Is it possible that his suit was hacked, the name (and password) changed, and he is unable to get into it to post or reply to messages?

Is Tom able to check if the password has been changed?

He posted a day or so ago. Tom has apparently been in touch by email, so presumably if the suit is hacked the original owner can let him know.

Actually, going by his posts in the 'Lost US' thread (pages 12 and 13) it seems as if the SR may have had 'issues' for quite some time.

An apology thread by that person in Conversation. Seems he wasn't able to change his name, and says it will take the 28 days.

Barely an apology thread. It would seem he hasn't read his messages yet, so while Tom probably could change his suit name if he's on the case (he did it for me a while ago, after my first suit was hijacked by youknowwho) he hasn't investigated that option. On first appearences he appears to be digging his heels in for the full-on 'YOUR ALL F3MINAZIS!!1!' approach.

Could another G&G moderator try and come up with an abstract for that baseball thread, please? I'm drawing a blank and don't really understand what it's supposed to be about (besides 'baseball', obviously).

As has been said, it's not an apology thread in any real sense. It is a classic 'Kilroy apology' - "I am sorry, but I was right in every way and you are all too sensitive" - and I trust that those who were waiting to see how he reacted will take the thread he has started as such.

I must admit that after our earlier discussion of "putting him out the airlock," I snorted with amusement to see this:

I'm afraid in my vaccum its a bit of a joke

I've asked posters in the Comics threads to which he is currently posting not to respond to his posts until a name change can be put into effect.

So, he's currently posting? Response not overwhelming enough?

Possibly we need to ban him for his own good.

I don't think so, Haus. He posted to Comics before he started the thread in Convo, but hasn't been active here since then. Unless there were posts in there that have been deleted.

Could someone please for the love of Christ fix the spelling of Sensetive and the tags in Desperate Math's "Barbelith Doesn't get mad, it gets locked" thread.

The new Sopranos thread describes series six as the penultimate series. I was under the impression that series six would be the last series. Am I bad, evil and wrong?

I don't know what the protocol is on this or anything; but somebody may want to delete that last post in the women musicians thread.

Please will a mod of Art Fashion & Design remove the duplicate thread? 'Day to day data' is both here and here.

I have put in a request for the duplicate AF&D thread to be deleted. Given the recent discussions I should say that the one I have put the request on is the first one, here.

I can't do anything about the gay weaponry because I'm not a music mod. Also it makes my brain boggle a bit.
 
 
Shrug
20:11 / 13.03.06
Yeah I don't know about "weapons are gay" either. I mean some are a bit phallic but I wouldn't call them gay or anything.

20:13 / 13.03.06
Unless phalluses themselves are inherently 'gay'.

20:15 / 13.03.06
Still perhaps a music mod should pm him a link to the The heterosexual intercourse is gay thread. *shrugs*

Unless phalluses themselves are inherently 'gay'.

I am pleased and intrigued by this suggestion. Although, also had a confused but charmingly surreal vision of swarms of ouroboric cocks. It was all very Salvador Dalì.

"Cocks are gay", though? Might make for some good grafitti that.

Can we not just have any referent to weaponry excised from that thread?

From Wikipedia:

"The Sopranos is a television drama on HBO about a Mafia family in Northern New Jersey. It has enjoyed five very successful seasons, with its sixth season which premiered on March 12, 2006. In August 2005, HBO announced it was also producing eight "bonus" episodes that would debut in January 2007. It is currently believed that those eight bonus episodes will be the last of the series."

So, really, it is the last season with a half season behind it.

This comment was directed at those who were under the impression that my thread summary was factually incorrect. Really, it's a half-truth. If Mods want to change it, I will not be offended.

Not a request, since I mod the forum, but I'm not sure what to do about posts like this.

I mean it's a two-year old thread, which this this guy has bumped to plug his version of the HOGD. He's offering a website with free texts... but also telling us about the sign-up fees and stuff for his organisation.

This same poster apparently also posted a gang-rape joke to the Feminism 101 thread, so I'm sort of inclined to doubt his commitment to Sparkle Motion in any case, but I could do with some input.

It seems that DEDI has signed up to Barbelith to hock his wares at the Temple and while he was here thought it would be funny to post that shit in the Feminism thread. Delete and Purge.

... or if you're feeling charitable PM him to edit his post without the guff in it.

I've contented myself with posting in thread, referring him to the wiki entry on etiquette.

Culd we change the thread title here? It's about more than one issue now, andd ought to reflect that.

There's a few suggestions for name changes downthread.

'Tom Strong & the end of the ABC Universe'?

I'm not sure what to recommend with regard to the DEDI situation, but I'm really very worried that someone who registered at the same time as him has cropped up in thread to defend him.

Why? Because there's this constant fucking horrible and depressing flame war that's been going on between two GD orders for the last many years[1]. They do a lot of this kind of stuff - registering multiple suits in order to argue nine sides of an arguement and make each other look bad.

Basically, as a (hopefully) fully paid up member, I'd say keep an eye on and be prepared to moderate either or both of these chappies.

[1] Full disclosure - I've read a lot of GD lists in the past. I'm not a member of either of these groups, nor am I involved in the ongoing fight. I *am* a member of a GD group that has no relationship to either of these groups. I'm also suspicious and depressed that a post of mine where I said as much is what's brought these sharks circling around the bait.

If that is the case, I'm deeply, deeply sorry. The Temple was my place away from that crap, where I could talk sensibly about magic without it all devolving into a never ending arguement about who the "real GD" are.

Don't worry. We have...ways... of preventing that from happening.
