We are not all as deeply & widely read as you. Your colorful style is what makes a place like this such a melting pot & contrasts with the brainless & game players (in psych sense) among us. ***************************************************** My pet peeve (& I know many feel the same) is dealing with no-names & persistent anonymous posters & those who create avatars to stalk these forum halls. These phantoms are harmless if they come in disguise (drag in some cases) to snoop & listen or to seriously protect an identity for legitimate saftey or legal reasons. But they can create a problem when they post voluptuously whilst pretending to be a personality who they are not. At worst they have malicious intent & the greatest criminal example of that was Microsoft executives posing as IBM customers on Canpus BBS, to attack IBM under their false identities (a crime they got clean away with). Am sure there are some who are just geeks who think it is funny (to their geeky selves) to pretend to be someone else & to play a false identity. That may be okay in short bursts (growing pain experiments) but a problem if persisted over a long period. In psychiatry it is considered a mental disorder <grin> are you listening Mr Marlowe/Barlowe/Geek/Freak. But when these people blatantly troll & flood the forum with posts in an in-yer-face manner, whilst hiding their identity. They deserve excommunication (axecommunication).

Post #70,586 by Andrew Grygus 12/23/02 8:58:54 PM Reply	Ah, but Bubbles is as real as most here. Trying out her new computer and learning how to navigate things like forums, she reacted to comments by others comparing Ashton's political and rhetorical style to her own. In truth, she cannot comment further or defend herself for two months or more, for the computer has been packed away for a road trip. Nor did anyone intended to be disparaging of Ashton, who is enlightening, amusing and confusing, sometimes all at once. Bubbles explained the relationship between "Archimedes" and "Bubbles" (see sig line) - some film or book where the Wizard could never remember his Owl's name (Archimedes), so he called the owl Bubbles instead. I think I mentioned "obscure references". [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
Post #70,593 by Ashton 12/23/02 9:47:33 PM Reply	Well then.. long may Bubbles effervesce! As to her style.. I have never supposed that 'I choose a style'; believe that the CU (collective..) chooses us. I also note that no two of us arrange our holographic memories very similarly. So If B happens to have channeled a similar phase-space.. two months? disconnected - a mere bagatelle: Our timeline trisects hyperbolic space near Aleph Null. In two months; W will likely still be talking, Ashcroft's nude statues will still be draped and the Lott-2nd-string replacement will be making more inane speeches like his weasley unacceptance treacle du jour. "Unity" indeed.. not to be confused with the friend of the absent-minded Owlover to whom you allude. As to this modern-day Hypatia's nom de plume: Babbit + troubles would be arcane, but would yield Boubles. Then in It Can't Happen Here, the bucolic spouter of poisoned homilies was named Berzelius Windrip - (who all the while, Loved the People just as much as he feared and detested Persons.) Nothing fizzy there - So if there be a Bubbles indeed, clearly she shall have much to answer for; my guess is that she will provide the suitable Questions. Ashton PS - Surely then.. Our Hypatia has her personal copy of TDTESS (!) and recognizes that Gort IS the Big Daddy all Authoritarians long for.. as much as the biznessmen love the phrase, 'We had no choice.

They sure as shit aren't gonna be seen on zIWE, now are they? I think that Tom Paine would approve of the pen as Sword - and would see The Beast as a palpable symbol of much more than.. a merely schlock marketing farce: that Beast would die in a few months, if the vox populi weren't such unmitigated ignoramuses.

Marlowe treats us to 1) A false persona that we (many of us) know is false 2) Floods this forum with his news clipings & his troll-bait one-line 'I Say' comments 3) Ignores posts that tell him we know he is false & to either put-up or shut-up 4) Continues to make the inflamatory comments in its false persona The pain-in-the-ass here is that he trolls for reactions (and has been for many months) but because Marlowe is a false identity & thus a false person, it is pointless trying to discuss posts with it as a person (because it is a false person & you never know what is a genuine answer from it (am calling it it because it maybe a female except I suspect few females would be so barefacedly juvenile)) Marlowe's charade can be described as quirky in the extreme & blatantly insensitive (the flood of in-yer-face postings). It has f***** up this forum as regards any meaningful discussion about these W-o-T events - his (phantom) way of interacting is bluntly of trolling & is inflamatory. I for one would like to see Marlowe (or whoever/whatever it is) create its own news forum & post all the f'ing crap it likes there but it should at least include in the title that the posts are from a phantom id who hasn't got the mental alertness to fess up when cornered about reality - but intends carrying on its disruptive charade. #2 Again put Simply. Marlowe (aka ???) has hijacked this forum, uses it to play its games at our expense, disrupts the normal flow of person-to-person debate which here is on important issues such as the deadly serious matter of war on terror. #3 refine content Marlowe (aka ???) put-up or shut-up Doug Marker Edited by dmarker Dec. 23, 2002, 11:52:06 PM EST Edited by dmarker Dec. 24, 2002, 05:53:22 AM EST Expand All History

Now, if I was a consipracy theorist, I might be tempted to think that the act of sheer desperation by the Repubs to get Bush in (by hook & crook etc:) might have been to protect the big business house of cards from a complete catestrophic crash. Bush & co may one day be able to say they allowed some parts of the house to fall down gently.

If you really think I'm behind all this skullduggery, doesn't that imply you beleieve I'm smart enough to mess with your packets enroute? And that you, a self-proclaimed security expert, couldn't forestall me? And doesn't that imply that I'm smarter than you? So you've foreclosed the option of calling me stupid. No, wait. That only implies if you follow logic. And you don't. So I guess you could call me a poached egg if you want to. And actually mean it.

It is ugly. Own it under your own name instead of hiding behind a charade. So if you want to continue to spam this forum for fuck's sake use your own name - this childish Marlowe charade might have been funny for a while but your osbsessive posting over so many months under your silly alias here turns it into a behavioural disorder.
