A serious question for Ancalagon...

Lum de dum te dum...

*Jabs a flash drive into the back of my neck, fills it up, jams it into your neck*

There's Cornetto trilogy, Avengers films up to "Guardians Of The Galaxy", George Romero zombie cycle, Hannibal canon, the entire run of "Bullshit!", the Millennium trilogy with the audio and subtitles mentally fused into a perfect translation, the Hitchhiker's quintilogy mentally converted into films, and George Carlin's katra.

Empty disk space is a dangerous thing around me.

I think I've probably got it set to whatever shows the most posts per page. Makes it easier to multi-quote.

So, the Official Story is "See? We banned Castle and a whole bunch of former posters came back...almost like magic."

Neglecting to mention that the ban was accompanied by a blitz of contacting veteran posters and asking them to come back.

I note this more recent drama has neither driven the veterans away nor had any impact on new members. So, null effect.

Nevertheless, Anc will have to find a reason other than "She annoys me" to ban me next, because banning two right-wing posters in sequence won't look good on his résumé.

The contortions should be entertaining.

Whose the second right-winger to be banned?

Ancalagon's unpardonable sin in relation to Garamet is in not *needing* her. He didn't come to her in a one-down position, beseeching her for help. That's the script. If he were a fat Trekkie trying to get her to ghostwrite his half-written outline for a new Trek novel, then it would be different. That's where she feels comfortable, a position of power where she can dictate her terms to others. Garamet doesn't really want anyone sexually, rather she's an emotional vampire.

OTOH......Anc is an unapologetic douchebag. So, there's that.

If he hadn't spelled it out, I'm sure we'd never have guessed but, at a guess, I'd say it's someone whose name rhymes with "hatin'."

What's interesting is that Our Boy has no problem with the real derpists like Flashy.

You know that extra weight is gonna kill you eventually, right?

You're way off on this. If we want to ban a liberal, it will be terarun pony or whatever her name is, because she got in line ahead of you on proclaiming that a ban would be coming her way. Neither of you have much to worry, unless you honestly think you are a liberal version of Castle, in which case you probably have all kinds of paranoid delusions.

Oh, I realize it won't actually happen without some sort of special parsing of the rules a la the Tamar regime.

I just find the "Castle, garamet and Dayton are equally bad for the board" implied here amusing.

Perhaps there's a list somewhere of posters who have left WF "because garamet's such a terrible poster"?

Seriously, what the hell is this thread about?

I thought it was about @John posting random memes.

It's yet another of Volpone's "I wish I knew how to quit you" threads. He hates it here so much he can't stay away, and this is his definition of "relevant content."

I'll give him points for trolling two gingers with a single thread, though.

He's only posted twice in it though?

That's part of the game. No matter what direction the rest of us take it in, he'll come back eventually and announce that we're all his puppets and we're doing exactly what he expected us to do.

We're just playing stream-of-consciousness in and around his predictability.

It is.

Or he put up an insincere thread and you well and truly bit?

Personally, I don't give much credit to this kind of theory. Yeah, he and a few others like the idea, but really, this kind of thread is just a rambling conversation that followed the initial response to OP. People addressed his statement, then moved on. The thread is always controlled by the people who post in it.

Oh, that'll be his claim; it always is. But you can see how seriously we're taking him.

So what's next, recipes?

Garamet, naturally. The world is her mirror.

garamet is enjoying all the attention. It's her only source of validation.

It's going to steal my soul if I eat it, isn't it? This has been your plan all along hasn't it? I knew it.

How the fuck is this thread five pages long?

The better question is why isn't it a six page thread yet?

Because not taking the bait works.

Change your settings -- I'm on page 8!

OM!!!
