See. You can do it if you try.

Seriously, Kiwi, I laugh at myself probably between 10 to 20 times a day, stop taking me so seriously! :P

I have no idea if I'll get 'sent to my room' for this post, sadly. But I'm posting it anyway because I feel there are legitimate issues being discussed in it. It's long, yes, but I do not see an easy way to shorten it. I hope Lsuoma is willing to discuss this before he takes immediate action. I have...

Hehe. The sad thing is I'm not kidding with the objection or making it up. I really do think it's a problem in society.

Hmmm. Why should I start a dedicated thread? Why don't you start one of your own? Ah, because that would be self-censorship? I see. Well, that's the same reason I'm discussing this in the thread that gets all the traffic too. Why should I 'go and stand in the corner'? Why don't you? Because that's ...

Wonderist - if you don't stop dropping you massive, stinking, self-obsessed turds in this forum, I'm going to push you to one of your own, and revoke your posting rights in every other one. Then you can engage with people who choose to engage with you, rather than waving your gigantic text dick in ...

Well, at least there's no personal attack. I'm ready to drop it, then.

Its a pain in the ass to get paid, at least at SciBlogs (doesnt help that they are always several months behind). My first year I ended up owing a lot in taxes because I didnt understand how I could deduct part of my internet/computer expenses as business costs, and no one ever gets paid enough to ...

Ok, so now it seems we've got 3 options on the table for blog hosting: 1) Renee 2) Skeeve 3) Lsuoma How do we decide which option is best? :/ Cage match to the death. Three go in, one comes out. I hope we can somehow avoid it being a win/lose proposition. Perhaps there's a way to collaborate, or to...

I think anything with the word 'Slyme' in it would be good. The reason is, it will show people that we are not evil misogynists and at the same time attract the FtB trolls so we can have fun with them. Those that hate us anyway will not be relevant. I could do a couple of blogs a day with the stuff...

And as far as what you call your blog network, I would suggest trying to keep that focus to a degree. For example, Justin V. has done a lot of good work. He let the gender wars consume him, so for time periods a good bulk of his posts were about the gender wars/rift. He let his adversaries define h...

I think this was the spur I needed. I have a shit ton of space on my server. It's just a matter of installing WP in a network mode and getting things rolling. Checking into that now. Have no idea what to call it though. Had a couple ideas on this a couple weeks ago, after watching Man of Steel. Can...

Stupid, fearful, reactionary. Unskeptical. Looks like we need a new blog network. Lsuoma? Anyone else?
I don't have enough electrons to accommodate you, chum.

Seems to be doing fine so far. I have fewer posts than many here, and not all of them are long, just usually the anti-drama ones.

Another ad hom, another disparaging of mental health issues. Yes, I recognize the cuckoo bird. No, it's not going to bother me. It just goes further to prove my point that you have nothing to respond with but flame bait.

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd241/gumbythecat/Slymepit/winning_zpse631cb00.jpg This is a good example of the deep misunderstanding of mental health I was referring to earlier.

Anytime you want to actually address any of my points or questions, feel free, bhoytony. The ad homs are pointless, though.

Thatâ€™s your problem. You seem to believe that there is a substantial difference between saying: Okay, that's a fair point. I can understand that.I would never do that (butt in on an unrelated site/conversation), but I can understand that you don't know me well enough, and so you don't trust me. F...

He's a lost cause. Curious. How could you possibly know that one way or the other? The obvious avenue of influencing me, which I've repeatedly identified as evidence-based reasoning, is the very avenue you've never bothered to try with me. I've corrected myself many times when *shown* to be wrong. ...

Just ignoring my responses would be easier.

Have you stopped to ponder if maybe your obsession with sapping the energy out of Welch is a manifestation of neurosis. No, I haven't, because it's a deliberate strategy, and welch is not the first I've used it with. I've used it a lot with franc/felch, for instance. I figure, if I can handle anyth...

Why is it so important to you to engage in conversation with someone who flames you? It's not. What makes you think that? I have also said to him he could just stop flaming, or he could ignore me altogether. I have no extraordinary desire to discuss anything in particular with him at this point (th...

Good luck with that. you've proven my point about what you really care about in any discussion better than I possibly could.

Second, definitely. Love the slogan.

IMO if a person is on speed they should be cleaning their house (literally) instead of posting on forums. And that's all I have to say about that. If you're referring to me, it's methylphenidate, not speed. It's a stimulant, yes, but has different characteristics than you're alluding to. And, I'm a...

I've never understood the whole 'tl:dr' on internet forums - no one is posting a novel, and it only takes a few minutes to read a few thousand words.

The AAH doesn't really stand up (heh) under closer scrutiny, for one the timeline is wrong with bipedality and big brains / loss of fur evolving millions of years apart.

Well, the only tip I have is to try and strip out possible redundant statements. The issue I have is that it takes me three times as long than if I just transcribed what I was thinking. Sometimes, perhaps I also strip out too much. Yes, that's a big issue for me too. Perhaps it may link once again ...

Trigger warning: More long and boring anti-drama Honestly, had you continued commenting on "dissention", I'd have cratered the entire thing.
