Florian, I was anything but wrong about you! Look at all of that self-justifying blather!

Anyway, I have better uses of my time than to waste another minute with you.

I'm really not interested in hearing from you any longer. It's very clear that we'll never agree on anything, and the fact is I don't consider you someone whose opinion I value or who is worthy of any of my time.

But wouldn't faggots be pro-hellenic, or are the stories I heard about 'doing it like Greeks' incorrect?

That should be "SCO and MS arguments".

We knew what was going on when you ran your anti-IBM campaign, sometimes even positioning yourself as arguing on behalf of our community. It was a way to lend credence to IBM and MS arguments during the SCO issue. To state otherwise is deceptive, perhaps even self-deceptive.

Florian, you would not be devoting all of this text to explaining yourself if you didn't feel the need to paint your actions in a positive light. That comes from guilt, whether you admit it to yourself or not.

Go write your app, and if you actually get to make any money with it you can give thanks, because it will happen despite what you worked for previously. Keep a low profile otherwise because your credibility is well and truly blown and you can only make things worse. And maybe someday you can really move past this part of your life. But I am not holding out much hope.

Oh, come on: I totally qualified that remark with uncertainty. You really have to go right to impinging my integrity? Sad.
"(of course I realize you still don't believe I never vote for him)" I take everyone at face value with regard to who they say they vote for, or not.

Who watches that noise? I take in HGTV and a little NBC News 4. For a total of 1-2 hours/week.

Oh! The light bulb! Of course! If only we could just incentivize that godforsaken light bulb!
If only the light bulb could defeat that majority rule bugbear!
Does the light bulb have to break itself and stab the majority rule bugbear in some critically vulnerable area, so that the bugbear bleeds to death? Or is the bugbear just light sensitive, and the proper wavelength from the light bulb will make it whither?

tl;dr: We're all doing what we can. How about something substantive, and a little less mumbo-jumbo?

Indeed. The uneven CSS implementation is a joke with no punchline.

Look, do you want to commit to reading/critiquing TCM in chunks? I'll cheerfully do that. We can go back/forth in JEs, if you like.

I can agree with you that the Progressive Vichy GOP, and their Democrat compadres, all need to go.
Unions, especially public sector unions, amount to an enabler for the new Progressive aristocracy.
What to do? Vote the bums out, say I.

Kind of a bummer, but, if you love your art, you take the suffering too.

I, in fact, do have mod points.

That's the way the gyoza goes,
When liberty itself is feared,
And self-defense, the fascist crows,
Is buried in laws as a face in a beard.

The only tangible suggestion I've ever gotten out of fustakrakich is total randomization of elected officials. I seem to recall asking if he was willing to accept President Sarah Palin. The memory is distant, but I think he rejected "random" randomization, if it meant That Awful Woman would take office.
In fustakrakich's world, you and I offer the same absolutist arguments, and HE'S the straight man.
When you pick at his ideas a little further, he oscillates between pseudo-Zen statements about how you just need to open your eyes, and a kind of watered down solipsism. I guess if fustakrakich were a little more clever, he'd be a script.

Moreso than entitlements?
