--- Quote from: peterh on 23 Nov 2010, 14:59 ---while Wiregeek was, on occasion, intentionally abrasive, his attempts at abrasion couldn't hold a candle to most of the efforts of the character whose name I forgot, but who started off with an avatar of a crossed-out Dora with grown-out hair, and who now wields a blowfish as avatar.

How dare you, sir! I am _always_ intentionally abrasive!
:evil:
eyosgkxb is the name you've forgotten, I believe.
--- Quote ---Repeatedly, ad nauseam, to the point where it almost becomes the focus of his forum persona.

I yam what I yam. If I had the grunt, I'd love to dump the locked WCDT and compare my output in words posted to Tergon's, I think it would be illuminating.
--- Quote ---This is interesting behaviour, but not nearly trolling. At times, Wiregeek is rather sincere, even though you may not agree with him. He reminds me a lot of my kids when they were younger.
--- End quote ---
I have not the faintest clue how to reply to this. If you're applying this much of an analysis to me based upon my forum posting, you're probably getting a fairly accurate snapshot of my current emotional state and immediate past.
--- Quote ---Having said that, I do have an opinion about intentionally causing mayhem just for the fun of it. You probably know as well as I do that the worst idea is to 'feed the troll'. If the intent is to get you angry, and you do get angry, they've accomplished what they set out to do. Same as with kids, really.

I do have an ulterior motive other than 'wreaking havoc' (but I do love a good havoc). I've alluded to it multiple times, but to come right out and put my nuts in the soup, as it were, I believe this forum is being ran, and badly so, by a clique of people who have no official status nor actual authority, and I'd like to see that disrupted as much as plausible.
I'll most likely fail, but it does provide a wonderful distraction from the
litany of TSA failures
terrible (in the 'causes terror' sense) driving conditions
shit poor job situation
shit poor family situation
medical problems
budgetary problems
stuff

You may aim to be. Sometimes, you're just funny.

You may be right. I had forgotten that for a reason. I'll forget it again; I'm good at that.

--- End quote ---
It might be, but I am not sure what it would illuminate. You see, there is quantity, and there is , er, something else, which is not quantity. Tergon is the UBMEOD wielder for a reason: he has mastered the art of being creative and upsetting and just plain unadulterated funny WITHOUT having to resort to being abrasive.

I haven't applied any analysis yet, and I'm not planning to do any on your forum persona. Your forum persona just reminds me of my kids when they were younger.

--- Quote from: Boomslang on 23 Nov 2010, 13:04 ---Well, if Marten DID try heroin, I'm pretty sure he would no longer give a damn about Dora.
But,
A. Marten probably couldn't find a heroin dealer in the first place.
B. Oh, it's just about the worst solution possible.
But he does work in a library, he might be one of the few individuals who can still do their job while on smack.
--- End quote ---
You'd probably be wrong about A, Tai could almost certainly get ahold of heroin, I'd bet Sven could too. B would be right though.
20 minutes isn't much time for any real character evolution but I'd bet Marten is about to pull what he did when he and Faye finally talked. He'll go get Steve and possibly Faye as well this time and go drown in alcohol for the night, possibly run into a new female character, though Jeph has already submitted that he has too many female characters, so probably not. After that night he'll have an awkward week or so before falling back into the friendly Marten we all remember from the beginning until some attractive female scoops him up.

I'm flabbergasted. Run something? Us? Look, people agree with us or not, we've just go the ability toi express a thoughful opinion other than "Hurr, durr". We have no power. What we do have is a few years and the ability to look back. Like I said, some appreciate it, some don't.
Now, i understand a few of us got swept up in the heat of the moment last week, other wise Tergon wouldn't have been apologizing.
Tergon:
Exactly right.
Hell, I'm the friggin' head of the Dickbroom brigade, and if you've ever read one of my posts, I've been saying all along that I like where Marten's character is going. I could not agree more with darkstarr88's observations. Marten has been such a perfectly well-balanced, calm, nice person for the entire strip... I want to see that armour crack away, I want to see him finally lose his cool for once and do something stupid, or tell someone how angry he is, or something. I've never claimed otherwise, nor have any of the "self-appointed guardians" of this forum.
Last week's mass stupidity started from people pissing at each other with "Your opinion is stupid and only mine is good" arguments. I freely admit that I went a little over-the-top with the rants and, ultimately, didn't help matters very much. But this is a forum for people to share opinions, and people are sharing all kinds of opinions. I've never ranted at anyone for sharing an opinion, only for trolling the opinions of others. Sensible, well-thought-out arguments or debates? Go for your life.
In short: I agree with OP, I appreciate those who said nice things about me, and if anyone thinks they're the only one expressing a certain opinion, they probably need to pay a little more attention. People can surprise you.
