I wonder what the world would be like if every expletive and emotional expression was taken seriously. I think most married couples don't make it a year without the first "death threat", usually over things like the wife messing up the car radio station presets. What I've lost, and could have lost, in September is beyond most people's comprehension...

I don't know, some people don't like rekindling old threads. I think it's a good idea, but I don't want to get in trouble again. Plus I gotta set up a better automated message archiving system before I start posing a lot...

Oh, c'mon... Hope it's not because of me...
I just sent a personal message to John Shaw, but I might as well make it public:

Can't we all just... get along? Please? Please?

Subject: It's complicated...
I'm not going to ever finish my dissertation where I go through all threads where we've interacted over the years to try to prove that I was right. I'm also not going to say that I was wrong where I wasn't. I'm just too emotionally burned out by what happened, and I want to try to learn to get along with people. Beneath many other layers of things that happened, I have a lot of respect for you, and I hope this respect will come to the surface soon again.

A lot of very bad things have happened in my life over the past few years, and my hopes for my direct involvement in the Free State Project were torn asunder... I, yet again, am trying to glue Humpty Dumpty together again, piece by piece, and a very important piece is me being able to reconcile with FTL and its forum community, which at one point was the only constant in my otherwise FUBAR'ed existence...
Can't we all just... get along? Please? Please?

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.....
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.

Unfortunately all search engines (including those that specialize in forums), Archive.org, etc totally dropped the ball...
The good news (and the reason why I'm still here) is that there does seem to be backup.
<<<Hasn't said a word to or about Libman in months yet still takes the blame. |
Then you're gonna love my FK forum hissy fit thread - I've even blamed you for things you only might have done.
Listen, after a few days of hysterics and then finding out there was a backup after all, I'm starting to feel a strong sense of reconciliation, regeneration, and predestination. It's a religious feeling, almost. I've vented all my hatred, I have none left. Something good is about to happen. Can't we all just get along?
He links to a thread about avoiding personal contact because its a waste of timeand money, and then goes on about all the time he spends on this forum...Am I the only one that sees the irony here?
Because I believe this intellectual process has value. OK, it's not as intellectual as it once was, but that's the reality of where I am right now... How many open source nervous breakdowns do you come across, especially onces as meticulously documented?

OK, I'm no longer suicidal. (See my brutally honest hissy fit thread at FK.) Turns out Ian is not a book-burning idiot, he's just greedy and wants to extort money from me. I can respect that, and I do admit that it was fucking stupid of me not to have made an external backup (though I had my excuses at the time). Yaay FTL!
