Yes. I'm a mod.

[Dionysian Beast]

Got it. Your email addy is heeeeeelarious. Don't worry, I won't share. But I laughed.

Wait, what? Hilarious?! Wtf??!

 

[Sinny]

Oooh. Banana leaves.

I'm getting Harissa and pink peppercorns in the mail this week. Then I have to figure out how to use it. I'm thinking chocolate pink peppercorn cupcakes and...something with Harissa. Not together though. Ew.

I might even try cheesemaking. Mmm. Rennet.

I wasn't able to find fresh leaves. Bummer. I want fresh Kaffir also. I'm sure I could get banana leaves here though. Though I won't wrap the cupcakes in them.

I'm lucky to live in a region rich with fresh ingredients like kaffir. The Pacific Northwest has a large immigrant population from Japan, SE Asian. We get things here ... like fresh lychee and kaffir... sometimes even rambutan (but very rare, and probably illegally imported).

I make my own fresh mozz. I use the Ricky Carrol cheese bible. It's easy. I use a seaweed based enzyme that is a coagulation agent similar to rennet, but without the acidity that rennet seems to impart. I'm not a fan. but I like standing over a stove and stirring cheese curds. It's cathartic.

Hey, Penzeys? That sounds like a Penzeys order. Ha. Ok, here's a thought. How about crushing the pink peppercorns and putting them atop caramels. You could use Red Alaea sea salt on companion caramels. I've done something really similar with Black Lava salts and crushed Indian long peppercorn. They were tasty.

Oh cool, I wanted to try mozzerrella. I see mail order in my future.

Large population of Cubans here. Cuban rolls were last week. Pernil and Cuban sandwiches are a gift this region keeps on giving.

I make fleur de sel caramels that are awesome. I haven't branched out much on salts, I'm not sure my palate can make out the difference so well. I'll have to try. The Himalayan pink stuff is so pretty. I'm such a girl.

 

[Sinny]

Holy crap! I misread the first word as "best." Go and read that and tell me if that is not funny. I was thinking back alley George Michael gay (I stole that from someone else). That is in, no way, a statement on your manliness.

Damn. I am jealous of your Cuban population. I have to practically kill someone to get an authentic Cuban sandwich with just the right ratio of ham to pickle.

And I buy pink sanding sugar to put on my salted caramels. And I use it on cupcakes, too. I live in a house of boys. It's all I've got.

Let's do a cheesemaking thread. It's ridiculously easy to make mozz if you can find someone who sells non homogenized milk. The problem with homogenized milk is that the milk proteins have been degraded by the homogenization process, and the coagulation is really droopy once you add the rennet or coagulation agent. So if you can find someone, from a farm maybe, that will sell you cream or whole milk that has not gone under the pressure gun, that's ideal. Mmmmmm. Cheese. Lamb and cheese. I'm super hungry. I should eat something.

Thread made. I will also end hijacking here. (hah, sure I will.)

I have no self control.

 

[philosophygirl]

Mmmm. I'm gonna make fresh pasta with lamb, thyme and mozzerella.

My cats are sleeping. Probably eating yummies in their dreams. And peeing on prize bits of furniture.

Oh that sounds good!

He's old and crazy and picky about what he eats...so he gets what he wants.

If I were a mod, I'd make everyone a mod, then everyone would ban everyone. It'd be a wicked sort of fun. But I'd make everyone have a Strawberry Shortcake gif Av.

Oh yeah! Or smurfs!

I'm harvesting zucchini and tomatoes today and probably slicing them with a mandolin very thin and then piling them on a very thin pizza dough I made last night and has been sitting on the counter getting all yeasty. I need to make it soon or it will expire. It's on a third rise.

Oh noz, do we get banned for food hijacks?

Yummy, give me some.

Yes but only if we are force feeding other posters Vienna sausages...yuk!

The paradox of freedom: it flourishes under the firm hand of an enlightened philosopher king.

You know, Perg once told me that this is a great forum because it is so... uncontrolled. Ah, the power of freedom, and all of that. If RoryN isn't the biggest sack of shit liar in this and a few other universes right now with this rant, this completely demolishes such claims.

Worse yet, Cade is far from the reason this forum is descending to the level of 4chan. A bigger reason behind this forum losing its mojo is that 99% of the posters are raging nutcases that the rest of the intarwebs has banned from their venues, or would if they acted there like they do here. The General Board is for people who cannot handle normal society. There are normal people here but we're rapidly shrinking in numbers; as in they're slowly dropping off and not posting anymore.

Another bigger reason lies in the total whimsical nature of this 'war against alts'. You can tell how whimsical it is by telling which glaringly obvious troll alts are allowed to stay, and which ones get banned. Everyone knows how whimsical it is; and that kind of environment never prospers. RoryN has only helped to keep this place looking like Mogadishu.

And the second worst part? Even Laurel & Manu themselves lack the power to stop someone like Cade if he really and truly wants to rock and roll. Web proxies and anonymous email addresses will annihilate all defenses short of requiring a credit card to sign up.

The very worst part of this is that if RoryN isn't piling on enough bullshit to turn the Sahara into a fucking rain forest here (see his quote: "I do not have to adhere to the concept of free speech"), this means that some SEVERE damage has been done to the "free speech" part of the "Free Speech, No Spam!" brand.

You cannot logically have "I do not have to adhere to the concept of free speech" and "Free Speech, No Spam!" in the same universe. No matter how much you spin it and say "free speech isn't exactly free speech..." especially when your definition of "spam"

(read this part slowly, folks)

is as downright arbitrary and loosely defined and interpreted as it is here.


This shit absolutely invites hacker rampages. Especially considering that the General Board has a reputation of invading and bullying other Lit forums and even forcing out mods to replace them with GBers. I would not be surprised if groups of GBers haven't tried to invade other non-Lit forums... although such a move would get smacked down with such staggering brutality that no one would come back and brag.

Pretty much. I've seen an enraged mouse do a better job of scaring the USS Nimitz than RoryN has intimidated anyone with his "I'm watching you" speech.

If I had more free time I'd call his bluff and have fun collecting his excuses for why he can't back that bluster up. That certainly does NOT mean I won't come back and show him just how pretty his mouth really is, and that he's no Jet Li.*

[Karen Kraft]

I've decided to finally address years of accusations made by member Cade Is Here and the numerous names he's posted under regarding whether or not I'm a mod at Literotica, and have been "censoring" his posts and the posts of other members who, in my opinion, submit unsavory hate speech on a spam-like level to the GB.

Yes, I am a mod, and have been since 2007.

I consider myself fair and non-tyrannical, though there have been times I've been asked to "check" myself in certain scenarios. Nevertheless, I'm allowed to keep my modship due to the positive nature of my overall efforts here. As many have seen, I'm far more likely to respond to hateful, racist spam with commentary of my own than I am to delete such posts.

That being said, CIH, this forum never has been and never will be a democracy. I do not have to adhere to the concept of free speech; my job is to keep traffic coming to this site by ensuring that it, more or less, resembles a place which intelligent & creative people would like to visit without some wannabe white-skinhead shit-for-brains spamming the place with outdated bile. In other words, as long as I've got my modship, your spam is absolutely not welcome here.

Therefore, after years of merely lukewarm support for throwing you out on your ass, I was given the green light to ban some of your more egregious alts. And I will be given that green light again in the future. It's not like I can't see your I.P. addresses; it's not as if I don't know your signature style when you create another alt. I know. And, as part of this new "open disclosure" of mine, if I see you posting more bile, I'll do something about it.

I've only been addressing one member to this point, but two other members guilty of serial alt creation have also been on my radar since I became a mod - one of them prolific to a ridiculous level, I might add (but the general GB audience probably already knew this). To him, I say: I'm watching you, too. All of you are welcome to enjoy the GB and post whatever opinions you like...until you start in with your hate spam and hate speech that goes above and beyond acceptable tolerances, or you attempt to practice deception and hateful propaganda via new alt names. Then the Ban Hammer® comes out.

Clear enough? Carry on.

- RoryN

I never knew you were a mod. I always thought of you as a rocker.

*points and laughs at LT the dumb fuck*

LT?

Didn't Rory ban him?

 

[Recidiva]

Well, he got banned. But apparently he got better.

Someone should turn him into a newt, but that might be redundant.

LT had a nasty fight with one of his alts, as far as I could see, and they both got dumped.

Alts, alts and rumors of alts.

Which alts were these? If RoryN is such a 'mod' he'll probably be able to tell you himself that you're full of shit. But then again he's not a mod, so oh well.

 

[Johnny_Ray_Wilson]

I'm totally confused but carry on.

For lunch, I'm making spinach chicken salad with fruit for lunch. My cat is eating fried chicken and cheese cover tatters.

I would like a cat bowl as well.

So Roryn finally admits to being a mod, using alts for traffic and doesn't believe in freedom of speech!

This explains the use of his racist alts!!

Well my work is done here.

I know lots of you have him on Ignore, and I don't think anyone has me on Ignore except him, so I thought I would quote this for entertainment purposes. And in case Guinness ever begins a "Least Self-Aware Web Posting" category.
