New Are you telling me I'm somebody now?
Because I think I liked it better when I was a nobody.
It's like, "How much more black could this be?", and the answer is none. None more black.

New Maybe some perspective will help.
CRC used to be able to flame like the Usenet trolls of yore. All and sundry were much impressed by his flamage, which became all the more impressive when we realized that he lived in Finland, and didn't speak English as his native language. He's also been quite coherent and has a point to make with his flames in the past.

He mainly takes the time to flame people he actually appreciates - not sure what the Freudian implications of that are, but if you've been flamed by him, you're pretty much guaranteed to be "one of the good guys."

Lately, however, his flames have been lacking a certain something. My guess is that fatherhood has mellowed our CRC a bit, and he just doesn't have the energy to really get ye old napalm chucker rolling any more...

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

That's not quite ironic, but it's ... something.

New "misquote Bush"? You can't really do that.
Because if you mangle any handful of words and it happens that Dub hasn't mangled them in the same fashion yet, in the immortal words of Snow, "just wait".

I used to think that once, but once you become accepted and an actual part of IWT, everything fits into place, and everyone has their place. And well, when any of them are missing, it's just not the same place. Case in point, DeSitter, who left us a while back. Without his take on certain things, certain things seem lacking. Yeah, I know, he bugged all of us at one point or another, but he still contributed enough to be interesting and fill one of the gaps here.

CRC is a wonderful person when you get to know him, understand the way he posts, and you might even come to enjoy him, as I have. :)
