Yes--The Straight Dope Message Board bans anyone who challenges their comfortable, narrow, bourgeois view of the world--even crazy reactionaries like MsWas.Quote:

From what I've read, it's "had". As in "past tense".
Most Katholic churches (which like all religous institutions are bastions of oppression, working to keep the common man in slavery and telling them to be happy with the crumbs their Korporate masters drop) in AmeriKKKa and Kanada have special latin masses--The Khristmas Eve Midnight mass is often done in Latin as is the the Easter Morning mass, even in mostly English churches. Of course, they don't discuss their role in destroying lives, oppressing gays, minorities and women in latin or English.
I'll be an opium poppy or a marijuana plant--both helpful, medicinal plants that The State has tried to censure because they bring a little joy into the lives of The Workers.
The biggest problem with Michael Bay's (and any other Amerikan's) 'version' of Pearl Harbor leaves out how Amerika was the aggressor with such stifling trade restrictions, obscene taxation of import goods and vile racism that a military strike was really Japan's only choice.
I like that one, but it would be funnier if it was a pissed-off Fascist Elephant with a gentle, hippie elephant putting the flower in the fascist's trunk.
Your impersonation skills need work.
09/06 08:48 <Myrnalene> we're about to get a troll in out chat
09/06 08:48 <Myrnalene> watch
09/06 08:48 <binks> gah, seriously?
09/06 08:49 <Myrnalene> just a hunch
09/06 08:49 <binks> damn
09/06 08:49 <AllWalker> who, me?
09/06 08:50 <Myrnalene> nopers
09/06 08:50 <Myrnalene> incoming
09/06 08:57 <AllWalker> omfg troll
09/06 08:58 <binks> TROLL!
09/06 08:59 <AllWalker> myrna, i think you have "troll" and "mod" mixed up
09/06 08:59 <Myrnalene> no, the troll is just sitting there watching us. *waves*
And I know it's me, because there were only about 8 other users on-line and they were all regulars at Dumbo, So I decided since she's a mod I better address it here.
She and I have been fighting over on Giraffe that's hardly a secret, but she's here calling me a troll in chat before I even had access. I've posted in 6 threads here, each time on topic and relevant posts with content--you might not like the content, if you're blinded by the Amerikan Korporate Philosophy but even if you were/are, my posts weren't just "me too".
Is something going to be done about this or is this considered appropriate? All-Walker is a mod too, right? Why wasn't anything said?
And finally, no: this isn't 'concern trolling', this is me being pissed as fuck at the welcome I got after Myrna actually sent me a PM on Giraffe asking me to come join you. Apparently I'm only someone she wants to try to "steal" from Giraffe if I agree with her 100% on everything and otherwise I'm an unwelcome troll?
You guys seem to have somewhat meatier topics and more progressive ideas-I posted in 1 fluff thread (the garden one) and 5 thoughtful threads in about 10 minutes. But I'm really unhappy with the fact that your mods are sniping at me in chat before I've actually done anything.
Official warning: The concern troll has been banned
See below about Myrna not being a mod but a forum leader.
Jim
I'm a mod? Woah.
I thought you were--of the Movie section.
Oh no. This breaks my heart, Fenris.Quote:

Nice ninja edit there.
No one ever has to wonder where they stand with me. If I don't like something you have said, I will say it. I will never ever pretend to be friends with you under one name and then snark at you other another. I'm a bitch but I have that much integrity.
This is.....unfortunate.
No one will believe me and I wouldn't believe it either if it were someone else. I write my posts in notepad and that was the start of another post about abortion on the GB.
I repeat--no one's going to believe me and I don't expect them to. The only thing I can say is that I've never hidden from a fight or hidden my socks which were always lighthearted.
Rather than cause more Mellow/GIraffe drama on your opening weekend, could you just ban my account?
Good luck on your new site.
She is a forum leader, not a global mod. She has a small subset of moderator abilities in a single forum and no where else.
Hates has the same in the Cage.
Fenris, we really don't need and concern socks.
Consider this one dead.
ETA: I agree, I don' think it was Fenris either.
I thought the title was "I thought fisting in chat wasn't permitted":o I either need more coffee or more booze.
For the record, fisting in chat isn't permitted.Quote:

After thinking about this, I do not believe Fenris is SmashState. I have read thousands of his posts over several years and and I have never seen him afraid to confront people under his own name or or seen him use duplicity to be nasty with someone. He's famous for his sockery but he tells me that he isn't this guy and I believe him. I accept his explanation.
Thank you for posting this, Myrna. I agree. It was a really, really unfortunate coincidence of a few factors, but it doesn't match Fenris's style at all.Quote:

Kidding aside. I appreciate Myrna (and Zuul and Jim and PLG's) faith in me. Thank you guys.
A LOT of work.Quote:
