    Betcha he knows more about your country's history than you know about his.

    His information is so easy to find that there's absolutely no need to be an internet stalker to find it. I stumbled across it completely by accident, and I'm guessing several others have as well. I've got to agree with Tamar on this one.

    No one cares enough about Canada to learn about its history, anyway, including most Canadians. Also, you're presuming that I care. :diacanu:

    You have to be an internet stalker to have an interest in finding this information to begin with, let alone the part about it potentially being paraded about in a forum where it's expressly forbidden to do so. I gave Chup shit for that attitude in the past, and I'm doing the same when it comes to Tamar. :bailey:

    I'm frankly surprised - and not in a good way :brood: - at some of the individuals who've jumped on this particular dogpile, though if you'd lurked here for any length of time you'd have been aware of Tamar's M.O. But since you’re not a librul, she’ll probably just content herself with playing “neener-neener!” without siccing her jackals on you. Just don’t change your name to VisionRazor. ;)

    This is the world of adults. You don't get 'safe' here. You want 'safe', go move back in with mommy and daddy.

    Yeah, ease back on the personal info hints. This isn't the place for that.

    "We don't like your attitude, so we're gonna Tamar you until you wise up. And if you don't like it :bye:"

    This isn't Captain Butthurt and his anime spam.

    A whole bunch of you have made your position clear. Now stop acting like third-graders giggling behind your hands and back off.

    In this case the info is so easy to find that people are doing him a favor by letting him know that he should close his account and open up a new one under a different nym if it bothers him. There is a 0% chance that, hints or not, anyone here wanting to fuck with him wouldn't be able to find significant personal info currently. I'd say make it a warnable offense to accuse any newby of being a dual of his.

    Why don't you address that with the people doing it. We don't have a policy against dog piling, flaming, or trolling, in the Red Room. The personal info stuff so far is toeing the line, but just barely, so I mentioned that particular issue. The rest is just business as usual, and I suspect more of a hazing than anything else. But as I said, you are free to use your own scorn and moral outrage to condemn the folks who thought it was funny that Ohoitnik didn't understand water law.

    I'm sure they'll read my post when they revisit the thread. Well, except for Wormboy 'cause he's like, yanno, got me on Ignore and stuff.

    Or maybe overkill. Seeing as how you're trying to attract new members and all.

    I found it funny as well, and the posts were good reading, but then a bunch of you veered off into Tamar Territory.

    Unexpected, that's all. A PM saying "Hey, kid, don't leave that piece of info lying around where people can find it" would have been sufficient.

    So far we've been cool JC, I'd rather not let it get bad. I highly doubt you'd be fine with everyone making it known that your personal info easy to find and having people practically directing them where to look. If my personal shit is out there, I have a right to bitch about people dragging it out in this or any other thread. I'd also like to know how it's being found. I'd also like to know that when I visit a forum and respectfully discuss things, that my personal info is safe. I don't think that's too much to ask and I don't consider it being a cry baby.

    And it's not getting bad.

    It's already happened. Thing is, like I said, this is what this crowd does. Handle it. Or run along. Your call, and I won't say either choice is the wrong one. Shit, for a good week or so, a couple of these indecent fuckers were beasting personal photos of me in their avatars and signatures. It took me flaring the Facebook group in a faux tantrum to get the issue enough visibility that mods and admins got involved and finally put a stop to that.

    Yes, you do have a right to bitch about it. But as someone to whom it's already been done, I'm telling you, bitching does no good unless you take it to an absolutely absurd extreme. The only positive use you can make of bitching about it is using your bitching as a stick to poke them with to see how wild and woolly they'll get. And then laugh when they get wild 'n' woolly.

    It is too much to ask. It is. It shouldn't be, you're right on the money there, it shouldn't be, but it is. You've got to deal with that. That's what you have in front of you to be handled. So handle it. To someone determined enough, and resourceful enough, everything you have ever done online is there to be found and exploited.

    You can't control that now. It's already done, it's already out there. All you can do right now is control how that information is perceived. And that's where we find out how creative you are and how good an actor and/or writer you are. Now's where you play applied psychology on those who are trying to make you look bad, and on the spectators those folks are playing to. Break 'em off som'n, Shakespeare.

    What you need to understand about Wrodfrodge is simply this: The leftists here have no decency. They are not decent human beings. You oppose them, they will find every possible way there is to shit on you. There's no getting around that. Leftists have zero decency. Ever. And those here on WF offer no exceptions to that rule. They are monsters. And that's how they behave. Consistently. Year in, year out, decade in and decade out. They're fucking scum. Don't expect any more than that from them, ever. Every single one of them proves it, with every single post.

    Garamet? Never answers a simple question with a straight answer. Ever. Why? Because she's a huckster.
    Spaceturkey? Deals in strawmen. All the time. Why? Because he's a huckster.
    Gul? Same.
    Anc? Same.
    Liet? Same.

    Getting the picture? These are con artists, and con artists are scummy, lying bastards. It's how their worldview is constructed. They can't even help it, any more than a snake can help bein' a snake. Don't expect more than that from them, don't expect human behavior or human ethics from them, they aren't capable of it.

    I think John Castle just admitted to being repeatedly raped as a child by a hippie in a Che shirt. At least I can't come up with a better explanation for his most recent post in this thread.

    You? You ain't a huckster. You don't lie. You don't inveigle. You're up front, honest, and sincere with your misanthropy. Sure, you and all the others hate free, individual human beings -- but at least you, personally, are honest about that. You don't play at any bullshit nobility or faux altruism. You want human beings to suffer, and cry, and wet their pants, and smell bad, and fall down, and bark their shins, and cry some more.

    I can at least respect an honest villain.

    What warning? Like I said, Dickynoo is at least honest about his villainy. I gotta respect that. I'm not exactly a "hero" myself -- more like an "anti-hero." I don't think people are generally worth a shit, either, I just don't like to see them hurt just because some dick has the wherewithal to hurt them. It's not sporting.

    More like a moron, but hey, if you need to cling to your delusions to get by, I'm certainly not gonna fault you for that. Just don't expect the rest of us to embrace those delusions.
