Dear Fenrita,

Can you please box anyone who didn't realize that this post was a silly joke? And box me for not realizing some derp would actually believe it was serious? I mean WTF? :violence:

I thought that was Arlo Guthrie.

Mr. Plumbean 31st October 2018 08:11 AM
You just reminded me I dreamed last night that my wife and I were on a boardwalk of some beach community on vacation and ran into Arlo Guthrie. Or at least someone claiming he was Arlo Guthrie. When I play the dream back in my mind it is clearly Chris Stein from Blondie.

I wonder what it all means?

Why was there no link in the last thread to this one? What happened to that wonderful tradition?

Hey, sometimes a cigar is just Arlo Guthrie.

No, what I wanted was not on the menu (I wanted Alice)

Since that's my MIL's name I just made myself a little ill.

I object to the title of this thread: It's not one I suggested.

We were both kicking around the PT 109 kickball though.

I thought Snowboarder Bo had been doing that quarry thing long before that, but apparently it just seems longer. Bo's first quarry post was literally the day after Chessic posted that.

You're not related, so it's not like it's weird.

ecg just made a (good, IMHO) decision on the VPN thing. We can discuss them but can't refer to their more nefarious uses. Seems logical. Same as with talking about, I dunno, prescription drugs, I'd imagine.

Meanwhile I just caught this little dig from Ramira from earlier this morning:

I mean... really? She's equating the mods' (admittedly old-fashioned) ideas about VPNs to racism?

Surprised she didn't get a note for that. Except it's entirely possible no one reads her endless posts all that carefully.

She is merely making a scholarly observation about the long history of oppression toward the Negro, the Mussulman, and the dude who downloads Game of Thrones torrents.

Reddit is full of guys who think gamers are the most oppressed group in society.

Because being a gamer affects your opportunities for work, education, and housing apparently. And because anybody can tell from looking at you anyway.

Blatant bias. If I were you I’d start making violent threats until you get your way.

Guinastasia 31st October 2018 11:25 AM
I seem to remember in one of those "confession" threads or something Chessic Sense saying he has no sense of empathy or compassion, and that he really doesn't give a shit about that, either.

The kitten thread reminds me of Crafter Man bragging about drowning his neighbors' cats and teaching his kids to shoot at strays.

Yeah, he'd have done something worse. sorry, ITF. You're just not as capriciously horrible as the real Fenris.

Rebo 31st October 2018 11:42 AM
She's just arbitrary.

Should I go add a link to here from the old one? I kept wondering why nobody was posting to it. Or just let the people suffer?

I thought she meant that the mods see VPNs as evil because they're like prison guards and they only see the evil side.

Well that's how I read it.

I just noticed a gem from the "I am your better" thread that I had missed before:

Huh, a guy who thinks he's "winning" a thread when he's actually making an utter fool of himself. Who does that remind me of? :confused:

That would be completely fair & logical, but also already covered by the current "no p2p" rule. The problem is that he's also saying that you can't name any VPN service that has the characters "p2p" anywhere on their website.
