As I said to Texan, I don't see this as a team sport.

If I disagree with you today, you're not off my island with everything you say forever.

That would make me a fool.

In this thread, about IR's sig, KR makes some good points.

A solid argument deserves recognition regardless of who it comes from.

After all, one day I might even put forward a solid argument about something. If I do, it'll be cool to see some agreement with it.

She didn't stand her ground against "me" because I was never involved in any argument with her.

KidRock is a burger-flippin' hillbilly. He's got two years of history behind him and it's all bad. You should research that a little before you take him on the next Y-Indian guides campout to rub nutsacks in your sleeping bag with him.

Or maybe you don't care who you buddy up with. Makes no difference to me.

Lance, turn on msn damn you.

The beginnings of a fine romance.

I wouldn't put the champagne on ice any time soon if I were you.

 

[scylis]

having been around here for the whole original falling out involving KR, i can truthfully say this:

his mullet has more brains than he does.

you can quote me on that.

Lance,

You really need to pick your battles more wisely.

This one is beneath your wit and good judgement.

 

[Temptress_1960]

This prank needs to be discussed???

Holy shit, how much time has been wasted on this stupid bullshit already?

Enough. Move on.

 

[KID ROCK1]

I've seen one person in this thread who understands the point I was trying to make...If what Indigo did was sooooo terrible then why hasn't Laurel banned this person...I think all of you who got burned and bitched about it need to remember some classic advice...

"You better not be crying over this or i'll give you something to cry about"...

One other comment...

Lovely statement, Lance. I love being generally insulted, thanks.

Dear Siren,

I don't know your real name so I will just call you Siren.

I talked to Marxist on the phone last night, we talked about this link situation and with his help I have come to a few conclusions.

To start with, I want to make sure you realize, I most definately did not know that this prank would cause your computer any harm, and I did not know it would cause such a negative uproar either. I sent the same link to dozens of people that I know personally, none of them had a problem with the computer, the link is designed to cause a neccesary reboot at the very worst. Before I gave the link to any one else, I fell for it as well, and immediately after I did fall for it I took apart the file it leaves and looked for malicious code. When I discovered there was none I felt a lot better about it and thought it was humorous. That's when I decided it needed to be sent out. I even opened it a second time to check the code for any possibilities that it might cause harm in other ways by causing a dominoe effect on certain machines, honestly I did come to the conclusion that it wouldn't do so. After that check I posted it on Lit. There were a few reasons why I did, mainly I thought the link was harmless and humorous, secondly I figured it would go over much better since bob bytchin had the exact same file in his sig line for ages and got nothing but funny comments about it, the only thing different in his was there was no sound. Other than that, his sent the same file which also had no malicious code. Third, Lavender's sig line demonstration the other day annoyed the hell out of me, I thought it was childish and rude to pick on people who chose to put things in their sig line, so I took out my original sig line and added this link, sort of a way to say " Well you whined and bitched about the other sig line, so here is what you get for all that whining, enjoy". Also, admittedly it was kind of a big ol' fuck you to the people at the GB who PM me constantly under unregisered and call me names, to people like you who judged me on my social persona rather than my real life persona, people who called me names and wished hurtful things on me, and were generally rude, to me the link was humorous and at that point I thought completely harmless, so it was like a funny way of saying fuck you.

What the Heretic guy posted after reviewing the code does make some sense, while I don't have as many years experience with crashing computers on purpose as he does, nor do I know as many code lanuages as he does, I assure you I honestly looked through the coding twice and I did not think about the minute chance of something like what happened to you as he did. I am not sure if what he brought to my attention did in fact happen to you, I don't know what OS you are running, how old your computer is or what was already fucked up to begin with, but after reading and researching his posts, I now know that IF the factors were all right, what he said could very well happen, though the chance of it is still incredibly small. Stranger things have happened though.

You in particular have been quite judgmental and rude to me in the past, you have in fact hurt my feelings with your words and acusations, jumping to conclusions and posting holier than thow material at me. Other people have been just as rude but you really bothered me, admittedly. That is why I took such great joy in your computer being the only one to become screwy as a result of what I thought was a perfectly harmless link. I had even told a few people that the irony of you being the one person I couldn't stand the most on the GB and your computer being some how the only one so drastically affected was rather joyful at the time.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you did a good job in annoying me and hurting my feelings, it's more likely just a case of you not having a clue what is going on in my life right now and picking the exact worst times to bring me down further, but this letter isn't about me, it's about you. The point is, I am a better person than that, and while at the time my pride did not allow me to admit it because of the way you had treated me in the past and becauase of my knowledge at the time that the link was in fact harmless, I now realize it was wrong for me to take pleasure in your suffering. On the larger scale of things, your offences towards me could have been worse and there are more people in the world who do in fact deserve to suffer.

With that, I am sorry for taking your misfortunes and smiling about them, that was wrong and it shows that I am something and some one that I am not. I am also sorry that your computer is not happy currently, though I really want you to understand that I honestly did believe the link was completely harmless to all machines in the first place. Still I am not certain what happened in your case, as I stated before, but if you truly believe that clicking on that link caused your problems and I can't prove otherwise then I have no choice but to believe you and apologize for any harm that has come to your computer as a result.

I've done this privately because I don't think other people need to be a witness, as long as I have apologized to the party in question, I feel better about myself, however if you feel the need to gain something publicly I will post this letter on the GB as well. Just say the word.

I may not like you, or other people in the GB, but what I have done and said to you is wrong in my books, and while I claimed to enjoy it at the time, I was worried about the damages and what might need to be done to repair it, as well as embarrassed when the Heretic posted his findings and I realized that there was a small window that I had overlooked. When I apologized to the other people who were offended, I did mean it, whether they want to take it that way or not, I didn't neccessarily agree with how they were reacting and because of such hostility over a prank I truly thought people would find just as funny as I did, I found myself becoming more and more defensive, and that defence is what they picked up on, not my true emotions about the whole subject. I honestly wish I had not posted the original link as of now, not becuase I really think it was such a terrible thing, except in your case, but because the general uproar it has caused is not only counterproductive but demeaning and classless as well. Also the upraor and the feelings people are having as a result towards Laurel and Manu are not right, they did nothing wrong and don't deserve their site to be filled with hate and misstrust.

Honestly, had I foreseen any of this happening I would not have posted the link in the first place, but what is done is done. I don't really care if you don't like me, you have made it painfully obvious that you don't and have no intentions to try, same with many others, and that's fine, I am a big girl and I can deal with flame wars on my own and in my own way. In your case however, an apology is deserved because I singled you out and laughed at your pain and suffering, whether you deserved it or not, it was not my place to dictate that fact.

I also want you to know the writing of this letter was not brought on by the new apology thread in the GB, nor was it brought on by threats of legal action, as I never thought you had a case to begin with. Marxist and I talked on the phone last night and I agreed that while there are other factors in my favour at stake here, the fact is whether I want to believe it or not, stooping to the level I did was wrong and uncalled for, I should have sincerely apologized and kept my feelings about you to myself, that would have been the mature thing to do. So anyways, better late than never.

If you need tech support with your computer, I am not very good at explaining what I know without seeing the machine, but Vixenshe's boyfriend is a tech support guy and is quite good with explaining what he knows, he will help you or advise you if you like, also I believe the Heretic has offered his assistance as well. I do hope your computer gets sorted out soon, and that everything is alright with it. Again, I am sorry this link caused unforseen damages to it and I am sorry that I delighted in the irony of the situation when I should have been more mature.

Have a nice day.

Winter

Seeing how there are some looney tunes on the loose today at this GB, and these looney tunes are spamming the board with post after post that has a link included that cries out to some of y'all going,

"CLICK ME" "CLICK ME"...

I thought it would be appropriate to revisit this topic and to remind everyone that this isn't the first time that someone has invaded this place trying to sucker you into clicking on a link...

~i~

 

[RawHumor]

Huh. So IR is now called Design? I didn't know that.

I just thought that Design had stolen her av for her own. Interesting.

 

[breakwall]

I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but why has KR called himself Lit's Only Genious?

Genious?

 

[KID ROCK1]

I don't know either but I do know that I.R. suckered alot of members into clicking on a link and that a few people, Siren, claimed that I.R's link totaly fucked her computer up, and even Wolfy made a post ripping I.R. for turning their puter into scrap metal...

Your bumping of old threads smells like glory day seeking.

Except you had no glory days.

There was quite a bit of "interesting stuff" mentioned in that reply by Unregistered...Alot of name dropping and then I.R. goes ballistic...

The Heretic knows about fucking up peeps computers???

Intersting accusation...

Hey! Roseville! Remember that time me and you and Bobby and June went down to Asbury and we got the mustang up to 125 mph and spent the night on the jetty after puking all up and down the Boardwalk after the Senior Prom? Remember? Remember?

I was more intrigued with her comment concerning her experience with crashing computers on purpose, which is why I left the Heretic's name out of my quote. Maybe I'm misguided, but I don't think he has a malicious bone in his body. As for IR, well now...

Hey Dixon, remember the time we took down the university's timesharing system by locking out the operator's console, hanging up all the phone lines, killing all the jobs, and issuing a HALT to the cpu, then walked out of the lab to get lunch while everyone was hitting their enter keys and cursing?

Ah, to be young again.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

And do you remember those days hangin out at the Village Green? Engineer boots, leather jackets and tight blue jeans? You'd drop a dime in the box and play a song about New Orleans. Cold beer, hot lights. My sweet romantic teenage nights.
