Title: The last word.. RIP O'Club
Post by: Hangtime on October 06, 2008, 08:57:10 PM
Had a blast in here.. over a decade between this O'Club and the old forums. For those I had fun learning from, sharing with and debating with the great questions of our time..

Thanks. And thanks to the HTC folks that have over the years borne the piteous howls of the whiners that found offense in spirited discourse.

*sigh*

It was real.. it wuz fun, a lot of the time; real funny.  <S!> all!

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. --RAH


Enjoy your brave new world.

A long, long time ago
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died

These threads are almost as good as the ones where people announce they are leaving the game and expect the world to stop accordingly.

Actually, most of the time when people announce they are leaving the game they are doing nothing more than saying goodbye and tossing in a bit of reminiscing as well. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

There are those. 

But you know you've seen the "I'm leaving because blah blah blah, won't you all miss me?" two or three times for each "goodbye,  :salute" types right?

Actually, you have it backwards. I've seen far more of the *goodbye I had fun* types than any other goodbye type of posts.

I figured server problems, saw some guy post "CV writing" like 4 times in general discussion.  Now I notice my comment is devoid of its context.

Go away to a trade show and look what happens. Too bad. Can't blame HTC from a business standpoint. I pretty much set the same rules on day one at the forum on the new work web site. Business sites and forums should be about the product, you should have limited extracurricular discussions and vanilla is an appropriate flavor for a business community.

But, too bad.

Quite the unique place full of unique people. Could have some extraordinary discussions here. Not stamping my feet or anything, but I already get too much vanilla as part of daily life. Aircraft and Vehicles still holds plenty of appeal, though oddly that has been the scene of some of the most vicious flames.

 :lol

I was thinking about that while I was working today.
I think if we looked into it farther.
We might find it mysteriously also coincided with major elections.

Personally I think the timing is bad.
Had they waited until a couple of weeks after the election this might not have been needed.

Doing so now. Well. given the up comming elections. Elections that are among the most important many of us have faced in our lifetimes.
 And the current state of just about everything.
These are the subjects people want to talk about.

And more importantly.
These are the times it is most important that people talk about them.

politically correct = convincing you it's possible to pick up a turd from the clean end.

Hang but it is possible. Prof. of Criminal Law Mike S. Adams at UNC-Wilmington documents it all the time. Here is how it works.

You need a PC controled University to start with like the one bongo goes to. Next you need either a womens studies prof. or a single liberal student to complain or push the moderators button on unaccceptable(conservitive) speech by a concervitive student or prof. Next the person in question is brought before a council of PC inquisition and told to pick it up from the clean end and tell everyone how yummy it is or no graduation or tenure for you baby.

Thats how Liberal PC works on U.S. campus today.

Dr. Adams is making a mint off PC at UNC-Wilmington while being a tenured conservitive prof. He's a one man Flame War against PC. He also has a nation wide network of pro bono lawyers to nail PC campus Liberals who use PC to violate students and profs first amendmant rights. Conservitve speech is concidered hate speech by american Liberals. So they beleive it's not protected like thier "Good Speak". Sounds like bongos complaints about us Hang.....Here's his link. Great articles in the archive.

http://www.dradams.org/

Or F.I.R.E. Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. They are taking campus all over the country to court for their unconstitutional PC speech codes and nailing them to the walls. They have lawyers standing in line to take their cases. Seems not everyone loves PC like bongo does these days.

Here's the conservitve answer to the ACLU......

I don't get "last post" posts. Hell, just stop posting. Your close friends already have your email addy's, and its doubtful anyone will miss you (not YOU personally, Hang, but John Doe Poster)

When I quit posting at Bimmerfest, I asked the mod to remove 5 years of posts, and just left...I already had emails of close friends from there. No goodbye. Just quit. :)  Ironically, I had more posts on that site in 5 years than I have had here in 8 years.  :eek:
