Mods are too lax

Invert, I've always thought you were intelligent. I've just never cared enough to make it through your ramblings. Also, when I said you lost your intelligence, I was just blowing smoke. Being a peanut. Nonetheless, I don't think I really missed much after page 3 of this thread (my pages are 30 posts long). There were really only 2 or 3 ways that this could of ended, and sure enough, the "debate" between you and gustav ended in one of them, though it's never really over, now is it?

Leave him alone.
This is mean, even for my tastes.

Oh my. So much to trawl through, all in a day or so... although I'm quite gratified to see this has finally been consigned to the cesspool. One does wonder there are so many subforums these days to begin with, though... that one would cover most of the forum.

Now. Where to begin.

... I have a feeling this may be one of the longest posts I've ever made. I love christmas, you know. So much time on my hands, with nobody bothering me. I suppose christianity has its finer points, even if they are not quite what was intended.

Not at all. You see, Gendanken used to claim that she was here for exactly that purpose, though. And here she is... in this thread. And those like it, for the last... well. Quite some time. She even packed up her toys and went home for a while. You haven't noticed the gaping holes?
I wonder how many others here have become something else, over time, for similar reasons. I wonder how many have become something they purported to dislike.

And why am I here? Pure malevolence, with a side order of academic interest garnished with amusement. All born of disappointment. It's an odd combination of emotions to be feeling.

I once said that certain individuals here were the most interesting I'd seen for some time.
Look at them now. I get the same feeling when someone I'd previously liked discovers religion, and can't wait to let everyone know about it... even if they oh-so-quietly worm it into a conversation somewhere.

Harlequin. A slightly different tone to that word as opposed to say, Jester. All my nicks have relevance at the time, you see. I may change it again at some stage. Although I have to admit, I'm enjoying this one. I may not change it for quite some time. I have to work on the entertainment side of things though - I'm not terribly good at that aspect. At this rate, I'll have no fans at all.
Woe is me. Heh. Must be that "follower mentality" I apparently evince.

As a side note, I am actually feeling a little Japanese at the moment. Here I am, trying to extract something nutritional from blowfish. Or perhaps it is more an Aboriginal thing - digging for witchety grubs in the bark, because there simply isn't anything else to eat.
The thing about eating blowfish, is that you have to be careful not to get poisoned. Eat them long enough, and the odds rise.

Hmm.
You know, I'd much prefer the former... and here I am in the latter.
There have even been nuggets planted here, deliberately or otherwise... but it seems the pyrrite is far more interesting.

Yes, a long time ago. It was either Xev or Gendanken who pointed me to it, incidentally. Probably Xev. I really don't remember though, I just remembered the reference. And the photo.

The evidence is all here. And I have not claimed to be not playing for the gallery - or in my case, parts of it. This is where the "observation" angle can be quite useful - it allows one to point out things without referring directly back to anyone else - or the self. I'm not the only one who uses it.
I wonder if Gustav has that in his little reference somewhere. He was quite lax in missing it.

Why not start a thread on it, though, other than that reason?
I put in a one liner as a hook, to see who would see it and who wouldn't. Who would see past even that one line.
I then explained further afterwards... but the focus remained on that one line rather than beyond it. It was, effectively, buried in guano.

Let me ask a question - in a thread dedicated to it, if I'd started one.
Would a discussion have been generated any more than it was here? Would it have attracted anyone other than the peanut gallery? Consider two things.
One. I have been reacted to here rather than read. The illustration.
Two. That reaction was caused not by what I'd written... but who I was, and misconceptions regarding my *original* intent.

I'm not above admitting that that reaction caused considerable disappointment, leading to my original intent becoming.... blurred.
But hope springs eternal.

Guess I'll now abandon the much yearned for tearjerker and just go watch DOOM. The quota has been met.
or then.. gay porn.
Both have more balls.

Not enough 'fucks' and 'shits' for my tastes anyhow - merely bonds

This clinched it for me-

He's too real.
Just a sad lonely cement shoveler. The one highlight in his life was talking to gendanken on sciforums and feeling like an intellectual, and now she's just wailing on him and laughing along with everyone else. And he can't even defend himself.
It's horrible. He's innocent. What did he do to deserve this? "Present logical fallacies"? Well, better warn satan, he's got competition.
Give him a break, the poor old fella. Just imagine him, logging out, and going to do a tradesmen-calibre shit in his perfectly quiet and bland apartment. Then tucking himself into bed alone, grimacing as tears well in his soft proud eyes, his world has fallen apart in this thread, and it really isn't funny...

*dr lou weeps*

... *sobs loudly*

 

You are only disappointed in them because you assume that the self is something absolute and permanent.

 

As we examine the internets..

..gore and profanity equals fun, dispirited personas equal...*sob*.. I can't go on..

As my treshold gently weeps

 

Lou,

Cry not, dear heart. Things are not always what they appear.

And. I deal in wood, not stone.

 

What does that mean? Is it an idiom? Someone please explain this to me.
(This thread's good! I'm learning plenty new words and idioms!)

 

It means he works with lumber and not cement. A carpenter of some sort, not a mason.

 

An idiom? Not really. I'm brought to mind of a phrase, "I deal in lead." From The Gunslinger.

What does it mean?
Simply that.

Lou has me pegged for a cement shoveler as I've stated that I work in the construction trade. I do not shovel cement. I deal in wood. I'm a carpenter.

And.
At least you're being a calm observer, Water. Still coming in for some blood though, eh?


Know what I like?
Lou's and Perfect's method of pretending sympathy. Ah. The weeping. The wailing. Poor, poor Invert. What did the poor boy do to deserve this? The humanity. Oh. Woe's me!!

Stop and think, idiots. What did I do to deserve what?
And what do you deserve for your false sympathy? More than I'm giving you, I suspect. And more than has been given.


And. Harlequin. Nah. You were fooled just like the rest of 'em. I have to admit though, that little speech you made where you got all open and non-cryptic almost made me confess to you. But, I held back. I saw why you believed in that speech. Public humiliation of a loyal friend. You weren't defending me at all. Maybe only vicariously.

Anyway. Don't feel too bad. The whole thing wasn't in jest. Merely the fervor. She still does believe all of Gustav's bullshit. And I guess I have to accept that in her. That she's been conned. It's a real letdown in someone you've thought of as so perceptive. But as I've said. She's too well-versed in flame wars to easily escape the assumptions contained therein.
I guess I can't really blame her.
Or any of the other peanuts.

Anyway. I'll get to your post in a bit. Off to work for this cowpoke.
And. Now I'm going to be late. And I'm going to be fired. And it's all your fault.
Cry for me now, motherfuckers!

 

"Know what I like?

Delusive nonchalance, invert. You so promote it to be sincere, you don’t care, or so you claim.

And yet...

It’s sad.

So, I will not pretend sympathy, you deserve sincerity. I weep for you must reply yet again - the need for influences and them.
Or then you enjoy this (kick me anyone?).

(in finnish ‘influenssa’ means a virus based disease)

EDIT: Oh, and no I did not read those pages. In fact, let us not walk the would be contradictive path, therefore...

..pick my last post in this eyesore:

1. Fuck you
2. I'll let that slide
3. No time, gonna go and drink for a week or so

 

It's monstrous, what is happening here. Monstrous, the display of the egos. Monstrous the interest of the bystanders. And how we humans love this!
Get in touch with your inner dragon ...

 

And there is a thing to be said about winners, and this is pertinent both to the losers, as well as to how other people perceive the winner and the loser in a fight.

People often have the tendency to automatically consider the winner to be superior to the loser, superior in every way.
If someone wins (and what the fight was like and what it was about it actually secondary), he tends to automatically be considered physically, morally, intellectually superior to the loser. And the winner tends to consider himself that way as well.

 

There was a fight here?

 

hi
how am i an idiot?

I have found this thread makes much more sense since I placed everybody except Spurious [and a handful of occasional visitors] on my Ignore List. Such clarity.

 

Harlequin:

Today I woke up, ate my Blueberry Morning cereal and stepped outside to this view:

Wow. You know what? That sounds like something one of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...102-0873306-6441753?n=507846&s=books&v=glance John Fowles' characters would write. Eeech.

 

the weak and infirm waltz in brandishing the mother of all wmd's
the ignore list

you really cannot get anymore pathetic than that
it is also very likely, that those who boast of this, click to expand and read, the ignored

who dare disagree?

 

Xev

Perhaps I'm wrong in this, but I can't find any record of having sent anything to you in the last six months. I'm currious, what other forum are you referring to and what exactly did this message say?
