to folks posting "the only ethical action a sapient being can undertake is painless self termination" in animal rights/agriculture threads and being emptyquoted for several pages.

Did this actually happen or has it become part of lore over the last decade or so?

Late but that made me chuckle from happyelf's saclopedia bc that's basically SA now and I think we all like it that way.

PRON HAUL 2008 KILL YOU ARE PARENTS

Happyelf would have fit right in with CSPAM. He was ahead of his time.

It's really easy to underestimate how conservative the board was back then.

Happyelf won me over when he went on a rant on someone who was disputing black holes or something and he was like "Oh, so you need empirical data. How exactly do you, personally want to gather it? Perhaps with some Oan bling, or a chromed out surfboard?"

He had a way with words, and also a habit of flying off the handle at the slightest provocation, whether about international politics or Dungeons and Dragons.

More like the 2 week mark starting with the long effort post by someone who said they returned their wife's christmas presents so they could donate $6k to a racist white redneck with fantasies of being a restaurant mogul.

It just descended from there as goons got so hyped on their own farts they started insisting Doobie embrace a bunch of SA specific stuff like make a "frog-dog" and start getting really testy when it wasn't happening fast enough.


The guy who ended up triggering the furor was posting in QCS to complain about some poo poo from BBS and also happened to love Weapon Brown as an excuse for why he should be allowed to say the bad word.


And so the forum went to war.

ok so he was a guy who believes everyone secretly uses or wants to use racial slurs but they're forced to be polite by THOSE PC LIBS

CineD is having an extremely normal one over (you guessed it...) Marvel movies

In which we discuss what people expect of "discussion" and where SMG levels up into a thread-destroying JRPG boss.

Gonna need a summary of 16 pages of Marvel nonsense, thanks.

They are.

Also as someone who's been registered here for far too long, people have been complaining about mods not letting things be like they used to be since at least 2003.
