I think there's been some degeneration of threads. When I joined, there were some generally agreed on accepted themes for threads, they included a name which implied the content, and a practice of non duplication of thread topics in concurrent running threads.

Of course, they also we frequently threadjacked off topic and there were flamewars.

The first thing that happened to me when I signed on the board was that I came in, and posted a thread, I don't even remember what it was on, but almost everyone instantly called me a sock puppet, I'm not sure of whom. The next thing that happened was that John, who had been absent for a while, spammed my thread with a large number of posts about Jews. I was some surprised. Then my thread was spontaneously deleted, I assume by admin, which I later learned was also Haken, I think it was because of the trolling, which probably means that it was bumped to troll country, a thought which I first had about thirty seconds ago.

Well, DT, since I've been here (which isn't that long admittedly), I've seen no degeneration. What you describes is what I see...and I hear references to it being that bad (or worse?) during the Dumbya administration. So the degeneration you speak of must have happened a long, long time ago--given Dumbya was Prez in 2002 when Firefly came out, are you sure it's degenerated?

Funny, I was never called a sockpuppet when I arrived. Maybe because my arrival brought along a few from the other site I was on to attack me, I dunno. NOW, I'm kinda surprised nobody's accused me of being Mike's sockpuppet, since our views are often similar and we are the only two (that I've seen) who use coding in our posts.

I'm sorry you were accused of being one; I wish there were ways nobody could be a sockpuppet. As I said before, I never ran into that until I came here, no other site allowed you to have two personna on one e-mail addy...which could be gotten around, of course, but it was difficult enough to keep most people from doing it. Wish Haken would incorporate that, I hate sockpuppets!

As well as the inability to change thread titles. Never ran into THAT before here, either. Closest I saw was asite where onecould title one's responses if one wanted to, but they appeared underneath the original post. Sigh...

Oh, and once again, I changed your thread titles I think twice...I know you get your kicks going after me, but eventually you might like to go after some who do it regularly. Just a thought.

Freedom is Important because People are Important


Hello,

When I first joined, there was no thread-title changing. I don't know if it's because people were more polite, or whether no one had figured it out yet.

If I had my druthers, there would be a 'switch' I could set on my profile to disable pictures and imbedded media. (Maybe there is? If there is, someone tell me!)

Many times, I have to abandon a thread because PirateNews has posted a visual that is too offensive for my environment. I really don't like what he says, though I wouldn't silence him. But sometimes those pictures mean I avoid a thread so that I don't offend passers-by who might see the image.

I don't want his picture-posting to be disabled. I just want an option to shut it off myself. In fact, I might like the option to cause all of Pirate's posts to be 'ignored.' Then he can rant madly to an audience of None as I tune in to the things that interest me.

I don't really have a problem with sock puppets. I favor the anonymity of the web. If you want to win any respect you have to earn respect from the other members, something which a sock puppet cannot do, but it potentially gives a user a chance to reset. I think the way sock puppets are used is sometimes disingenuous.

I am sorry but I appear to be responsible for thread title changing, I do it often, but not as often as mike. It started with someone else figuring it out, I don't remember whom. Afterwards, they put a lid it, and then I figured it our and told everyone.

I also think i made you blue, which makes you look different, and I really did make everyone change their avatars.

The specific change of ambiguous multiple threads has been quite recent, and it makes it difficult of me to follow. The ipad can't handle very long threads, so I give up on them. The shorter redundant thread are useful to me there.


Anthony makes a good point about pirate news, it's not safe for work.

Anthony, I just noticed was in your signature, I thought it was you can't lose a quark you don't girth, but you could very well be right, I have no idea what I was trying to say, do you remember which thread it was?


ETA : who zit, you were called a sock puppet right off. Share some positive content, don't just troll

I've been accused of being Signy's sockpuppet, and Rue's as well, and they've been accused of being each other's (but never mine, which strikes me as odd, if I were accused of being theirs... but they were both here before me, so I guess they couldn't be my sockpuppets, unless I were them, and they were me, and I created me long after I created them...).

PN seems to be the title-change champion. And Wulfie's been on a tear lately. Rappy goes in spurts, usually when he's really amped up about something. (Uh-oh. Commence countdown... 5... 4... 3... )

When quirking a girth, one doesn't feel like digging it up

It was a conversation whe I was trying to say you can't lose a fight you don't start, I was of course trying to be clever, and I had so very recently gotten the iPad.

Speaking of, china seems to be funding terrorists in India, and also NK attacked SK in a way that would have started a war in the past, I think people should admit the restraint, however temporary.


Mike, your a gun toting dem, i'm not sure there's another. What you don't realize is that your really a libertarian, and don't have anything in common with democrats, outside of your disgust at republicans, something which you actually share with republicans. Of course, if this doesn't make sense to you, that's because you've forgotten about anti gay crusaders who keep rent boys as bellhops and then not even let them pick up the luggage.

I'm still note sure if Kathy is one or two users.

I use a variant open source on my heavy PC, but on the lighter jobbie, Mozilla Firefox with Ad Block Plus and Flashblock works wonders, guy.

The scripts/movies, blocked unless YOU wanna load em, which you can do by clickin the replacement icon - and any offensive image, just right click, and block, and you can block that specific image, whole domain, etc.

Works wonders for your speed to, when the sixteen freaking scripts from doubleclick and all the other information vaccums and trackers get blocked out and don't soak up your bandwidth needlessly - it's MY bandwidth, *I* choose what loads.

Use Firefox with the ad-blocker plugin. You can right click on any picture or video to block it, as widely or as specifically as you want. I've been using it since someone gave me the same tip about a year ago, and the overall stress of my browsing has gone down considerably. Nothing flashy, distracting, or offensive to my eyes can ever stay on a page again if I don't want it to.

I wish Firefox was the browser on all the computers that I use. How refreshing that would be!

Maybe IE will institute a similar plug-in?

River, you should get the script blocker too!
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722/

(FWHOOOP, FHWOOOP, RANT WARNING, RANT WARNING, SET STATUS TO DUCK AND COVER!)

While the flashy spinny shit is by itself, hellfire annoying, there's also the double whammy of clickjackin, driveby downloads, malware, and that really annoying lets-refresh-the-page-every-five-seconds-to-up-our-hit-count crapola that chews up bandwidth like crazy and drags your machine to a crawl.

And of course, the obvious one of BLOCKING THOSE HELL SPAWNED FLASH ADS, the "overlay" ones that jump out and THROW themselves over the content, the ones that take over your speakers and SCREAM at you, *all* of em.

Takes a little more work and configuration than ABP, since you have to figure out which script is doing what, but eventually you'll have a list of "usual suspects" you can block wholesale.
(And provoke a life-long hatred of the corporations in question, and any site or product ever affiliated with them in any way.)

I am having a little trouble figuring out how to kill off those spam-my-site-to-raise-hit-count-and-make-me-money sidebars, but I'll find a way.

The site operators can whine and whinge, but they know *damned* well the slime they're gettin in bed with and the cozy relationship between "advertisers" and malware - and despite flinging the ads at you, which I picture smacking into your screen like a gooey glob of something between an insect and a virus, desperately clawing at your machine, trying to devote *your* resources, *your* hardware and bandwidth, to THEIR purposes without your permission, for the express desire to ram advertising (and most of it for fucking scams) down your throat on a pike...

But no, the site operator, despite holding the door open for such sleazy, slimy "guests", then refuses to take any friggin responsibility for their conduct ?

Oh hell no - they can whine and whinge about the blocking all they like, crying poverty and howling like a little baby cause they didn't get *paid* for their (damn near exclusively plagarized/copied) so-called "content", but in all honesty their greed, their lack of any moral standard whatsoever, and the same lack amongst the "advertisers" being the prevailent attitude of the day...

THEY BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES.

Technology's Sword has TWO edges, and for every attempt to pry into your personal hardware and bandwith that YOU paid for, and use it for free for their OWN purposes (and think about THAT when these thieving scum scream about copyright and their intellectual property "rights" while they try to carjack your hardware) there WILL be a counter, because people find a way.

That said, three cheers for Haken, who's an exemplar of everything a site operator *should* be, and should I ever find myself within reach of him, for that alone he'd be gettin a rather nice bottle of single-malt, cause he friggin earned it, you ask me.

But anyhow, yes, I adore my ad-block/script-block, rather passionately so because it gives me the ability to fight back against criminals who try to carjack MY hardware and bandwidth, and I countenence their pathetic cries with the exact amount of patience I would for a would-be burglar complaining that my locks and alarms deprive him of his means to make a living...

None whatever, boo freakin hoo.

-Frem

PS. Did I mention I am kinda passionate about this subject ?

I probably DO lean towards libertarianism, but if so, I lean that way from the left. Problem is, I in no way want to be associated with the horrorshow that has become the modern movement, absconded with by the likes of antimason and Wulfie here. They are to libertarians what folks like Rappy and Bush were to conservatism a couple years ago; their beliefs and utterances are so abysmally absurd that they become their movements' own worst enemies, and send people running, in droves, to get far, FAR away from them in an effort to be disassociated from such positions.

*snort* Not bloody likely. IE, like most Microsoft products, has the insulation of coming with nearly every machine sold in this country, and as such they are so far behind the curve that it makes most people sick when they use any other browser.
Unfortunately there are a lot of hulking corporations and sheep-like consumers who don't know there is anything else. IE6 is the absolute bane of web developers. It's buggy, it's noncompliant with current coding (and even the coding of its time) and it's still used by at least 20% of machines, because people are used to it or are lazy and haven't updated, and it came with the computer.
Ugh, sorry, I just spent a few years studying web development. Didn't mean to rant.
But here's another fact: 90% + of viruses are written to target Windows machines running IE. Awesome. Firefox not only has better security features, it's not targeted as heavily, if at all. So yes, every computer you use should be running Firefox. If the problem is a work computer, I suggest you just download it anyway, and tell your boss you are trying to protect the place from viral attacks.
Thanks for the Flashblock info, Frem! I just went and got it, and it's already handy! NoScript, though, I found myself having to turn off a lot when I took my machine to school and tried to log on to their wireless. It wouldn't let the page load, ever, since it was a redirect when I opened my browser. I finally just left it off, might try enabling it again now that I'm out of school. But if you have any tips on getting the most out of it without half my favorite sites getting blocked off, I'd be happy to hear.

RiverDancer: Thanx, I’d like the same thing as Anthony wished for, but it still would mean I’d have to CLICK on the photo, which means I’d have to see it, and take the time to click on it. As it is, I just scroll past as fast as I can, which means I miss any text message, but that’s just fine with me!

Ahh, I see I’m back to being an operative. I thought I was a closet Muslim. Hey, can I be a closet Muslim AND an operative? I still wonder about his use of Nikovich, but I’m guessing now that I posted my e-mail addy a long time ago or something and he picked up on it. Certainly I have now... and yes, my “legal” name, if anyone cares, is Sandra Christine Nikovich B_____. I “took” Nikovich on in my late teens, for reasons I’ve explained individually to people in e-mail but don’t want to explain publicly because it includes my last name. Whether PN knew me from another forum or I posted my e-mail addy early on, it no longer matters. I've become almost flattered by his singling out of me by now ... almost ... but it's easy to ignore and unless someone mentions it in response to his post, I don't even see it. Sorry, PN.

Well noscript is mostly for us paranoids who dig into places that might be unsafe - you can get by on ABP and Flashblock just fine doll, NoScript is a bit more technical and a pain in the ass to configure, best reserved when you might be suspicious of a site to begin with.

Oh my - Yikes, Frem! I typed that on the fly, just rattled it off, and didn't even think of that! And I'm normally so careful about the words I use...


Oh, and Niki? What Frem said. I noticed when replying to your posts with quotes that there would be "nikovich" in some of the coding on .gif files and such. It just never occurred to me to worry about it or point it out. Maybe because I don't automatically assume that everyone in the world with a Russian-sounding name is an "operative" or a Commie spy. But that's just me... ;)

If what you say is true then how have you survived?

Unless your the mole...

With regards to this thread, I think we would all be better off if PN was either banned or eliminated by his police state death squad.

I've had good fights with just about everyone, lots of liberal/conservative/crazytalker back and forth on every side all for fun and sometimes we learn something.

PN is the only person here who contributes nothing to the discussion and who hurts everyone with his paranoid rambling and incoherant anti-Jew and racist postings.

I would be forced to mention agreeing with Hero, only it would probably end up in his signature, and his quote from me as it is, is totally misspoken. I said I found your remarks "amazing" because they so disgusted me and were so unconscionable; that you'd put them up as if they were a compliment is both sickening and typical. It speaks volumes about his poor self-image, if nothing else!

As to PN, however, everyone know how I feel, and it's pretty much the same. I find him nothing but irritating; I know some say he contributes, but for me, how can he contribute if I'm so turned off by how he words things that I no longer even read his posts?

Thanx for clearing that up, guys, that makes all the sense in the world. I virtually never "reply with quotes", I usually pick out the relevant passages to reply to, so I've never noticed that my emoticons show the photobucket code. I HAVE hit "reply" at times to see who changed a title, but beyond that, I cut and paste. Thanx for answering my curiosity; now I can stop even occasionally wondering!

The name "Nikovich" was taken from Illya Nikovich Kuryakin, the "second banana" on the old "Man from U.N.C.L.E." series--as a teenager, I had a huge crush. Seeing him as someone as old as I am on NCIS was a shock, but I'm glad he's making steady paychecks. When I took it, I didn't know it meant "son of Nick", hee, hee, hee!

But doesn't garbage have the right to be garbage?

PN has his followers here, some of whom share many of his core beliefs. Wulfie is one; Kaneman another. They love his stuff.

Nope, no bans, no censorship. If PN's stuff bugs me, I can either skip right past it, or mock him incessantly about it. The one thing guaranteed to send him off the deep end is to turn his paranoia back on him, and suggest that he's a Jew or a homosexual (both of which are, of course, true of him; he IS a Jewish homosexual, as well as a paid government operative - witness his self-admitted military record!).

Sick, "Hero". You're no hero, and your need for self-congratulation is pittiable. Put THAT in your sig, if you dare, which of course you don't.

Ironically, what you had before made me think you had said something down the line that made Chris say those things...and since I respect Chris, it gave me a modicum of hope that I might someday respect you. Now that I know you fake those accolades, I know better.

I could not have said it better myself.

Edited to add: Next time try to work the words "I", "love", and "Hero" into you response so we can all move on.

But you only have to do that once, and then you never have to see it again. It's a trade-off, depending on how often the same image gets used. And if the same domain is used a lot, the whole thing can be blocked, so that's good, too.

I'll have to look at more of the ad-ons firefox has. Sounds like there's even more good stuff out there to make my life easier.

Yes niki, you're Taliban. You can't be anything-ovich though, you have to be -ovna or -ova Nikita Nicovna Talibani. You are a triple agent, you clearly work for al Qaeda, the Mossad, and Obama Sotero Hussein of the Mao Mao rebels. Your mission here is to uncover the true identity of firefly posters, and their secret agendas, or is it agendae. Although, at times, when tracking down the wild whozit, you feel a bit like you have been sent on a false lead by Maxwell Smart.

I have noscript running all the time, even on "safe" websites. The last malware I got, unless it had some kind of delayed timer as it unpacked, the only website I was on was right here. So I'm not taking any chances anymore.

Dancer...well, when I come back to a thread, I go to the bottom and scroll up to my own last post, then read from there. So it ends up that I only have to scroll past PN's "donations" once every time...besides, I'm lazy!

Ahhh, DT, thank you. Now I know my mission (if I can keep it straight). But I don't think I'd make a good triple agent, I'd get too confused and give myself away.

Okay, anyone wanna 'fess up right now and stop wasting our time? I've got a few tickets to Baghram, guarantee an easy flight, and we promise not to waterboard you...well, no more than a few times anyway.
