4/18 Please stop restoring trolls that tom holub worked so hard to get rid
of! Respect tom, as he is older and wiser than you -tom #1 fan
\_ "Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd:
Fare you well; your suit is cold."
Cold, indeed; and labour lost:
Then, farewell, heat, and welcome, frost!
Soda, adieu. I have too grieved a heart
To take a tedious leave: thus holub part.
\_ sorry, kchang, I haven't done any deleting today. Your spy
script sucks as badly as your MOTD web site. -tom
\_ Tom, you really are an ass. The MOTD web site may not be
perfect and kchang may be sort of an odd guy but it is much
better of a hack and more of a resource than your twink script
or twink points or anything else you have done for the CSUA.
\_ Kchang's site is a nice service, and appreciated, but it is
not perfect, and it has done a bit of munging before. And
let's be honest, do a wc -l /etc/passwd for a rough idea
of how many potential h0z3rz you're dealing with. I know Tom
can be rough (occasionally justifiably so) but for the same
reason I think he's self-confident enough to not go around
wantonly nuking motd threads. Get off it. -John
\_ I was considering writing an asshole script for the motd,
but then tom would rate so high that it would totally
skew the graph and I'd have to go logarithmic.
\_ You guys should feel sorry for Tom. Anybody who takes the
MOTD and wallall so seriously can't have much of a life.
He's also so blind to his own problems.
\_ I love it when anonymous cowards who know nothing about
me comment on my life. -tom
\_ Tom, deanonymizing in this case would not add anything
to the discussion and would be a distraction. I don't
know anything about your life beyond soda, true, but
this is a big part of it, clearly. And there is a lot
of material here to draw conclusions from. It appears
I agree with you on many political issues, but the
vigorous and vitriolic pursuit of so many petty
squabbles seems pathetic to me. You can do what
you want with your day of course, but we all have only
24 hours at our disposal. To spend so much of it
picking on the soda little fish seems...again, the
best word is pathetic--like the school yard bully
who will never amount to much in Real Life. While
you may add "character", I believe your conduct over
the long run does harm to the soda community. I find
your pompous pontificating and especially your dissing
the efforts of so many others (while having so few
credentials or contributions yourself) especially
obnoxious. Choose to ignore that or wear that as a
badge of honor. For example, it is clear kchang is
a vastly better programmer than you are. As far as
I know, using the geek gold standard of actual code
written or bugs fixed, rather than just user interface
feedback, you are a zero.

\_ Soda community? Uh, right. For those of us who only
keep our soda accounts so we can log in and watch or
participate in idiotic, spittle-filled flame wars,
tom *definitely* adds to the soda community.
\_ gee, who's the one spending all of his time
pursuing petty squabbles? -tom
\_ Pathetic reply, Tom. -!pp
\_ How ironic. "anybody who takes the MOTD so seriously"
applies only to yourself, not tom. Tom doesn't
post all that much as a rule, but since he's signs
his name you jump on him more easily. Just like you
dumbshits did every time ilyas posted. Which is
partly why I'm anonymous. Although sometimes I wonder
why I bother spending time here. I occasionally learn
interesting things though.
\_ Too bad. I actually support deletion of political trolls.

All hail to whoever's doing that. Keep it up. |
