I have posted threads under the "sabre" persona I am posting as spectrum now because so many of you humorless bastards have filtered that username. I posted ABSURD shit...just to stir up controversy and get some exitement going. It seems that some people just don't get it. I posted shit like"other looks like a serial killer" "is scott still in the closet" "cross is a crossdresser" I wanted to see if they could take a joke. cross has a sense of humor...I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. he came back with some sterotypical cliches that I heard a thousand times..yet combined in that one post.. let's just say I laughed so hard I couldn't even think of a comeback. other laughed his ass off at my thread about him. scott handled it pretty well when I dissed him. Then that cocksucker turns th tables on ME! Exposed my other persona! He exposed the fact that I logon here all the time..so there wasn't any use in pretending I hated grex. My real mission is to gain an understanding of virtual socities. In the future we probally all be plugged into some cyber society. My research is akin to the prison study. The where they make some students prison guards and some prisoners. It exposed an interesting fact about power structures. Cyber-communities are a unique social development. They fascinate me. Humanity needs to gain a better understanding of them. They expose certain facets of human nature..just like the prison study did. remmers is someone who I think may understand where I'm coming from. He has played the troll to control boredom also. Who can make a judgement in this theater of the absurd?28 responses total.
Been here. Done this. Better. Much better.
Ah....I am only an egg ;)
You might look back a few Agoras for when twinkie & willard came over from MNet to "destroy Grex". Now those guys were TWITS, and a lot tougher to handle than sabre. But we got them, eventually.
How do I get to any other agora? Do I type "j winter" or something I want to read up on them. Despite showing my ass I have never done anything to hurt the system. I have to admit I like this old dinosaur. This sun 4/670mp was the bomb when I got I first got into computers.
"j agora20" to get Agora #20, etc. Four Agoras a year...
You may have amused yourself, but the few of your postings I actually read before filtering you completely were so relentlessly idiotic that I think the only thing you did besides entertain yourself was show the rest of us what an ass you are. You've just announced that you threw your shit all over a place I like to hang out in just see how people would react, and that it's ok because it's in the interest of research. Well, that's the kind of stupid bullshit only a worthless self-serving punk with too much time on his hands would do, and there is absolutely nothing redeeming about it. If you tried something like that in a real world situation you would very deservingly get the crap kicked out of you. And don't even try to legitimize it by comparing it to the social structure study you mentioned, because you obviously haven't the first clue what it was even about, much less how to carry out such a study in a scientific manner. You must be very pleased with yourself. Now be a good little shit and go clean up your room.
You never filtered me completely you lying sack of shit. As far as the study I mentioned you are an errant asshole when you assume I don't know anything about it. I DOUBT if YOU could kick the crap outta me. Fuck your sacred cow. You have your uses for grex and I have mine. This is a public access system dumbass. If this is the only life you have and it's the only place you hand out I pity you. I could care less what you think. So get the g-string outta your ass and lighten up you uptight son of a bitch. If you can't take a joke...read my lips. FUCK YOU. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I think your political agenda is fucking stupid. I think your position on certain social issues is idiotic. It's YOU that doesn't have the slightest clue about the extent of my knowledge..on any given subject. This place is a fucking sewer of ideas. The few turds I throw around hardly make a diffrence. Your shit stinks just as bad you self-righteous sack of sperm. If you feel so strongly about it then BAN me other. I'm not going to lay down and be your verbal whipping boy. How many accounts do YOU have here numbnuts? Don't play Polly fucking Purebread with me. relax...have a beer or a smoke and learn to take a joke. After all this isn't the "real world". Why do you think these kind of communities exist? Tell you what take a vote...staff and board only. If your view is the consensous then I will leave..never to return. With sincere apoligies. That wouldn't take a change in policy. One thing hold the vote in garage or coop. Anyone can vote but only the staff and board votes can count. If it goes against me I vow to leave and never return. Put up...or shut up.
Another one flunks Life 101. <filter>

Exactly...I would leave of my own accord. I wouldn't be bitter in the least. I would send a formal request to staff@cyberspace.org for both accounts to be deleted.
There is nothing so boring as when someone starts to "explain" themselves. I fall into that trap myself, when under attack. Now "sabre" has done it, and turned from a jerk into a bore. "Never complain, never explain" (attributed to Katharine Hepburn, Vincent Lasky, and others).
You've are always boring girly man
I think sabre should walk into a nearby Florida bar, pick out some specific patrons he's just met, and announce loudly they are crossdressers, or gay. He should do this loudly and repeatedly, until he gets the crap beaten out of him.
LOL
I vote for #13.
lol@krj You act as if this was comparable to real life. You MIGHT have a point if grex was a Ann Arbor bbs only. It isn't however. The whole world is free to post here.
Re thirteen: lol *with* krj. I think announcing said victims were both gay *and* crossdressed would be _much_ more effective though. or maybe he could try variations on all three...
See what I mean..even a little faggot from england can post here
Nah, sabre wouldn't do #13. It's much safer to hassle people on a mostly anonymous system like Grex, versus that big scary outside world where people can actually *touch* you.
Exactly. The sociological comparisons of cyberspace compared to society offline are precisely like that. A lot of people will do things in the former that they wouldn't dare do in the latter. Inhibitions seem to lessen, people may misrepresent themselves, etc. I have seen repeated examples of it. I'm inclined to agree with Eric here because the explanation in #0 sounds more like some experiment in amusement than any carefully thought out, scientifically backed experiment. It reeks of ethical misjudgment if it ever were to be considered a legitimate social study. Sorry-- I don't believe this was for real (legitimacy). But yanking the chain and battling other trollies had its occasional quirks.
Another twit exposes himself as someone with too much free time and not enough sense. Somehow this really doesn't surprise me.
Sabre in resp:16 :: Ah, the old "cyberspace isn't real life" ploy again. *shrug*. I had lunch with about 10 people from Grex and dinner with a few more. They all looked like people with real lives to me.
I have a real life? That's news to me. . . .
Well, it may not be a 'life,' but it is real. :)
Define real?
'Life' too while you are at it. anyway you all should not be insulting a .. err .. a researcher ..
Tian gao huang di uan. On the surface it is an excuse and justification for immoral behavior which is why the current regime in the middle kingdom hates it and somewhat discourages that school of philosophical thought. The meta message is that one is ultimately responsible for one's own character which is what that state truely fears.
