Not like I was the most scrupulous at hiding it, either (pot, hallucinogens mostly – easier to come by than alcohol when I was a minor! – another great reason to legalize). I mean I’d be great (or so I thought) 80% of the time acting it cool, but eventually they caught on 90% of the time. They never had to worry about this awkward geek being a teenage dad though… and that’s all I’ll say about the teenage angst and hell that was high school. » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 6:35 pm I read those all. I love you guys, so clever! I had a few snorts of glee (that just didn’t sound right, did it?). » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 12:49 am PK, that is BS. You’ve never done anything provocative as far as I can remember. Honestly, do they do this like a sick authoritarian regime: you know, taking a good one and summarily dispensing with them to keep the others in line as a warning? I’d sure like to think it was a mistake. Others have been banned like K7 and BSM which I thought were ridiculous bannings, but that maybe the mods felt threatened by being called out on their BS. With you, I’m at a loss to come up with a motive. » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 12:44 am Yeah, I was trying to go through to see if I ever had when I was new or something. But, they’ve changed the profiles around. » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 12:40 am Indeed, I have a similar list, only on mine are a whole bunch of foreign papers too. Just have to say that Counterpunch is a little woo-woo for me sometimes. They lost me with the IRI apologists. » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 12:38 am BTW, how do you report someone now? » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 11:07 pm Were you there for the Africa trip? I remember that being pretty bad. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 11:04 pm Yes, KQuark. I have no friggin’ clue which campaign THEY were watching. I think they just sort of started seeing what they wanted to see in him; whereas I paid attention, read about him, and never had any illusions about who he would be. If anything I’ve been disappointed with some bone-headed appointments, and other strategic blunders on policy, but the ones that freak me out are the ones who seem to have completely forgotten his stance on Afghanistan and thinking he’s betrayed them by not pulling troops out! That and many other things that aren’t grounded in any reality whatsoever. I think they just climbed aboard the hope express, nothing wrong with that, but I admit to being a cynical Obama voter, who simply saw him as the lesser of all evils who could actually get elected. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 11:00 pm Yeah, that’s what I thought too, but he hasn’t turned out so well on that strategy. In any case, “mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all” Queen Arianna needs to get over herself. I can’t believe there was a time when I mildly liked her (is it okay to confess to that?). Now I just see her as a yellow journalist and opportunist. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:53 pm The day I will forever remember in infamy (it was a weekend) is when someone with the most racist and sexually explicit Barack/Michelle/Daughters monikers (’cause they’d keep coming back) posted the whole Constitution for two-three hours and went generally full melt-down mode apeshit! I to this day have not seen a troll that literally unhinged. Like worse than Bachmann, actual hospitalization material. I also remember a few occasions with Stormfronters (and no, I’m not kidding, I think they really were). And the early occasions of the more devious trolls trying to convince me they were really a lib but defending the witchdoctor thing of Obama: I shredded them a new one for such specious apologetics. Me though, I was pretty quick to the game in figuring out that any mention of ACORN means conservitroll! » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:48 pm Yes escribacat, that is the one. May have the best of intentions but they are insufferably misguided. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:33 pm I was like the complete opposite of you! 😉 But yes, I got “sick and tired of being sick and tired” (as they say) all the time too. I’m not all good, but I set limits for myself now and keep my “recreational activities” low occurrence. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:31 pm That’s where I’ve been. It just wasn’t as fun anymore, except on occasion or special event. I do like not battling with so many hangovers and “recovery time” anymore. Plus even getting modestly older now, I can’t spring back the next day (and even do it all over) like I did in my early 20’s. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:25 pm I got sent to pending for adding a x2 to a simple ‘No’ to the ridiculous question. Honestly, why does the queen need to moderate so heavily on her own sensationalism? Maybe she should mod her own blog entries first! » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:17 pm Her one tonight is nearly as odious. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:13 pm Oh yes, now I know exactly what type you’re talking about with that example. My nemesis on occasion like this has been the one with the fairy wing avatar. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:11 pm Well, actually, I shouldn’t say left with them. Our resident PUMA went to Palin after Hillary. And no, there wasn’t a significant difference, not as big as one that they played up, at least. In any case, as a Dem I would have voted for whoever won the primaries, and I have to really wonder about those. After all, the Greens had a woman, and they didn’t go for her! » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:08 pm Yeah, they can be a bit much. They don’t realize that they often represent the same things they decry. I, for instance, got annoyed with all the criticism over GOP purity tests, and then the same behavior on the left by the same types of people. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:03 pm I remember when I was new to the game – I’d always thought it was a progressive site – and seeing comments that I took at face value. One that had me perplexed was someone claiming to be a mental health worker complaining that most with mental health issues were faking and freeloaders. I politely corrected them… Oh, how far I’ve come from my na » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:00 pm You mean like the PUMAS? » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 9:50 pm Oh my lord, dead on. I have to go online, because I would drive everyone crazy … “there he goes again with his ‘politics'” … Even more so with foreign policy minutia. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 5:22 pm Great Trollology. What is to add? And yes, I detest bullies. I developed quite a sharp tongue. With bullies in the real world though, that just makes them frustrated and humiliated, so they have to make up for their intellectual inferiority physically. I’m torn too. For the most part I’d rather ignore them, but on occasion, when they’re scrapping with me on a topic I feel really passionate about, I don’t suffer them. Ditto on the other ‘friends’ – it is sorta pathetic to say that, I know – but I started hanging around in the threads for the same reason. I learn more from them than the article most of the time. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 5:16 pm Not at all. 😉 I can get a complex myself. However; I can take comfort that there are a few issues trolls best not tangle with me on. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 5:06 pm Hi, I’m Rob-S, and I’m a Moderatorholic I approve. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 10:36 pm Somebody half-a-year ago – and I was too new to realize it was prob a sock, posted the funniest satire ad on how to become a mod. I still have it on my comp, but lost the url link… I’m just sayin’; this was maybe too cute to do justice! 😉 » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 9:48 pm Wow, it’s like my visit here today has been really easy on me. I almost feel compelled to write a paragraph post just to keep up appearances, but there’s no need. Y’all’ve already distilled the very same observations I’ve made independently. » Posted By Khirad On November 23, 2009 @ 5:30 pm Destroying Religion: The Essential Task at Hand? Summed it up the most succinctly I’ve seen it done in a while. Me, I’m usually tempted to drone on. But, it can suffice to be left at that. » Posted By Khirad On December 4, 2009 @ 11:19 pm I so have that on my computer now. » Posted By Khirad On December 4, 2009 @ 11:16 pm Forgive my snark in the midst of a serious point, but it kinda does (though of course not with any real power): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Democratic_Party_of_Germany » Posted By Khirad On November 25, 2009 @ 9:20 pmComments Posted By Khirad
