Life is hell, blah de dah. Please don't change your email address -- it
makes it hard to keep you plonked.

Gunner, Tim: A reminder - Plonking is just like Fight Club. The
first rule of plonking is You Do Not Talk About Plonking.

If you just ignore them, they don't know any better. They just
think nobody had anything to say in response.

If you stand there with your fingers in your ears singing "La La La
Laaaa We Can't Hear You....." so they know what they are saying is
getting to you, they will just get closer and scream louder.

They crave negative feedback just as much as (if not more than)
positive feedback.

The persistent and halfway smart ones will figure out nym-shifting
on their own, and then you have to filter a hundred names instead of
one. Don't tell the others that they need to start and how to do it.

I figure this one isnt halfway smart based on the history of him and his
machine..nor by his inability to suck it up and deal with the fact he
bought a piece of ****..and then ignore repeated requests to knock it
the **** off with his whining and whatnot.

So I set an example for my fellows.

that Roosevelt would be remembered as a great president, "maybe even
alongside Washington and Lincoln," opining that Roosevelt "had every
quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
