I'm running for New Mod!

[FourthBase]

Now it's

... More-Sensitive-Than-Thou. ...!

That's supposed to be the winning put down from you huh? You are such a manly man, man. You might as well have said Less-American-than-your gunghooey all-American self. I bet you'd have loved to have told that twelve year defeatist old girl to toughen up you jockstrap.

Americans, of the left and right, some, a great number, still have this bullshit militant get tough attitude going that's just ... whatever. Indoctrination. Go watch some pigball or something.

Yes, yes...so, you are saying that Jack was dealing with mentally-beleaguered 12-year-old girls, not grown men and women? Oh, no, you would prefer to just use her example as material for a laughably-misplaced message board Holier-and-Sensitiver-Than-Thou guilt trip. You don't plan on seeing the other side of that coin, i.e., that you are setting for yourself as a standard of emotional maturity and rhetorical nuance: An unstable 12-year-old girl. You want to be doing that? No, right?

p.s. Didn't he create this thread with tongue in cheek, as a gesture?

...

Yes, yes...so, you are saying that Jack was dealing with mentally-beleaguered 12-year-old girls, not grown men and women? ...

Paul, where did I say that? Point me to it. Go on.

...

Yes, yes...so, you are saying that Jack was dealing with mentally-beleaguered 12-year-old girls, not grown men and women? ...

No, Paul, that's what you've been saying to prove your manliness. Do you read what you write?

...

You don't plan on seeing the other side of that coin, i.e., that you are setting for yourself as a standard of emotional maturity and rhetorical nuance: An unstable 12-year-old girl. You want to be doing that? No, right?...

I am not setting any standard for anyone, Paul. You are setting that up to knock it down and win an argument you're having with yourself. As I said. I find it offensive. You don't. I don't think it makes a difference whether the person you repeatedly ask to kill themselves is twelve or not. You do. You're saying there are circumstances where it's OK to tell people to go kill themselves, I'm saying there aren't. You're saying it's done by loads of people all over the place so it's natural or normal or a valid expression of Anglo-American culture that is in need of protection, I'm saying it's shit.

We differ. Can you settle with that or are you going to go on?

A correction is necessary.

it wasn't just one time and it wasn't to just one person...

Untrue. It was twice, but definitely only to one person. So far. Let's see if other suitable advisees appear. I'm not planning to make a habit of it, but sometimes you just gotta say, kill yourself!

Also, since it landed on the last page and should not be missed, being the point of this thread after all, and since I loooooooovvvve quoting myself, let's bring this back to front and center -- or rather, last and bottom, given that this a message board and that's how they work...

.

Good news everyone, my exploratory committee has prepared the platform.

Stump speech:

"My friends, this board is in need of a killing spree, and I'm the man to do it. All decisions will be final. Cthulhu bless us, every one! Now let the blood and wine flow, mofos!"

Approved Main Slogan:
More Mao, less Savaranola.

What, you think there are other options? You may be in the way of historical imperative. Don't make me say off with your head, sorry. With regrets, but you can't make an omelette, etc.

Now according to R.I.§701(b)ii, a candidate is barred from committing to appointments ahead of the election. I checked with the party lawyers, who are all experienced gay Jew ambulance chasers and only in it for the money, so you know you can trust their advice. They have assured me I can say this much: barracuda is my adviser on matters of permanent war and defense. compared2what? has been helping to prepare a plan for seamless domestic security. And bks will be guiding the crew in setting a reliable ideological line. I've been in touch with simulist on matters of Scientific Orthodoxy, what a blast from the past that's been. We're also looking to poach some outside talent from ATS, and we can probably borrow a few enforcement thugs from DU for the initial purges.

Within the first hundred days, I pledge to issue two dozen licenses for unlimited thread proliferation as patronage items to my best buds, and to establish a Ministry of Woo Control ("Mini-Woo").

Also, we need entitlement reform. The demographics are indisputable. It's science.

Slogan #2--still in focus group, but here's a preview:
Riddler 2014. You don't want him. You know you need him.

Also, VK?



Or maybe you prefer this one?



Though this is the one I'd like to meet:

She can be my Secretary of State!

Nah, lol, since you got nothin', I'm all set with stopping.

well I was one also so there's two ..that I know of at this point





it is never ok to tell someone to kill themselves

cause my sister did and my brother in law told her to ....so there's that...and you a fuckin jerk to make light of someone's death...a real jerk

[JackRiddler]

well I was one also so there's two ..that I know of at this point

Oh nonsense, apologies for the misunderstanding. So sorry. Read that again. I did not tell you to kill yourself. You said that I, Riddler, am the only one allowed to tell people to kill themselves. Or at least, that is how I understood it. And so I said (or in any case meant) that I don't think I am the only one so allowed, so why don't you also give it a try (meaning: "why don't you, SLAD, tell someone to kill themselves") and see if you are not also allowed to do so. Because I figure you are. Allowed to say that. See?

Now how would you like to be my adviser on Maritime Law?

[seemslikeadream]

I would never tell someone to kill themselves ...it is a disgusting mean juvenile bastardly unkind crappy hateful thing to do ...and if a family member of yours killed themselves maybe you'd be a bit more sensitive

[JackRiddler]

Damn. I've lost Minnesota. But the polls tell me Texas is going to make up for that, and a lot more besides.

[seemslikeadream]

I hope no one in your family ever commits suicide I wouldn't want anyone to go through that experience..you can make fun of it all you want...it's not funny and it's painfully difficult to deal with

[solace]

Damn. I've lost Minnesota. But the polls tell me Texas is going to make up for that, and a lot more besides.

Interviewer #1: I hear you plan to announce that you eat babies. Any truth to that?

[justdrew]

i know you "didn't really mean it" but it's still foolish verbiage to be throwing around jack. More jack, less riddler. I knew Gorshin and you're no Gorshin. (not really, maybe you are, whatdaIknow)

do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Make nice people

I would say you might want to apologize on principle to anyone offended (we say offended, but sometimes we really mean, hurt)

[JackRiddler]

Oh, all right Drew. You got me. I hereby pledge never again to tell slimmouse to kill itself, certainly not in any post by me on this board. I also promise to do my best never again to be misunderstood by SLAD as meaning she should kill herself, even though I didn't say that; although the latter can hardly be guaranteed, since it depends on clarity of communication and reception. But I'll try to be clear.

Thanks, that did me good, I can feel my heart growing already.

Now, howzabout election time!

I promise you nothing but blood, sweat, toil and tears! Arbitrary terror, but on behalf of a higher good! You can have 90 percent of Romania, I'll take 90 percent of Greece. Everyone will lose weight, or gain it, achieve their ideal figure, and enter into a lasting relationship with a hotly desired partner. The sex will always be good. I will order raids on Facebook to shanghai some new female members, and end the deficit of eligible females in this colony. We will also raid Chinese social networks for cheap labor, enough to do manual spell checks. Full members will never need to hit "submit" themselves again, you will be able to order your posts from Ph.D.s in English from the universities of Shanghai and Sofia. By the end of my first term, every thread will be equipped with its own first-person shooter app.

Riddler 2014. All the Answers!

[justdrew]

one of these days I'm going to change the Submit button into the Commit button.

[JackRiddler]

Drew, I think you just made the short list for Minister of Information. Do it!

[seemslikeadream]

OK sounds reasonable but what about Nordic

and I am sorry you misunderstood that I thought you really wanted to be a mod
