Message 70934 - Posted: 17 Jan 2005, 23:32:35 UTC

Mine actually started as an insult (in their minds anyway), from one of the first boards I ever participated in on a regular basis. I was an antagonist (not a troll) on that board. It was an enviroMENTAList board, and I'm more of a conservationist (same few who gave me my name made sure to draw the distinction), so we butted heads often (It stayed civil, and a few even thanked me for keeping them honest).

Anyway it had something to do with my modus operandi, suddenly appearing on a thread and tearing the weakest arguements apart. Yeah I've calmed down a bit, but I actually started to like the name, so I kept it when I moved on.


Still looking for something profound or inspirational to place here.

Is the lightness of your avatar on purpose?

I already figured out your name NA considering that New Amsterdam was the original name for New York City. I was born and raised in Beaverwick myself..

Nope, his gasses would be more akin to Uranus, i.e.

Methane, hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, with traces of indol and
the occasional eruption of miscellaneous liquids and solids.
