<insert name>, you ignorant slut! Mark Unseen   Jul 24 03:51 UTC 2003

Someone just said something so completely off-base that
you really need to give them an SNL-style comeuppance?

Post it here.

Sapna you ignorant slut,

Had you bothered to check, you would have noticed that I was not
continuing with my normal Grex activities.  I had not appeared
in party.  I had not emptied my mailbox (which I normally do
every time I log in).

I had not even posted elsewhere than in the system problems item.
When the modems came back up, I posted responses to things going
back to Friday.

To someone possessing a modicum of perceptivity this might indicate
that I had to go way out of my way just to post to item 4; in other
words, SOMETHING WAS WRONG!  However, since this elite group obviously
does not count you as a member, I'll let it go.

Russ you perfect example of why IT jobs are being outsourced to India.
All of the things you say you didn't do, you could have done over telnet
which renders your whole flame and the justification for this item "".

The really amusing thing about this argument is that when you dial in,
you *are* telnetting to Grex.  It's just that you're doing it through
another layer of indirection.

>You got on, didn't you?  That was the main thrust of Sapna's post.

Dan you ignorant slut,

You of all people should know the difference between being able to
put in a trouble report and being able to participate actively.
If you don't I suggest that you have your BBS read to you over a
noisy cell phone, and dictate your responses back.  Enlightenment
is certain to follow.

Brian you ignorant slut,

It probably never occurred to you that I would have done all those
things, had I not encountered "telnet.exe:  not found" when I tried
to open "telnet://cyberspace.org".  (Shitty deal for $12/hour, I'll
never use those bastards again... of course they don't offer Linux.)
Without telnet, no mail; I'm sure you can figure out why, if you
spend a little time thinking between 12-ounce progressive curls.

I have a supervisor that does a few superuser office duties and shovels
the rest on me.  During a meeting in which he tells me that he's out of
the business by December, he says "Oh, and I might need to use you as
a reference..."

My retort was "Well, if you think what I might say will be positive...",
very tongue in cheek but what I wanted to say was ...

<insert SNL phrase here>

He's been my strongest supporter in the corporate politics that WILL
dismantle our office within the next year, so I hate it when I'm expected
to lie.  Those who know me know that I'm more than willing to tell it
like I see it, right or wrong.

russ, you ignorant slut. Maybe you should install a telnet client. And if
you'd bothered to really read my post, you'd see that what realy riled me was
your posts about staff. I don't know anyone personally on staff, except maybe
Dan now, but I do know enough to understand that they're not here to serve
you. And another ignorant slutty remark you made was about the DSL users. Now
that was a really informed remark :/

(And if you don't have telnet, how did you get on to post in the systems
problem item?>

Re #14: Backtalk?

I'm curious where he rents computer time for $12/hour.  The idea of a
place that has dial-out modems but no telnet client is pretty weird.

I'm beginning to find this item really entertaining. Grex at it's most
venomous. And it still doesn't beat Mnet. Sad.

response 19 of 107: Mark Unseen   Jul 25 13:55 UTC 2003

Are you kidding?  We're talking about *finicky technical details* 
here!  It's a religious thing.  I have no more idea than anyone else 
what Russ is doing or why he can't telnet like everyone else, but my 
blood is already starting to boil.

Russ has said he's paying $12/hour to gain access in some way that 
requires him to use a modem.  Obviously he must have a pretty good 
reason for doing so -- though the mind boggles at just what that reason 
could possibly be.

Maybe it's security related.  That would be obscure, and is 
unchallengeable.  (You cannot question any computer man about 
security.  You cannot, for example, find out why passwords expire on 
Grex.  Let alone finding out why Grex doesn't use a standard password 
encryption algorithm.)

Whatever it is, Russ is willing to die to defend it.  Others will just 
as fervently attack it.  This might never end, and there's no limit to 
how far it could escalate.  Guns... nuclear weapons... a planet 
buster... geeks, such as russ, myself, and many others on Grex, have 
*no limits* when it comes to escalation for defending a pet idea.

Really.

I've seen it happen.
