I feel like I've read your posts before.

We have registration on mod approval as an anti spambot measure..
I know you're a long term poster over many of the flame forums..
Perhaps you might volunteer some information about yourself for those of us who don't have a long history with the flame community.

I haven't considered myself a "Flamer" or anything I've posted as actual "Flaming" in decades. I'm just a dude posting on forums where I generally see at least a couple of familiar faces; faces who coincidentally may have become familiar on a previous "Flame" forum.
I ran a board at ootikof.net for some years until there were only about 4 of us left and the other three only wanted to throw C&P'd political articles and memes at each other. At that point I decided it had been a good run but it was time to close up shop.
I don't often engage in political discussions on forums because hyper-partisanship has gotten completely ridiculous. One side either blames literally everything on republicans/conservatives (despite all the evidence that democrats are equally culpable) or has some form of Trump Derangement Syndrome and abandoned all reason in 2016. The other side blames literally everything on democrats/liberals and in some cases even call for the murder of "lefties" just for having an alternative worldview.
There's no room in that insanity for any real discussion much less debate which is just as well because such would be utterly pointless... both sides would only be talking *at* each other, not *with*.
These days I prefer to simply trade posts with people who amuse, entertain, interest or inspire me. I'm not here to 'accomplish' anything or to flog any sort of agenda; I'm here to have a little fun with other cunning linguists.
That's it, really- what you see is what you get.

I couldn't agree more with you Gerraty about American partisanship..
I'm interested in issues that affect families like mine, but I won't engage in hyper partisanship.

There is a lots of politics and of the partisan variety here too. But, most of the people here will back off before it reaches the point of no return. One exception was when mandates dominated the news. We had a vicious pro and anti split here. That is behind us now, so hopefully we never let things get that far again.

I'm much happier now.
As for the "looking good" part... I was a lot younger then.

Barely.
Yes, after a couple years part-time as a security guard I became a criminal justice academy graduate sworn via a municipal agency (City of Roanoke) but paid by the state of Virginia.
I worked in a small department at a community college, almost exclusively 2nd or 3rd shifts which suited me fine; I've always been a bit of a night owl.
I was even certified as a general instructor at the academy but after certification didn't get tasked there... I think they hated the fact that I was an atheist.
Working at a municipal agency never had appeal for me.
If not for the college gig I would have been doing something else.
Hey Vitty. Nice to see another reformed flamist in the area.

Is vitriol ever going to do Fractals again? I know he had a lot of fans at Murdy's Mud pit, he even had his own Fractal lab sub forum at Murdy's.
Remember when Vitriol mentioned he was working with Blender to create some balls that were shiny but not sweating shining, but shiny like a cue ball reflecting neon lights shiny?
Does Vitriol have some shiny balls he would like to share with the group?

If you view my web site with a desktop/laptop (or large-screen tablet I suppose) just click on the "Artz" button and there's plenty of fractals.

I absolutely lurve watching people choke on their own feet and nobody does it quite like you.

carry on!~

That's a cumbersome amount of words just to say "Oops, nevermind" but okay I guess.
If you change your mind I'd love to hear your 'theory', I really would.
The tale of how someone's alt convinced you that the actual person was an imposter should be loads of fun to read.
I am after all a big fan of absurdity.
