ATTN OLD PEOPLES (Civil war era or there abouts)

The Good Reverend Roger

Here's how it all started.

We were having a regular old flamewar, like we always have, over content vs fluff.  Hugh was very much on the fluff side.  He elected to start a large number of alts, and feed people bad information, about other "alleged" alts, and go into the database to let people read other peoples' PMs, usually out of context. 

The explosion that resulted was epic.

Everything else stems from that.  GTL was just a loser that happened to be here at the time.  Ataraxia was one of the Hugh crew, if not Hugh himself, but was using a clean IP, so I still don't know who it was...So I go to my default position:  Blame Hugh.

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."

A Tucsonite is like a Christian in several important ways.  For one thing, they believe what they say about their god in the most literal, straightfaced way possible.  For another, they both know their god can hear them.  The difference between the two, however, is quite vast in terms of their relationship with their god; Christians believe in His benevolence, but Tucsonites KNOW of The City's spite and hate.

I think Ataraxia was a real person, but was quickly fed information by Hugh and likely several others (Eldora, for example) via PM and went off half-cocked at TGRR, Machine Grind Dream and ECH, calling upon all the "good" board members to ignore and ostracize them, for some contrived reason.

I also remember drunkenly trolling his thread, demanding to be added to the list.

IIRC, there is a civil war history thread buried around here somewhere.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

My history didn't deal with this event, though someone elses might.

I should actually write some sort of attempted objective version of what happened.  Maybe.  Someday.  When I'm not busy.

I thought your take on the events of the Civil War were very objective. Factual, even.

Thanks.

What I meant to say, before I had a mental fart and typed that sentence, was that my account was lacking in terms of describing several key and minor events, in favour of style.  So a Fully Full Account (for Fullness) still needs to be done.

Also, I originally thought this thread was about the American Civil War.  Which confused me, as I was pretty sure everyone from that war was now dead.

As opposed to the English Civil War, whose participants are Really Really Dead (for Deadness).
