Well, I have recently noticed, much to my surprise, that some people who post on this board, find my perspective on their "opinions" objectionable. 
Yes, I like to sift through the flotsam (HOLY CRAP!!) to make sure the detritus is processed properly and that's all well and good. But I have been disturbed to see several of my admirer-detractors following me about from thread to thread, bothering the MODs and derailing some good threads written by intelligent OPs with their whining and chest-pounding. One poster recently went to such lengths with this that he accused me of making a thread mine when he was the one writing posts about me. The world had gone insane.
No more.
On this the 7th day of November 2006, the day of my imminent re-election to the House of Poster Scrutiny, I grant a universal amnesty to all trolls, socks, idiots and Otis.
No more critiques of your writing, thoughts or knowledge of the language you were hired to teach. No more. You are all absolved. And my indulgence comes without price.
You're welcome.
So, if you are for a happier Britain, you will join me in the upcoming days and weeks as a kinder, gentler flotsam only engages with those he knows are up to the task.
Feel free to use this thread to work out your remaining angst and let the healing begin. Future asaults on my august online presence will be responded to with a link to this thread.

I feel ya.
And well, yes, turning this into the flotsam lovefest thread is certainly another option.
But that's it: love or hate. The first person to write some bullshyte, "Well if you just weren't so ascerbic sometimes...blah, blah, blah." post is gonna get a link! |

Flotsam, actually, I think you start up your own website that critices people. Charge people for insults. You could make money off what you love to do.
With that money, buy a blevy of beauties who would feed your narcistic appetite until hell turns blue. You only got a few years of it, so start living big.

Flotsam posts are like little litmus tests.
If I have to say more, you failed the test. That's right -- you can fail a litmus test. Get over it. |

Just wanted to let everybody know, but didn't want to start a new thread. |

(A self-critique. A turn-around, but for better or for worse?)
And to whom are you referring? Do you think I'm a sock, for example?
We live in a land of complacency: nods and stares, don't stand out from the crowd, ok just a little bit - spike that hair just a little bit, wear that gaudy shirt and waste-chain, after daum says its ok. And God forbid you wear red or pink in Autumn. NOOOooooo! Don't speak unless spoken to, even when they passionately disagree. Or do they?
Guess what I'm saying is, nothing like a dose of healthy opinion in the land of agreement. It's refreshing. Ruffle those feathers, rock that boat, gnash those teeth - whatever it takes to get some TRUTH. In saying that, don't do it with me hehe.
What was the catalyst? |

No trap CTR, it just when you and I disagreed, we disagreed, snapped at each other, came out of it and moved on. (With you dreaming about me, I might add.) It's like me and Spin over there in the heroin thread, we're at it and each other as discussants, not each other as humans. Well, hell, even Q and I had a bit of a snizz last month, we took our time and got over it. C'est la.
However, some people are not up to the challenges of this level of discourse.
Which is not to say they are less worthy. (Even though, yes, many of the ridiculous and unintelligent comments made on this board deserve nothing more than for a label of "jackass", which is a term of mild, mild derision where I am from, to be affixed on the author. Why expound when one word embraces the essence? No one particular in mind, by the way.) Rather, it would be better, in my mind, to make a public announcement that the meek shall inherit an Earth where they can roam free of the flotsam-wolf, while those who have game can expect like in return.
In fact, let us add a new element to this thread: If you feel you can handle the weight of my majestic, terrifying, ominous, online  presence, make thyself known to me, and I shall treat thee like a LION among cuttlefish.
meow. |

Ingenius. And YOU will find ME in pride.
But I have 2 questions:
*what does my blue name mean? (did a search, alas, couldn't find it)
*do I have to be a meek lion? I would prefer to be stealth. |

If you are a LION, you are not meek.
As for the colors: The Old Flotsam System
However, times have changed and now everyone is darkblue, unless any of my nemeses have the intestines to come right out and DEMAND that they be a LION among LIONS and run with pride among the proud, even though they suck.
meow.
(Of course, if you're a *beep*, and not a LION it is doubtful I will be referring to you at all. reowr.) |
