Title: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Pyraxis on April 07, 2007, 04:07:11 AM
With that kind of post count in this kind of time, it's inevitable.

So, I'll start - what had you wanted to get the PhD in?

Crap. I figured I answered enough in the intro thread.

So, I'll start - what had you wanted to get the PhD in?

I'm in school right now for Computer Science, but I was considering Mathematics as well.
Basically, I'm more interested in the theoretical side of CS, so they're not too different.

I don't know how to measure it. When younger (and it's probably shrunk since then) it measured approximately 8 1/2" along the top, but nearly 11 usable (side). Only remember the numbers because it came so close to the size of a standard piece of paper.

Depends on what you mean by get me off. Do I orgasm directly
from this? No. Is it a thrill? Kind of.

What really felt good was having someone vomit around my cock.
Not something that I would try to force, but it was a really nice
feeling - at least if they hold it in.

Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 10, 2007, 02:04:36 AM
Crap, I don't know.

I'm not sure what is mean.

But, I certainly used to scare the shit out of my
wife. She had a fear of drowning, and I'd scare
her while she was under water (wouldn't take much).
Though, some less intentional cruelties were probably
worse - poorly chosen and hurtful words, such as when
we were breaking apart, and I got her to tell me that
my lack of affection was ONE major cause, I told her that
I could pretend. Thing is, I really meant it - as one's actions
can become what they want.

I'm just going to cop out, and go with the rape for the second
answer. Wouldn't hold if it was to people that I loved/didn't love,
but I pretty much disliked the girl.

Post by: Calandale on May 10, 2007, 02:58:12 AM

Lots of reasons. Depends on the time. But I felt trapped, and threatened
by her. On top of that, yeah, I didn't much like her, but mainly for those
reasons (plus she tended to be less than logical - but that would be okay
if not for the way I felt threatened). Funny thing is though, I'm not sure
that these issues played as heavily in the rapes as her deliberately unleashing
my anger did. Like I said, it was kind of a cop out. Not really cruelty at all.
But, I don't really tend to be too cruel to those I dislike - more in play. When
I dislike someone, it tends to be more a simple matter of rage.

What kind of cheap thrills do you like??
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 12, 2007, 04:25:41 PM
Good question. I have no idea. I get kicks out
of little things, that perhaps I'll regret. I definitely
enjoy the adulation of others, whether one on
one, or as a crowd. I like drinking. I like submitting
to as much of my insanity as I am capable of.

Not even really sure what makes something a
'cheap thrill' though, so I shouldn't have used
the term. One of those things that I assumed
we all (most especially me) just KNEW what it
meant, but now I'm confused. For, none
of the things that I enjoy seem to cheapen
me - the things which do, I don't really enjoy,
but rather just feel guilty for.
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: purposefulinsanity on May 12, 2007, 04:35:05 PM
Actually you make a good point- what exactly is a cheap thrill?  Is it one that makes you feel cheap or something that doesn't cost a lot? There's very little that I feel guilty about or regret later. There's some things that sadden me when I remember them but I don't regret them happening in the first place, just how they ended up.
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 12, 2007, 04:39:02 PM
I certainly do things which I am not proud of.
Posting constantly is a good example. But,
I'm usually not enjoying them, when I'm
doing them, either.

As to the other meaning of cheap,
nearly everything in my life is that
way. I don't much go in for expensive
thrills.

I have no opinion on that matter; though he might remember better.
It has been a long ass time since I've played with food at all. I'm pretty
sure that this happened, but don't remember it feeling particularly good
(or bad). Mentholated was a lot more interesting. Though, I have to
say, ben-gay (not oral of course) was MUCH more interesting.

Why stop, when I'm so GOOD at it? Seriously, it seems to be exactly
what Alex wants. I don't agree with all of his decisions, but I'm willing
to follow them, especially since the cost is so low (though when the
shit hits the fan - as it has recently - the cost can be higher, in terms
of pain to other mods, which I feel obligated to do something about).

Isn't half arsed things perfect for WP?

Nah. I think there should be more moderation there. It's too big a site to
be as free as it is. But, as long as it's easy enough on me, I don't really
mind doing it. It's not like I'm getting paid, or anything.

Vacation from what? Anyhow, about the only
'pleasure' trip that I've taken in the last decade
was a road trip throughout the pacific NW, a
couple of years ago. It was pretty intense though,
and was a school trip for most of the students
(I was just along for comedy relief); 12+ hours on
the road most days, for about a month.

Stopped for a night in Eugene, which helped
convince me to apply here.

well yes, this exactly my attitude to the matter.
People have been saying i need a holiday for years, i think they have given up now though.

Anyway, do you ride a motorbike?
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 15, 2007, 04:07:58 PM
No. Only did so once, riding behind a guy,
who told me to grab his dick if I got frightened,
or needed to communicate with him.

Actually, my avoidance of vacations has
been pretty long-term. I used to hate
holidays from school, because I knew that
they weren't permanent. I'm never too happy
when I think something is temporal.

Became one of the sticking points with my wife.
She needed a break, but I brought up all the reasons
that it was foolish to take off work, and spend far too
much money to travel. Unfortunately, she was pretty
compliant about such things. Later, she was upset about
the trip that I mentioned above.

There were aspects that I liked. I thought the relationship between
Frodo and Sam was well done, for example. But, there were a lot
of little problems in the first movie, which it became clear were
absolutely ruinous to the whole point of the story. I mean, they
left the god damned nut out of the movie. That was the whole
fucking point.

Whatever actual story there was in the books was in the film. Had Peter Jackson tried to shoot the books as-is, I'd much prefer Yellow Pages The Movie.

Perhaps its a male/female difference- I can get myself off easy enough, but sex is a lot more satisfying (even just on the physical level, number of orgasms,etc).


No, I don't think that there's much difference.
I just add another qualification in. I'm not sure
if sex alone is enough, without the thrill of
at least a possible love. But that possibility
might be included in such a game - I don't
know. I just know that I'm terrified of the
possibility of falling over the net.



Isn't sex enough of a thrill on its own without the promise of it developing into love?

Bull. The whole rebirth theme was gone.
I agreed with a lot of his choices, but
leaving out the point of the story was
a definite mistake. Not as bad as what
was done to Damnation Alley, but not

they leave is awful - but I know somehow that

That's why I asked Cal...I was sure would have had them...and yes, I was correct.
They are painful...I had one guy who sort of got off on them a bit...I had to beg for mercy eventually, wincing in pain during sex is not hot for me...well not that kind of pain.

Yep. Even worse is what I think were yeast infections.
Tightened the foreskin up so bad that I couldn't get
it past the head. Whatever, SOMETHING was drying
it out horribly, and tended to happen when my wife
had an infection; plus, her cream worked on it. Took
a while to figure it all out though.

keeping it, as I don't like to shave every day, and

You are correct, it was Eamonn, on July 3, 2006.  He spelled it "cuntosecond" which is why I did not find it in my previous search.  This time I just searched for "second."


no, actually, it was callaway telling me about very, very small seconds, and there was one called a fermionsecond, or something, so i adopted a new name for it, hence the femisecond. 

A femtosecond is one-quadrillionth of a second. I have changed it to cuntosecond.

But, there are many different types of spam. There is
the purely lame and useless (barely worthy of mention),
in which someone posts words again and again. There are
the merely inane comments, like scrappy's "lemon curry?,"
once again mild annoyances. There are minor divergences
from the topic of a thread, such as most here seem to

is unlimited by concepts, and depends merely upon the

Excellent. Then you will never understand the

Actually, I suspect that you're right, in
this case. Most of the time though, it
simply means that I have strong feelings
about something. If that's BS to you, feel
free to skip it.

My short posts are more likely to be BS, in
my mind, as I'm embedding too much meaning
in something small, and it can be taken too many
ways.

How much of what you post do you actually believe to be truthful?


Do you prefer to give bullshit responses to honest answers?
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 23, 2007, 05:18:45 PM
Oh sure, pick on me when I'm tired.

1.
I think that I believe most of what I post,
at the time that I post it. It's usually pretty
close to the truth though - there aren't
huge changes in my world view.

But, the world does leave traces of
completely anomalous events from
earlier perceptions, and I can't be
certain that some of these aren't
spilling over into my thinking.

Now and then, I do post purely
silly things, but I think that it's
pretty obvious to most of us
that these aren't intended.
A great deal of what I write is
an attempt to nail down some of
what I'm thinking, in such a way
that it doesn't fade away as so
many things do. I don't expect to
keep it for long, but a few months
is nice, now and then. 

2. I don't know. The silly shit is a lot
easier than trying to put my actual
thunks into words - as they tend to
flit around ephemerally. I'd imagine that
others prefer the bullshit to when I try
and define what I'm thinking, from
comments by McJ, especially. But, I
need more than just play, and though
it hurts sometimes to investigate my
thoughts, it probably does me some
kind of good.

As to the unasked but obvious question,
yes, I am not at all certain that I am sane.
But, there are times when it feels like I'm
on the verge of discovering something so
completely vital, that sanity becomes a
moot point. Especially when I'm considering
new Mathematical or Logical models. But, there
is something clearly lacking from the manner in
which we are used to thinking, which makes
it difficult to pass through to newer and more
perfect possibilities.

Interesting answer,(btw I wasn't picking on you, but then I'm sure you like the attention).

Personally I view this insane part of your personality as a bit of an act, but I guess only you know just how much of it is an act and how much of it is real.  Perhaps I just think that if you were truly insane you wouldn't know it, I know there are times when I feel that I must be at least half insane, but I think that recognising the insanity in your personality means you're not likely to actually be insane.


Another question for you:  Is there something that you would like to achieve in your life?
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 23, 2007, 05:46:42 PM
Interesting answer,(btw I wasn't picking on you, but then I'm sure you like the attention).

Yeah. I'm a whore for it. But I am very tired. Might effect my answers.

Personally I view this insane part of your personality as a bit of an act, but I guess only you know just how much of it is an act and how much of it is real.  Perhaps I just think that if you were truly insane you wouldn't know it, I know there are times when I feel that I must be at least half insane, but I think that recognising the insanity in your personality means you're not likely to actually be insane.


   Maybe. I don't know if there's anything real under me at all.
   Certainly, I feel that way about emotions. But, that's not right,
   as I feel pain, just thinking about it. At one point, when I was
   in college, one of my first friends showed me the power of
   seeming insanely mad. I had many anger problems before,
   but, learned that by acting angry, one could avoid
   actually slipping into a rage. Sometimes though, the acting
   slides into the actuality. The good feeling of being loved and
   wanted, leads to the same.

   This is all a roundabout way of saying maybe the insanity is
   an act, maybe it's not. I've not been able to tell the difference.
   I believe in things that standard logic tells me are impossible,
   or that seem mere phantasies. Yet, I am highly skeptical of them,
   at the same time - realizing their weaknesses. Catholic priests often
   go through 'crises of faith' but this is almost always the case for me.
   Still, I find that the answers available through purely logical thought
   are so hopeless, that I simply cannot accept them.

   (luckily this post is too long for McJ to bother with)  :laugh:

Another question for you:  Is there something that you would like to achieve in your life?

There have (and still are I guess) lots of things. Some of them contradictory.

1. Destruction of all that is. But I must be certain. I might settle for
    all humanity, or even just myself, if it's done right.

2. Absolute control over the universe, by force of will.

3. Finding lovers who stay with me forever, and with whom
    the happiness and joy which I had with my wife is surpassed.

4. Being free of the mutable future.

5. Not ever having to work or do anything once again.

6. Getting a life where I can at least LOOK at my games again.

7. Falling in love with an abstraction, to the extent that I can
   devote myself to understanding and carving out new fields of
   thought (this one seems less likely than it once did - it was my
   primary hope not long ago - so it has fallen low on my list).

8. Falling in love with some other form of work, so that I can
    support myself and drown in a pathetic 'normal' life.

9. Leading some sort of violent or political action, or helping
   those in need.

No. I KNOW you're intelligent (you said so),
and there must be something there. Plus,
our discussion on equity was definitely interesting.

Still, you seem to have no interest in history, and
little in philosophy, which seem necessary for a
reasonable discussion of these matters, IMHO.

Mainly, it's that I just don't think that we have
a hell of a lot of interests in common. Once, I
thought that didn't necessarily matter - but now
I'm convinced that it does, to some extent.

It's very difficult for me to lapse into the kind
of play that we would both enjoy, without
already having the connection formed on
mutual interests.

Always seen this as a fantasy.
But, even if the Urals could have
fallen, the condition of the German
economy was straining heavily under
the effort. US intervention pretty much
would have overcome anything that could

I agree with Scrap. If they've captured the Caucasian oil fields, the Russians would've lost the war simply because of lack of fuel. That's more or less what Germany itself did in the end; they had almost no fuel or even ammunition in the end.

Look at this map once again, by the way:

I thought we were talking about the northern campaign.
Anyhow, clearly the war could have been pursued better
without an incompetent in overall command. I still contend
that it would have made little difference. What eventually
happened at Stalingrad would have happened somewhere.
The German army simply wasn't big enough for the task.

Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on May 29, 2007, 10:26:34 PM
I wasn't there when it really hit. But, while we were
together, she just began getting more and more distant.
She told me that it was either me or her sanity.

Throughout the letters we exchanged, it was pretty
clear that neither of us were handling things well.
She was never good at expressing her feelings,
and I was just pouring mine out like the emo
that I am.

I guess she had a couple of attempts at relationships
that just didn't work out, and had pretty much given
up on life. She tried to kill her self, in a half hearted
way, and some of her friends intervened. It scared
the crap out of her, and she got back into touch
with me, asking me to come up and visit for Thanks-
giving. But, as the time approached, I guess she grew
more and more worried about the hopelessness of
my being able to fix what was broken.

Anyhow, about a week before I was to go, she tried
calling, but couldn't get hold of me. That night, she
took a bottle of pills, and then foolishly (from her point
of view) went outside, where her neighbor was. He could
tell that she just wasn't coherent, and knowing that she
had made an attempt not too long ago, called one of her
friends. They ended up getting an ambulance, and she was
locked away, for a couple of weeks.

I'm not entirely sure of a lot of it though. I know that even
before she pitched me, she was going through a lot of doubt
and feeling neglected. I'd suspect that anyone attracted to the
kind of love that I provide is probably as co-dependent as I am,
and that the deterioration was crushing her. Then, finding that
there was nothing that seemed to meet her needs (I was her
first REAL love), facing the emptiness of the time before again,
it was all too much for her. It's not something that's really
survivable, and gods know, if I had her strength I would
have killed myself long ago.

You don't have to answer and I know the above probably was a bit draining to write in the first place, so please forgive me if I'm asking a personal question.

You don't have to answer and I know the above probably was a bit draining to write in the first place, so please forgive me if I'm asking a personal question.

I don't fucking know. I did visit her in the
hospital, and after she got out, I went back
to see her over the month long Christmas break.
Things didn't go too well at first, but began to
settle into some sad reflection of our time together.

Afterwards, I left with many unvoiced doubts. But
she seemed to put more and more into the thought
that we would be together, and invited me to visit
again for Easter/her b-day. During the interim, she
had decided to give up her job as an archaeologist,
and go off to school for repairing motorcycles. Just
one of the doubts that I had - she would neither
wait a bit, to see if I could get accepted for school
where she was living, or if something else seemed
wise.

Things continued pretty well, over the phone, until
I wrote her a letter, expressing my doubts. Her response
was swift and deadly, as one would expect from someone
like her: "that's it then." No compromise, no discussion, twas
over. I raged - wrote some letters that contained things that
were hurtful to her, and she pretty much cut all contact. It's
been a good year and half since I even got an e-mail from her.

Given the fact that both of my other LTR mates died within a
couple of years of losing me, I'm surprised that she lasted as
long as she did. But, I put some major wards over her, at one
time, in order to keep from harming her in my anger (a bit of
insanity creeping in here, but it's what I believe - and I have
a great deal of reason to do so). So, who knows? I suspect
that she had someone that she was interested in, when she
received my letter.

As a side note - not long after the "That's it" statement, she got
into a motorcycle accident. Nothing too major, but all par for the
course.

I doubt that I'm a misogynist. More of a misanthrope.

Yes, I can.


I don't really have a favorite. I tend to wear
a lot of period stuff. Most of it just patched
together from things I have. Some 1920's
style; some mid-1800's, late 1700's, and
medieval. Pretty much a mismatch.

 I tend to go for those who show interest.
Though, I did act a bit cruel to someone
tonight - but interrupting my dancing is
just WRONG. She'd have had to have
been a whole hell of a lot better than
what she was - which wasn't bad, but
just not up to what I'm obsessed with.

I am lame. That and I thought that I could just keep
drawing her to me. Dancing throws off so much of
my energy though, that it's hard to control. Plus,
I lose a lot of sense. Still, I tried soon after she
first showed enough interest to make it obvious.
Just was too drunk and insensible to pull it off right,
and went for a purely physical approach, rather than
just signaling her.

Then, thinking that I moved too strongly, I backed off
hard. Too hard. It wasn't until I saw that I had hurt her,
that I made the decision to try again, and by then, it was
too late.

I also have two "Irish Seconds", which are Petersen rejects and they are both excellent at one third the price of a Petersen. I also have a very rare Petersen meershaum (considered a "dress pipe") and a couple of calabash style pipes, but I don't know who made them


Do you have a calabash?.

I do, but like most of my pipes,
it's broken. Beautiful (though
unwieldy) thing. Gives a different
taste from anything else.

I may have had a couple of
Peterson's (not sure). I prefer
older pipes, with the screw in
stem.

Have a tiny meerschaum that my wife
picked up in Turkey.

My 'prize' is a pipe my dad found at
an estate sale - covered with silver
filigree, with an amber mouthpiece. BUT,
the amber was broken, and the
connector to the stem was missing.

Have a tiny meerschaum that my wife
picked up in Turkey.



I forgot to mention a number of mideast pipes, but they were not really very good for tobacco, except for one handcarved out of soapstone with an amber mouthpiece. I also collect "Peacepipes" and over the years I have made eleven of them out of maple, cherry, hickory or apple wood. The longest was over three feet long, made out of cherry, and I made a leather slip cover for it which I decorated with holy symbols and shredded the bottom into fringe in a wavy pattern.

I made them all as gifts, except one I kept for myself, which is decorated with beading, quills, and feathers. I also dyed the wood with various flower pollen and berries for coloring. I made it as holy as I could. It still needs to be blessed, before I smoke it, but I don't know any Holy Men anymore.

Yes, I like them, but they are too fragile for a clutz like me. I broke my favorite pipe a few months back (a fancy-pricy Jarl) and had to repair the stem. I disturbed its mellowness, quite a bit.

joking apart...

it's a bit of a blurred line between AS and NPD though, isn't it?  are you actually diagnosed with NPD?  if not, what are your reasons for thinking you have it?

(i'm interested, cos NPD was one of the things i and my therapist [sadly, no longer practising] thought i might have, before the AS thing came along.  we decided i haven't got it, but the way).
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on June 06, 2007, 01:54:23 AM
I'm diagnosed with nothing.
I ran across AS, noticing the
attention that it's gotten in
press within the last year or
so (didn't know anything about
it before), and realized that it
seemed to describe me perfectly.
I seem to meet all the criteria,
and many of the offbeat traits.

Still, mention was made, here and
there, about NPD, and that it
is a disqualifying factor. I thought
I had already looked at it, and judged
that it didn't apply. But, it sure looks
like it does. I meet some 7 of 9 requisites,
where only 5 are necessary. And, those that
I miss (empathy based) are only a matter of
internal perception. What empathy I have is
mainly (but not entirely - else I would have
kept playing with something I was liable to
hurt) suppressed.
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Lucifer on June 06, 2007, 01:59:09 AM
it is difficult, isn't it?  i'm still waiting (and waiting...) for an official diagnosis of anything, although i have - at long last, and after several years of trying - finally got a referral for AS assessment.  someone asked me the other day what else "They" could come up with, if it isn't AS, and NPD is the only alternative, as far as i can see.  but i know i'm not that.  "just generally fucked up" isn't something i relish the idea of, vis a vis diagnosis, cos that's what i thought i was for 40 odd years, until AS became a possibility.

or perhaps i'm just bonkers.

but don't an awful lot of people - if not the vast majority - have that, to some degree or another?  surely responding positively to an expression of esteem isn't pathological?  i'm not doubting what you say, by the way, just nit picking and playing devil's advocate.

oh, i do realise that many people have extremely low self esteem, and don't

I don't know. I DO know that the low self esteem
is a major factor in everything. I thrive off of the
attention that I receive from dancing, from the
way that I dress, from the inappropriate things
that I say. I'm not a person who holds much
faith in psychology, and haven't spent a lot
of time looking into such things. It's just
a matter of looking at the DSM, and saying,
that one looks like it fits me. I looked at
quite a few (since when I take online
tests, I tend to come out pretty damned
fucked) and could see where I came
close on psychopath and BPD, but
these are the only two that I've hit
which seem pretty conclusive.

bingo - me too.

the rest of it rather comes back to my point about blurred distinctions.  and i tend not to trust online tests that much (although i do them as avidly as you ;) ), as one can't make a clinical assessment of someone without interacting with them in some way of another.  it's the little things which give the most information, in many cases, and the ways in which the "characteristics" are manifested.  for example, my suspicions about my ex having AS were really confirmed (in my view) by the way he walked, which isn't exactly one of the "top boxes to tick", generally.  and i never thought i had a problem with abstract thinking, until a friend (who works with adults with AS) pointed out how it was manifested in me.  i would never have "ticked that box" otherwise, and now i have, i can see examples of it happening all the time, and they don't have any other explanation other than me being stupid (and i'm not).

oh, i'm going on.  and on, and on...  i'll shut up, now.

Would you rather regret something you did do or something you didn't do? (usually an obvious question for most, but for you I suspect you might surprise me).

1. No idea. I used to believe that I had made the best
choices, in the end. Losing my wife changed all that.
So, I suppose that is my greatest regret, though there
is no single act which caused this. On the other hand,
it is entirely possible that that was a necessary event,
for me to get where I need to be.

2. The obvious answer. I can't even think of too many
big things that I've done, that I regret. It's the unfulfilled
possiblities which torture me. Not doing is a form of doing,
so what cost would there have been? Hard to tell, but I
don't take risks.

I don't know. I think that I can get 3:1 on him, without trying.
But, the spirit's just not in me, and he seems strong with the

Yeah. I feel like there are certain issues which I owe it

I don't know how to measure it. When younger (and it's probably shrunk since then) it measured approximately 8 1/2" along the top, but nearly 11 usable (side). Only remember the numbers because it came so close to the size of a standard piece of paper.

No. Because if he and I are at all similar in such issues,
he'd be bound to try and bring some order to the
chaos, when challenged for making light of the chaos
itself. And THAT is where I erred. I was better off just
joshing about how the WC would never accomplish anything,

McJagger came up with it.

Thought it was Lucifer?
i think it was eamonn, and lucifer made it famous.

i am just a hack.

I thought it was Lucifer too.

A search has Eamonn using it on March 11, 2007 (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=3014.msg126534#msg126534).

Lucifer used it on August 21, 2006 (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=1177.msg39481#msg39481).

Do you remember Eamonn using it before then?

No, you're probably right.


McJagger invented the internet, though needed nueromans technological expertise to get it off the ground. Nueroman procceeded to become a mad and egotist dictator, allowing only those who agree with him to log their computers on. Faced with such a powerful phenomenon, Nueroman and Mcjagger didnt know what to do so it split them up and made them greedy (like that one ring to rule them all thingemy). Not having the brain capacity to make an intelligent post between them, they then turned to lucifer who didnt have nueroman's techiness or mcjaggers all engulfing personality but does have intelligence, wit and no shortage of witchcraft to hypnotise everyone into believing she's right all the time.

Between the three of them they could have ruled the world but alas the age-old story of love, ego, power and greed etc tore this faboulas threesome apart and an evil pair of primative creatures (purposely annoying the insane half harpy/halfgorgon who mercilessly rips into those who dont agree with her and duncpiss the snorting slabbering minotaur who thinks this place is the centre of his labyrinth/universe in which to slaughter/slag off the young and innocent 14 young aspies for his pleasure) from a far away and dark place called yorkshire swept in and took over this once idealic world called the interlovingweb and most perniciously ruled over it with an iron fist, banishing those few voices of reason from the land and abusing their powers by changing what our last one true hope of night in shining armour (Eamonn) said about himself in his profile. Fortunately our hero is far too busy living his own life to be bothered about the little fairies on DrivellingIdiotLand and the impish little tricks they play like the characters in that movie called "Troll".

Long before that, long ago there were other mythical beasts of the past in a much mythicised and weildy place called wronplanetearth but that, my dear children, is a story for another day.

Nice to know im not the only one who thinks so. A compliment, and from a lofty *drum roll* World Council member, no less. You may address me simply as Eamonn, though. I'm not God yet (though am working on it). I can see how you would think so, seen as i am so far above anything else to have visited this place.

I don't eat many sweets, I like savoury...but when I feel like I need sugar I have chocolate...or chocolate eclairs if I'm going to have a pastry...that's about my sweet limit now.

I like mostly savoury as well, though have been known to have partaken in the enjoyment of the odd flying saucer, bon bon or chocolate. Love nuts. Not sure who calendale is. The name rings a bell. I will have to peek at the thread in question and see if it's an interesting argument.

No my karma was brought down by internet geeks who had nothing better to do than attack it constantly to make themselves feel better when i was still a (fairly) regular contributor here.

Has one day of sober (if unintelligent) thought because his dole money's ran out (surprised your body didnt shut down with no cheap yorksheer cider piss like Olde English running through it's veins, maybe your 'recycling old pisswater, as it were, to keep yourself in a drunken stupor so as not to face up to the reality of your dull and empty life) and now he thinks he's the flaming fat version of the Gandhi or something. You couldnt pwn your wifes cheap plastic lucky bag ring never mind me, captain flab, that's why you have to use other means like festering over the net 48 hours a day, lowering karma and toggling with emoticons to boost your low self-esteem.

It's just that every time Eamonn shows up around here, McJ spends his time idolizing him and I just don't get it.
jealous, much?

why would he be jealous, Balders - he's got me.   :-*

this is true.  and i don't know.
maybe it is my overinflated ego that people get jealous because when eamonn is here, he is my king.  and all the other people are just paupers, in my eyes.

I'm open to suggestions. If there's any truth in it, then i must get to the bottom of It.

I've always believed in telling the truth.
Though, once I saw that as closer to what
you would consider "NOT lying," carefully
constructing my words in a way so as to
avoid giving the appearence of the real
meaning.

I've changed over the years, to believe that
one must do more than this, and actually attempt
to make others understand what I actually mean.
Though, my delving into those who would have been
burned for their beliefs (literally), has probably not
made me much clearer. But I try.

I don't feel that some sort of full disclosure
of all facts is necessary, not even now. There
are some things which one must reserve, for
various reasons.

Nonetheless, I try to give as accurate a portrait
of my flaws as I can. For this, I get accused of
being 'emo'. I'll take that criticism.

Hmm, the only times I dressed up as a woman
were to please a mate, or for mastubatory
purposes. 'twas hard to get my wife to do
cum play, and I'd suck myself off, and then
look in the mirror.

The only time I can really remember wanting to be
a particular woman, was Jodie Foster. I've alluded
to the movie elsewhere, but can't be certain which
one. I developed this terrible crush on her, but it
was half wanting to be her, and half wanting to do
her.

On the other hand, sometimes I would 'become'
female during sex. No one specific. Or I would slip
into the mind of a lover.

The somethings which would fulfill me

always. Now, it's simply a matter of

Eyes don't help.
But perhaps. It's
just that I seek the
impossible.

Let's take an example.
I would like to prove
Goldbach's conjecture
(or disprove - but I suspect
it's true). This may actually be
impossible, which is fine - I'd
be happy to show that.

But, it may be impossible even
to express that it is indeed one
of those things.

And THIS is what I consider 'settling'.

Oh, Goldbachs conjecture will need to be solved by a team of the world best, if it is solvable by people at all. What you want is to become a god really isnt it. I have a similar problem, i have a need to be the undeniable best to settle, but i have some niches that look vaguely promising.

Simple, it is just too hard for one person to do. There might be someone who lands the final blows, like in Fermats last theorem, but most of the ground work will have been done by other people, often in teams.

Fah. I actually think that the necessary groundwork
is a lot greater than what was needed for say the
four color theorem - BUT, more in a conceptual sense,
and less in terms of data. This is kinda the hunch that
I was working on. There's a jump that has to be made,
and making that would be more than sufficient. I'd rather
leave the legwork.

I haven't looked at the proof for FLT, but still can't help
but wonder that there might just be something which
could be more easily shown. Yeah, I know - so many
men, much greater than I have looked at it, but Fermat
is just not known for making claims like that.

No. My father goes every couple

should, someday. Especially now
that I haven't anything better.

If you don't mind the filth that covers it.
Actually, I could manage a couch, if you
were unhappy with the floor. But, I've no

I really don't know. There's fear, indecision, and even when those
seem chased away, still problems. I don't know which is the 'real'
culprit, nor what good 'twould do to find out. Had a session with
my shrink (the last) and went through this. Some of it feels as though
all the weight of reality is mine to bear, and any mistake that I make
could have tremendous consequences. Yeah, I don't really believe
that, but I almost do.

Fuck. I just need to DO. But that's what I've never been capable

So what would your three wishes be?

1. Absolute control of all matter, space, and time.

2. Happiness

3. Contentment.

Those wishes seem pretty contradictory.

Hey, it's not my problem. The genie's got
to figure out how to make them happen.

Now, the fact that I strive for these things,
ANYHOW, is kinda frightening.
I am sure the genie will come up with a way of doing it in a manner you would hate. Nothing wrong with striving for those things, as long as you dont go for any unscruplous methods.

I'd love to see it try.
Anyhow, if it did, I'd torture it.

As to unscrupulous methods, since
absolute power corrupts absolutely,
one can do ANYTHING to attain it.
The results will be the same.

You have hit a paradox here with absolute power. If one has absolute power, surely that would include the power to ensure that it didnt corrupt them?

Always right about SOME things. Not everything.
It's a matter of birdie infallibility. I usually invoke

Of course I lead my life by morality. How else

Done neither. Terrified of heights. Dove off a cliff though.

the bungie jump. That just looks stupid to me.

No. DOVE. Into water. Took me about 15 mins. standing at it

I just don't trust bungie jumping. Probably couldn't manage parachuting

Post by: Calandale on September 22, 2007, 06:09:58 PM
Then again, from Merriam-Webster:

Quote
Main Entry: 1dive
Pronunciation: 'dIv
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): dived /'dIvd /; or dove /'dOv/; dived also dove; div·ing
Etymology: Middle English diven, duven, from Old English dyfan to dip & dufan to dive; akin to Old English dyppan to dip -- more at DIP
intransitive verb
1 a : to plunge into water intentionally and especially headfirst; also : to execute a dive b : SUBMERGE <the submarine dived>
2 a : to come or drop down precipitously : PLUNGE <the temperature is diving> b : to plunge one's hand into something c of an airplane : to descend in a dive
3 a : to plunge into some matter or activity <she dove into her studies> b : to plunge or dash for some place <diving for cover>; also : to lunge especially in order to seize something <dove for the ball>
transitive verb
1 : to thrust into something
2 : to cause to dive <dive a submarine>
usage Dive, which was originally a weak verb, developed a past tense dove, probably by analogy with verbs like drive, drove. Dove exists in some British dialects and has become the standard past tense especially in speech in some parts of Canada. In the United States dived and dove are both widespread in speech as past tense and past participle, with dove less common than dived in the south Midland area, and dived less common than dove in the Northern and north Midland areas. In writing, the past tense dived is usual in British English and somewhat more common in American English. Dove seems relatively rare as a past participle in writing.

So, I guess that I was ok in using it.

Nah. I knew I'd get some. But, it was obvious that
I couldn't win without getting a bunch of people
who weren't here often to come vote for me. If

change their vote for me in favor of them. I just

Not too much recently, but I was always intrigued by
the machinations which went on. Participated in a number
of 'mock' assemblies, which ran county wide 'fake' governments.
Also was involved in debates.

Never had the kind of popularity to run for school
positions, but honestly, there wasn't the kind of
deal cutting going on there, nor decisions that I
was interested in.

Participated heavily in certain college issues, however,
and went about forcing money to be moved into the
correct places (in my view  :laugh:)

Studied US history enough to have a pretty good understanding
of the processes. Much less of English, French Revolutionary, Weimer,
Roman, and Soviet political processes, though not enough to really argue the
law from that basis. Would like to look at some other forms more carefully,
such as medieval Polish, and the later Byzantine senate, as well as the
politics of the Italian city states.

Yes. But, I'm TRYING not to be too big an ass out of it.
Still, I see parallels to certain failures going on in the WC,

I've tried to sway being fairly used to political
procedure.

I'm thinking of starting a libertarian organization on my campus next semester. Do you have any experience with that sort of thing?

We started a Campus Crusade for C'thulhu and a long lasting gaming club.
Never really tried anything to actually politically organize people. Organized
a protest/riot too (against fees :laugh:).

Each school is different though. All I can really suggest is to get some friends
in the student govt (that's where the money is), and look at the by-laws.  That's
something common enough that there may already be one on paper, which
often requires less effort to resurrect - and may be impossible to start a new club,
whilst that one is still around (we had this problem).

I gave you Massena, didn't I?

Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Mass%C3%A9na

He didn't have the genius of Napoleon or Davout,
but pretty much outshined everyone else of his
time. He wasn't as impetuous as the truly great ones.

I'd rank him with Charles, though he didn't suffer.

Quote
Masséna retained his command after the restoration of Louis XVIII. When Napoleon returned from exile the following year, Masséna refused to commit to either side and kept his area quiet.

Was particularly suiting, I think - given that you didn't want to vote
in that poll.  :laugh:

Many of the best ones ("Ben Hur", "Spartacus", "Lawrence of Arabia"...) were also filmed in 70mm and still have an unsurpassed image quality.

*sigh* Those were the days.

(I get to screen a 70mm short on Friday, though. :woohoo:)

The short is gorgeous. It's a stop-motion film, with a Panavision 70mm camera on rails, moving through a village while letting a full year pass. It's one of the best films I've ever seen in my life.

The image is fantastic. There's no word to describe it, when you see it on a 60-foot wide screen.

Some high-powered execs wanted to experience a film out of the ordinary, I believe. Years ago, I recommended this short to my boss at the cinema, and he actually listened, for once. Now, every time he needs to show what the cinema is capable of, he rents that print.

This is the one:

Three options, fairly clearly spelled out.

1. Thnx.

2. Maybe.  :laugh:

I think it's as I've represented it though.
Something which always bugged me, even
when the WC existed (and moderation was
a secondary principle to democracy). Very little
actually has a damned thing to do about the thread
itself. But, to the point that the very official announcements
of this site, are open to be posted in (something which gave
me wood), yet this was protected, it drew my attention.
Really, the ONLY things where such moderation was in
effect by admins were Ren's threads.

I'm trying to figure a way of accepting that our principles apply,
in these cases. I think that I'm actually not too far, from doing
so. But, THAT would be the line to argue with me - not that the
site NEEDS MODERATION.

I guess the bigger problem has to do with admin's, in general.
We do things, on requests. But, there certainly seem to be
cases where personal considerations may come into play - or even
mere misunderstandings. And, I'd like to open up more to the membership.
The more, the better. THAT'S where this thread gets into trouble. Not
so much with how things stand now.

Though the locked threads get all the attention, I'm a lot more
upset about the right to prank, and the INABILITY of members
to change their own custom title, on their own. But, those were not
issues that I had any new thoughts about.

Fictional character from movies and books that you relate to and one that you just admire.
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight
Post by: Calandale on February 03, 2008, 04:34:50 AM
THE single most applicable to me was Dostoevsky's
main character in Notes From Underground.

But, as to admire, that's tough. I tend to
take on the persona of characters that I
read about, if strong. At least for a while.
I've admired a lot of Zelazny's 'heros' for their
disregard of what one should expect. But,
probably the two characters that most imprinted
me were Thomas Covenant and the evil (dead)
twin from The Dark Half. I'd also give some
serious thought to Satan in Brust's "To Reign
in Hell," Walker, in the movie by that name
(though not entirely fictional), and Gwelchmai from
Munn's "Merlin's Ring".

Have personal reasons for one, which I'd rather not go into.

Probably, for across the board value, Geneva.

As it is, there's just so many little things

Recently, I've been playing RTS's by Paradox.

Crusader Kings, a dynastic simulation,
Europa Universalis II, covering the age of exploration
and colonization.
Victoria - covering from the napoleonic to
prior to WWII

Considering whether to pick up Hearts of Iron II, for WWII (and a bit beyond, I think)

Nice thing is, with the expansions, these all plug into one another,
so you can just play through one country (which I've been doing).

EU is based on a board game that I love, which
is how I got into these. Problem is they're VERY
time consuming.

Also played some GTA, daggerfall (old game), Gothic, Fallout
and with a special love, Mount & Blade (a medieval first person
combat simulation - but where you have an army to back you up
kinda plays like an FPS)

Some other older stuff, that I probably shan't pull up again,
like civ, sim city, MoM, and so on.

Oh, and a bunch of porn games.  :laugh:

There was no longer any pretext of democracy
when I did that. I took the standard procedure,

be what I had done. I was certain that 'twas reversible,

There was NO such democracy before the WC,
as far as I could tell. Merely the popularity contest
cum elections.

Moreover, even the elections seemed to have
been outlawed, by the vote which was taken,
which killed the WC. Thus, democratic decision making
was CLEARLY overruled, IF we were returning to the
election system.

As for the elections being popularity contests- isn't that how most elections are run in the real world too?  Even if we attempt to base our votes purely on perceived ability at the task, stance on certain issues, etc how we personally feel about a candidate (and/or the people they are running against) is always going to play a part in our decision who to vote for.  Were not all really part of some suprior human sub-group are we after all?

And as far as I am aware- someone may know different since I wasn't here at the time- Dunc pointed out pretty early after the WC was abolished that rather than actually being a 'despot' he wanted to site to be run how it was before the WC and that their would still be elections and that people could still vote on issues.

Right. Effectively overriding the first and second
choices of what should be done in the post WC era,
to enforce the ONE choice which got absolutely no
votes.

I don't see that directly ignoring what the people
absolutely clearly seemed to be voting for as being
a good sign of a commitment to democracy in any
form.

Fuck, you can lead the masses to the polls, but
you can't keep them from surrendering their power,

True. Indeed, they actually seem to desire
to have what they specifically ignored in
the poll. Well, all depends on how the question
is phrased. IF you remind them in the poll
that they voted one way before, they tend
more towards that same vote. If you just
ask if they wanted to vote, they reverse.

I have absolutely no idea how to read such
idiocy. Except to taunt it, and hope it goes
away.

Indeed. Which is why she's not worth it.
With Odeon, the point is that I JUST posted a
fucking link to the thread, last night. And, as
always, it won't be enough, for him. Why should
I bother, unless someone who might be convinced,
and (unlikely though I think this) missed it asks?

I missed it. Wanna tell me now where it is?

Why don't you ask someone who pays attention?

No, you have *hinted* at that, you've insinuated, you have called me things, and you've suggested that i do this or I do that. You've not pointed out a lot of anything, really. That is, after you shifted your attacks from Callaway to me. Before, your strategy was the same with Callaway.

Long before. When I was asking you if certain statements were reflective
of site policy. It's just gotten harsher, after you helped kill the democracy
(which, of course, you shall blame on those who voted to retain it - known as
THE BIG LIE, a common tactic of Hitler's no?)

As to Callaway, I've not given up on her entirely yet,
though I am close. Simply in waiting. As I shall be with you.
To point things out, as they happen, referring back to this.

Yes, the tactics ARE the same. I see a disturbing pattern, lay down
my case (without digging through the mounds of posts to try and
find all the evidence), and then point out later occurrences.

Calandale won't back up his words because he can't back them up, Odeon.  Hasn't he made this clear by now?  His Modus Operandi is to snipe and whine and to attempt to throw mud at other people to try to make himself look cleaner, but never to back anything up.  He claims to be too lazy or that we aren't worth the effort, but the fact is that there is no substance to what he says.

I look forward to seeing this hypothetical website that he starts for himself, and rules it according to his latest whim.  I think he intends to make everyone an administrator there.  It will be interesting to see what someone like Flake does with admin permissions in Calandale's little kingdom.  At least King Calandale will be the one who copes with the consequences.

that QM was homophobic. I admit that was as

That's right.  Hadron put it in your signature so you could claim that you didn't do it, didn't he?

However, you had the ability to remove it and you left it there for some time.

It had his phone number and some text like for a good time call this number and ask for Marky, IIRC.

I'd assume that the same cause was at fault both times.
two can play?

Was the existence of the secret do not prank list ever announced to the membership or was it all done in secret?

AFAIK it was never formally announced.
I brought its existence (though not who was
on it) up in a couple of public arguments, after
having whined (as 'twould be called) in the admin
forum about it NOT being announced.

Things like that are the reason why I've not just written you off as a crank like a lot of other people have. :laugh:

Given that the existence of the don't prank list was causing some heated debate when it was first mentioned I wonder why it was decided that one would be created in secret without the approval of the community??  And why the creation of such a list wasn't announced to the members so they could express an opinion about it? Yeah I understand that the members had apparently voted to say they'd prefer a dictatorship, but if the staff honestly believed we were really just reverting back to pre-WC rule why did anyone think it was acceptable to keep something like this a secret?

I felt on shaky ground about the whole issue,
which is why I didn't just make the thread.

I THINK the idea was that even the knowledge
of the existence of such a thread was viewed as
somehow debilitating to those on it. I'm really not
sure why it was never publicized officially.

I'm NOT disturbed by the creation in secret.
It came down to an agreement among the
staff (with one exception) to not prank anyone
on it. But, given that there was no clear way
onto the list, it struck me as very odd. And,
my memory (which is faulty at times) tells me
that people were added, without being told
about it. One of those expressed (and no, I wouldn't
search down the post - even if that wouldn't give
the member on the list's name away) surprise at the
existence of such a list - which could have been feigned.

As I remember (and I can't be arsed to check), the list was born out of some members asking admins, in private, to not be pranked. There were a lot of pranks at the time, and so a thread was started in the admin forum instead of the WC or whatever, in order to not list the names of these members in public where they would run the risk of being targets *because* of being on that list. Some members who did complain in public got pranked against their wishes, all while the culprits asked them to be good sports.

Nothing malicious, nothing secretive, just a desire to keep those names below the radar while letting the admins know that these people did not want to be pranked.

And no one else could even see it, because the discussion
IS hidden.

, the list was born out of some members asking admins, in private, to not be pranked.

I don't remember such being mentioned. We had played with a
public thread, which was a dangerous idea, as it would (and did)
draw derision from other members. Dunc suggested the private
list. It seemed a good idea, in and of itself, even to me - just an
agreement by staff NOT to prank. A couple of staff members put
their names up, as a trial. Then, people were being added - but the
existence of the list was never publicized. So, someone like Hadron,
who was not on the in with the staff, and had certainly not expressed
any desire to not be pranked wouldn't know about it. Now, hypothetically,
let's say that he really was afraid of being pranked, and chose to present
the false front, in order to mitigate damage - shouldn't he too have a
right to have been on it? There was no public announcement of such
a thread (except for what I insinuated) and there was no discussion about
sending each and every member a notification of its existence.

So, those on it were by staff whim, at some level.

Quote

Nothing malicious, I agree. I did not, and never will,
understand why the existence of the list was hidden.
Why only those whom certain staff selected might
have been contacted. And why one member who was
on the list, didn't know of its existence.

The fact that the list's existence was not revealed then (it is public enough now, it seems) simply happened, I think. Again, there was no malice, no evil plans. And considering that some of the admins then whined about anyone daring to complain about being pranked, it wasn't much of a stretch to assume that publishing that list would create more problems for anyone not willing to "be a good sport".

Not everyone liked to be pranked, remember? Some people left, or considered leaving, because of the pranks.

As for what Hadron did or did not know, ask him. I don't really care.

Just that there should have been a means for the weakest here -
those without friendly staff having their best interests at
heart - perhaps those who even feel hounded by the friendly staff,
to have applied to the list.

I wasn't suggesting that the list should have been made public, but it seems off that its very exsistence was kept secret- I do believe there was no malicious thinking behind keeping it a secret, but the fact that it didn't occur to staff to anounce it to the membership is worrying.  Not least because, as cal points out, how could anyone who didn't happen to be friendly with an admin get their name on the list, but also because it makes you wonder what else it isn't occuring to staff members to mention.  Obviously this isn't much of an issue, being married to a staff member I trust 100%  :laugh:, but you must see that it may cause concern for other members. Perhaps it was just overlooked because people were tired of all the drama ???

It's NOT a matter of 'just didn't occur' though.
I brought this issue up, within the admin forum
LONG before I revealed anything about the list
to the membership.

I wasn't even given the usual - if you care, post a
thread about it. Given that the rules of the site
had just undergone some severe changes, and
my position was pretty fucking questionable (having
been briefly removed), I had reason not to just post
such without instruction.
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight

Sorry I misunderstood Odeon when he said it 'just happened' and I'd forgotten you said you'd mentioned making its exsistence public to the rest of the staff. 

Questions for current staff here because it makes sense to put them here with the rest of the discussion on this (sorry Cal if you'd rather I didn't do this I'll post them elsewhere):
1)Is this secret don't prank me list still in use?
2) Will there be a public announcement regarding how to get on this list for those who aren't friends with a staff member/psychic?
3) Does the fact the list was set up without a vote on the issue, despite some objection being made to its exsistence, mean that such 'staff only' decisions will be made again in the future?

Just so we all know where we stand now.

Other 'staff only' decisions were made.

to the membership. This shocked me,

The first do not prank me list in the public forum is the same as the one in the admin forum IIRC. So there is no need to add anything to the one in the admin forum. It hasn't been posted in for ages.

And I have pranked people in the last couple of weeks. :P

It is still unclear whether future admins would honor such a list, since it was only a gentleman's agreement not to prank the people on the list.  If someone starts such a thread saying that everyone who PMs an admin asking to be placed on the list will not be pranked, they may have only placed their names on a private Kick Me list for certain admins.  Given Hadron's statements about it, I think that he would definitely prank them if he were an admin and he would tell them to go to WP if they didn't like it.

I guess that we could start a poll about it.  However, even if we vote and the majority of members say that they think our staff should honor such a list, it is still a gentleman's agreement.  I can't imagine that the majority would vote that an admin who pranked someone who was on the Admin's Don't Prank list should be de-adminned, which is what I think you suggested.

Hmm...the list could be hidden, until and unless
the webmonkeys feel that it's a safe thing. I mean,
the list is there anyhow. Any admin who sees it might
well react the same way. Just stating its existence, and
spelling that proviso out, seems the best solution, to me.
The damned thing ONLY serves a purpose for those whom the
admins feel are in danger, as is (well, other than the fact that I
keep bringing it up - like the same old record - but it would be
buried otherwise, no?).

No point in the poll without such a penalty. Which is why I suggested it.

Hadron is a good choice because you had no reason to believe

come to using things like, "moving the goalposts a little"
as though they were facts, without ever actually
being correct. Same with the "round and round" to
be honest.

Nothing's changed. The goal is STILL to provide equity,
as much as possible. The only great shift came, when
you (and others) decided you couldn't face democracy.

I am VERY troubled by your apparent lack of reading comprehension. I was talking about Hadron, and only Hadron, and Hadron was participating in the pranks, and I therefore assumed that he wouldn't want to be on the list. Furthermore, he had full access to the admin forum at the time, and could easily have added himself to that list, had he wished to do so.

I have not talked about other members in this context. If you claim otherwise, prove it or shut up.

Cute how you attempt to extrapolate things from what I wrote, things that simply aren't there. Face it; you don't have a point, only your narcissism. If you keep on doing this, sooner or later you'll have to start doing your homework, and we know how that will end, don't we?

Looks like you're right. Just checked. Still, it doesn't change the reason to why I saw no reason to consider including Hadron. He approved of the pranks, and participated in them.

Discrimination against a person who approved of the pranks, by not including him on the no pranks list? That's a stretch, even for you. You're full of it, Cal, and you know it. Or should know because I don't consider you THAT stupid.

Not at all. You aren't he. Neither of us can truly understand
what another person's feelings would be. I think I'm going
to start a poll, to see just how many were indeed contacted.
Not that that's conclusive, but more than a couple of no's would
indicate that this is a pretty extensive issue, I think.

People NOT pranked might wish to avoid being so.
I KNOW that some who had never suffered such
were particularly disturbed by my prank affecting
them. More so than those who regularly had pranks
pulled.

Those who were contacted, and denied a problem,
might well have answered differently, had they
known about such a list. If the contact was only
done by ONE staff member, and they had any
suspicions of that member, they might have seen
it as a form of taunting. Why I think all private
correspondence about staff issues should actually
be monitored. Perhaps a special account, which
all staff can access? There's likely some sort of mod
to handle this, out there.

More likely, a member might feel that having their profile
changed back quickly would make them objects of derision.
A number of people (rightfully) became such, in the wake
of my prank.

Did Cal spam the admin forum?
Wouldn't you think that one of the staff members would have thought it was important to read another admin's posts in the admin forum in case it was important? 

Before anyone starts groaning I'm not starting all this up again- I just really don't believe that it didn't occur to any of the staff members to announce the list so people could be put on it.  I don't believe that no-one saw Cal's posts about doing this.  Why wasn't it announced as soon as it was started?  I honestly believe that perhaps who ever decided to make this list secretly thought it would be wise to wait to keep it from the membership -perhaps only till the fuss about the public list had died down. Why it never occurred to anyone to announce it later isn't as important as why it was decided to keep it quiet for a while in the first place. But everyone who might know the answer to this one seems to be keeping it to themselves.

PI,

First of all, you know perfectly well that spam happens in the admin forum as well. With Calandale's history of repeatedly spamming about his favoured subjects, I'm surely not the only one to skim through his posts, in the admin forum and elsewhere. But if you want me to (and with Calandale's permission), I can see how many protests he actually made in that forum and publish them here?

And I can only answer for myself, but I did not consciously keep that list a secret. Nor am I aware of anyone else consciously keeping it a secret. AFAIK, it was just something that happened when there were lots of pranks to worry about, and then slipped, just as lots of other subjects in that forum.

If you don't want to start this up again, don't bring it up. Don't hint at a conspiracy of some kind.  :grrr:
Title: Re: Calandale's turn in the spotlight

Did Cal spam the admin forum?

Lightly. As did others.
Having Milla and I in there
at the same time wasn't conducive
to keeping extraneous chat down.  :laugh:
Still, I'd guess less than 50 posts, in total.
And the spam was obvious, by being small
posts - one or two lines.

Quote
Wouldn't you think that one of the staff members would have thought it was important to read another admin's posts in the admin forum in case it was important? 

Most posts WERE responded to. As were
most points. At least by someone. These were
largely ignored (if not entirely - I can't really recall).

Quote
Why wasn't it announced as soon as it was started? 

It was started as a mere trial, with only one staff member's name
on it. And, in my prank (the only one which happened during that
period) that member did not get pranked, though otherwise eligible.
Sure got pissy about everyone else being so though.  >:D
Another seemed to think that there was an implied inclusion
of their own name on the list.

Anyhow, since it wasn't even available to those outside the
staff, at that time, there would be no reason to announce it.
Later, when others started to appear on it, is when my objections
were raised. And ignored. But, I supported the list, in general. And
did not consider the points which you have brought up - that the
membership as a whole would oppose it. Or even that they should
have any say - given that we are now technically a dictatorship. This
was an idea which was started by our fearless leader himself, and thus
had particular power.

Feel free. I think that there were two or three, all in a single thread.

I'm not hinting at a conspiracy- I saying what I suspected happened- judging by the fact that the person who seemed to have the biggest bee in their bonnet about people leaving because of the pranks hasn't answered any of the questions about why it was kept secret. 

The reason I said anything at all was because I not happy with the way Cal is being painted as a lying, shit stirrer who is the only one who's keeping this drama going.  I'm also frustrated by the fact it took me asking several times before anyone would offer any reason why the list was kept secret in the first place.

Your reply on November 3, BEFORE you were deadminned, BEFORE the pranks that got you deadminned:

Quote from: Snidely Whiplash
I don't think the current group is likely to
be a problem. I have no objections, but
think that we ought to formalize this, through
the WC, if we can. The only problem that I see
is that if someone like Pea gets elected, he may
honor the list, but give terrible shit to someone
for being on it.

Opt out can cause bullying.

On Nov 5, after several staff members had agreed to honour the list:

Quote from: Snidely Whiplash
So, are we publicizing the availability of
such a list?

Also on November 5, while the discussion was still going on, BEFORE your pranks:

Quote from: Snidely Whiplash
I think that we should just let people know
that there is such a list, and to PM an admin
if you wish to be added. I guess we could
drop people on ourselves, if we felt 'twas
necessary, but I'm hoping that this is merely
a temporary solution. I don't think that there's
a single one of us who is likely to pull such a
prank against someone who would mind -
with or without this list.

But, since this is voluntary, and some don't see
the idea of 'no pranks' as really being I2 any
longer, there may well be those who simply
won't agree.

We need to get some sort of direction from
the WC here, to either make such a list mandatory,
or simply add the kind of pranking that it prevents
to the impeachable offenses.

In one sense, this is actually an attempt to supplant
the power of the WC, as what happens if they were
to order us to make pranks against Callaway? Given
that I unthinkingly agreed to this list, I'd feel forced
to resign. Sure, this isn't going to happen, but it's
the type of thinking that we should put into things.
Finding one such possible problem probably means that
there are others.

You made another two posts in that thread before being deadminned, without suggesting to make the list public. You wished to add another member to it, and discussed the unfairness of admins pranking vs ordinary members being unable to.

Then, AFTER your pranks, AFTER you were reinstated, you made another nine posts in the thread, without another suggestion. Your posts were mostly about your pranks and how a possible new one would be different. I see no reason to publish any of those here.

Note that after you were deadminned, the thread was mostly about cleaning up after your mess. Also note that several admins, including Callaway, thought that of course the list should be made public, BEFORE you were deadminned. One reasoned that "we are not mind readers".

I'm not interested in your total # of posts in the admin forum.

Regarding this:

If you don't want to start this up again, don't bring it up. Don't hint at a conspiracy of some kind.  :grrr:

Yes. Because free discussion of issues can only shake our
faith.


It was merely a comment to PI, meaning that if she doesn't want to reopen the issue (not that I realised it had been closed), why devote a post to suggesting something that to my knowledge never happened? Of course *you* just HAVE TO put a slant to it, to suck us in again.


-------
And PI--sorry about the harsh response but I do feel that Cal deserves the bad rep. Of course he isn't the only one to keep the drama going; I'm as guilty as anyone else posting about it. However, I felt obliged to answer, because I know what took place and what didn't, and my opinion remains the same--he is shit-stirring. Furthermore, Cal's been making less than flattering remarks about me for some time now, as well, to which I also feel I need to respond. Call me weak. ;)

So now we know that Cal did suggest that something needed to be done about the list.  Still don't know what response this got- although I can understand you can't repost those without permission.

My memory is completely off base on this one then.
I don't remember arguing that the WC should have dealt
with it, BUT I am certain that I've put a number of complaints
up about it being private - I presumed that they were in that
thread. Certainly, once the WC was dissolved, there was no
need to deal with the mere membership - as things were
fully in the hands of Dunc and his Jolly crew.

I was also wrong about none of us pulling a prank on someone
who would mind.  >:D But, I didn't think that my prank was
at all abusive. I really thought everyone would take it in very
good humor.

As to a 'slant' I don't see it. IF discussion is going to be squelched
through ridicule, it seems just as fair to use hyperbole. My arguments
were ridiculed before I was upset enough at what I saw - indeed, that
was a good part of what has caused my stance. Arguing points calmly
didn't work, and wasn't much fun, when all I'd get was a big yawn. At
least this isn't so one sided.

If you don't want to start this up again, don't bring it up. Don't hint at a conspiracy of some kind.

I'm not hinting at a conspiracy- I saying what I suspected happened- judging by the fact that the person who seemed to have the biggest bee in their bonnet about people leaving because of the pranks hasn't answered any of the questions about why it was kept secret. 

The reason I said anything at all was because I not happy with the way Cal is being painted as a lying, shit stirrer who is the only one who's keeping this drama going.  I'm also frustrated by the fact it took me asking several times before anyone would offer any reason why the list was kept secret in the first place.

As well as Cal's posts about this it would be interesting to read what, if any response these got.

If you are referring to me as being the person with a bee in her bonnet, I answered several days ago. but maybe you missed seeing my post, Purposeful Insanity.

I wasn't suggesting that the list should have been made public, but it seems off that its very exsistence was kept secret- I do believe there was no malicious thinking behind keeping it a secret, but the fact that it didn't occur to staff to anounce it to the membership is worrying.  Not least because, as cal points out, how could anyone who didn't happen to be friendly with an admin get their name on the list, but also because it makes you wonder what else it isn't occuring to staff members to mention.  Obviously this isn't much of an issue, being married to a staff member I trust 100%  :laugh:, but you must see that it may cause concern for other members. Perhaps it was just overlooked because people were tired of all the drama ???

The list's existence was not kept secret for very long at all, Purposeful Insanity, maybe for a week or two while we were discussing it and figuring out what would happen with people who were on it.  Its existence is public now.  It was started at Dunc's suggestion and it was just meant for staff to honor as a gentleman's agreement, I think.  Although Calandale suggested that there be some sort of official sanctions against admins who prank someone on the list, I don't think anyone else supported that idea.  As you said, it was pointed out that anyone who put their names on the public Don't Prank Me list were pasting a giant Kick Me sign on their backs to be pranked by other members.  If someone expressed their desire not to be pranked by staff either publicly, like on the public Don't Prank Me list, or in private, they were added to the list, as far as I know.  There were some people who were upset enough by the admin pranks that they were ready to leave, so all the staff at the time pretty much agreed to honor the list.  Renaeden's correct that it has not been posted in for quite some time.  I have no intention of pranking anyone who is on it, though.  

Calandale is suggesting that there was some sort of conspiracy to keep the list a secret, but there wasn't.  Nobody was deliberately keeping the list a secret until Calandale's prank happened.  Everyone who posted agreed that the availability of the list should be made public.  We were discussing it and trying to figure out what would happen with people who were on it, given that there were concerns that the people on the public one were on a sort of kick-me list.  At first, nobody was on it at all, but then I put myself on it as a sort of lab rat.  I think that I was concerned about adding anyone else to it without knowing what would happen to them, so I added myself and waited to hear more opinions.  There was a lot of drama going on all over the board at the time, and I think that everyone was very preoccupied with this drama.  For example, Dunc started his "Is this working out (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=6520.0)" poll on November 6 and there was also a lot of drama going on just before then which led to him making this poll.

The availability of the list is public and has been for months and now there is a poll (http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=7633.0) about it.

Callaway- you still haven't answered the questions I've been asking all along- why was it not announced as soon as it was decided to create the secret list (or after Cal pointed out that it should be)?  And why wasn't it put to a vote before it was created since some members had raised objections to its existence - why did the staff decide to go ahead with it anyway without allowing members to vote on it? That's what I've been objecting to.

That's what I've been objecting to.

tried to keep out of this, but i can't any more, because it's turned into yet another drama.

PI, the circumstances at the time were all over the place, to say the least.  people were freaking out about their profiles being tampered with; admins were trying to deal with the fact that the whole board had been compromised, so that people couldn't access it; the issue of whether or not the do not prank list would've equated to a big "kick me" label was being discussed; and all sorts of other things were happening at once.       

because of all this, it was difficult, if not impossible, to take a good, clear and cool look at potential ramifications of setting up the do not prank list.  there was a lot of what could be called crisis management going on at the time, rather than a nice linear flow of events with breathing space in between.

the matter of approaching members privately rather than on the board was more to do with the "kick me" label than anything else.  when some more vocal members were saying they didn't like the pranks, and other were saying they did, the usual to-ing and fro-ing was going on and, as usual, there was no clear-cut decision made, or much chance of coming to a compromise, let alone an agreement.

so, no conspiracy, just the usual I2 messiness, debates rambling all over the place and knee-jerk reactions (a.k.a. trying to think on the hoof, if i'm being charitable).  and yes, i include myself in all that, too.

I agree. Still doesn't explain why a sticky wasn't made, at the time.
Nor why, even after things settled down, repeated calls for such
were ignored.

I agree. If anyone is paranoid, it's me,
and I really don't believe that there was
any attempt to stop such a sticky. Just that
there was the normal disinterest in the hands
of most of the staff to do a damned thing.

But, then again, the fact that I DIDN'T makes
me wonder what my views were, at the time.
Normally, I have no difficulty in just taking something
like that upon myself. Still, the rebuke which I had received
from both dunc and odeon, as well as the fact that neither
spoke out that it was an acceptable thing to do, may just
have had me cowed from taking that action.

I know that at the time staff members were PMing Dunc practically baying for the blood of the new staff members, some gently suggesting that just removing them from their staff role wasn't enough and removal from the WC would be justified in their opinion .  I  I know that people were threatening to leave if they didn't get their own way and I know that set some into a panic. So in some ways I understand why someone on staff decided to just go ahead and make a secret no prank list, but lets not pretend that people setting that list up didn't know people might object if they knew cos that's just naive.     
   AND- what was the point of making such a list if no-one got to know about it?  Except a select handful did get to know about it- those that someone on staff thought might like adding to the list and contacted to ask them- if the list was really to protect members why was the protection offered to only a special few?   

I'd be more likely to believe the no conspiracy line if people hadn't had to be badgered for an answer, and if people were willing to post their reply to Cal's asking about letting the members know about the list.  Cos we've seen proof that he did ask more than once, but the replies he got haven't be shown to the general membership.

Because unless the staff did so because they wanted to avoid more complaints about the no prank list there was no reason for it not to have been clearly announced as soon as it was started.

What will it mean when that small percent who object or just disappear all together gets bigger? I think the results of the get rid of the admins vote show there's more discontent than there are people posting about it.

THIS, I did not know.
I've been troubled enough by the
decision that certain of us were ineligible to
EVER serve again, even when one such was
allowed to remain an admin, AFTER all the
supposed crimes occurred. I mean, IF hadron
was going to be a true danger, why wasn't he
simply removed? Something I asked at the time,
and got no answer which would indicate the later
decision to NOT allow him to even run.

Yeah. Such a pity that some couldn't take having their
profiles touched. People who laugh, when it happens to
others. I've had mine fucked with, many a time, and never
ONCE did the crew of whiners say a damned thing about it
being wrong. Only callaway, of the bunch, ever made
any effort, when by PM she asked if I wanted it changed
back (this whilst I was 'personally attacking' her, by her definition,
but BEFORE I pranked everyone, which seems to have turned
her against me).

1. I don't believe that there was a conscious 'conspiracy', but I may
be naive. I think it was the situation as normal - looking out for your own -
which permeates a certain group here. The same kind of complaints which
brought down a couple of WP moderator teams, and will likely bring the current
one down. Too much power, and it gets abused - it really is that simple.

2. As to replies, it is my belief that there were NONE. Certainly none from any
of the long-established powers. It is possible that ren or milla made some small
comment regarding them. My memory is not photographic, and I do not archive
site discussions for later use.

Which shocks me. How many here are actually in fear,
of some sort? I've seen behavior from some, which strikes
me as purely sycophantic. Much as I saw in response to my
banning at WP. Because, if people ARE in fear, doesn't that
totally undermine what this site is about?

Thing is, sometimes I wonder if the fear is more of being attacked,
than of any kind of actual abuse. I mean, if ANYONE were going to
be horribly targeted, it should be me - and the worst that I've seen
is certain little annoying inconveniences. Certainly nothing that should
scare anyone. But, if people are scared to speak their minds, because they
might be attacked - well, what the fuck are they even doing here?

The clique is loose. Not terribly well defined. It is NOT
a formal thing. I would certainly include you in it, however,
given the ways in which you helped with certain hounding,
AND the way in which you were 'protected' from attacks.

Any others want my opinion, they can ask directly.
I'd suspect most already have a pretty damned good clue
though. A group which NEVER seems to actually fight one
another, fawns over one another's posts, and rushes to each
others' defense, even against the weakest of us.

In addition to whatever core there is to this behavior, there is
also a ring of satellites, who are less inclined to help, but receive
such from the core.

Note, that I'm NOT saying that any of this is deliberate nor planned.
I really don't see it as any more than normal cliquish human behavior.

But, in some instances, it has caused what I see as harm to the site.
Of course, the members of the clique probably see any challenge to
their ways as causing harm too.

other people. I'm not giving that. That simple. Just keep your
fucking eyes open, and see who always agrees with the three
of you. It's pretty god damned clear.

ooooooh, it's the three of us now, is it?  i'm to be included in the hallowed echelons of odeon and callaway.  i'm so excited i could shit.  ::)

I presumed that Odeon and Callaway were OBVIOUS. honestly, the whole bunch
is, to anyone who looks. You got eyes. Or, just ask all your friends to ask me.
I think you'll find about a 90% hit rate. Though, you may miss a few.

Whether you call it a clique, a group of friends, a cult just because people hate being lumped together doesn't make it less true that certain people will almost always jump to the defence of certain other people- yes that also happens with the non-popular people.    All perfectly allowed under the banner of free speech and I realise there is nothing to do to change that. its just human nature, but lets not all pretend that we're somehow all special people above all that.

Less so, I think. And I've certainly seen that the further
one gets from the group which I am particularly talking
about, the MORE willing that any other supposed clique
is to attack and squabble amongst one another.

Now, that could just be that those of us outside are
FAR less 'likable' (read compliant?).

Because unless the staff did so because they wanted to avoid more complaints about the no prank list there was no reason for it not to have been clearly announced as soon as it was started.

You keep saying that. It wasn't, however.

Post by: Calandale on March 08, 2008, 04:33:52 PM
How much money would you value your time at if you could set the price?

The question is non-sensical. I value my life above my time (oh, not intellectually,
but in actions), and take steps to maintain that thing. Now, IF I could set the
price, I'd set it so high that I could only be afforded for very tiny bits of time.
I don't really value MONEY per say. So, it's like comparing how much copper
tubing you consider bananas to equate with. I can come up with sliding scales,
and the like, but it really wouldn't help, I think. I knew that I'd need work, and
couldn't turn down their offer. Not with any admission that I was actually looking
for work.

And, I had thought I had good reason to do so. Convinced I was wrong about that,
but now, it's as easy to be miserable working as miserable not.

Sorta set hours. I mean, I really should be in the office for 8 hours a day.
But, I have some flexibility as to when I go in and leave, which is nice. I know
that there will be weekends when I'll be asked to work - which doesn't really
bug me. Officially, I'm paid by the hour, but it's really set up more like a salary

Actually I think you're just being a jackass, spamming this thread. This is the closest thing Intensity has to an anti-drama haven, and there seems to be a need for it, much as I prefer to stay the hell away myself.

Ah, so I should allow the distortions,
as I see them, to be allowed unhindered
here?

Why not? Does it hurt your cause that badly if there is one thread where you're not talking about it?

If that's the case, I have to wonder whether there's anything more meaningful than shouting behind your words.

As I see it, intense is ALL about drama.
Can't handle the  heat? There's always WP.

Why not? Does it hurt your cause that badly if there is one thread where you're not talking about it?

There are PLENTY. In that thread, the issue came up.
And yes, any squelching of discussion of an issue is THAT
bad.

If that's the case, I have to wonder whether there's anything more meaningful than shouting behind your words.

Wonder away. You think I know the answer?

Of course you're entitled. Comes across as hypocritical, to me.

I'm not trying to intimidate anyone. Just wasn't willing
to allow distorted answers to remain. Just as I am partly to
blame for the discussions continuation, as I KNOW that odeon
cannot walk away from a fight - even when he has absolutely
nothing to offer, those who brought up the issue there are at
least as much to blame as I: they should KNOW just as well that
I'm not going to let some half-truth to remain on an issue I care
about.

As to dunc being useful, IMO that usefulness went out the
window, with his stonewalling tactics. Yeah, he may know more
than anyone about how to run such a site, but such power is
too dangerous in the hands of someone unwilling to be accountable.

I hope not. I admit I'm not sure on this one. Part of what it's about is me trying to understand why anyone would possibly want a thread like Dunc's. And yet there seem to be a whole lot of members who enjoy it. I don't get it, but there's enough evidence that I don't want to just write it off and ignore it.

I would agree, except that I am willing to play someone else's game long enough to get information from them, and I got exactly the information I was looking for, when I did so. Therefore I see less danger than I think you do.

I don't think so. Splitting a new topic off would have been
squelching somewhat, but even that would be defensible,
if done correctly.

thread.  :laugh:

Doesn't really matter what one person sees. The real danger
lies in the fact that so many were willing to allow something
which they didn't understand to be blown past them. Without
clear public disclosure, just about anything can be shoved under
the rug. Probably even with, here.

True. But I don't care. It's only the superficial appearance of weakness. It would look far more weak to keep going on about it in an attempt to defend my supposed honor. The betrayal of too much passion amongst those who don't share it leads to exploitation of it. You know, that very thing you've accused Callaway of using.  :P  If anybody really wanted to challenge me on my points, they know exactly where to find me, and I'd answer.

Heh. BUT, the point is that they see my response, and that you've
stopped. There's no 'honor' at stake here, for you. Though, it would
have looked a bit hypocritical to continue it there, after what you said.
So, in a sense, we both win.  :laugh:

I don't remember doing this. I've accused her of fighting dirtier than I would,
being addicted to remaining in power, placating others in hopes of the prior goal,
and being turned by exceedingly trivial matters. The latter is the closest, because
she then would use every opportunity and weapon in order to fight, but I don't
see any exploitation of the passion itself. Just a blindness to other factors in other
contexts.

There was a point a while back where you were going after her for not showing any of herself on here, while attacking you for having shown yourself. I tried a few searches but there seems to be a problem with the site search function and I'm not about to go track them down by hand.

Was it for some reason other than thinking she was exploiting passion?

Ah yes. I don't see exploiting passion as part of that. I included that
in not fighting fairly. She was attacking me (and others) with personal
things which we revealed, without having revealed much herself. But, given
that scrap had done the same to her, in the one instance that I found most
egregious, I've let that go largely.

I think I 'exploit' my passion in any fight I'm in.
I couldn't be bothered otherwise.

I'm learning things. I've been frustrated by politics for a long time - it's always seemed like such a complex system that I could never understand enough of, one detail at a time, to have any hope of sorting through even a simple issue like which presidential candidate to vote for.

But there seem to be enough bridges between the functioning of individual psychology and the operation of a small group that I'm wondering if it's a workable model for coming closer to understanding of larger groups. Not perfect of course, but I see the whole universe as a fractal anyway, so it helps.

Ah, I forget how young you are. Hell, there are probably moments
where I believe that I'm trying to change things here. Or that I have
some goal to discover. Chaos, there really was one - which only really
applied to online sites: there are different rules. But, I can't see getting
too much about the intricate functionings of political machinery through
some small group. Yes, key decisions ARE made for very personal reasons,
but the machinery itself has it's own life, which can't be understood by
JUST understanding the people involved. Nor can people be understood
from afar. One has to taste them, to really get a measure.

What, because all old people are depressed and cynical about their ability to change anything? I hope I never get that kind of old, and I see no reason my mind would get burned out so long as I can keep up the momentum of discovery.

I'm not sure what's the best way to figure out the machinery. We don't see much of that here precisely because of what you discovered - it's too small a system, people don't want the kind of mechanics you tried to get implemented. Would have been top heavy.

I suppose I'll have to watch the business world.

I'm not too worried about being able to taste people though - my taste buds do operate from afar.

No. Because you don't have much experience about how small groups work.

Defining the machinery was the thing which riled them.
Things work just fine for those who hold the current
reigns, and they wouldn't want that shaken up. Again
though, this isn't conscious, but the fear of restrictions on
how staff could operate was too much for some. Newer staff
tend to be very tentative (except say hadron), and unwilling
to make moves which will piss anyone off. The established people
have a good feel about how those who voted them in/might
complain will react to things, so they don't fuck with shit which
will cause possible problems. Of course, it's ok to fuck with an
outsider's shit.

Among other things. Remember that not all of the
'business world' is apparent though. There's big money

I figured it would be safe - that you wouldn't be suicidal now.

Oops.

I still work in the same place doing the same thing. I do it well and easily and not asked to take on more responsibility nor berated for bad performance. So I get on with it and have no real stress. I get a fair bit of flexibility too which is good

As far as I can explain it, Twitch is an internet channel.  Members play games like Dead Souls 2, Saboteur, Postal, etc. on-line in real time.  If you follow the player you can watch the game and interact with other viewers and the player via chat.  Evidently the player pays a fee for playing, but viewing is free.

I think he's done an amazing job of setting the Republican Party up for some of the worst times they are likely to have.
This is important because he will have to co-opt their support in order to destroy certain institutions. A strong Republican
party would be likely to (eventually) draw a line in the sand at some point - but here he's going at the very heart of the
'deep state', and perhaps ensuring their support for an eventual autocratic replacement.


He's got a strict timeline though. The 2018 elections will have to be postponed, or the full crisis brought to a head by then.




It's intriguing to watch a master, with real practice at this, arranging such a thing. But, the democratic institutions
were already so weakened that I suppose it was inevitable one way or another - the bureaucratic ones may have
been the only remaining pillar of defense.

The DNC has had their credibility eroded. The Democrats have two things going for them and both are tenuous. The Mueller investigation and the fact that they side with the establishment. He has done an incredible job of eroding both.

A year in he is STILL not leading his party completely. If I had to give percentages of where he stands now I would say that the establishment wing of the GOP resting on Mitch McConnel is still in charge of maybe 40% of the hearts and minds of the GOP and 30% with the President, with the balance waiting to see which way the wind blows.

If he was to get impeached or otherwise ousted, it would fall on Mike Pence to lead and Mike would quickly fall in lockstep with the Establishment and quickly get control of the party. It would become business as usual in Washington and most of the big plans of trump would fall away.

Trump always had a path to getting control and taking over the party but it was always going to be a hard road.

I believe Mueller has nothing substantial to hurt Trump and cause his impeachment. But that is not to say he will not go down that path. I give 50/50 that he either exonerates him and throws a heap of indictments and charges at Republicans, Lobbyists and Democrats, and allows the Presidency to go ahead unharassed, OR tries to doctor charges to be litigated out through court which Trump will be further inconvenienced with but will likely win out with.

The best time to drop any such BS will be before the midterms. I think that is his plan. But with the way things are coming out with Strozk and McCabe and Fusion GPS, and the various players, it is looking worse and worse for everyone NOT called Trump.

This has been a Hell of a ride and I love watching it roll out.

This is an interesting perspective. From the beginning believed Trump wasn't intended to win, and his being elected was an unexpected error in some larger design to ensure Clinton to be elected. FourAceDeal said some time back he viewed Trump as a stalking horse, designed to take down Clinton and pave the way for someone else. Viewed that as a unique viewpoint deserving of consideration.

It's intriguing to watch a master, with real practice at this, arranging such a thing.
It's not only interesting Trump being viewed as a pawn, but that he also is aware of being one.

He's wrecking more than that. He's brought the media into more question than ever, is dismantling the state department - basically
any power base which can oppose him.

It doesn't matter though. He's presenting the Republicans with a choice - My way or the Toilet. If they are complicit in helping
preserve the democratic institutions, or even just try sitting it out, they are finished for years.

There's enough on the record for an impeachment to proceed. But, it's a political game, and the question is whether the Republicans
are willing to throw Trump under the bus, and lose, or surrender the remaining tatters of our democracy and be nominal winners
in the following regime.

He's squandering what remains of our geo-political leadership position, among other things.

Most of the rest is stuff that any conservative would do.
Quote
What do you think he has done that is impeachable?


Violation of the emoluments clause, to begin with. That's pretty much right out there.


If obstruction of justice matters, he's admitted it already.


There's really no need for an investigation - except that impeachment is political,
and the Republicans are willing to keep him around, for whatever reason.


I somewhat assumed it was Ryan's plan - so that he can get enough evidence to take Pence down at the same time.
Not sure he's that clever though.

Quote

Well, he has someone in place who seems to do his bidding. We're not taking down his puppets, nor opposing Russian expansionist
policies. Trump's actions are helping to degrade Nato and the other geo-political structures that Russia would like to see gone.

Quote

1. He's in Russia's pocket. And maybe other extra-national interests who control his sources of income.
2. He's further (and greatly) damaging the institutions which the US constructed over the 20th Century; steps which could well pave the way to an authoritarian take over. He sure didn't start that path though - that's got more to do with the polarization.


Outside of that, his policies align with the far-right in ways which I see as dangerous. But, a Ted Cruz would have done the same there.
I'm pretty sure a Sanders' presidency would have been as destabilizing to the center, and seem as threatening to banking interests
in a manner which would seem as dangerous to others. I'm not sure a moderate government is even possible (see damage to institutions)
in this era.

Again, I dunno?

"Violation of the emoluments clause" - This MAY be true. I know he is taking the sum of $1/year for his office but that his businesses are running. I understand his children are running them and I imagine that there is some trust or transfer of ownership in place but to be honest, I simply do not know. Nor does it appear does anyone else. People speculate and maybe they are right.

"If obstruction of justice matters, he's admitted it already." Except he hasn't. He got rid of Comey and it was COMPLETELY in his power to do so as Comey served under him. His comments and the optics were far from good BUT the investigations continued regardless. Not just with the special counsel and unabated.

"Well, he has someone in place who seems to do his bidding. We're not taking down his puppets, nor opposing Russian expansionist
policies. Trump's actions are helping to degrade Nato and the other geo-political structures that Russia would like to see gone."

Except, that Trump, whether right or wrong in his efforts to put America first and get other countries to pay their fair share and lessen the burden of cost on the US, is NOT a play for Putin even IF it benefits Putin. I reckon Putin would love it if every powerful country followed suit and squared off against their peers. It weakens any collective that may band against him BUT countries doing that whilst it may be better for them are not necessarily doing it on his say so nor with him in mind nor for his benefit.

"1. He's in Russia's pocket. And maybe other extra-national interests who control his sources of income."

How? 12 months and I have yet to see the collusion. It is a great talking point and for all I know may be true BUT I see no proof of this and it is a big claim without the proof needing to back it.

"2. He's further (and greatly) damaging the institutions which the US constructed over the 20th Century; steps which could well pave the way to an authoritarian take over. He sure didn't start that path though - that's got more to do with the polarization."

He is absolutely taking a sledgehammer to them. Why this is a good thing or a bad thing is up for question. My belief is that Arts, Media, Academia, Politics and virtually every facet of life has been moving further and further left politically and the Establishment is corrupt and becoming more and more so. When I say further and further left, I do not think it is Liberal. I think it is Progressivism and that is much further Left. I do not think that Trump is the answer to all ills but if he can inadvertantly or deliberately smash a few of these things and allow things to swing back to a more moderate Left position, I would consider it a good thing. I think if it does swing back it will not stop there and the Religious Right or some other for of Far Wing politics may come to the fore and that will be no better, but I do not think Progressivism is a viable option either.

Yes, you do know. Impeachment is a political process. It was left vague for a reason.
Pretty much anything (including his Twit-feed) could probably serve as an impeachable offense.

Using powers of an office can certainly end up as a crime. But again, the question is Impeachable. Andrew Johnson was impeached
for what amounted to executive discretion, after all.

Opinion. There would be a cover. What we know is that there was unprecedented contact between the Trump campaign
and Russian government associates, unprecedented financial entanglements with Russian connections,  and that Trump is now performing
actions which greatly benefit Putin's aims. Circumstantial, but enough that no sane person would vote for Trump
if he hadn't been running against someone who had as many damning trails leading back to them.

You ask what I see as the cons. Every scrap of circumstantial evidence I see appears to point to Trump long being on
Putin's payroll (since well before the election). Proof for this is as unnecessary as proof of his intentions toward the wall.

Really? Look at the (supposedly conservative) Nixon agenda. There was a huge swing to the right in the Reagan era, and it has
snowballed heavily. Obama managed to stand as something of a stopgap to it, temporarily. Now, I'll grant you, there was a
very large swing to the left, from FDR (or even Teddy) on - but that's what's being eaten into these days, not the spike of (supposed) liberalism
of the late 60's.


Quote
and the Establishment is corrupt and becoming more and more so.


That is the nature of government. But, the changes that we're seeing are further centralizing power in a manner which
is leading to a situation ripe for autocracy. There is no good way out of this - the best we can hope for is to soften the
fall.




Quote

The 20th Century was defined by such swings. So too, the 19th. At least in American politics. The early postwar period had the
advantage of an incredible economic position globally (which couldn't last without more big wars) and what amounted to a one-party
state, running under two names, Democrat and Republican. A time of growth and apparent stability.

You can chalk it all down to luck - and do the same with any genius. The magic in play is that he's

Yes, but they were restricted in tonnage by the Anglo-German Naval Agreement of 1935.

They were only allowed to have 45% of the tonnage of submarines that Britain had.
