are you serious? did you read any of the indictment? His big defense is that he "didn't know"?
Ok, I'm not going to get into this conversation, because if I get militant about one thing, it's animal rights and I expect some 'nectors would want to argue about it.
yes, please, just PLEASE ignore the troll. He is only trying to get a reaction. Do NOT give it to him. Don't feed the troll.
anyways, yes tumbles, that would be great. What would be even better is that if you got a warning for every twenty posters who'd chosen to ignore you or something, so that the trolls would learn not to waste their time.
I think the ignore button would make the threads seem funny. I mean, you would still see peoples responses to said ignored troll, and it would get confusing.
..t... my parents instilled a similar intellectual set of mores that valued reading over organized team sports. growing up in boston meant escaping from high school sport phenomina. all that mattered were the celtics (larry bird was playing at the time), bruins (bobby orr) or the red socks, but forget the patriots (they didn't stand a chance).
... there seem to be at least three or four trolls right now, which is really weird because usually we don't have any, and another two or three people that have previously acted pretty normal but are now losing their cool and yelling back at them ... kinda scary.
I agree 765, I was wondering if it had anything to do with mid summer blues and anxious potential grad students using archinect and our general loathing for the endless grad school threads, as a pot shot
Nonetheless its apparently scared away some of our loyalists and for that i'm saddened
it has a belly button but no gentials - weird thing for children to be playing with. And worse that they are collected by adults. What is wrong with the world, damnit!
I have been successfully either missing or ignoring the trolls all together, although I will say that my favorite post of the day was where liberty bell totally called Pimp an asshole and told him to f*ck off, then said "oops did I hit submit"? I love Ms. Elle Bell....if she gets pissed you know something's wrong...
...and you guys have yet to see me lose my cool. Losing my cool was last night when I came home after an excrutiatingly tedious day, to YET ANOTHER debt collection call for a supposed relative of my boyfriend, and after a pointless debate about whether the company did or did not have on record WHERE the heck they got my number from, rung off after screaming at the bloodsucking woman on the other end of the line that she was a "furrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrcking LIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!!!!!!!!!"
So the things I've said to the likes of per/vindpust, pimp, and hocus, are not even touching the tip of losing my cool.
I like rationalist even more now. We should really have a poll about the emergence of the trolls (troll poll) as to why we are a being enundated with so many
That would have to be scary, particularly considering the history there.
techno, I can't believe that makes you like me more! I hate that shit like that gets to me so much, and my boyfriend is always really embarassed when he's around for it.
naw I like my friends firey...its not like you weren't provoked. Its great when you can tag someone and say, you get this one and go rip the person a new one.
So I am catching up on TC and have to make a confession about sports.
First, I dislike watching sports. I have tried to sit through a endless basketball or football games with my friends but it just not me. Occasionally, I'll sit with my dad during a soccer game but I do it more for him than my own self interest. I have no strong affiliation with any game, team, player, etc. and barely know rules for most sports.
BUT...
I get really emotional (read: cry) when a big game ends. I know that sounds so weird (it is) but I get all teary eyed and emotional when one team wins a big game and all the players are dancing, hugging, and loving every second of their life. At that moment when the buzzard rings, they are on top of the world. I love it.
I was sitting in a bar with a mechanical contractor and he was explaining why they have steam tunnels in the middle of the
summer in NYC....with that kind of pressure. To put it short and
sweet it is because that is how they create air conditioning.
Absorbtion and ammonia and gasses passing to liquids and back and forth....anyhow. Were sitting there and the next thing we see is the Mayor of NYC....Bloomer...saying close your windows and turn on your air conditoners....like everyone has window units....The mechanical contractor says, "poor folk will be cooking tonight and tomorrow who were being served by the steam lines."
My new office is only about 15 blocks away from the scene of the explosion, but I doubt our building is directly impacted. I was way uptown at Columbia at the time it happened, so I didn't know anything about it until I got home and checked the news.
Tomorrow morning's commute could be interesting. My line isn't directly impacted, but they're running some east line trains down my (west side) line, and with the whole Upper East Side pretty much lacking subway service right now, my line may catch some of the overflow. I'll be sure to use extra deodorant.
HA HA AHA HA! You morons wish that I was a troll. The truth is that I'm a lurker in the Postopolis sense of the word...and I've been watching you for a long time now. You share a lot of personal information here...too much really and you know nothing about me. I could have a great deal of very devious fun at your expense. Forgive me if you must...but it is such great pleasure to watch your whiny selfs squirm.
Ms. Liberty Bell called me an "asshole" and that is so out of character for her. Who would have thought that she'd be so easy to manipulate via a keyboard?
Mr. Larslarson, what was your father so dumb that they had to name him twice?
And you are welcome, Mr. Ward.
Besides, I think I've made my point. Please everybody, feel free to go about your business of whining about your weight, your bitchy co-workers, and your inability to pay your bills and still be able to afford a vacation. I'm sure it makes you all feel better especially knowing that this pervert will no longer be watching. Adios!!!
exactly, just like your father named you hocus pocus...
my father was so dumb that they had to name him twice...
that's a good one. does that even make sense in your
little universe?
and after you graduate high school and move out of your
parents house you'll eventually have to start worrying about
money and bills and everything else.
hocus, if you think you made a point, I missed it.
Truth be told, I don't feel the need to call you any names because I think you're rather sad. Threatening people regarding their personal information, on a public forum, is not only a cry for psychiatric help, it's illegal. It's called stalking.
Speaking of thinking before you post, you may want to remember that IP addresses are traceable, and as such, blockable.
I'm going to back to the business of talking about whatever I want to now.
myriam- we both get embarassed because my level of anger really does get disproportionate to the reason for it. Sometimes something just strikes me just so and really sets me off. I try constantly to not let it happen, but there are many, many slips off the wagon.
aha..i figured as much..but didn't know there was evidence of his
demise...thankfully we didn't need a poll for that one.
couldn't quite figure out why my dad would be dumb even if he
actually had named me lars...which is what i think he was trying
to imply..especially since my dad would only be supplying the
first name...maybe if my real name was larslarslarson...then
it'd make a bit more sense.
what is going on around here? who are these people? It's getting really annoying. It's not clever and it's not amusing.
The beauty of this site is that we can talk about all things architecture, including the lives of those involved. Conversations sway from buildings to artists to computers to grad schools to whats for dinner...it all seems to be fair game because our ultimate connection is our passion for design.
Having said that, this is ridiculous. I have a feeling these "trolls" are regulars, passive aggressively trying to get across a point they don't have the balls to say as their normal screen name. Well, GROW A PAIR, say what you have to stay and stop the childish antics. Are we 12? Why do you feel the need to pick on people?
lol, rationalist, it seems like most conversations on here turn into a dick measurement contest.
that's not a dick measuring contest at all...it's just the flexing of some internet muscles. no big deal...everyone's gotta' defend their stylistic choices...and no one likes to be called trendy.
Thread Central
are you serious? did you read any of the indictment? His big defense is that he "didn't know"?
Ok, I'm not going to get into this conversation, because if I get militant about one thing, it's animal rights and I expect some 'nectors would want to argue about it.
Thats ok, Longhorns are Texan, so you can still hate American football. Oh wait, did you mean the game as opposed to soccer.
sorry...that last one was to architechnophilia....I got distracted
yes, please, just PLEASE ignore the troll. He is only trying to get a reaction. Do NOT give it to him. Don't feed the troll.

tumbles - typical mL™, there wasn't much to follow anyways. ;-)
tumbles sometimes I think that they've turned the ignore button me - sigh
tumbleweed...
the liver reference was 'what am i chopped liver' i believe.
since mL is a huge new york yanks fan...and refers to that team
as we...
that makes sense, Sarah. I've never actually been on a forum that has an 'ignore' button before, so have never experienced such.
I havent either, but thats what I figure it would look like.
there are quite a few boards that have the ignore button...you can
unclick ignore...and see any posts you may have 'missed'.
it makes it easier to read places that are crawling with trolls and
flame wars...odd how you get used to that not happening.
..t... my parents instilled a similar intellectual set of mores that valued reading over organized team sports. growing up in boston meant escaping from high school sport phenomina. all that mattered were the celtics (larry bird was playing at the time), bruins (bobby orr) or the red socks, but forget the patriots (they didn't stand a chance).
oh how the mighty (no tm reference) have fallen

those things freak me out

i think it's one of those ones that only works in the first post of the thread...
Earlier this evening, the geyser of steam was as tall as the Chrysler Building.
That would have to be scary, particularly considering the history there.
techno, I can't believe that makes you like me more! I hate that shit like that gets to me so much, and my boyfriend is always really embarassed when he's around for it.

I have a LiG'esque question just for nyc
what where nyc subway tiles called before the subway??

Now let's never talk about this again.

who on earth would be embarrassed by someone standing up for themselves?!
that's kind of weird, rationalist. do you do a silly dance while you yell at the scammer? or wear a silly hat?
vado - you dyed your hair purple? :) cute belly button.

Think before you post.
yawn...your act was old after your first post.
i don't have to be manipulated at all to call you an asshole, hp. i'll do so willingly and freely. thanks for playing. buh-bye.
Mr. Larslarson, what was your father so dumb that they had to name him twice?

who's dead?
aha..i figured as much..but didn't know there was evidence of his

hocussssssssssssssss.....i am coming for you!
REPENT NOW sinner.
are you the new evangelical bunny?
obviously.
BTW, has anyone else noticed the dick-measurement contest between JohnProlly and Appleseed in the 'bicycles' thread? It's getting kind of funny.

"dick-measurement contest"
I burst out laughing when I read this...like, loud. And it's quiet in here today!
Except it just started storming. I love thunderstorms. LA doesn't really have those, does it?
Sweet. Lightning too?
I'm in a picture posting mood, somebody please email me or something if one of them comes up porn.....thanks.
oh, now cf's pulled his out, too...
that's not a dick measuring contest at all...it's just the flexing of some internet muscles. no big deal...everyone's gotta' defend their stylistic choices...and no one likes to be called trendy.
certainly not me.
but while we're on it...
new kicks:
very trendy, ML
