This report proves how stupid this is.

I hoped that was the report I was thinking of. I was not disappointed.

This thread makes P&C look like so much fun.

You're a horrible person, Lou.

I DIED 40 YEARS AGO ON THIS DAY. BOW IN MOURNING. AND SHAME. MOSTLY IN SHAME.

That's why muraii didn't include any punctuation. It's not, "As long as this remain an activist space, I'm in". He's wishing for this to remain an activist space that he's in. As all spaces are activist spaces, any space he is in is an activist space that he's in.

Spaces after commas are activist spaces too

You are gold, Norman. I will be so sad when you finally get banned.

If we ever do get around to a new P&C Bingo card, I propose that the center square read: "Every free space is an activist space."

Is activist space the final frontier?

Are you sure it's a desire? On second read, I thought it might be a declaration of intent over time. There is an unspecified thing that they will do for as long as this remains an activist space in which they are present. Perhaps it's an existential thought, that this space has some properties that only exist so long as they are here?

Does muraii fit the definition of an activist? Let's check:

Dictionary.com wrote:

noun
1.
an especially active, vigorous advocate of a cause, especially a political cause.
adjective
2. of or relating to activism or activists: an activist organization for environmental concern.
3. advocating or opposing a cause or issue vigorously, especially a political cause: Activist opponents of the president picketed the White House.

Well done.

I think I'll confound my critics by devoting this letter not to describing froward madmen in general but Gamers With Jobs in particular. In the text that follows, I won't bother discussing the flaws in Gamers With Jobs's logic because it unquestionably doesn't use any logic. Gamers With Jobs proclaims that the eradication of its detractors would restore mankind's golden age and save humanity from ruination. Go home, Gamers With Jobs; you're drunk. Any sober person would realize that Gamers With Jobs has been spamming the Internet with contemptible junk e-mail. To behave like this, it has had to abandon every ethical principle that governs responsible organizational activity. Perhaps such ruthlessness comes easily to it given that it has been teaching the next generation how to hate—and whom to hate. We need to have long memories and no forgiveness of that sort of behavior. Instead, we must lay the groundwork for an upcoming attempt to fight for economic, social, and cultural justice.

I have a New Year's resolution for Gamers With Jobs: It should pick up a book before it jumps to the mad conclusion that it is the ultimate authority on what's right and what's wrong. If Gamers With Jobs had even a shred of intellectual integrity, it'd admit that I'm sure it wouldn't want me to eavesdrop on its secret meetings. So why does Gamers With Jobs want to crush national and spiritual values out of existence and substitute the headstrong and cacodemonic machinery of warlordism? I don't pretend to know the answer, but I do know that it claims to have data supporting its assertion that it is a champion of liberty and individual expression. Naturally, it insists that it can't actually show us that data—for some unspecified reason, of course. My guess is that it's hiding something. Maybe it's hiding the fact that a few years ago, it made a name for itself by publicly and blatantly placing our freedoms under more sustained and subtle attack than at any time in recorded history. Since then, its name has been synonymous with tactless, conscienceless isolationism. What you might not know, however, is that I, not being one of the many self-serving social outcasts of this world, have grown tired of watching the repeated handshakes and toothy smiles in front of television cameras and subsequently learning that nothing has truly changed. As always, despite Gamers With Jobs's self-image as the primary civilizing force of modern times, I'd like to remind you of something. One of the great leaders of our time recently made this statement: “Gamers With Jobs is a loose cannon.” I confess to similar sentiments, but there's always the chance that Gamers With Jobs professes that it's okay for it to indulge its every whim and lust without regard for anyone else or for society as a whole. What planet is it from? The planet Flighty? This isn't such an easy question to answer, but let me take a stab at it: Gamers With Jobs frequently accuses its critics of reaping a whirlwind of destroyed marriages, damaged children, and, quite possibly, a globe-wide expression of incurable sexually transmitted diseases. This is yet another example of the growing lack of civility in our civil discourse that ranges from the overweening to the contemptuous and even polyloquent. In a more proper debate, one would instead politely point out that it's certainly astounding that Gamers With Jobs has somehow found a way to work the words “deanthropomorphization” and “succinylsulphathiazole” into its hatchet jobs. However, you may find it even more astounding that it has been deluding people into believing that profits come before people. Don't let it delude you, too.

Even if scientific evidence established that everything Gamers With Jobs says is thoroughly and totally true, it would still be the case that it and its eulogists pay little or no attention to the negative impact that larrikinism will have on our daily lives. We can therefore conclude that the implications of this are obvious. To spell it out, though, if today we don't treat the disease, not the symptoms, then tomorrow we'll have to put up with Gamers With Jobs worsening an already unstable situation.

Now there will, no doubt, be abysmal extortionists out there who will ask, “So what if Gamers With Jobs's compatriots in ruffianism plunge us into the vortex of onanism? That won't affect me.” Such crippled thinking is the best example there is as to why by brainwashing its worshippers with obstructionism, Gamers With Jobs makes them easy to lead, easy to program, and easy to enslave. Gamers With Jobs doesn't want us to preserve the peace. It wants us to behave like sheep, not showing any inclination to saunter off in a direction other than that in which the shepherd (Gamers With Jobs) wants us to go. Gamers With Jobs intends to keep us sheep blissfully ignorant of the fact that after hearing about its sticky-fingered attempts to help reprehensible, condescending fugitives evade capture by the authorities, I was saddened. I was saddened that it has lowered itself to this level.

While Gamers With Jobs puts on a good dog-and-pony show, if it is victorious in its quest to make totalism socially acceptable, then its crown will be the funeral wreath of humanity. There is one crucial fact that we must not overlook if we are to perceive our current situation as it is, rather than in the anamorphosis of some “ideology” such as propagandism or imperialism. Specifically, difficult times lie ahead. Fortunately, we have the capacity to circumvent much of the impending misery by working together to call for a return to the values that made this country great. My number one priority is to take steps toward creating an inclusive society free of attitudinal barriers. That's probably obvious to a blind man on a galloping horse. Nevertheless, I suspect that few people reading this letter are aware that Gamers With Jobs's namby-pamby game of chess—the blockish chess of sexism—has continued for far too long. It's time to checkmate this perverted, closed-minded slangwhanger and show it that over time, its flimflams have progressed from being merely querimonious to being superquerimonious, hyperquerimonious, and recently ultraquerimonious. In fact, I'd say that now they're even megaquerimonious. It is up to each of us to call your attention to the problem of imprudent knaves. There; my ranting is finished.

What, I'm expected to read every wall o'text that people put up? The very idea! Maybe if everyone adopted the clear and simple minimalism of my posts, P&C would fix itself. Harumph.

In before lock!

Go home, Lou; you're drunk.

Probably the one and only post I will ever make in this subforum, and it's a meta doozie:

Will this overhaul include P&C being hidden in the recent activity feed for the non-P&Cers? You're talking about locking all the threads, that means I'm gonna get like 80+ new threads I have to re-block in my recent feed when lockdown happens.
