oh yeah, that's definitely me.  i never do anything irrational, me.

Who said anything about doing?  :P I'm just laughing at the insistence that there couldn't possibly be anything but unbiased intentions behind your personal observations.

of course i'm biased: as ozy said, it's part of human nature to be so (i'm paraphrasing).

but if added together, and even if not, your posts don't suggest what you say they mean after i've responded to them.  the sole use of rational communication might be anathema to you, but it gets one's point across without ambivalence.

Tombo/zoologist, Inger, natron, tigerlily, LGB, are those who I wouldn't give the time of day.  Cal, has potential, but, his path is leading him into my adding him to the list of those people I just mentioned!

What did Tigerlily do to get on the list, Ozymandias?

By being volatile and unreasonable and just expecting everybody to dance around her moods and whims.  Her banning of scrapheap from the AspergianElder's forums for a trivial comment was the straw that broke the camel's back.  She gets on a forum and then bails out when things get heavy.    She's also a nurse supervisor, and I have known dishonest, volatile supervisor's ever since I got into the field.  I have to deal with it IRL, I won't deal with it in electron unreal life.   >:(

She banned him for the "wetback" comment?

He has demonstrated his racism here, as well. I have a problem with that, but I know many other racists who are even worse.

It was his dishonesty with his admin privileges while he was here that put me off.

It bothered me as well.

I don't like people saying racist things, but that isn't something that would ever get them banned here.

Yeah, he won't ever be an admin here again.

Yes, given what he did, I think that is for the best.

Life's just too short. Yes, the backups work now, but you've all seen how easily this place can crash.

Would it help to put some old threads into a separate archive?

Well, a smaller db is always easier to handle, but moving them (splitting the db, actually) would be a lot of work.

I think we have too many posts by now so I wouldn't want to do that by hand.

Nah. I'll just find some other way to stabilise the thing. I like the fact that we can read stuff from the beginning and onwards. I'm very nostalgic.
