I dreamt that some guy joined the boards and that he kept sending people massive messages by PM instead of posting, and then got angry when people told him to post instead of PMing. And then we had a big flame war in which I wrote a lengthy rationale for interacting publicly instead of privately. Then we were all a bit gobsmacked when the guy conceded the point and stayed around, following the rules. We haven't had a major flame war since we left the old boards. This shows how well our system here works. But sometimes I miss the intensity of it - not the unpleasantness, just the level of engagement.
I strongly object to that sweeping statement of yours, just goes to prove that your already puny brain is being shrivelled by your crazy hormones, woman! In fact, I have a good mind to send you a lengthy PM about it just as soon as I get back from my Pro-Child-Abuse group's annual animal torturing S&M orgy in Cuba.
Oh, nice, the rest of us aren't good enough for you are we not? Hah, typical pregnant eastern european types (named Inna) living in Philly, you're all the same!
Oh hell! Now you've got Kat started. PM the address ... Pretty please! Just joking, Kat... put the cheese down... slowly!
Ahhh. One is honoured to have received such a 'pie'ous comment from a crusty old, member. (exits, stage left, bleeding profusely, and uttering curses; along the lines of... "May you suffer, one thousand years, of mis-placed puctuation, to Buzzfloyd": For starting this thread.)
*dusts off, nukes the place from orbit* there, now in a few million years we might be lucky enough to see some radiation resistant strains of bacteria begin the whole process of life again. to wit: panel one: Ba, Garner, and Doors standing around a tidepool Ba: There! Ba is sure of it this time! Something formed a protein chain this time! Doors: Where?! panel two: Garner, pushing doors into the tide pool. Ba pointing at Doors in the tide pool Ba: Right there. Ba hereby names it Scotus Primitivus. Doors: Ach. panel three: all three standing around the tidepool again Garner: Is it okay for me to admin that Spore wasn't really the greatest game in the world? Doors: Aye. Ba: The Ba misses pie.
Spore was a fun idea, but the individual parts of the game were each too shallow in terms of gameplay.
Didn't we get one or two posters with a persecution complex that left us soon after the first respective fallout? All relative newbies who took some discussions personal that weren't about them, and weren't seen again? I mean, sure, there's no comparison to old times... But sure, conflict forces people to identify with one side. The remaining people after a rift tend to identify with each other.
Piffle. I don't identify with you lot. I just don't discriminate in the company I keep. Besides its all too hard to move boards now. I've got the sofa to conform to my shape, I've got a glass of wine balanced on my belly and i have command of the remote control. As ruts go this ones pretty damn comfy...
Just like old times, brings a tear to the eye and fire in the belly*. I hate you all! Maybe, definitely, probably :wink:
