Pushing buttons? Do you always search for nefarious intent everywhere you read? A paranoid Miss Cleo wannabe?

There’s a new thread with potential. Look in CS for one about porn stars.

Someone is trolling, but I’m not sure if it’s the OP, his friend, or the porn star.

Seems to have major problems constructing sentences, and has apparently never been introduced to punctuation. I guess literacy isn’t high on the list of attributes that porn stars look for in their dates.

It was looking more like a 12-year old posting a fantasy. I was sort of surprised the porn star didn’t live in Canada.

I posted what I felt was a relevant and helpful tip and was called a jerk. Some people.

My favorite response so far is from Acey:

> I’ve heard most public figures have secret social media and email accounts. Hillary Clinton is an obvious example.

Uh, what? Of all the public figures with “secret social media and email accounts,” Hillary is the obvious example for him? Is he somehow conflating her infamous private server with a fake porn star blog? Is a private account the same as a secret account? So many questions.

I think that our literacy-challenged [and possibly 12-year-old, and probably imaginary] porn-star lover boy may be flaming out.

The photos are simple black-and-white images of each individual standing upright from front, back and side perspectives. Harvard previously had its own such program from This ...

I’d be curious to know the end date(s). I attended one of those institutions in the 1970s and never heard this program mentioned.

> I was asking other posters. That was not a modnote. Not highlighted as mod instruction at all. Just a request and I wasn’t addressing you. Which should have been pretty obvious. ⁢

Eh, that’s not entirely clear. The way you wrote it reads more like an instruction than a request, and that bolded part looks like the way mods sometimes indicate they are giving an official instruction. Something a bit more casual would be more clear. E.g. “It’d be nice if you guys would take this to octopus’s own thread.”

I didn’t say anything before because I didn’t think it mattered. I honestly thought it was a good mod instruction, if it was one.

Fair enough. But if it is official mod business I usually make it obvious with “modding” or “modnote” and/or the staff color.
