Heh. Ian Flemming, actually: Goldfinger.
It’s a nice quote though.
Also see Marathon Man, the book.
People really need to quit Hannibal Lecter-ing other people’s post. Thinking they know the true inner workings of a Doper simply be dissecting their posts.
Seriously, I feel embarrassed for you guys.

That’s over the line on the language rules, Fenris. Dial it way back.
No warning issued.

Holy Shit! Outta nowhere…
The board has been poorer for your absence.
I love that meme.
Uh, what are you talking about? Your knee is jerking rather obscenely, here.
That seems to be his favorite thing: poking posters with sticks until they put his ass on ignore.
Ironic that someone named after a wolf is so full of bullshit.
Still angry that you were caught cheating Dopers out of their money so you can buy air conditioning for your bunnies without touching any of your accounts Skywatcher? I know you’re bitter because a bunch of people (including me) called you on it, but you gotta let go.
Hopefully you’re not trying to scam anyone any more and have turned a corner in your life. I’ll pray for you.
Oh, look who it is.
You know I don’t give a shit what you think, right?
It’s just weird for someone to hyper-focus on pornography whenever a specific culture is mentioned. It’s like going right for Linda Lovelace or Ron Jeremy whenever someone mentions Hollywood.
Bespeaks a certain kind of mind, to me.
Except for the fact that you keep stalking me across the board and obliquely mention the fact that you scammed Dopers so your bunnies could have air conditioning.
You’re obviously still upset and your conscience clearly still hurts you. If you’d pay those dopers back and give a real, honest apology, maybe you wouldn’t be so bitter all the time. You gotta let go.
Uh, yeah, uh, he’s not the one with the stalker vibe going on here, Fenris.
A) I didn’t bring up anime, MFM did.
B) I don’t know how a knee can jerk obscenely.
C) I kinda thought we were on the same side about Skald’s sado porn. No problem if we’re not.
Right, but you brought up hentai, that is, pornography.
Unless you… think all anime is hentai or something… but you’re not that dumb, right?
Well, for some people they can.
This seems absurd to me. Skald used to write far more on the boards and had to take a break because of his blindness. It wasn’t certain that he would even be back. I suppose if you are looking at it as a shtick and then any mention of it would be too much, but I don’t see him asking for special treatment for it.
Are there any defenders other the BigT? Can you show them to us? How is having BigT latch onto somehow exactly his fault? How is that creepy? Does he retreat into it? Where?
You raise a good point. Skald should not be held responsible for BigT’s white-knighting.
I think you’ll also find a lot of us on this board who genuinely like Skald.
Are you shitting me right now? Whether the subject is his alleged blindness or not, Skald’s defenders are everywhere. You don’t have to be vocal about something to defend it. His defenders are the ones eagerly lining up to take part in his theads, even when the thread includes shockingly gratuitous and out of place depictions of sexual assault. They’re the ones who ignore it when this is pointed out, and brush it off as trolling. They’re the ones who buy hook, line, and sinker that his female characters that he’s chosen to bring to life are real peoople, like his fake-o wife “Kim”, his fake-o ex girlfriend character, who in that thread also revealed “her” sock status by responding to a post directed at Skald (post 11 of that thread - crickets from the mods). Here’s another thread, one of a couple floating around out there where he and the ex-girlfriend character do some sort of bantering thing. Skald seems to get off on involving the board in his fantasies, or haven’t you noticed?
You hadn’t? Well, to your credit, neither have the mods. My post in his latest hypothetical, pointing out the nasty pattern these threads follow, is deemed a threadshit. Yet no one even quirks an eyebrow when Skald drops graphic descriptions of gang rape/abuse/incest porn in a thread that does not give any indication of the subject matter. Why? Because he writes so pretty? Because he’s a long time member? Because OMG, his seeking out female dopers off board to try out his sexual assault fantasies on was almost 10 years ago, and people change ok?? Why are you so willing to overlook these things? Dopers don’t let go of their fantasies easily, I realize, but exactly how much writing on the wall do some of you need?
So yeah. His defenders are all over the goddamn place. Open your eyes already, folks.
