7/31 [ no, see, you need to restore the entire thread. ] \_ Grow up you self-righteous little worm and stop seeing so called censorship everywhere. It was a partial restore because that was what was easily extractable from the logs. If you want to do better, then restore everything yourself. It was clear this was not an ideologically driven edit. \_ I don't care whether it was ideologically driven, petty, or another kind of edit. Whenever it happens, surrounding context will get nuked. End of story. Don't edit other people's shit. \_ Yep, temper tantrum. \_ Hey little worm, do you understand this is not a matter of any "editing"...it's a matter of a best effort *restore*. You are punishing the wrong person. It probably isn't worth my time to catch you doing this, but let's not beat around the bush and pretend there is some principle in what you are doing. \_ No, *this* is the temper tantrum. \_ No, this is aggrivation. \_ And this is bad spelling. \_ Shrug. Not my thread, not my posts. I just restored as a public service. Why don't you restore what I missed, if it means so much to you? Don't know how to run rcs, do you? \_ Nuking all discussion as a response to partial deletes is much more effective than restores. \_ great, now we have an effective way to get rid of trolls \_ Gee, and I thought you were just a child throwing a temper tantrum. \_ Nuking all discussion as a response to anything is stupid. Restoring the damaged thread to an undamaged state immediately and without comment is the best way to fight childish partial deletes and the typical not-at-all-funny edits on the motd. \_ Not all discussion, just the thread in question. The reasoning goes like this: any edit (except accidental ones) whether ideological, joke, etc entails a lack of respect for what the (edited) person had to say. Why should that person be singled out for said lack of respect? Let's apply it uniformly. The environment we are shooting for is "edit someone's post -> no one gets to have any more fun." \_ You need to make a distinction between ideological edits and partial restores because a thread was "damaged" ... partial edits, then added to, then partial restores etc ... which someone tries to unideologically restore the bulk of rather than leaving it truncated. \_ I appreciate the attempt at public service, but frankly, if you are just restoring a truncated version then don't bother. It has the same effect as just leaving partial edits be. I am not going to let partial edits be. |

6/16 SEVEN SINS is a theatrical experience somewhere between performance art and stand-up comedy. At each performance seven performers take the stage for ten minutes a piece to tell the audience an autobiographic and funny story. All of the stories in each show are loosely tied to one of the seven deadly sins: ENVY, GREED, PRIDE, LUST, SLOTH, WRATH and GLUTTONY. For instance, opening night will feature LUST. The cast and the sin change with each show, although some performers repeat. On the eighth and ninth performances, we'll encore the best performances in two shows recapping all of the sins. Running time is approximately 70 minutes - no intermission. All performance will be held at Venue 9. LUST (June 9th), ENVY (June 16th), GREED (June 23rd), SLOTH (June 30th), PRIDE (JULY 7th), WRATH (JULY 14th) and GLUTTONY (JULY 21st) \_ FLATTULENCE (every day) |

Most of the people who think it's funny are just going along with the crow. They have _no idea_ what would be funny about it except everyone else is laughing so they do, too. The odds of so many people knowing the original game reference is about zero. However, this is a very interesting (to me) item to note about people's need to fit in socially, no matter what. You simply stand out as one of the people who doesn't have such an overwhelming desire to fit that you'd pretend to laugh at something that left you baffled like so many other clowns spewing "all your base..." all over the net. Feel better about yourself. The rest are sheep. \_ The video's funny.

We'll be back for you tonight) \_ thus proving all lives are basically the same since be almost funny and running it DIRECTLY inro the junior _is_ going to go through what his mom did. \_ Sigh. Do you enjoy taking something that could be almost funny and running it DIRECTLY into the ground? \_ Yes, I do. Why do you ask? \_ It's funny to see geeks trying to talk tough. \_ How many mommies and daddies are willing to pay through the nose to get their kids to shutup for 92 minutes?

5/21 David Letterman is really funny. You are not. \_ your point? \_ I think this person's point is clear. David Letterman is the Voltaire of our day. An individual with unprecedented powers of wit and humor. We all pale in comparison with Dave. Is that so hard to understand, dill weed? |
