(to your suggested behaviour pattern)
More than likely I'll continue to comment following any raucous event of bogus analysis-of-gossip via parsing its sentences -- in about any venue.
And when the bogus is applauded - why that'll be another quaint ritual to disbelieve and meretriculate. Then when excoriated (with a bit less virtuosity than usual - whasammata, don't I rate the A-Team anymore, Sonny?) for Part B, why.. here comes Part C -
I've read more crap on this (and more sources than, I deem - you have). But I paid more attention to the seed, and the very familiar caterwauling (for the second time in a year) of the now ex-Yaz. LOved his sanctimonious {sniff} farewell, following the trashing of "a List I didn't find very useful". And the "leaving earlier than I'd planned" - why that was pure Quayle-ish in its pompous insincerity.
And you want to flay Karsten for bein impetuous (and creative, and experimental) and hangin around here (and posting more detailed, meticulous stuff in TWiki than anyone - including co-authorship of the lovely G&S Spoof) - as if he's some dim-wit Wacko? Izzat It, oh macro-measurer of the hoary-phrase?
Was Karsten's immediate riposte excessive? I mean .. WTF DOES "fuck you" connnote, in this band of brawling peripatetic info-scoundrels - anyway?
Is that approximately "Hey.. Wrong-o Budd-o" or Vastly-worse?
Was Karsten's de-listing (in temporary fashion - as opposed to the Full Beefeaters Formal Banning Parade) an indication of a fatally deranged Madman or, maybe someone with too little sleep and pissed off? Capital crime or - an indication to Management:
STOP! .. ..TAKE THE TIME TO COOL OUT and then - rip One epaulet?
You Be the Judge\ufffd and I Know you Will.
Then the pile-on ramped up, with imputations of "Regular Mischief" and "Self-Serving" ~~ "appropriation of a resource" yada fucking yada - ignoring the point that
(whether wanted by a majority [something not yet knowable] or opposed by an Instant-yammering provocateur; shades of Aberdeen)
-- this was about adding an *optional* feature for any who might want to use it - at the humongous COST of 2-ish 'messages' to the fucking queue.. for this silly little test.
My, technocrats: Such A BF-Deal! Haemmorrhoid Material for Some; wft IS this place: Barry's giga-Ads/msec production facility or something?
Any way one searches for euphemisms - a dismal juvenile charade. And I said so.
And may do such mad things, just because.
No likeee - tough shit, Ol Buddy; (but sorry to see yer losin it; yup def. signs of mellow ;-)
Nobody fucks with Paul Lazzaro
Edit: Forgot -
Can Karsten be a bit of a prick, on occasion?
I suppose so, given the inputs so far.
Personally though, I prefer:
Accuse/Trial/Hang rather than other preferred sequences, even where time is so incredibly precious, as in this production facility.
There: Fair and Balanced Reportage.
I'll go farther - you may in fact be Right-On, in your simple summary - as recent information suggests - but I could not See It, given the blanket of pile-on noise, which I found particularly odious. The "analysis of gossip" is always and everywhere Still bogus, IMO.
Truth will out, eventually. Maybe just as well that it isn't stark..
