Down With This Moderatarian Government

I don't know about you folks, but that third thread down, the "Rules" one by T'lainya irks me every time I see it. I don't have a problem with rules being posted (it's more fun to break them when they are official), but we should be able to protest those rules in civil discussion (which, actually we can, in the other Stick thread that was established expressly for that purpose, but nevermind that), BUT the thread is closed. So, it sits up there with this taunting "O" replies icon, blicking at me, lodging itself in my mind. I want to change the O, make it a 1, a 2, anything.

But I can't.

They won't let us. Ahhhhhh!

Now, there aren't many threads in the history of this forum which have had the rather dubious distinction of remaining un-replied to. I think only ThorinOakenshield, craig and Aegis have be able to achieve that up until now....But, this one doesn't count, because it is not that no one has any desire to post to it, it is that they CAN'T! This is not liberty my friends, this is not justice.

I say we all refrain from posting until this assault on our freedom has ceased! At arms, men, who's with me?

If you add a reply to it, @Sleep, I will have to remove it. Entropy must have its way. Hail, Eris! :D ;)

If entropy must have its way, so must inertia. So, if you start the cycle of adding and deleting posts, that cycle, like the expansion of the universe, must continue indefinately.

Don't listen to him Sleep! He wouldn't know Superstring theory from SuperSymmetry theory. Change the "0". I'm sure T'lainy didn't really want that Big O anyway.

So what possible incentive have i for changing the post count, it seems it is a lose lose situation, perhaps if i was to have *ahem* compensation *ahem* for my actions then i would feel it justified....plus playing with one of T's threads is a dangerous sport, i am likely to lose more than my pride! :eek:

Don't look here Buck

Bribery is a rather racey subject to discuss in the open like this, you never know who may be watching....


But, how's this. I will construct a Temple To Sleep, God of Justice right here within the walls of SYM.

I like a man who doesn't follow the Principle of the Excluded Third. Strike out on your own, and sweep logic under the carpet! :)

This time I'm being very decisive and choosing T'lainya!

....Or Sleepy

...Or Fable, if he emerges the victor....

No, don't tell me. It's about alchemy, isn't it? You burn the red dragon with the white maiden, and then...blast! Where is that copy of the Necronomicon when you need it...

T'lanya!

Fable: Voted to remove that thread, or at least the O
Sleep: Voted to remove that thread, or at least the O
Aegis: Voted to remove that thread, or at least the O

I'm warning you T'lainya, we will revolt.


Fable: No, no no. Alchemy is where you mix T'laniya genes with rabid aardvark genes and produce a pleasant woman.


EDIT: That's strange, I was typing "Aarvark" while T' was tying "Arkham".

EDITII: I think the Adenine parts are probably pretty good.

I think you add the sulfur next. :) Maybe Arkham University would let you borrow their copy.

Revolt all you like Foul, I'll trample your constitution again. There is no way any par of my genetic code is pleasant! I'm offended Foul. :mad:

Well T'- You know you have as much of my support as you've had before. :D :p
