See, that's what I meant talking about covert ops. I don't have that 
much time to sift through all the tons of off-topic posts and see if I 
can find yours. I checked the rather regular "New thread by Invisible" 
quota and found that you've gone silent.
I personally found Warp's phrasing a little harsh, but others already 
mentioned that they don't mind your posts, so I figured it covered. But 
then, no more posts from Invisible! So I got a little worried. (Yes, I 
didn't "just notice", I got a little worried, you're a sensitive guy).

Be amused! Why should that be an insult? I'm wishing that you'd rather 
ran off with a girl instead of being sulky about something, or worse, 
that something bad happened to you. That's not an insult, is it?

And after the kitchen is ready, you and you're mother will be baking 
cookies to secretly convince everyone that you're both really GREAT 
PEOPLE and it'd be the BEST FOR EVERYONE if you get World Leadership... 
I get it. Cunning plan. Not sure if it's going to work. Not everyone

Just don't have much time to go near the computer, that's all.

Heh. A bunch of random Internet heads know that I'm a sensitive guy. Now 
if I could convince some girls of this fact...

Interestingly, I usually *do* have time to read almost every single post 
on this forum. And then get bored that there are no new posts popping 
up. I should probably get a life or something...

Maybe they could be like Wilderness Cookies and have cocane in them?

Course, you JUST HAD to understand it the wrong way... Even though it 
says what I meant right there in the original post, but here's a 
rephrasing just to be 100% sure:
"If he ran off with a girl, scratch that I'd be WORRIED, I'd be PROUD." :-P

Hm... Of course, those eating the cookies would be thus turned quite 
easily... Still haven't resolved the problem of non-cooky-eating people. 
But you're remodelling the entire kitchen, you'll probably have room for 
some other tasteful meal...

Well, I've warned everyone here by now. If they spread the word, your 
plan is mute, and you need to come up with something new. Sorry for all 
the work on the kitchen and stuff, but I can't just let you take over MY 
world... Eh... Ups. Did I say that out loud?  q>.<p

Tim

Sadly, this is not the case. (The girl I was hoping for has simply 
stopped speaking to me.)

But they're Wilderness Cookies! People will buy them even if they don't 
intend to eat them, because they're so cute. ;-) [Or maybe from the 
cocane fumes, if I keep them warm...]

"See his eyes, they're bloodshot red, and bloodshot's what you're going

trying to hide it, that's what's bothering you..."

I set the kenned ham thread to 'ignore' so that its posts don't show as 
unread. That thread (flamewar?) was (is?) growing out of control.

But I'm now reading the *other* 53 (!) unread posts from .off-topic

I think it happened in 2003 or maybe 2004.  Bill was quite prolific poster, 
similar to Invisible, but the difference was that Bill's posts were often 
meant to incite, although he was also known for posting lots of "nothing".

Then one day, he seemed to "lose it".  He compared Warp's criticism to 
"raping his family" and said he would never post here again.  He never did. 
I often wonder what happened to him.  It's oddly funny and sad at the same 
time.

For whatever reason, I remember this exchange, probably because I was new 
here, and because it was funny:
Bill: "Ahhh...  Relaxing with a glass of lemonade after mowing my lawn.  Who 
needs drugs?"
Warp: "People who don't have lawns."

Ah.  Vaguely remember Bill.  Must have missed the rape thing (had a lot 
going on around that time).  Just had this wacky image of Warp intoning, 
"I will rape you and your grandfather and your dog."  Didn't seem right 
somehow...

I mean, I can see him offering to, oh, I don't know, *proofread* 
someone's entire family, but that's just not the same thing at all...
