That's not a copyright. I would go so far as to say that you cannot copyright an adjective-noun combination unless it is a registered trademark, such as "Barefoot Doctor". Even then, the absence of anything resembling a profit motive or an attempt to defraud would make the issue legally complex. You may want to talk to a lawyer about this before making specious legal threats. We've had this on Barbelith before.

Near as I can tell, what you have been doing here is harrassing another member of Barbelith who has not actually done anything wrong, legally or (unless you can demonstrate somehow that he "stole your name", rather than that he went through a process of simultaneous inspiration using the building blocks of the English language) morally, who has attempted to accommodate you despite your rude, childish and threatening tone and who at this point would be entirely within his rights to tell you to piss off and stop stalking him.

Frankly, if anyone needs moderation here it isn't zoot_suit. Or should I say... Paranoidwriter?

A thing that looked like a weasel just shoved a note under my door reading "CUT IT OUT, BITCH". I'm a little bemused.

I think this note says "YOU'RE FUCKING CLAIMED, MATE. I'M GOING TO TAKE THE POPE'S FLOWERING STAFF AND SHOVE IT RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE". But my Middle German's not that good...

Well, I'm going to steam over and demand that he stop using the word "Carnival" forthwith.

If I knew PW was going to go completely bat-shit I never would have said anything.

Honest.

S'all right, Ms.Triplets; the fault was ALL mine and everybody knows it.

For future reference: an apology here..

Well, I'm being a little harsh. Glad to see you've slept on it, though.

You're only saying that because you fear these heartless enforcers of intellectual property, Triplets:

Can someone fix the spelling on the Kaiser Chiefs thread title in Music, please. It's killing me. Softly.

Rage is back, spamming away merrily. The one in the Barbeannoy thread can stay, the others I've moved for deletion.

Quiet and Relaxed=Rage? Aaaahh, of course, now I feel slow.

Links to the spam? Also, if she's trolling, we should think about killing the suit.

N00b not quite getting how this works. Delete, pls. God, I miss moderating the Creation...

The 'How do you wipe your bottom thread?' Could somebody at least change it's title? It's just that there's going to be this thing in the Guardian on Monday, and people might see...
 
 
Triplets
16:58 / 09.09.05
It's either a very well timed trolling and/or the guy's a prat. I'd settle for a locking and name change, in-bred member of the royal family stylee.

The problem is that everyone's replying to it, as they are want to do. I also can't think of a new title that isn't worse than the original. I think we'll just have to hope that people stop talking there so the thread can be allowed to slip away...

No chance. The good people of the Grauniad readership will read about us, have a look and be confronted with the pebble-or-log debate. Nice.
'but you're just a prude who's ashamed of talking about poo!'
No, I just think there are better things to talk about than wipe direction. Like the best way to stab out your own eyes with a spoon say, or whether the sun will rise tomorrow.

I am shamed, like Barbelith is a normally-sensible drunken relative at Xmas with stuff on their face trying to snog the cat.

Quiet & relaxed spamming away merrily in the convo mostly, but pick any random thread and there's likely to be a recent contribution.

Surely the poo could be locked temporarily, only to float back later?

Or we could offer fifty quid to the person who sinks it.

Who's Hipsteria? Some kind of on-again-off-again troll?

It's Rage, Trips. So yes, an on-again-off-again troll.

Would anyone mind if I asked to have this thread locked? My reasons are in my last post to it.

Just put a request in. Sorry, man, I read your post last night at work, and then completely fucking forgot to act on it.

Gah, I'm torn. Is this too fluffy for books and should be moved to the Conversation or am I being oversensitive? It is, after all, not really asking for a serious discussion of the book in question...

I agree - I'll propose moving it.

Cube- just checked it, and the lock's gone through.

Why thankyou. I feel better now. The little fella was beginning to run wild and stupid. Will corral my thoughts and do it properly later in the week when that one has had a chance to sink.

I don't know if this really counts as a moderation request, but I'd appreciate Moderator opinion before I start a thread over in Conversation.

Essentially it's one of those Q and A things that did the rounds of my friend's inboxes a few years ago (you know the sort, twenty or so random-ish questions to let people know a little more about yourself). I just wanted to know if anything similar already exists somewhere down the Conversation list, if so then I won't bother with a repeat.

There are various Barbeinterview threads, but I don’t think anyone’s done one of those ‘What’s your favourite colour?’, ‘What’s on your mouse mat?’ (A mouse! Har har!) threads before. At least not recently. Go for it, I say, particularly if you’ve come up with some good questions.
 
 
Regrettable Juvenilia
13:50 / 13.09.05
Make that only if you’ve come up with some good questions.
 
 
Quantum
18:03 / 13.09.05
...and you're prepared for seventy different ways of not answering the question as the responses.
 
 
Evil Scientist
20:12 / 14.09.05
...and you're also prepared for people taking it a little more seriously than intended. Heh.
