I like Demiurge. I'm hoping it was just a "straw that broke the camel's back" kind of week, and he'll be back. We've all had them.
I feel mixed. I don't want him to leave. At the same time, he isn't as logical as he used to be, and thus isn't as high a quality poster. He is excellent though. Yay.
His presence here is very important. He shouldn't leave. Unless he was looking for a bullshit reason - in which case he's gone. So, it wasn't man-boy love (unless it's what you wanted to see, then, a kid eating a guy's digested cuddlefish might turn you on I guess), it passed the state sensors (how nice of them), it was directly on point (you could not have found a still or frame more responsive to apple's terms and condition agreement, plus it was satire/parody (which gets a little extra leeway even by the courts).
My dad went out for cigarettes and never came back, yet he sends me a Christmas card every year from a different place! Isn't that weird?
Geez what a wuss. If I ever run across him again on another board, I 'll make sure to post that photo just to see his reaction.
So I've known Demi for more than 20 years at this point. Hell he brought me to TrekBBS back in the day. He over-reacts sometimes, but he's also pretty smart when he wants to be. I'm thinking he's either trying to prove a point, or his kid saw the screen. Take your pick as to which it is; but this certainly isn't the first time he's pulled some sort of drama like this for reasons other than the obvious.
Goddamn, I think Sokar was onto something when he said this place has been infested with pussies. First Captain X's kneejerking snitching, then Turdin running away with his tail between his legs, and now this. If he wanted to leave and lock his account, then just do what Marso did and contact the mods.
