Well, that's just so damn misogynist, now, isn't it.
Check your grapefruit privilege.

no, i meant that it's still worth posting the guide thing. it doesn't make semantical sense otherwise?
Yeah, I get that. Maybe my statement was unclear. I meant that it may be condescending, but since it's informative, I don't feel that it's worth point out its condescending-ness.
personally i found it spectacularly condescending, but seeing as nobody else is reacting the same way it's likely still worth posting
I have a reputation for being condescending there. I must live up to it!!!
Besides, writing such a post would *require* a great deal of snobbishness on my part. I do not think I could have written it without pretending to be an external observer, and even claiming to be "above the system" as an external observer is condescending.
So, this was the only way to write the post, there was no other way (probably).
Still, I am glad you say it is worth posting. My thanks to everyone else who replied too.
Smiley to establish friendly tone: :p

It might be, but it is informative as well, so I don't feel like it's something worth mentioning.

hey, good to have you here. as is probably obvious, the forums are a bit dead at the moment; hopefully with a few more people we'll reach critical mass for sustained activity.
sure, why not. i might be able to post a couple of essay drafts after exams are done
it better, or else i’ll do something stupid beyond mortal ken and both of us will end up the worse for it
you're the only one here who knows whether paranoia is justified, so it's your call. are there any people you wouldn't trust to behave well?
i would personally not mind at all; in fact, a few new people would be fairly novel after such a long period of stagnation. especially with such a disused forum, i don't see any harm in letting them in. ofc, it's savage's site and ultimately his decision.
yeah, he makes pretty frequent allegations of sociopathy and/or other serious mental illnesses. i can remember multiple occasions where he's called me personally and explicitly a psychopath, and there was that discussion on st about "internet trolls" correlating with psychopathy (which is really not surprising, when you think about it, but which was treated as an absolute). his propensity to attach tags that he doesn't even remotely understand to people is really quite worrying.
drake here, pitchin' in to that first point. spudo banned myself and several others for negative attitude. one of these was a friend (uuuuuugh) of darth. she made an account on st (and provoked others into doing the same); in retaliation (and in approximation of the actions of the few to the intent of the many, as spudo often does), spudo edited the chat to replace every message with "DUUUH", and taunted us. around this time i logged in with an alt and used a repurposed chat-interfacing app to spam it with messages. underestimating the obscene fragility of spudo's servers, i started to ramp up to as many requests as i was able to perform; this, of course, shut down the site. after realizing that i had actually done it personally (i hadn't been sending nearly as much traffic as i had believed would crash it, so i initially assumed that it was michos' doing), and after being notified by an anonymous informant that spudo was talking faeces about fhers behind our backs, i started to shut down other subdomains of his. it went on for about thirty minutes to an hour, at which point my sleep-deprivation-addled brain finally recognized the concept of "legal consequences" and i stopped.
on the second point, because i don't want to make another post, the guy's a prick. basically all of the Serious Antagonism he has recently (in the broad sense) received has been from me, and he seems absolutely hell-bent on using my sporadic insults to justify his raging kismesis to fighunter entire. i have no idea what your attraction to st is (a cursory glance at your profile registers "vaguely pretentious"), but my honest advice to you would be to GET THE FUCK AWAY RIGHT THIS SECOND. i literally cannot think of a single person who has ever been positively influenced by spudo, and the memeplex that hovers like a fetid musk around that site is hella harmful. imho you should *really* try to avoid absorbing any more of those ideas than is absolutely necessary. what savage said is absolutely correct; the site is a thinly-veiled vehicle for spudo's desires, and spudo's desires only. he could be charitably described as a predator; i would say that his vocal denunciation and categorization of people like that has made it far more easy for him to ignore the little signs that he himself is one of them.
i'm not going to talk about the entire "bigoted" thing, because that much should be patently obvious to anyone in the same plane of existence as him.

I have something else to bring up about the "Get away from him" thing (I should add swear filters).
I go to a youth club, and I showed Pseudo's Transphobic Adventures to a women working there (who I trust with my issues and stuff). It's literally the most shocked a person I have ever seen, really. Anyway, she not only said that I should stay away from Pseudo, but that I should stay away from his FRIENDS (as I assumed people like Scint and whatnot where; honestly I don't know) as well. Yes. I should point out that she also thinks he's faking his social anxiety, and doesn't really know much about him besides his transphobic adventures. So take it with a grain of salt maybe.
He also called us Psychopaths or sociopaths or both (Actually, they are the same thing. Ignore this). Not really sure. Fun Fact: Looking at the list of symptoms of psychopathy, they don't really match up with Aspergers/Autism. So if you have autism either you are not, or the chances are reduced of you being a psycopath as well. :D
Also, Drake, I wouldn't call him a predator... He's more like the pampered kid who throws tantrums if he doesn't get exactly what he wants all the time... Which isn't a contradiction to him being a predator. Never mind. Carry on.
