Maybe someone should "net-stomp" me, teach me a lesson.

It's a waste of her time to even talk to you, much less call you out.

I got a "net-sassin" once, and barely survived it, I suppose a "net-stomping" might be a little more serious.

You were an asshole who got personal, and received personal in return.

And therein lies the problem.  Blind allegiance.

Whatever happened to Think For Yourself, Schmuck?

A man who I still argue with, who called me nearly every week for /years/, who has forgiven me plenty of bullshit. That's called friendship, but what would you know of it?

I haven't said shit about anyone's father.

You buy in blindly to the strawmen built by your heroes.

No, I believe what a friend tells me. But what would you know about the friendships of people in this community? You're just a /random stranger/.

What about doing something about the spine, which could really use improvement IMO?

Also, gestation and birth... surely, there are ways to improve THAT.

Also, yes to changing sex.

Spine needs a Hero Shrew upgrade.



Gestation and birth...how about going the way of marsupials? Except the pouch would develop during pregnancy and disappear after the baby is weaned.

And as long as we're modifying things for fun and convenience, maybe we can make breasts that go away when we aren't using them, because seriously c'mon.

Agreed. Human morphology should be functional and fabulous.

Kai, You have absolutely no idea of what you are talking about.  But if you can link up that claim, that I started the dragging of people's personal lives into drug threads, I will leave.

Show me where I dragged people's kids, wives, or ex-wives into the debate. 

And then explain to me why you think that is justifiable.

I see, people's fathers don't count. Beautiful. Just get out.

On second thought, I'm okay with him being erased. That way I don't have to be reminded of my gullibility. Reverend who? I've already forgotten. Not like he was anything substantive anyway. This was all a great big game of pretend life.

The community got exactly what it wanted.  After it decided that I was a villain because of my views and opinions, I became a villain.  Go back and look at those drug threads, look at how everyone froths at the mouth to get personal digs in, dragging in some very personal aspects of my personnel life.  And tell me this isn't what they wanted, including the people you look up to.

Let's be honest here: you became a /nuisance/. If you weren't one always. The drug threads were simply the place where your hypocrisy shone the brightest. They dragged the personal in when /you/ did, because you seemed to think that tactic was acceptable, which bit you in the ass.

One of my friends once sat down and tried to speculate about what would happen if you were to modify the appendix, since we don't know much about what it does other than if helps to propagate certain bacteria. This of course ended in theorizing how to make women lactate beer, because of course it did.

Weak. The appendix is a microbiome storage system. If your gut fauna gets wiped out by disease or antibacterials, your appendix is the center of recolonization.

Also, beer lactation? Weak. How about appendage asymmetry? How about armoring the brain and putting it in the center of the body? How about fiddling around with the gonosomes so that people can change sex like clown fish? You dream small. I dream of insects the size of a mobile home.

I started The Discordian Network before we did the BIP.  Don't remember the exact date or anything but I think it was sometime in 2006

Funny that. And yet you're a random stranger. Shows just how little this community means to you. So leave already.

And no, we don't delete accounts.

HMMMM. From what I've heard, It can and has been done in the past.

Actually, no. At least, not under the current regime. I can't speak for what may have happened when Lauren ran the place.

Lauren ran the place from, let's say, 2008-2012? SRS question just wondering

Pre-2006? My memory get's fuzzy near the beginning. When did the Discordian Network get started? That was about the time that Lauren gave up. Hustle has been running the place for a long time, with essentially the same mod team.

Edit: I'd prefer he just leave anyway. No need to start a precedent.

I don't pretend to be an expert of particularly well-versed on the subject, I just have a question for you people:

Have you ever, in your life, noticed that people with fibromyalgia often, not always, but often are sensitive and passive aggressive day to day? Do you have it and have a thought on that question?

I hesitiate to even ask, but it's either something like a symptom or I'm Lo5ing over here.

Something I saw today which is relevant. http://www.intidyn.com/Newsroom/article-0009.html

I've also read the paper. Unless they fabricated the data, which is unlikely, fibromyalgia is characterized by abnormally large arteriovascular shunts with excess innervation. These shunts are found in the skin, bypassing capillaries and used for managing temperature response. Not only is there an excess of AV shunt innervation in FM patients, the nerve fibers are biased towards a particular kind. While the mechanisms are not completely understood, this morphology manifests symptoms such as pain and pain sensitivity, among other things. It also explains why the pain is linked to temperature, and why selective norepinepherine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) can relieve symptoms, and other more distantly related aspects such as muscle fatigue.

I wager people with fibromyalgia are at the end of their ropes, especially since they often aren't taken seriously.

There is no hypocrisy.  All I was saying was that we are allies in the sense that we have a common enemy.  I'm not allowed to receive any financial support from them, and they REALLY want to fund the opposition.  And I wouldn't formally align with them because they'd turn around and try to sabatoge our efforts to change policies to reduce access to alcohol.

You are allies, you aren't allies, you are allies. Sounds like an onion to me. Leave.

Phox left because of THAT asswipe?
That sucks. Because Phoxy could net-stomp RWHN with both hands tied behind her back.

I know, I know, not even worth the effort.

FUCK.

It was the main contributing factor. I probably shouldn't have said anything, but I'm just so sick of this, it's turning the place nasty.

I mean, Jesus Christ, how old are you? 
Net-Stomp.
I mean, I'm glad you have a jolly time here in Teh Wonderful World of Make-Believe, but for chrissakes wake up. 
All this huff and puff on this site about how broken and fucked everything is here and you guys get your panties in a twist over a random stranger spag who thinks a little differently thant you.  obsessing over "net-stomping" that spag.
C'mon, don't you see how fucked that is?  How about some IRL stomping of some actual problems in the world.
Stop being so fucking pathetic.

That's the problem, though, isn't it? May 19th, 2005. That's more than 8 years I've known you. And yet you play yourself off as a random stranger. Miserable excuse for a friend, is what it is. Pathetic, yes, is what it is. Miserable fake. I became an adult here. I learned how to write and think critically here. I worked through some of the toughest, stupidest shit in my life with these folks, which is admittedly little shits compared to others, but it's my shit, and I /owned/ it. And I met the love of my life here. And as many times as I've been ticked off at Roger, or Cain, or Nigel, or the inverse, I still hold the deepest respect for them, value them as people, think only the best of them, which is probably why it hurts so much when we don't get along.

But you? You were apparently never even a person, for all I thought I knew you. Leave.

Wow, here's another. The mathematics behind mammal urination have been discovered:

What the hell is going on, I mean seriously.

New Scientist.

Also, http://arxiv.org/abs/1310.3737 Something not quite right about that paper. It has only an introduction.

[I was a bit of a weirdo, but I was the straight-A, college prep kid.]

Your point is moot. Why? I don't care, that's why. Obviously Kurt Cobain didn't care, since he took a lot of drugs and then offed himself. Course, he was over the age of 18, so you don't really care either.

That's a very easy judgement for you to make.  How do you know he didn't care?  Drug addiction is a disease of the brain, it isn't so cut and dry to just say that someone doesn't care.  Same with suicide.  He was a person who certainly had some mental health issues that were not being addressed.

You seem to be operating under the assumption of Cartesian duality; whether he was ill or depressed, he still didn't care. Which is irrelevant; I sure know /you/ don't care (the point). You've said as much before, that your moral community doesn't include anyone over the age of 18.

You can talk all day how you think Nirvana was the most influential, greatest band or whatever, but when it comes down to it, none of us agree with you.

That's okay.  But there are many, many who do agree with me, including many professionals in the music industry, and they will be inducted first ballot. 

The HoF is irrelevant to deciding what is worth listening to.

I frankly don't understand it, and I don't think I would unless I was part of that pseudo-rebellious scene. [size=78%]And it's a bit funny to me you identify with them[/size][/size]

I wasn't part of any "pseudo-rebellious" scene and it was plain as day to me. I was a bit of a weirdo, but I was the straight-A, college prep kid.  I was a hair metal fan, and still am a fan of that music.  But hair metal is party music, it is very surface-level.  For kids with a bit more of an EQ, a band like Nirvana hit all of the right marks.  it was a bit deeper than, "Hey let's get drunk and fuck!".  Not that there is anything wrong with that ( KISS ), but it isn't very deep.

Thus the pseudo-rebellion. Pseudo being a common prefix meaning "false". You.../do/ know that, right?

On the other hand, you also seem to have allies in the alcohol industry. Like an onion, you have many layers of hypocrisy.

Having a common enemy and being allies are two very different things.

Sure they are. And at 10:52 PM on October 8th, 2013, you said, and I quote, "So I took a public jab at the folks at MPP and gained an interesting new ally.  The liquor industry. " Your words. Now, I couldn't care less who your "bedfellows" are. To me, it's just another layer of hypocrisy, just another reason to dislike you. Phox left because of your nonsense, and I doubt she is coming back. So what I want is for you to leave, and to not come back.
