I am being a dick for asking a question?

I can't help thinking that the folks who are so quick to jump on me for ASKING A QUESTION are the super sensitive, delicate ones here.

But you are right. No told me to take down my question. I have just been pommeled for asking it.

That's not censorship.

Nor was my question censorship.

So we can lay this to rest now, right?

Besides, I am quite happy. I have achieved my goal. To let the hypothetical person(s) I am worried about know that blankfist's comment wasn't funny and that someone out in cyberspace recognizes that it might be extraordinarily painful and scary to read it. That someone has their back. It would have been nicer for them if they didn't have to wade through blankfist in the first place, but hey. At least there is a counterpoint.

No censorship required. And certainly no need to beat me up for asking a question.





>> ^Dignant_Pink:

i find it really funny that you think you're being censored. you're the only one here who SPECIFICALLY asked another person to delete their comment. nobody wants you to delete yours, they just want you to stop being a dick. apparently you're some hero who's fighting the good fight against spousal abuse, like some light in the darkness. really, you're just a dick. kindly stop being a dick.

And hey, you believe in no censorship, right?
So stop trying to censor me, please.
(Your joke about his fiancee, by the way, is mildly humorous. So it isn't the subject matter that bothers me.)

"Shave and get drunk because you're already brilliant!"
That's gonna be the title of my autobiography

Are you sure? Are you sure it's not gonna be titled "A long and boring life on the internet"?
(cuz if not I'm takin' it)


Actually, "A long and boring life on the internet; Social anthropology in cyberspace" is the book I'm currently writing while working undercover. My tentative conclusion is 'They're all social misfits and losers'.

ps. be sure not to tell this to any of these social misfits and losers before it's published.

Love is a strange thing. A twirling TV set or scissors, or let it out, or manipulations of vibrations in the air produced by voices accompanied with air vibrating tools. Love lost and grieved. Love imagined. Love consumated in cyberspace or in bed. Evol love backward.

In many ways, the 80's were a lot more sci-fi than today, toying with style and the prospect of cool tech and dreams of globally connected computers and AI. The advent of the real cyberspace made us lazy, anonymous and bitter, not happy people with insane haircuts. And trenchcoats! The matrix could have helped reviving trenchcoats had they not ruined it by releasing sequels

I feel sidetrekked - upvote for song, 80's and the haircut

Why don't we have more cyberspace mega-hits?

I'm sorry. I guess I forgot that one. I was probably going through your recent comments and downvoted because you sent a *kiss to someone through cyberspace and I thought that was pretty silly. I only saw your poem because someone told me about it. I don't read anyone's blogs, so don't feel bad. I still think you're super.

Have a good one.

In reply to this comment by UsesProzac:
Never read my blog before, eh? So when you were downvoting a comment that I made in my own blog, you weren't reading my blog? You were just randomly downvoting from my comments posted section? Ahh. Ok.

You're either a flippant liar or you honestly don't remember most of the shit you say and do.

Here's a loving link as proof of your lie.

You know you're a good egg, right? And you're a smart egg too, because you know I've been drinking. Again.

But you're still one of the best chicks out there. Not just in cyberspace, but the whole fucking universe. And when I wake up sober (and hung over) tomorrow morning, I'll write it again.

If nothing else, take the compliment. Why not? Do you think you don't deserve it? I may be inebriated right now, but just like Forrest Gump, I know what love is.

Stun.

(No silly asterisk. I also know what the real world is.)

You don't need to respond in kind. I'm not looking for reciprocity. Not an itinerary confirmation number from Expedia. Not a commitment of any kind. Just honesty.

Sorry if I've embarrassed you already, but that's how I roll. Words first, recriminations later. Thankfully I subscribe to Word of the Day. And that I've met you.

John

God, I fucking love it when you get drunk

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
LOL! You just figured that out!?

Okay, okay; I'm done laughing at you. You are one of my favorite chicks. Period. Not just online, but offline too. Not just in Britain, but the whole fucking planet. I love your direct, honest style. You don't pull any punches; you just tell it like it is. (Quite surprising for someone of British ancestry. Most Brits rely on sarcasm and dry humor to effetely express their opinions, but not you. In other words, you're a Brit with a dick. (Wait, that's not good for a chick, is it?))

Okay, if you've had enough of my American wiseass, I'll understand. Lord knows my ex-wife and numerous ex-girlfriends already have. But if you can read between the lines then you should already know that I think you're someone special. If I were ever to purchase a plane ticket to fly across the pond, it would be solely to meet you. Fuck the tour of Winchester Cathedral; fuck Buckingham Palace. I wouldn't care if you lived in a refrigerator box in the London Underground. Just give me the stop, because I'd be there.

Hopefully this unabashed declaration of love will be the new talk of the town, therefore drowning out all the negativity from the recent banishments. The internet is big, but VideoSift is a Peyton Place.

Like I said, you're the bees knees. And bees are the shit.

You know that choggie will be back... and much stronger than before.
You people take the sift to serious. The sift is after all a clustering of binary digits in the vastness of cyberspace. It is a collection of XML, HTML, Data Tables, (C# Java or some other behind language) Transact SQL... I digress.
Any way Choggie(his name makes me think of haggish) will always push the limits of the rules, that is what many of us do, and some of us will break those rules.
Ad Hominem here Beware:
Just because some of you (I wrote it) got offended or hurt by him shows that you care to much for what may be going on in this social experiment.


I really hate that as an argument when people are rude or verbally abusive online. "Oh, you're taking it all too seriously, this isn't real life".

Well screw that, I really don't think people should get some free pass to be complete dicks just because we aren't face to face, that's a great way to create an environment that people don't want to have discussions in.

Be civil everywhere, in 'real' life, online, on the phone, via letters... it's just decent dammit.

Well apparently eating apples isn't the popular thing to do.


"Withdrawing from cyberspace" is why I downvoted. I thought that in order to post comments on the internet at all, you have to be a pasty faced hermit. And you can NEVER eat something as healthy as an apple! Try Top Ramen and Jolt.

I'm particular to apples of the Gala type. I don't really eat in front of the computer. In fact I'm finding myself more and more withdrawn into life outside of cyberspace. Crazy init.

upvote for the crystal palace of cyberspace.

my branch's short-sighted approach to advertising, gets a downvote.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Still waiting for real cyberspace. 2nd Life is a distraction at best.
