I took the liberty.
Congratulations to TheMob! One thing that strikes me (besides Snape's book) is that while gold always had the advantage, the game always seemed to be just one weak move away from being won by silver. This is a quality you see in good tournament chess games. So I'm concluding that this game represents a very high level of play. Congratulations to all involved.
Here is a transcription of the trash talk:
g 1s: Thanx for being TheOne. You seem to be enjoying this.
s 2g: I am enjoying Myself immensely already. Thank you for letting
s: me be The One. It is great fun to analyze thoroughly starting
s: with the setup; even in the Postal Mixer, playing multiple simultaneous
s: games prevents me from laying on the kind of domination you are
s: about to suffer.
g 2g: I'm sure this is what you expected. Not that we care.
s 2s: On the contrary, I had expected the Mob to play a_good_move.
s: But I can understand if you want to shorten the agony instead.
s 4s: What is your guess for when I will first correctly predict a Mob
s: move? It hasn't happened yet...
g 4s: Move your camel to e3 and you should be able to predict our move.
s 4s: I'm sure this is what you expected. Not that I care.
s 5s: Yay! For the first time in the game, I correctly predicted the
s: Mob's move!
g 5s: Then you can see there is no hope for you. Admit defeat now.
s 6g: My move reveals the full extent of my despair, does it not?
g 7s: We're moving slowly because nobody cares about you.
s 8g: Ahhh, apathy explains both your slowness and your inaccuracy.
g 9g: Lame.
s 10g: I know you are, but what am i?
s 11s: You fell right into the trap!
g 12s: Let us know when to wake up.
s 13g: Keep on dreaming!
g 15s: We now waterboard your camel.
s 15s: My camel can handle waterbaording, but if you tickle his toes
s: he will tell you anything...
g 16s: The only thing your camel told us so far was to buy your book.
s 21g: First blood!
g 21s: Horse meat!
g 23s: You just gained an advantage and are not in any trouble.
s 23s: Ah, you sure know how to deliver a death sentence with panache!
g 33g: TheMob has noticed your last few moves are just what bot_quad
g: recommended. BOT_QUAD!!
s 33g: So this is the first time in the game I have gone three moves
s: without a tactical blunder? It's a start.
g 33s: Fool!
g 38s: Dog breath.
s 39g: I recall from the 2007 Mob game that we were in some doubt as
s: to whether it would be sporting to tell chessandgo we saw his
s: forced loss and/or indicate a willingness to accept resignation.
s: Now I find myself with the reverse doubt; would it be unsporting
s: for me to offer my resignation? I would of course permit the
s: Mob the pleasure of executing a technical win, but perhaps the
s: move "accept resignation" could be added to the Mob's voting choices
s: at some point?
s: I defer to your judgement as to the appropriateness of such an
s: offer.
g 39s: I haven't asked yet, but we are still suggesting blunders among
g: ourselves. So I think you should hope ... Oh no! I just made
g: ... oh wait, it's OK.
s 39s: Hehe. Anyway what's the point in resigning when the natural end
s: is so near?
g 40s: Now you are ahead in material.
s 40s: Congrats to the Mob!

That's why they call it "trash talk".
