Goddammit. Weird. Fuck. Thanks Dave, I fucking hate words that don't follow the rules (even when the rules are stupid in the first place).

I before E except after whenever.

I before E
Except after C
Or when sounded as "A"
As in "neighbor" or "weigh"

See! Rote memorization does work!

So explain 'weird'. The rule makes sense, but the word doesn't.

megmeg is someone we know, i can feel it.....the little list smacks of someone familiar...
sycamore? you like lists

slang might be too obvious

this line is what nudged me:

6. Name calling ensued.

other clue:

toad banned ditto's ip, but megmeg started it and was just as bratty......

Meaning that ditto and megmeg were Onyx alter-egos all along? Or am I misunderstanding you? I wouldn't recommend deleting anything, this kind of stuff needs to be left intact, as a reminder.

Huh? what posts? ALL her posts?

Requests like that trouble me. They're akin to censoring. If you regret ever having contributed... too bad. You did it. Just fail to contribute in the future, and we'll all move on. Deleting the posts would take away from the contributions of othes, too, like in scenarios where said person is a thread-starter.

But the real question is, why does this person want all their posts deleted? To what purpose?

We all get a little paranoid or grumpy sometimes but the thread history is one of the coolest things about this place and if it keeps Syc from getting elected governor, its all good.

Very well, new users are email-verified and moderated.

That is a time sink and it sucks that you have to do that.

I've heard of asking for posts and aliases to be deleted but an entire contribution history? Whoa.

Those new posters ragging on HP remind me of something... I just can't put my finger on it... there was something very familiar in that pattern.

elSicomoro · 11-20-2003, 07:27 PM

Well Griff, there goes your Chief of Staff position (or whatever I promised you)!

Griff · 11-20-2003, 07:31 PM

Wow! Just got done reading this thread. Pretty loonie bunch.
