Rusmeister would often claim that politcally he was neither right nor left. Nevertheless, he was so convinced that he was right, that he left!sindatur wrote:Heh, try reading back on some Rusmeister's posts in Abortion and Gay Marriage threads, he often shocked even the most Conservative Current posters.Shaun das Schaf wrote:In that case you better get me some of that Thick Skin Juice you're drinking!

Charge!! I'm right behind you. Well, not right behind you but behind you. Actually I'm rather a long way behind but I'm still behind you dammit. Charge!!
Um, anyone got a band-aid for that brave lady's gaping head wound?
Seriously though, I think I'm just adjusting to a bit of 'Tank culture shock.' Genuinely surprised by some of the views in there sometimes.
That's meant somewhat affectionately, given the nature of the thread. I actually kinda miss the guy.^"Amusing, worth talking to, completely insane...pick your favourite." - Avatar

Yeah, I kind of miss him, too.
Not enough to try to fetch him back, mind you.

Yeah, I like rus too (I doubt he's very far away. He likes us too you know!)
I loved the way he kept overturning our assumptions. For me, this is always valuable because any consensus has to be based on common assumptions or premises and those should be tested and questioned regularly so that true openness remains a reality.

Awww, sounds cute... he did leave his e-mail address y'know. I've mailed him once and heard back from him.
Sure, he's said he's not especially interested in random socializing, and sure it's hard for many of us to even exchange holiday greetings without tensions beginning...
(S'pose that does make it kinda tricky.) *shrug*

Btw, I liked this comment a lot... reminds me of a "longer version" of the "Serenity prayer" that I've seen. ("actual" one, not parody.Avatar wrote:...Yeah, it goes in cycles. Me, I don't judge, and I don't hold grudges. *shrug* People are what and who they are, not what I want them to be.

So, as it turns out, spioler tags doesn't work on images and emoticons on this board? I never knew that before. Well, you can fist clench me anyway if this post is full of too many stupid images or usage of emoticons.
I found my DS, which I thought was lost, about 2 weeks ago
*fist unclench*
Back to playing 1-gen-outdated games on the run as well as at home!
*fist flexes happily*
Jesus schist this one game is hard and these bosses are destroying me!
*fist clench*
OK it's under control they're all dead!
*fist clench*
and by that I mean
But still something like 4-6 tougher guys to defeat including the Grand Poobah,

Holsety,
For your amusement, "DS" is an oft-used internet abbreviation for "dear son"...
Fortunately, I've read enough posts of yours that imply that Holsety-children is a hypothetical future possibility you're not precisely considering any time soon...
so my reaction was confusion rather than "oh my, he lost his kid... but now he's found him!"
"or the beholder may die..."
Get it? "beholder"?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beholder
I'm finding the pictures and emoticons amusing rather than annoying, but you clearly put some of this on the wrong thread!
*shakes fis-*
umm, ermmm... nevermind about that last bit.
