    Man, I would really like to go to school in Boston but I don't know about not being able to see any stars.

    Even if I don't have a telescope I just like looking at them.
    What do they make you feel?

    It feels weird when I can't see them. It's almost a security thing, I like being able to look up and find them there. They just make me think.

    I warned Hippie what would happen. I liked him, but I was unsurprised. :(

    tee hee....

    tee hee... go crawl back under your rock.

    I warned Hippie because I got banned multiple times for exploding on people. I told him "you're going to befall the same fate as me. The only reason I'm still around is because I've tried to control that. If you don't, you're going to get banned. The mods keep a closer eye on people like you and me because we've caused drama here, so they have a lower tolerance for our behavior." The PMs I sent him are long gone, but that was the gist of it. Hell, I might have told him that in public, so you may even be able to find the post(s) I'm referring to.

    So what stones was I throwing there, RiemannLives? It was friendly advice based on experience. Because I didn't want him to get banned.

    How about you keep your ignorant, passive-aggressive snide commentary to yourself.

    Give it a couple weeks drez and you'll have your usual avatar back.

    I'm saying that your posting style is and was every bit as aggravating as Hippie's. He just got up the wrong peoples noses about the religion thing while you got a pass on the creeeeeepy thing. It's all a crapshoot and you got lucky and would be wise to remember that.

    And don't go thinking you've changed man just because Irene left.

    I bet if I get talked about somewhere else it's in the form of "Yeah, that guy posts a lot, but fuck if I can describe him in any way."

    I mostly make uninteresting posts.

    apparently my posts get reported to the mods a lot

    i have heard this from more than one mod

    there's a lot of people who report my posts to get me in trouble, and it's actually a lot of the same people

    the mods do very little about it, because most of the reported posts are just people who don't like me anyway being sour about whatever, and not actually infraction-worthy

    I've told you this before, but you've gotten so much better over the past while Pony.

    For a while I would kind of cringe when you popped into D&D because you had like a wake of SE people who would just cause all kinds of trouble.

    But I have really come to appreciate your postings and your perspectives!

    well, i've actually had a pretty significant series of changes in my life over the past two years

    i went through some pretty serious times

    i came out of it a changed and, in my opinion, better man

    also, i post in SE++ way less than i used to. in fact, i post here more than anywhere else now

    so the cadre of people who despise me on SE++ don't feel as compelled to follow me about causing shit, i guess?

    from what i am given to understand it's not a very large group

    Axe commercials keep getting more and more creepy.

    "Women will fuck you if you spray this on yourself."

    That is their basic marketing campaign. There's really not much "not creepy" one can do with that.

    may i add that will is such a rad fucking dude- i'm not even kidding

    all the japanimation shit he lambastes on here, he seriously isn't malicious about it. hearing him discuss it in person is actually an edifying view of his character. he is very fraternal, maybe even traces of paternal. he taught me stuff about physics, ordering liquor, boston, going back to school, et cetera. even his ribbing about my weight was very friendly.

    though, he did immediately frisk me upon introductions, wondering whether i'd carried across state lines in defiance of MA law

    i was very happy with everyone i met at PAX, but will was probably the guy who surprised me the most with how much i liked him versus what i expected

    This is such a genuinely nice thing to say, Chu.

    Thank you.

    I really enjoyed meeting you and getting to hang out with you. You are a super dude! And actually cleverer in person than you are on the forums even! You have a good-natured, gentle and even character that speaks well of you.

    I really do hope you make it back up to Boston again man. It's just a short train ride.

    The only creeps around here are the people who gossip behind each other's backs (Irene and some other forumer I won't name) and come out of the woodwork to make passive-aggressive snipes (you). You can sit there and judge me if you like. I really don't know who you are despite seeing your name hundreds of times, usually when you slink out of the shadows to say something ignorant like the above two posts in this quote-tree. I'm not sure you even have a distinct personality. But if you don't think it's creepy to post the way you do, maybe you should go back to the mirror and take another look at yourself.

    more than once i have tried to talk to the people who inter-hate me

    about what their deal is

    i find that in most cases, it actually has very little to do with my tone or being sort of rude and pushy or whatever

    and more has to do with my bizarre anecdotes and how people fawn over them and how they think i'm a big fat phoney and hate that i am so "popular"

    that's always been weird for me to deal with, because it's impossible for me to dismiss the idea that they're motivated by jealousy

    and i am like "what in god's name are you jealous of i am a horribly fucked up human being who has had a largely terrible life"

    the answer to that is apparently they are jealous of someone being more interesting than they are
