Responsible parenting! What a refreshing change, somebody who doesn't expect the village to raise his children, but is willing to actually teach them useful lessons in life. I applaud you, Sir.

Istay nglishnay hatay ouyay peaksay foay, ithway uckfay? C'e cazzo significia?

Hmm, Zoodles, neh?

Do you find yourself moody or blue when you compose these pithy turns of the alliterative phrase?

Random-

I hope you prevail in this matter, obtain a judgement, use a Sheriff's seizure and sale and throw this scummy little piece of work, and his parents out on their asses to freeze in a snowbank. Just for the record, I called this one on June 7th. This punk is a liar from the word go, and went into this entire enterprise thinking he was smarter than the entire world, and that he was the one genius who could finesse a PayPal scam. It's too bad a small claims judge can't also sentence him to stay away from the computer for the next couple of decades.

Good luck.

Another really nice option is the Allsteel #19 chair. I like the adjustments lightly more than the Aeron, and the base moves easier. Of course for $1,300 the damn chair should be massaging my butt when I sit in it. And I only paid $100 for it brand new... one of the joys of living in a city where really good deals fall off the back of trucks on demand when you know the right rep.

One would think so, but then one would be confronted with the reality of what the Intersango Gango is really all about. Shame, shame shame.

I went to high school with a girl named Protagoras Theorem, she though she knew all the angles.

That's the best joke so far... the guy behind the loss of a half million dollars in other people's money, who many consider to be the person responsible for taking the money, comes to a joke thread to pimp his next project. And better still that project is ALSO able to magically inflate the value of your coins!!!

Zhou Tong, the perpetual inflation machine.

I guess until we show him respect, we are all expected to just remain silent so that he can enjoy his well-earned vacation on YOUR funds after he spent so much time dodging the issues about YOUR funds.

Or is that "fucking respect"? I forget, it was so many embarrassing moments ago for the Intersango Gango Clown Patrol.

I am stunned that a writer would not do adequate due diligence in an article passing judgement on the legality of certain issues and make the effort to research the actual laws at issue. But rather than turning to a somewhat contentious internet community for answers, perhaps your follow-up article would be well served by referencing some of the following:

Okay, whoa. I am not challenging Matthew or the Mods or anybody else here. I was making a point that those who contribute are given a little bit more rope to hang themselves with. That's all. Donate and you get a greater degree of forbearance. I know damn good and well that I have pushed up against the barriers of good taste, social politeness, and reasonable debate on numerous occasions. That's who I am. Matthew is much the same. He gets to carry a Staff badge, and that can be a license to avoid judgement. Others with similar badges have stickied their own commercial posts, have engaged in flame wars, taunted and insulted with the best of them. Machs nichts. My point, to get pedantic with it, is that there are varying levels of tolerance in this community, and when someone has acted like Uncle Sugar, and spread his happy financial sunshine around, he buys tolerance, and even defensive reaction.

Yes, I was joking, in the tone of Matthew's post citing all the examples of how he has ABUSED USERS.

Please, in the interest of accuracy and integrity, consider the context here.

Mike Jones is actually the RL name of a WWE wrestler. Somehow I don't think Atlas would last in a cage match.

I swear by those stupid split keyboards, and have 4 more hermetically sealed in storage for future use.

My first job in college was sysadmin for FORTRAN and COBOL.

Unprotected sex was safe (and fun and available!).

A fag was something English wanna-be's smoked.

Boeing 707's were the shit for transcontinental flight, and you could fly Braniff, TWA, Pan Am, Eastern, Piedmont, Hughes Airwest, and flight attendants were called stewardesses, and were uniformly hot females.

Silicon Valley was the shitty part of the Bay Area, and the only thing to see there was the Winchester House, and then only if you were driving through, since it was on a par with the Mystery Spot in Santa Cruz.

European countries all had their own currencies, and they were cool- Marks, Francs, Drachma, Kroner, and traveling was a bitch because you had to know exchange rates against thirty currencies.

There actually was a place where all the Communists lived, it was called the Soviet Union, and it was creepy as hell going there, and accidentally smuggling in 4 ounces of hash from Copenhagen damn near gave me a heart attack when I discovered it in my backpack, AFTER the border search.

The point is actually made in your ability as a Staff member to hurl abuse on people. Those who are donators, Staff, Insiders, Double Secret Buddies, VIP's etc. have wider latitude to misbehave than the rank and file. If you were just a little newt of a n00b and you started with the fucktards and the cocksuckers etc., you would soon find yourself afoul of the management. Instead, you are Staff so you can go full Tourette's and not suffer a hiccup.

Okay, so the Mods and the Admins are really nothing more than the great unwashed hoi polloi like the rest of us but they get shiny user titles. The board is funded, in part, by those donations, so you are volunteers laboring for a system that is, in part, funded by questionable source. Personally I don't take issue with any of you, even when I have been rightly or wrongly disciplined, its the nature of a beast like this forum. But, please don't ask any body to believe that there is not a wider sense of tolerance for significant donators.

My guess is Rarity is always "happy", isn't that a by-product of Clarity?

This ^^^ is either Scientology doctrine or Atlas, I'm not sure which, but both are equally creepy.

I am seriously considering suing the forest from whence came the wood pulp that became the paper upon which I read sad news the other day. Where should I serve my papers?

That's about as ethically competent as the thought that this forum or any other fora, could be liable for any criminal act of any individual posting thereupon.

Just for shits and grins, consider that argument in the reverse... is this forum also legally liable for not removing the information posted about the alleged criminal Zhou Tong, or the alleged criminal acts of the AurumXchange? Is this forum also not in direct violation of AML laws in every country that has the internet, since there is clearly money laundering being discussed here?

Let's turn the dial down from hysterical knee-jerk reaction and get back to just slightly off-kilter again- this is just silly.
