Which dopers do you "know", and what do you know about them?

[Attack_from_the_3rd_dimension]

I’m glad that this hasn’t derailed and gone off to the pit.

Maiira - only one thread? All I know is that you’re forgetful.

Argent Towers - Always I think Ivory Tower, then wonder if a silver tower is better. Armor guy, fresh-ish out of college, used to have cute girlfriend with a gun, as I recall.

MeanOldLady:Smokin’ hot, pretty mean, not so old.

Freudian Slit: Brilliant name.

Diogenes the Cynic: Liberal. Sometimes to a fault.

Shodan: He regards us.

norinew: No Renew. And yet, she remains.

Malleus, Incus, Stapes! It all makes sense except for the exclamation point.
Skald the Rhymer: One of the favourites, but only seems to poll these days. Has he gone to another board for his other needs?

olivesmarch4th: Dopercrush.

Chez Guevara: Great name

Johnny L.A. - not in LA

Elendil’s Heir - Trek

SHAKES/Shakes - is less emphatic than usual, and has no friends.

ivan astikov - another name I like

** Twickster **- a favorite mod and poster.

** Covered_in_Bees** - a favorite, and apparently has a gender. But wait, which one?

** Giraffe **- Former mod and spinoff board creator, famously flirted with a teenybopper.

Cesario - One trick pony.

pseudotriton ruber ruber is apparently some sort of newt and biology geek

Really Not All That Bright - really is

BellRungBookShutCandleSnuffed - Aren’t these the tools used in exorcism? So she or he’s done been exorcised?

I almost forgot Shagnasty, who considered a career change, and is such a decent person.

Well, in the other thread I said I was probably quite recognizable (50+), because my name is long and therefore distinctive, and I post a lot, everywhere… but my name has only popped up two or three times in this thread, so I was starting to wonder.

Not that I’m a publicity whore or anything, of course. Really. I swear. I’m not.

And all this street cred goes away in an instant when I come up with your new screenname. Muwhahahaha!

Maybe you guys should organize a sabbatical tower exchange.

But they don’t let me leave.

I’m here right now… waiting for a student who is late!!! 5 more minutes and I am gone.

Still have her. She doesn’t actually have a gun. I once posted a picture where she was posing with one of mine.

That would be the picture. I presume this was during the gun phase to which you alluded previously.

Just be careful picking which exotic hobby to follow. Something like “tribal dance choreography” or “the history of gladiator movies” may not work that well.

(Please, God, let him understand that I really am just funning and not trying to pick a fight or anything.)

The real question is, how will I work tribal dance choreography into every thread? This could take some doing.

[Argent_Towers]

@monstro

Argent Towers-macho, thinks he’s a hard-ass

This one really has me confused. Do I really come off that way? When did I ever claim to be a hard-ass or act “macho”? I don’t think either of those things about myself.

[Ephemera]

It fits with my impression of you.

Try reading Hogg, it may have useful tips.

Maybe from when you were offering to pass out e-beatings when someone said your girlfriend was ugly?

[Argent_Towers]

@Aesiron

Well, I don’t know where you’d get that impression from. Anyway, saying someone “thinks he’s a hardass” is definitely a very insulting thing to say. I’m not sure why she decided to get so personal in this thread. It was going really well so far.

Anyway, I’d like to know what I’ve said that would make anyone think that I thought I was a hard-ass. And if it has anything to do with my interest in guns, someone who really thought he was a hard-ass would say something like, “I don’t need guns, if someone fucked with me, I’d beat the shit out of him.” The very use of guns implies a dependence on a technology instead of confidence in one’s own physical strength which, I would think, would be contrary to an attitude of macho puffery.

Ah, that. You’re never going to let that go, are you? You had to dredge up some ugly shit from a year ago to try to discredit me? One incident - I guess that makes me a real macho, arrogant, internet-fake-tough-guy forever. I’ve ruined my reputation for good! I should just go move into my mom’s basement!

[Attack_from_the_3rd_dimension]

Okay, gang, lets get back to the index cards now.

Try to discredit you? What on earth? You asked how someone might arrive at that opinion of you and I gave one example. Perhaps you should take a breath or two and then rejoin us.

That sounds like a threat.
