But, treating the denizens of Intensity like lab rats is worse in what way than treating each other like punchbags? (undoubtedly , the most popular local sport)
I think you're very out of touch about what Intensity is like now if that's what you think.
You could well be right about that. But, on the other hand, I still find I have to wade through page upon page of puerile mudslinging in my efforts to follow some purportedly serious discussion. If some kind of radical change has occurred around here, can you blame for failing to detect it? (I’m on dial-up, for Pete’s ’s sake. And I’ve actually read a great deal more than my post count suggests. ‘cause I’ve got this stupid fetish for reading the whole of the thread before I post, if it’s a half-way serious issue. And most of ‘em defeat me. Guess why.)
Don’t get me wrong. I once pushed for an unmoderated sub forum on Aspergian Island , in spite of the obvious drawbacks (and we wound up with something that called itself an “unmoderated forum†but wasn’t really. Ho hum.)., so I ‘m surely not about to say: “Ban the puerile mudslingingâ€. I might even join in, now and then. I just wish I could filter it out, sometimes. (Hmm. I should think that’s technically feasible, but then some poor sod would have to devote their whole life to indexing the stuff)
Anyway, the only change that’s leapt out at me is McJ’s new username. Gotta say it really suits him. He didn’t need the “Mc†part, IMO, he was instantly recognisable, just from a glance at his avatar. Plus ca change, as they say.
Btw, on the "lab rat" issue, i think I ought to add that I see no reason to to suppose that's what Pyraxis is doing right now
what do you have against me?
I’m temped to repond with: Nothing at all, not even in my dreams. Dunno about yours. But heck, I think you were actually serious (wouldn’t be the first time)
So you’re taking my observation that your username suits you as some kind of insult, hmm?
Maybe you should change your username, if you’re so ill at at ease with whatever-you-think-it –implies . Sheesh. I surely would.
I suppose you want to know what I think it’s supposed to imply? OK, here goes. I have several alternatives in mind:
A) McFuck is obsessed with sex
B) McFuck is a dickhead (if that’s saying something different)
C) McFuck is well-intentioned prat who couldn’t McFuck a fly, except by accident
D) McFuck is stupendously accident prone Flies beware!
E) All of the other above, though not necessarily with any conscious intention on McFuck’s part.
I think A is surely indisputable, but overall I favour E
I might add that your current avatar comes unnervingly close to paedophilia for my tastes. But maybe it’s my own sick imagination makes that girl look roundabout 10 years old
What was on my mind when I posted? Nothing much, except that the world’s leading exponent of mindless mud slinging could surely cope with a little bit of friendly ribbing. Oh! And I was a little bit friustrated at the way you (and others) interpose these mud slinging matches between me and the end of a possibly interesting thread, But, if you read my post carefully (I mean, if you read the bits that don’t actually mention you by name) you’ll see that I made no secret of that.
End of. I could come up with some serious gripes , if pressed, I suppose. But there’s nothing I’m itching to raise; nothing that really seems remotely relevant right now. If your Paranoia has a different idea, I’m curious to hear what it is. I know we’ve (privately) disagreed on some issues, in the past; but in the end, I thought you concluded, as I did, that there’s no real point in continuing those discussions. ‘cause neither of us was ever likely to budge.. That still how I feel, and I’ll be breathing a great big weary sigh if it turns out that you really feel a burning need to resurrect some past disputes.
Yeah. Hmm. I really do believe that you’re well-intentioned (unlike certain others whom I’ve publically clashed with on other fora), but I find you one heckova a frustrating person to talk to, that’s a fact.
Hmm. So this isn’t much of a call-out really, is it? Not unless your Paranoia demands more satisfaction than I’ve given it here. It might just turn out to be another damp squib, where everyone goes “Huh? What’s the issue here?†including the protagonists (um, that means you and me, in Plain Simple English). But at least it’s out of the Peanut Gallery.
