Hey, it’s still me! I’m still that crusader for porn and liberal ideals! I remain unbowed, trust me!

Stoid is my nickname since high school. I believe I took the the “ela” form (which I use only occasionally, it is a variant, but the main name is simply Stoid) when I signed up ages and ages ago because it wouldn’t let me have a 5 letter name. Or maybe Stoid was taken. Or maybe I thought I would be more readily understood to be female. Whatever the reason, it has bugged me ever since.

I hope you don’t change your view of who I am. I’m still me! I swear!

Well, while lurking, I used to like that Coldfire guy.

But then he admitted to being a Communist. He also owned up to the fact that the moderators are tyrrannical. He said that that this board is not based on democratic principles, and if anybody doesn’t like it, they’re free to leave.

And get this: I’ve seen him move threads that were in the wrong forum.

I think he’s drunk with power.

But then. he lives in Amsterdamn. All that pot and loose women.

The poor guy.

You can help Coldfire out by donating money, Jack Daniels, and oral sex. Note that the latter only applies if you’re female. Coldfire is picky that way.

I used to like that **Clogmod** , too, but then I had a dream about him last night that changed all of that (this is a true story, btw, not the usual shit I just make up).

My whole dream was an ICQ conversation between the two of us, which is kind of freaky in itself. I couldn’t see either one of us, I was just reading the ICQ window on my computer. That put me in a bad mood right there.

Anyhoo, he was **insisting** that I bring my car to Amsterdam so we could drive everyone out to New Holland (is there such a place?). Okay, I done told the boy many a time that I was **never** driving my car to Amsterdam again. Damned if I’ll continue supporting the Dutch economy anymore by paying their fascist parking fees! Not to mention the parking tickets and towing fines they always find a way to slap on you. And we’ll not even go into their communistic speed limit. Ugh. If they need money so bad, why don’t they sell a few Rembrandts to the Japanese? Don’t go picking on us innocent Murriken tourists, we’re poor.

Well, he got quite snotty about it and I’m thinking this is my subconscious way of telling myself that **he** is trying to take all the power in this friendship. Yup, that’s exactly what it is. He is trying to **control** me and use me to fulfil his own sick agenda.

So, I shall not be speaking to our Dutch friend until and unless I recieve a dream IM apology. Or a dream e-card would work, too as long as it’s cute but not too sappy.

Sorry. I’m not buying that. Especially since I just read a different thread you started in the pit about some comments other posters directed at you.

I think you’re actually pissed off at a couple posters and wanted to vent, but you backed off of it at the last minute.

You’re hoping others will get the fight going so you can join in later.

Seriously, if this was a parody, what is it doing in the pit?

No, no, no. Under the rules of NAFTA, the U.S. Mint is being forced to relocate to Chihuahua.

Stoid,

Are you perchance related to the Noid? Is Bad Andy your love child?

Honestly, this is a poll inspired by the similar one in IMHO. I saw that and thought the reverse would be a lot more interesting. Since I am careful to keep threads where they are appropriate, and since answers to the question would probably lead to flaming if anyone did take it seriously, I put it in The Pit.

That’s the truth, if you don’t believe it I probably can’t convince you otherwise. As to my ‘wimping out’ with my response, after I wrote the title I sat and thought about it, and I realized that there are no posters here that I have any animosity towards, unlike other boards I have been at before. There are a few who annoy me, but even they tend to have redeeming features, and nobody has really said anything to or about me that pisses me off yet. I might find some enemies yet, but I’m not sure.

“New Holland” is now Australia.

Lately, I haven’t liked the whole board. I’m waiting to see if this just untimely crankiness or a permanent distaste.

No specific person, but I used to like reading the stuff at GD more. Now it feels like I’ve read it all before, so I don’t check it as much. Hope that answers your question.
