Letter To The Editor

[rando]

That sounds oddly similar to the TOS on SBAF.  Where you are given to understanding site personnel routinely get drunk and ban members before they even have opportunity to express their inner a-hole. 

[wgscott]

No one there seemed to be able to answer your question.  Briefly, newer versions of MacOS don't de-allocate memory in the way you are used to, but keep it as inactive to speed re-loading of programs, web pages, etc.  In short, it isn't really a problem. It just looks like one.

 

In other news, I just got banned from bikeforums for typing "a-hole."  (The claim was I subverted the naughty word censor.)

 

We have it good here.

Here is better than you would expect, some other places they are "off with your head" and some others you could insult the OP and no one would care, crazy world,

Its really hard to know the psychological state of someone at work he other end of a post. Shockingly I’ve seen similar posts sent to little kid’s sports coaches. Presumably a lot of Ethanol was involved those cases but this could be simple mental illness. Psychiatry is the gift that keeps on giving.

Maybe you did not notice, but the guy is into medical drugs anyway. I suppose some times they must undergo endurance testing. 🤡

I realize I have said this a few too many times before, but there does seem to be something about this hobby that brings out the psychos full-throttle.

 

Ever gave it a thought that it could work the other way around ? 😕

[Kimo]

I find that original message somewhat disrespectful.  

[wgscott]

It is just an expression of his individuality.

Hitler was denied that opportunity by not being accepted into Art School... He had to let it out somehow.

Being able to string together a long run of forceful, articulate and non-repetitive insults with an enthusiastic and emphatic delivery is a rare skill, and one properly learned in a workplace or industry not troubled by members of the female persuasion. 

 

In that environment, and only there can that free flowing, deeply profane and irreverent craft be learned.  And please, “Fuck you, you fucking fuck?”  

 

I can get that on a T-shirt at Disneyland.

Did you mean a-hole as in alignment hole somehow? OTOH, subversion of a naught word algorithm is a serious offence.  If they used an evolving algorithm you could be credited with helping it evolve.

It gets worse. I insulted an automated spam-bot.

You're kidding right?

 

 

[Indydan]

That letter to the editor is even worse than the one Dale Thorn sent, after he was banned. 

[mansr]

I suppose it's nice for the editor to get some reassurance that the ban was justified.

[bobbmd]

too too funny

Mr. Friendly followed up his first missive with a second one just now.

OMG, what a smooth talker! 😍 *swoons*

 

 

Edited to add:  I'm joking!  Please don't anyone blow up my inbox with messages like his!  (Thought I'd better make it very clear, you never know on the internet haha!)

[Kimo]

That should teach you not to mail in those cable reviews...

[charlesphoto]

That makes Trump's tweets look absolutely Presidential! This person does seem to love their hyphens...

You know, you cannot have that kind of hate without also having love.  😊

Somebody needs a mental health break.

That's it?  I could insult you much more effectively and creatively, had I the inclination. He's not even good at it. 

[ShawnC]

A bot can be more creative.  Although Con-a-Cock does have a ring to it.
