Erm, I think you guys really, really missed something here. There is a rather infamous jpeg that has been floating around for years now and has seen a rather large amount of use in forums. It states something along the lines of:
"Arguing on the Internet is like winning the special Olympics. You may have won, but you're still a retard."
Obviously it's not an extremely "nice" message, but not all-together that demeaning to anyone. (And, if taken lightly, has a good point) Ghostiger was merely invoking this image. You guys assigned meanings to it far beyond what, I'm sure, he intended.

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
