Undersize Visigoth
I have been breaking heads lately. It' s been wonderful. AOL likes to open these message boards to discuss current news, and I always find people to beat up on those boards. The number of mindlessly vituperative semi-literate cretins who actually think they can find something worthwhile to say is heartwarming; I feel like I'm playing "Whackamole".
I love slapping the stoners around as well; they're a hoot! "Dude, war is bad. No fighting for oil. Peace is good." DUHHHHHHHH...I love 'em. Really. I WAS one for years.
I've also been fighting in some of the Vagabond Wandering Chats on AOL. These are people who have been dispossessed from their home message board, usually through AOL's arbitrary and unfairly enforced TOS program. Small, tight-knit groups of them stay in contact via email. I call my home group the SPAMGroup. I didn't invent it, someone else in the group did. But it works. We've got about 8-10 members, and 30-40 "drop-ins", plus overlap from other groups one or more of us has met.
I was establishing a home for my group by purchasing a .com, and putting a message board on it. Unfortunately, it was sabotaged, and totally destroyed. I'm having it rebuilt and firewalled. Then, we'll be so insular and inbred, we'll be the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" after a while.
It'll be great.
Or Magenta, because she's delightfully perverse.
Or both. Yeah, I'll be both. Yeah.
