Gaspar Wrote:Collected thoughts:I know, and my inquiries are not piggybacking this time. I just find the posting restrictions hilarious, and I wanted to help out. Communications have indeed been established now, and he seems to be able to contribute just fine. I actually don't agree with his reads much.
Catwalk, just for what its worth - Meiz's insights aren't suddenly more valuable than they were before just because he's post restricted. I get trying to help him out but some of the time spent on building the English to Martian dictionary for him probably could be better spent on other stuff. Meiz is a bright guy, he'll find a way to communicate with him.
novice Wrote:TT, you're amazing.He's convinced you're scum ("I think lynching novice is the way forward and it would need a lot to change my mind."), so proving you innocent would enlighten him I guess. I agree it's bizarre, but I can't figure out if it's genuinely bizarre or a wolf ploy to obvious enough to go under the radar.
The bolded point seems particularly bizarre to me. Everyone's already assuming I'm innocent, and forming their conceptions around that assumption. So how would confirming my innocence enlighten us?
Mattimeo, as mentioned above I really like the posting restrictions. I made a post earlier comparing novice with a 5 year old wielding a glue stick and a pair of scissors, and now Gaspar has put a mental image in my head of an alien Meiz with antenna on his head and a Martian to English dictionary which only contains 3 words. If I was scum, would there be any benefit to drawing attention to myself? I'm not scum, so I generally don't pay too much attention to when I'm saying something everybody thinks sounds scummy. If I ever start appearing calculated and smooth you should probably hang me
uberfish, I'm neither abandoning novice nor allying with you. I do intend to think a bit more for myself today though, and your theory aligns well with the one I put forth earlier. So no worries, your back is safe.
Meiz, roger that!
