It's pretty explicit that he's commenting on the curious behavior of childless people (who are not even expecting or trying to have kids) on parenting forums.
I'm pretty sure monstro is a lady.

Wow, thanks! Another Big Tantrum or two may actually get him booted. I've a feeling the mods over there aren't all that fond of him either.

I didn't read it as a threat to actually track her down but it was a creepy, weird and pointless thing to say. And I don't know what being a mod has to do with it.

Well, she hasn't been banned by the dope, shunned by a mod, had a hilarious meltdown, nor does she have 2 faces, and TTBOMK she has 0 socks. How do you see her being a good fit here again?

New troll

Women are Unhireable now
All of these decades old sexual harassment allegations (AKA - Office Flirting) are going to ruin good women applying for jobs for a generation.

Think about this, you're the BOSS, why would you hire a women that can pop a baby out every 1-2 years, taking months off every time? Also, all she has to do is say she was sexually harassed (no evidence needed) and she will bring down your top producers and possibly your entire company if you are a small business.

No sane person would hire a woman in today's culture. So sad. There are a lot of good women out there that deserve a good job, but they are unhireable now.

It might be a troll but I've heard that sentiment expressed by serious people. Like the only possible solution is to not hire women and/or have a bunch of rules in place because there's no way men can simply keep their dick in their pants and their dirty words in their head.

drad dog is still all whiny and petulant about the "fuck you" in his Pit thread title.

Also, Acey and his "family" are boycotting a chain of department stores I've never heard of, because the store refuses to allow a guy in a ratty Santa costume to stand in front of the entrance robotically ringing a bell.

I'm not sure and I don't know much about the stuff he and Chuck were talking about but it was just funny seeing Chuck get schooled after he tries to speak with such authority. I pulled the link from an early snark thread and the people in the thread all said it sounded like the real deal.

I'm guessing a Doper ratted out Chuck to Straczynski via Facebook or Twitter.

Anybody is a good fit here if they see through the Dope's "fighting ignorance" pretensions.

The Dope is a place for oversharing about personal hygiene, debating the merits of mayonnaise vs. Miracle Whip, and raving over stupid shit like The Orville. Any ignorance-fighting that happens there is incidental.

I have respect for Chuck as I do for any hard-working writer but he way overplays one out-of-print book and the expertise it gives him, even though the field has massively changed in the last thirty years (or however long it's been since Sta roamed.)

Somehow I get the feeling he not only puts two spaces after a period, he tells other people to do the same and won't believe anyone who tells him otherwise. Maybe not that, specifically, but stuff like that.

He apparently supports homophobia, too. Or at least he's comfortable with ignoring it.

I've only read the one review of Staroamer's Fate that's been linked to a million times over the years. Are there others? I know when the book was on Amazon there was only one review and it was from Chuck himself but that seems to have been deleted.

I certainly can have respect for someone who has written a novel and managed to get it published, that's definitely an accomplishment (especially back then, before self publishing became a thing) but, yeah, what Plumbean said otherwise.

It was a couple of years ago. All I remember is that they were book review sites of some sort.

Savage ... or Like... forum fickle.

After a decade+ reading here anonymously (not really) ... not sure what accolade to give other than

All I can say is the book has not shown up on Bookbub.com , which lets me buy books for free, .99 or (trilogies and above) for really low prices.

And I love Conspiracy/Spirits/Gods/Mary Sue books.

When they are Free.

Which is why I read here.

IIRC, he published a second novel that was a sequel to the first one.

I have to give the guy his due—getting a novel (or two) published is definitely something. But the way he prattles on and on about Being An Author, you'd think he was cranking out novels like William Shatner's ghostwriter.

It's funny to see Acey seizing the moral high ground, bloviating in post after post about how he only wants to help the poor and downtrodden and doesn't care about all that "politics" stuff. What a fuckwad. I imagine if Planned Parenthood started soliciting donations in front of stores now, Acey would run to the Dope to complain that they were RUINING HIS CHRISTMAS.

I was also amused to see the notorious personal ad finally mentioned in Acey's pit thread. It's interesting that the ad is now the top result when you Google his username.

Catching up after the weekend and reading the Shags thread. It's amazing how he posts the same thing over and over so much that reading his posts is like deja vu every single time.
Things like:
Quote:
I know you will never believe it but that is reality. The real problem is that I am a thrill seeker and have issues with compulsion but I can keep them in check whenever necessary (i.e., at work or in social situations). That causes me to end up in a lot more improbable situations than most other people but I don't regret them because the fun makes up for all of the heartache.
He says that, almost verbatim, multiple times in the pit thread as well as other places. He does it in other threads, as well. It's like he has only stock comments he can make, so he has to find where they best fit and drop them.

The most jarring thing about his whole misogyny, besides the fact he won't even acknowledge it, is that he shows examples of it even while denying it. He does not refer to women as people; they're things. Talking about this new Australian woman he created for the ongoing story, he says, "I've always wanted one". That is how he refers to women -- as 'ones', 'thats', 'its', and other non-human wording. I think he's incapable of seeing women as actual people.


Oh, and he's totally going out with the Jewish heiress, except he's not, because she failed to make a scheduled phone call to him, and that's a big no-no in his book, so that frees him up to now date the Russian and the Australian. Because that's how the world works.
