WTF?!

waits for Alex to reply explaining that he is somehow entitled to something.... and that asking for money to perform whatever service Alex is requesting makes it extortion.....

it.
thats what i'd call '' it''  
if you can't get off the fucking fence, don't expect the rest of ''us'' (normal males & females) to give you some sort of special dispensation.
and don't make us build you a special ,''tri-gendered-can't make-up-my-mind-got-a-cock-and-a-cunt bathroom, like you fucking people have already done.
pick a hole & stick with it

How remarkably sensitive of you, given that you were not born with the same physical ambiguity that rare others are!  FWIW, it's not necessarily a hermaphroditic issue.

Oops, sorry, I forgot not everyone feels as positively about words like "greed" and "extortion" as I do.  That was some Ferengi humor right there.  What I said was that I'm very glad that Ian had made a backup, and if he wants to charge money for it then he's totally entitled to do so.

[Harry Tuttle]

Now we can debate the following hypothetical scenario:

If someone who is friendly and polite (and maybe an amplifier) were to ask Ian kindly if he could get a copy of the backup, would Ian do it willingly? Maybe if such a person were planning to launch and host a freetalklivearchive.com site at his own expense Ian would think it was a cool idea.

In the alternate reality which I spend a part of my time, folks sometimes politely communicate and ask for things from others. This may sound odd in this world, but you have to believe me on this. I have experienced situations in which I, myself, have asked what we call a "favor" and have had it performed for me. I'll illustrate in the dramatization that follows.

     Jim: I just finished this great article in Sane Person Monthly about manners.
     Sue: I just love good manners. Do you mind if I borrow that magazine so that I might read it.
     Jim: Why certainly, Sue. Perhaps afterwards we can discuss it over tea.

I know that you all think I am mad for suggesting such a bizarre reality. In truth, sometimes I think I am just dreaming it all up. But admit it, there could possibly be a version of the universe in which people are civil and do not burst into narcissistic emotional tirades at every sign of misfortune.

i don't see you pissing on ''puke'', ken.
he's the 1st on this thread to coin the word, ''it''


btw...the reason i get my tits-in-a-twist, is exactly for the example i've given.
there've been cases where these types of individuals have sued various states & places of business, because they demand their own,'' special bathroom''.....at everyone elses expense.
fuck you.
pick a hole.
i wouldn't be rankled if they paid for their ''special'' bathroom out-of-pocket.

Sorry I assumed the "virtually unmoderated" part was factual. I assumed wrong I guess.

Do you see the difference between replying to a response and not replying to a comment someone made in the open?  Perhaps if I had focused more narrowly on it as I've focused on a reply to what I wrote, I may have.

Why are you people being so selectively retarded? "Virtually unmoderated" means moderation rarely happens, not NEVER happens.

If this forum wasn't moderated, you'd have 100 posts a day from spammers.
