And it was a word-for-word post of another thread....

Even though I gave links to it, I was lambasted by about 8 members for not just posting the thread without the link...

I'm not judging, I'm just wondering why things have changed today? I'm just wondering if I were to post 8 page long threads here today if I would not get the same treatment that I got back then.

Is this "preferential treatment" or is this truly "progress?"

Not real sure what your issue here is, or what you're referencing, but we do have an array of Jr Journalists here who think it's their job here to monitor posts and act as editor for the site. Particularly if you take a contrary position to theirs, they'll jump on you for typos, punctuation, citations...anything and everything they can think of, to ridicule you on a personal level, with hopes of discrediting you and your views.

Were this site being graded or our posts submitted for some sort of graduate level courses, I'd understand, but some just take it to the level of ridiculous.

And you have shown yourself to be more than willing to do every bit of that and more. Don't pretend for a second that you're above it.

Damned straight. I don't even wonder anymore, I KNOW they do! But then, given his posts have been so pathetically repetitive for so long, one can very easily write them FOR him, so there aren't a lot of options...aside from ignoring him that is.

Well, I really want to know... what set this off? Was it someone else's post that was accepted as being "credible" without the requisite links? Did that lead 6IX to feeling that his credibility was somehow slighted? Without knowing the original post, or the post that he evidently compared it to, it would be hard to make any reasonable comment on it. but my curiosity is piqued.

Good questions Signy.... Thank You :)

Consciously, I don't know why I posted this thread any more than I understand why I post some of the horrible shit that I have towards other members in recoil over the last few weeks.

Truthfully, I don't remember posting this thread any more than I remember calling Niki the dreaded "C" either. (Seriously, sorry about that Niki!!!!!!! )




Maybe it's because I make it a habit not to post off of other's articles to this day because back in the day I was ridiculed for posting 8-page 1st-posts in a thread when I could have just linked people here and I wanted to know why Niki got a "bye" on that.

Maybe it's because since then I've written things on my own, and though I will admit that when I'm well in the bag they don't turn out well for me here in the RWED, I take pride in a lot of them elsewhere.

I'm really sorry for things I've said personally about people here in my drunken stupor. I FKING hate the RWED. I FKING hate that it seems to draw me in to its claws after all these years. I FKING hate that it's such a draw for me in my "drunken hours" now after I've given up a 4-5 year long project that was ultimately far more unhealthy for me but could be done while drinking.

Today, I need to work for cash for food and for home improvements. The previous 5 years, I was making so much and had 3 and 4 day weekends off that I was working tirelessly on an unpaid project 80 hours a week, unpaid, even while I was drinking (and at that time, smoking tons of bud). A lesser man would have nothing after those 5 years......

Gods... how I wish I could tell all of you what I'd been the leader of for so many years and shown you what it could do, but I'm sworn to secrecy about it. I'm sure in 10 years, you'll all be the beneficiaries of the work of me and hundreds of other "unpaid soldiers", but none of us will ever see a dime.

We worked in the trenches when bandwidth was limited, filehosting was a grey-area and our "free-time" was "free-time" for those with the "money".

If anybody's every experimented with GameTap, well......

Child's play compared to this.....

If I'm lucky, after spending over 3,000 hours of my life into the project, the most I can hope for is a side-credit for collaboration when the money starts rolling in to people's pockets that weren't even born when 20% of the games were made.

I'm not a big fan of posting the entire article here. I prefer to post a few paragraphs and a link; I would like the author of the article to get paid, after all!

You're damned if you do, and damned if you don't. If you "cherry pick" and post a few paragraphs, you're going to get accused of purposefully editing and selectively leaving out information (Geezer is well known for whining about this); if you include the whole article, you're going to get bitched at for taking up too much bandwidth and posting stuff that's too long for the gnat-on-meth attention spans of most Americans.

Post what you want. If I'm interested, I'll read it; if I'm short on time, I'll mark it for later and try to get back to it.

So you're posting this stuff and not remembering it? That tells me you need to drink a little less my friend. Having a beer doesn't cause someone to not remember what happened. Drunk posting would actually explain a _lot some of the nonsense you post sometimes.

Yes Riona.....

What should I be more concerned about? Posting things horrible things here I don't even remember posting, or waking up in my crawlspace after having made a "bed" for myself out of unused foam tubing to insulate water pipes a few months back? I'm way too young to be doing either of those things....

Why can't we legalize pot? Seriously.....

It would be so much better for my liver and overall well being in the long run, and I never had any blackouts or sleepwalking spells.... not to mention that I was generally a much more nicer and mellow guy.....

One beer??????

Try 10-13 beers in a "night", almost regularly, since I gave up smoking pot in April of 2011.

My "nights" often today are after 6AM after working the night shift. Gotta drink quick before the heat makes living unbearable in my UN-air-conditioned house. I woke up last Friday at 6PM, in a 90 degree house, shivering and shaking as if it were 20 degrees in the house. I drink 8 bottles of water in 8 hours a work overnight and I don't go to the bathroom once, even though I have to literally wring my shirt out in the parking lot when the day's work is done.

The funny thing is, I don't even have a single craving for pot, and haven't for at least half a year now. I guess drinking yourself silly while not occupied by a job or house work negates that desire over time....

Get jogging. You can't do it with a hangover.

And eat properly. Salads, fresh veg and fruit every day. Do not drink and eat junk. Doubleplusbad.

Oh and if you realised you have wronged someone by what you have said (and I can think of at least one example of you being a total prick) APOLOGISE unreservedly.

How much activism are you engaging in on the issue?

Are you out there working for legalization, or home drinking 10-13 beers a night?

You do realize that YOU are a part of that "WE" you talk about, yes?

Stop waiting for someone to hand it to you, and get to work making it happen!

Bingo. I've done both; I've been accused of both. So I know it's a no-win scenario and do what I think is best. You want a gripe: I'm not fond of people who post a link and one sentence. I don't know what they're addressing unless I go to the link, which I'm not fond of doing, so usually I pick up on the topic better after a few people have remarked on it. Often I go to the link, but I can't keep it open to quote it AND stay in RWED. Yes, I copy/paste stuff to Word, as I do with the stuff I put up, too, but it's a pain. I'd rather have the option of reading it right here. So my usual solution is to post a bit of whatever the topic is, then add "More at" and the link, so people know what it's about, and can go to the link if they want more.

Well its clear you know what you need to do Jack, cut back on the beer. I don't want you waking up in your crawl space again either, I'm glad you figured out how that happened, now you can do something to keep it from happening again. And yes that's pretty bad, I remember when you posted it, I couldn't figure out how that would happen if you weren't a regular sleepwalker, in which case it could indeed happen without substances aiding.

Oh god.....

Just have to say here Niki, that it's impossible to read anything you post since none of it, except for your obvious hatred of me is your own words.

I'm willing to admit that I might be just as obnoxious when I post half as long as your novels of quotes, but who has time to read it?


If you post something with quotes, it should be something that can help people better their lives. People are always looking for ways to do that.

If you're going to constantly be a "Debby Downer" like me, at least use your own words, and occasinally throw in a link or youtube video if you feel the need to justify yourself.

I appreciate that Niki posts her articles, at least part of them anyways, because its easier for me than going to the link. I don't have to read the whole thing if I don't want to, I can skim what Niki wrote. Plus she usually puts her opinion at the bottom, so she does show us what she thinks most of the time.

Sorry Rionna, but I HATE hearing that from you the most....

If she's posting 7 pages of virtual crap most of the time, and you're just skimming it, but then you're taking note of the two sentences taken out of context in the end, well....

wow....


I'll listen to Niki when She has somebody who will publish her....

Otherwise, her links and posts to them are BS.....

Nobody realizes it now, but someday they will.....

Niki is the polar opposite to Pirate News....

Hell... lol.... it's not even political like PN....

The ONLY THING that NIKI has going for her now is that she doesn't have anti-semetic ravings in her posts like PN.



I'm quite confident that I'm not the only one who has seen this, and more will come to quite soon.

I usually try to post what I feel are the pertinent parts of whatever issue I'm presenting, tho' sometimes the whole article is to me important enough not to just put up selective sections of if. Often if a converation does get going, I respond with a long, rambling post OF my own words, too, which he seems not to have noticed. We each have our own styles, and nobody has to read ANYTHING we post. Getting all head up about it and tossing around personal insults is merely a reflection of the person hurling them, given they can simply ignore anything they don't like, as I usually ignore PN and Six.

In my opinion his posts are usually incomprehensible ramblings about himself and his own life and his attitudes toward women, but that's just my opinion; I get nothing from them so I have ignored them for the most part ever since he called me cunt. What you wrote DID make me read his previous post and the one after yours, which of course only illustrated what I said above. That my posts are important enough to him for him to vent about them indicates his dislike of me I think; heaven knows that's been the case with some others through the time I've been here. I don't hate him, I just don't respect him and he has nothing of value to say to me. So not reading his posts saves me time, and lets me avoid the personal insults and hatred he tosses at me, which might irritate me if I took them seriously.

Nonetheless, I'm grateful you get something out of the material I post; I search around for things of interest which I think might start a conversation, and of course my political bent is obvious. Some get attention and do start a conversation, which I join, others just go on down the line unnoticed, which is fine with me. I would just advise him that if he feels that strongly about me and my posts, he just not bother reading them. I have no intention of upsetting anyone here (well, except Raptor and others sometimes ;o) ), so given he feels so virulently about me, he'd be better off just ignoring me. I'm sure he's said unpleasant things about me in some of them; I don't know about it unless someone quotes him, which is also fine with me.

As to the topic of the thread - I tend to disapprove of copy'n'pasting other's work. If you want to share an article, post a summary of your own, or perhaps a key excerpt, and then provide a link to the original article for people to check out if they want the whole story.

Writers get paid for their work, and should get the site hits that reflect the readership. So, no, I dont read the paste jobs, regardless of content, as a matter of principal.

No Niki... My own admitted weaknesses are your only trump card!

Nobody knows you here like they do me now....

I know my faults, and I admit that indulge in them.....

I admit everything about me. Deep dark secrets that even my own family, save for one awesome brother, knows about...

I'm the most fucking for real person here or anywhere you've ever met, and I don't give a fucking fuck about hiding my fucking toilet fucking mouth about it.

Do you want to know really fucking Dark Niki?

Do you want to go down that fucking deep and dark fucking rabbit hole?

I don't think you fucking do...



Keep thinking that you looked GWB in the face and saw the devil and preach what you've seen...




In the mean time, I'm fucked up so you don't have to be....

I Implore you not to open Pandora's box....

You don't want to know all of the filth and sludge you'll have to endure to find hope, and if you're making near minimum wage to get there, the price is WAY above your pay grade....

Frem might still hate me for comments said before, but he doesn't hate you...


Seriously Niki....

Walk away from the RWED.....

For most of us, who would be powerless anyway, it's a box you're better left never opening.....
