"Don't say another word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - one whisper of a word - I will destroy myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one."

It's a copy and pasted block of text usually posted on a message board to trollnewer users and as an inside joke between older users. Copypasta can usually be found posted in a discussion about any subject, and will usually be intended to draw out newer users into responding negatively to it, much to the amusement of more veteran users.
Copypasta might have started out as a real post somewhere, but people might have found the story so stupid or amusing that they post the exact thing years later to mess with people. It's much like a group of friends getting together to mock what another person said in the past and laughing about it.
