10/15 psb: At least two out of five Politburo members are ... well,
just being undergrads. They're trying, but surely you didn't expect
anything more?

\- 1. it may be unfair to tar the entire pburo
with the mckee brush. i wonder which pburo
member voted against the madness?
2. i am not sure they are "trying".
see e.g. "I honestly couldn't possibly care less about
people complaining of losing anonymity ..." -amckee

in case you believe i am "quoting out of context"
it was unfortune the rationale for deanonymizing
the motd was not more clearly stated and various
issues got entangled [such as the liability issue
and the unwelcoming environment/participation issue]
but the the csua president can justly be taken to
task for framing it in these adventitious terms
and attacking the out-to-lunch, spoiled, overly-
indulged, narrow-minded, self-interested alumni.
3. so i dont expect overly deep thinking about
say free speech in the abstract, but crazy stuff
like "psb is a notorious spammer and hoser for
mailing the csua mailing list about a political
matter" seems just nuts. deeper into some of the
threads on the web directory above, you cant
help speculate what it would be like to have
ms. mckee as a colleague. i wonder if ms mckee is
a famous turntablist/bboy?
\- And I can't even imagine what it must be like to work
with someone so obviously disconnected from reality
and rational thinking. Yes, making the MOTD trackable
is MADNESS. Crazy! OoOOooH! Halloween! Bats! Scary shit!
Are you even capable of perspective? I'm afraid you're
the one that sounds 'out to lunch'. But please, feel
free to libel me. I'd love nothing more than than have
an excuse to remove you on sufficient 'legal' grounds
to make even you happy. =) Have a nice day, I'm done
with talking to you ms. banerjee. I'm sure your friends
over at slashdot could use some of your attention.
\- you know, i probably read slashdot less
than 95% of the people reading this.
isnt ./ sort of focused on AssOS?
\- Well, I began to wonder about this when you wrote:
"[mrauser]s more level headed and egalitarian than
I am. My opinion is much more admittedly
draconian. I'm used to being a corporate manager
and overseeing teams of 30+ engineers scattered
across the world. That doesn't exactly work with
the consensus view of management, so I go for
autocratic. (It's okay, you can say it, I'm used
to being the resident asshole on the team - but at
least shit gets done.)"

BTW, I appreciate your letting me quote this thread.
It makes things much easier. |
