A fun little forum competition

Posted 11-18-2008 at 12:36 AM by Nate
The following is a direct quote taken from a thread in Employee Lounge. The only thing changed is ***** for the person's name.

:
What is the point of ***** in general? What would be missed if (s)he were to be quietly and unethically banned?
Posrep to whoever guesses correctly who I am talking about.



Employees may not comment, except perhaps to muddy the waters.

I like how you let it be known that it was you who said it.

Whoops... sorry. I thought I did mention that. Yes, it was me that said that. And as a bonus hint: yes, I did actually write '(s)he' in the thread.

It's a person of either unspecified, confused or Nate-can't-be-arsed-to-check gender, the fact their banning is being discussed in EL implies it is not of the third category, yet the tone contradicts that.

The date of this quote isn't stated, meaning he could easily be refering to Sydney, however that, I believe was long before Nate became a member of the mod team.

You may be refering to either Zozo or one of the Great Unwashed, I'll think more on it and get back to you.

Another clue please?

EDIT: I forgot to say 'or Mavark', but Laser got to it before I could edit it.

Me? Marvak?

Does the name have the exact amount of letters as asterixed?

I think the date would be relevant...

I'd have to ask if the number of asterisks aligns with the number of letters in the members name?

No, it matches the size of their penis.

I'd be interested in knowing if the person who it is has replied to the blog yet.

Also, it sounds nasty at face value but I guess we won't know how valid/accurate it is until the identity is deciphered.

5 asterisks is a convenient number to type. I did not count the number of letters in the name.

It doesn't count, even if you get it right, if you list half the members and some religions' prophet at once.

Yeah, like I was actually going to confirm it when someone guessed correctly. I just wanted to cause arguments.



I was reading some of the old gays vs religion threads from 2005ish the other day and wanted some of that excitement back in the forums.

What a hilarious way of writing a word with a long s. By not using a long s. Use a long s.

Yes, I fear your input. But only because I will likely agree with it.

We appear to have weeded out all the members who both possess an illogical world-view and are able to express it.

It is an active member, and this blog must have been posted mere seconds after the post it quotes.

Uhhh... I don't think you actually read my comment. I was not talking about this blog and it's silly little competition. I was talking about the probability of entertaining argument on a controvertial issue.
EDIT: Or perhaps you were responding Laser's comment and hadn't read mine at all.

Another thought: now that pretty much all of the forum gays are out of the digital closet, everyone is going to be much too afraid to express an absurdly homophobic opinion. And those are the most fun kind.

Maybe we should put out a casting call for homophobic members.

I thought the Oddworld games were the casting call.
