Whatever happened to that Chaotic L4wy3r we had?

I have a strong feeling that he is spending his pennies in meatspace.

Damn, I wish I could afford a writer. And a band to play my theme song whenever I make an entrance.

You should get a Christian rock band to do it. God knows they need the business. No pun intended.

I'll send my brother Wally to give them the business.

Don't you think they'd be a bit uncomfortable playing his theme song? I mean, is "Feed My Frankenstein" really appropriate for a Christian band?

Tell them it's symbolic of worshiping Jesus, they'd probably buy it.

As far as the alignment discussion, I'm definitely Chaotic neutral. I have no respect for rules or procedures, because all they do is complicate things and make them more inefficient. The neutral part is because I can really go either way on the good or evil thing, depends on the person, situation, and day, and I don't mind helping others, but at the end of the day I always put myself first.

I'm Chaotic Neutral if I recall correctly from the last time I tested.

Demosthenes · « **Reply #2457 on:** June 13, 2007, 06:01:52 PM »

I am the exact alignment all forum moderators should be. Chaotic Evil.

At least, that's what I test out to every time.

pbsaurus · « **Reply #2458 on:** June 13, 2007, 06:05:26 PM »

Gee, all of us people coming here from work are testing out as Chaotic. Who woulda thought....

Goddammit, I just had another big fight with the guy.

Me -"Look, I don't give two shits if that's how the vendor's website says to do it, I did it this way and I KNOW it works like this."

Him - "Oh, no, no no, we have to do it step by step just like it says here oh wait no it says to do it like this but we need this first but that page is down so we have to look here and it's not the x32 version but the x64 version but we're on x32 so we need to investigate more and..."

AARRRGH!

See, if you were CE instead of CG, you'd already have a solution to this problem.

He gave up and did it my way. It worked.

Amazing, huh?

So, we have internal blogs at work. For the most part, employees can blog about whatever they like (within the bounds of not violating workplace policies). Some guy posts a blog about "why he hates NPR". It's a bunch of blah blah blah about NPR being all left-leaning, and their experts aren't really experts at all, blah blah blah. Well, these blogs have the ability to leave comments. Most, but not all, of the comments were of the harumph harumph, right-leaning variety. None of it was particularly vitriolic, but for some reason it annoyed the hell out of me. I posted the following comment:

Quote

There's a very simple solution for those of you who don't like the (perceived) bias that NPR brings to its reporting. Don't listen to NPR's reporting. Watch Fox News, and only Fox News. Frequent Rush Limbaugh's web site and listen to his radio show. Find a Universal Press Syndicate outlet and read Ann Coulter's columns. If that doesn't satisfy your need for demagoguery, nothing will.

I'm wondering if it's a bit much for the workplace...I'm considering emailing the blog owner and asking him to remove it.

Isn't that about the same argument as "if you don't like this country you can leave"? If you don't like this station, you can turn it...

ivan · « **Reply #2470 on:** June 19, 2007, 05:32:06 PM »

I listen to NPR every day, and hear a full spectrum of opinion and viewpoint. You are as likely to hear a conservative as you are a liberal take on things. Where does the notion that NPR is liberal come from? Because it has the word "Public" in its title?

pbsaurus · « **Reply #2471 on:** June 19, 2007, 05:39:44 PM »

Because they actually allow Libertarians, Constitution Party, Greens, etc. to express their opinions.

Simple word association: "Public" = PBS = LIEberal media.

Can't have that.

You know who else liked to censor dissenting viewpoints? That's right. ~~Bush~~ Hitler.

GODWIN ITT

Besides, you get more comedy if he continues to post. Give him enough rope and eventually he'll post something that will get him in hot water.

no, no, no...i meant, that i'm considering emailing him and asking him to remove my comment, not his blog post. i meant that i was worried that my snarky comment was a bit much for the workplace.

If you censor yourself, does that make you a fascist?
