It will be some time from now when the FBI comes knocking but what they do until then amuses me to no end. I personally laugh at all angles, for my view of life might be a tad cynical.
Your views, and those others who ''put down'' anon's actions are nice, for you and yours. I'll keep to mine as seeing them in the right, and as for taking things down, well, being of a strategic mind with a slight '' see the world as pawns'' kind of ordeal; friendly fire happens all the time. Meh. Oops. Anon will always be anon in the public eye, be it good or bad. I'll support them through thick and thin. They're adorable to me. P.S New-frog to a Chan Girl  M00t's Angyl is like tossing charcoal in a pond and expecting it to turn the water into gold. Sense none? Common not found. |
2. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

No no, I'll vouch for her. She's very cute. She did post a cosplay picture a little over a week ago, and she also posted a some pictures on Faces. That's really her. While I disagree with her on some things, that part is true. At the risk of encouraging her on tangents that I disagree with, to be honest, I kind of like her posts. They're usually from a different angle--sometimes amusing, sometimes insightful--but hardly ever outright bad. But then, I like Golden Girl's posts a lot, too.

SOPA/PIPA are probably dead, but at best we've stalled the corporations from pushing these laws forward. We must remain ever vigilant.
Clay Shirky explains why these laws are bad. TED video.

Don't get me wrong, I love anonymous and I don't find 4chan nearly as revolting as most do. But the "LOL IM A /b/TARD HURRRRR" is -_-;. |

I personally suggest that you at least consider bringing some insight into your forum contributions. Having one Golden Girl is bad enough, and in defense of all her useless snarky posts, she at least knows pretty much everything about COH lore. I don't see an excuse for you. |
I love being put into an ''ignore'' category. It's spacious. Should look into placing me there, I find it quite a homestead.

I'm sure we'll agree on a topic in the future, but this one I stand by. We're mostly on the same side, just on a different spectrum; my side of the street comes with greener grass tho. Lol.

For what it's worth, I find you to be quite a nice person around here. Your posts on this board are quite a refreshing addition. Don't let the local men's club get you down.

I come from WoW's Beta days thru today, so I'm not a softy when it comes to a mass majority mind-meld. I'm used to it, and have learned how to navigate veteran waters with ease. In honesty, with WoW there's more of a younger crowd so it's easier to place them on a shelf to gather dust, but I can tell I'm going to have to polish my thesaurus here. All the oldbies seemed to of gathered in CoH, and they have a pretty mean bite.
Good thing I have an endless supply of tough leather gloves, and a basket full of bait just for the occasion.

Personally, I find you largely vapid, but that's hardly the worst thing you could be. I could also list a few people that have worst things to be >.> but I also think we all have our own roles and that you should just be yourself... I've been in quite a few social circumstances on both sides of the fence at one time or another and i've found that it really doesn't matter because people are going to hate/love you regardless of how you act and there will always be people on both sides of the fence. |
btw, ''largely vapid'' is a bit of an overture, hun.

You are taking the word vapid as meaning boring which is synonymous with the word dull, but vapid is usually used as pertaining to mental dullness as in a a vapid blonde... or lacking in mental sharpness. ie dull or vapid.|

Overture indicates an introduction of some sort and your usage of the word makes no sense in any fashion.

Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
Meanwhile, Talking Points Memo has published a fascinating overview of the opposition to SOPA/PIPA, "How The Web Killed SOPA and PIPA", gathered from interviews with both Hill staffers, Web companies, and online advocates.
Its account of the behind-the-scenes struggle makes for gripping reading, especially how the Senate pulled a bait-and-switch with PIPA early on, how the SOPA supporters' plans to rush the bill through committee and bring it to a vote were fended off, and how Internet activists at places like americancensorship.org and fightforthefuture.org coordinated the resistance to the legislation that culminated in Blackout Day.
Incidentally, it concludes that since Congress will only continue to propose laws pandering to copyright industries at the expense of the Internet, what we really need is a User’s Bill of Rights.
SOPA/PIPA are dead...but hello ACTA...8 out of 11 countries have signed it...

Hence the '' even dull knives..'' but I wouldn't of expected an American or a follower of it's showmanship to catch on. Nothing against Americans, surely (my husbands one), but the twists of proper English and words as a whole make me giggle. Overture is meant thrice ways from sunday, hun. This is just another example of British vs American literature in today's world. I won't mock you, just mildly poke you with the wrong stick until you bruise.|

Yeah... see, you used overture wrong. And then you tried to use slang which apparently doesn't exist or you got wrong and actually meant something else. What you mean is "Look seven ways for sunday" or "look nine ways at thrice" which if I take that you meant those when you said Overture you're still using the word wrong, but even worse is what you are saying and trying to do which is explain something by using slang that you know isn't used in america, nor commonly even in Britain, and getting that wrong as well.|

Which all goes to show what i said to be fairly true, but I would add in a few more negative things, but I won't...cuz I'm nice.

Considering I'm British, grew up in Britain, I would say your knowledge is limited on that subject. Either that, or my Great Grand Parents, Grand Parents, Parents, and my generation (not limited to just my family..) is wrong. If that is the case then I will send them all a personalized note to have them corrected immediately. Not to mention all the political standees, and news networks who have uttered such a phrase from time to time. All this just for you, love.|

Nice cover up for sure. Though it doesn't help your cause any, but then again I understand why being wrong on the internet may hinder your e-cred or e-rep. I'm sorry for pointing out those flaws, and to make up for it here's a picture to help calm your e-rage.
The only posts I've read by you have been based on the premise of, "Hey everyone!~ Look at me! I'm a girl! Did you guys catch that?! I'm a GIRL you guys!"
I personally suggest that you at least consider bringing some insight into your forum contributions. Having one Golden Girl is bad enough, and in defense of all her useless snarky posts, she at least knows pretty much everything about COH lore. I don't see an excuse for you.
