Oh relax, guy. Was a joke, yes? Funny, yes?


OK, maybe not so funny.

What about Jerry Falwell? We ought to have at least one Fundamentalist Christian viewpoint around here, just to keep the balance...

Steve, are any and all sock-puppets going to be treated as 'gimmick' accounts from now on, or just the amusing ones?

I have personality here somewhere I swear, ask Badhat.

and i hadn't even set up my "dick cheney" account yet. i suppose that's what i get for procrastinating.

Shit, am I a gimmick?

I was going for the longest membership with the least amount of posts ratio (still active category) record.

I mean 51 posts in 733 days. Thats got to count for something right? Someone has to offset Marsup and That Damned Fly.

Right?

Stern has my new favorite avatar.









That is all.

A good way to manage this proactively, all the new accounts that SDP is gonna try and create to keep the nonsense alive, would be to ban all the IP addresses that are known to be proxy/anonymizer addresses. Nobody's got any genuine need to post from them, except people who've had their real IP address banned.

Right?

Pretty sure there have been posts made in the past week or two by people who've been members since 2003 who have fewer posts than you. So if that really was you angle, you're failing. Although, if you post only one or two more times in the next 5 or 10 years, you might find yourself holding that title.

You realize there are millions of them, right?

I've told you a thousand times not to exaggerate.
