Interesting you can get away with saying that and I'm faced with deportation for earlier comments. It must be the post count, or towing the party line, or utter lack of familiarity with important philosophical literature:
“We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors. We don't know what to do with other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is.”
― Stanisław Lem, Solaris

He could be a byproduct of all of us, he is the one.

By "deportation" I meant your earlier threat to ban me or the strange comment "Or just continue protesting until you end up at a place where they still haven't managed to ban you. " made above by mjmacky when his earlier comment seemed supportive.

They're called jokes.

No one said they have to actually be funny to qualify.

It was my review about this place, I've been disabled before but not yet banned. Nothing insidious on my part, it's just that not everyone thinks highly of my willingness to speak freely. I've gotten banned for speaking my mind elsewhere plenty of times.

Funny, "deportation" would get mentioned... I had not tried The Lounge until Idol moved one of my threads here, and I've basically been trapped ever since. You get used to it after a while. You learn how to fashion suitable shelter from the remains of bombed out buildings, and insulate your boots with old newspapers. After time goes by and you get hungry enough, the vermin passing through become sustenance. Eventually, you forget why you came and ultimately begin muttering strange sentences that are only understood by those who live here...

I used to have real power but I found impotence to be a lot less work.

I've got the ruby slippers, but I'm just far too lazy to go see the Wizard to get me out of Wunderland. :idunno:

Just put on the ruby slippers, go downtown and stand under a streetlamp. Plenty of strange men will want to show you their wizard. :yup:

Okay, cool. Thx for 'splainin' ;)

UNRELATED, but since I have the floor and am lazy :
I'm trying to PM mods manker and anon. Why can't I do this? I realize I'm new and PM may be a post-count-based privelege, but I've never seen this being applied to Mods... even Bolt allows Noobs to PM a Mod, regardless of post count. If mods manker and anon can PM me, please do so. Thx!

RELATED:
Earlier I noted Bolt wiped out all traces of my account -- THANKSes, posts, threads (stared by me, and replied to by others) ... all gone. Well mostly, but you can't hide from Google cache. So, for the record, you can check Google cached versions of my now-gone Bolt.cd forum content.
I am (was!!) "hollow-man" so in Google search box use
site:bolt.cd hollow-man
Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

The Examples are, as noted earlier, deleted from Bolt.cd as political move. I don't think there was anything offensive in those posts. Of course, my word against their's (specifically: against that of certain Bolt mods).
NOTE: Google will eventually clear this cache so if you're curious, please use info above to confirm/deny my claims soon (since last week, the # of cached pages of "hollow-man" has fallen by 2/3). Confirm/deny or comment as neccessary. I have screen-captured and saved HTML version of all Google caches ... of course, and the upcoming, topical blog will be here: boltcd.blog.com

=========

Refs below are some orig threads I, user "hollow-man", stared on Bolt. The URLs below will go no-where as Bolt.cd deleted them:

You have to wait for fifteen days before you can PM. Or is it a month, idk.

Anyway. it's better you PM anon rather than me because

Gotcha ... in the meantime, can anon contact me privately? I did allow admin to contact me via email from My Settings. Thx!

Neither of us are admin :(

We'd have to use our private email address for that and, altho' I can't speak for anon, typically I only use that to hit on unsuspecting female members.
You could always make a report in the report section if you absolutely need to talk to us right away.

I have no problem with giving out my email addy. If Admin wants to juggle communications between anon and I, that's okay.
Not a life or death issue, tho!
BTW: it must be a month to PM. I've been here more than 15 days.

12th of June you joined up, matey.
I'm pretty sure it's 15 days before you can PM, btw.

Honestly, just make a report if you need to talk privately about an issue. It'll just be you and the mod team who can see it.

Get a room, or do something else.

And possibly Dave, hiding out in a wardrobe at one of the mods houses.

ikr. It's like a 4 year old going, "I've got to tell you something. I've got to tell you something. I've got to tell you something."

Parent, "What."

4 year old: "Nothing."

They not only banned me, they deleted everything associated with my account -- posts and all ... I was a big-time Thanks-er -- all lost (other's lost my Thanks notices) because a few Bolt mods are super-touchy and like to "micro-moderate" and play Ubermench ad libitum.

Oh, god. Not the thankses. All those clicks for nothing. I don't see how the internets can survive it, tbh.


I blame society.
