Looks like everything from about April 25 to date is gone (I got that date from the political thread). When and if they restore the missing posts, these new posts, since the outage, will probably be gone.

Like last time ... I am sulking because my RAC is falling like a stone. The only compensation is that my "pending stock of work units" is growing like Topsy and heading towards one million (if only).

I am sulking because my RAC is falling!

Sulk! Salt! Sulk! (I like salt with my sulk)
It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

I think they've implemented a little html update and something got broke in the process. Prolly not that bad. I reckon the posts are there, but maybe unable to display. I'm having a peekaboo to see if it's anything obvious.

I'm sulking because someone managed to steal my profile and replace it with an error message, so now I'm off to bed. Y'all better put it back by the time I wake up....

I´m still sulking that we have lost Kaleste to the dark side....

More like to the void... (sulk)


I'm sulking because I don't know what the problem was, regarding Kaleste. I saw the photoshopped picture, and it was not offensive. I read her statement that if CA could do that, then others could do worse. Did anyone do anything to her picture that was bad? I don't understand.

As for suing CA for making changes to her picture (even if her claimed copyright held up), what damages would she claim? A completely clothed, non-offensive picture taken from her website (which she voluntarily set up), doesn't look like it would constitute a recognisable claim of loss to me. So now I'm sulking that my friend CA may feel embarrassed or exposed for something he did in fun--and that he has done in fun with many others, including me.

And I'm sulking that the very person who started an "Innuendo" thread where people, mostly men, made thinly veiled sexual comments has such thin skin about a rather attractive photoshopped picture of her, because someone might do something worse . . . well, it makes me sad.

Tom, I only recall seeing her (kaleste) and at most 2 others complain about the photo.
edit---and at least 1 of those was a woman. There is a huge majority of males posting in any threads in all of these forums of course. Surely over 75% ? I can't think of one male who was 'upset' that the photo was made. I never saw the reason for the commotion overthe photo myself.
Will you not risk inflaming things anymore please?

I'm not trying to inflame things, but I am unhappy about many things that came out of that episode, especially its effect on friends. This is the thread where one expresses one's unhappiness, and sulks about it.

Tom, I just sent the Captain an email, asking him to come on back. Maybe you and a few others might do the same?

I don't do IM. What's wrong with here? Kaleste is gone, and so, apparently, is CA. Have I said anything threatening or rude? Am I not allowed to express my feelings in a thread that is designed for just that purpose? Say what you want here.

I don't WANT to say anything but I will....

You clearly knew yesterday after the flamefests that I will respond only if people start hacking it up again. If you intend to do that then I'm going to continuously respond and we can burn these forums down together as you CHOOSE to initiate this breach of peace.

Orr.....you can go complain to real life friends, get it off your chest, and let it go.

BELIEVE me! If i posted in here what I want to get off of MY chest...well. I'll leave it to your imagination. LET IT GO

Hey TROLLBOY! Why don't you just STFU and go away? And while you're at it, why don't you start doing some contributing by way of crunching as that credit of 88,355 has been stuck at that number for an awfully long time. And why is that RAC stuck at 51 too. Seems something shady is going on there too. [edit]Now I know why your comps are hidden.[/edit] I don't sulk but jerks like you really get me pissed.

My next sulk will be when Barry Bonds hits his next homerun and ties Babe Ruth's old record. Wailing and gnashing of teeth.

That sounds like you're threatening me. Oh, and don't tell me what I "clearly knew yesterday" about anything. I've done nothing wrong by any standards other than yours, so just let it go.

Ah, the sound of moronic laughter. Perhaps it's time for you to return to the institution.
