Except the comments have pretty much already established that the summary title was a load of shit. Thus, your alternative interpretation of a load of shit becomes, I suppose, a pile of turd.

It was never aimed at stopping photography. It was aimed at idiots breaking things.

Are you saying that their supervisor isn't going to notice them giving an interview in front of a journalist and camera crew in the middle of the clean-up site, but will notice if they duck off away from the work zone for a minute? I suspect BP might also notice if they're on national TV from the clean-up site giving an interview, so it won't matter if Anderson Cooper interviews them inside or outside the exclusion zone if they're worried about losing pay over it.

I think his point was that if the original (US-government-sourced) announcement used metres, why convert it to US units for an international audience?

FTFY.

Yes, well spotted. That's what I was implying.

That's odd, none of the official documents say anything about photographers. The poster even fits in a quote mentioning photographers explicitly, and words it so that if you're not paying attention it implies that it's an official quote. This is sensationalist journalism at its best. Why are photographers trying to get that close anyway? With my consumer-grade camera I can take a close-up portrait of someone from rather further away than that.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Hopefully his books are better than his website. I'll check 'em out.

Niling d-sink. BAM. Next, the Commonwealth is invaded by a malicious alien.

The correct spelling is right up there in the page title. Or is there a joke I'm missing?

Bringing Twilight up at all pretty much counts around here.

I personally think you were right to lash out. The GP was spouting hateful anti-male crap which will influence the young developing minds s/he's teaching to think that men can never be good and civil, and all girls are angels who only fall if men cause them to.

It's telling the boys that they can't escape the baseness of their gender, and it's telling girls to never trust a boy (but always blame them!) It's a skewed view of life, it's fucking up children, and it's exactly what the catholic church did to me (I'm not bitter at all).

Sure, biology plays a part, and men tend to be more casual about sex and girls more picky (some will disagree). But ... what the GP said is just a completely fucked up view of it all.

I hate you both.

Some users have reported success in running Wife 1.0 and various versions of Girlfriend in parallel by using polyamory.org. While many people have reported that this results in serious system instability, its proponents always claim that this is due to incorrect installation or use, and that the platform is fundamentally sound.
