retard triggers you recursing into full retardation. Just fucking great!
Oooh, I see. Sort of how you use French words when you have perfectly capable English words.
Most of the time, foreign words and phrases are used because they concisely encapsulate a certain concept that would take significantly more words to describe using English alone.
World has been gen'd, site has been selected, dwarfs have been trained and equipped, and they are at the site. Next comes the fun.
Strike the Earth!
Which reminds me of the shortest lived forts thread over at bay12's forums. The messages read "Strike the Earth!" "A section of the cavern has collapsed!" "Your fortress has crumbled to its end."
Someone commented "Shouldn't have struck the earth so hard..."
