Remiel Posted November 30, 2013 Report Posted November 30, 2013 On a whim that played loosely with my better judgement I decided to take a peek in here. Just from looking at the main forum page I am kind of surprised how many of you guys from years ago are still around. Hopefully no member has killed another yet, hahaha... Quote
cybercoma Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 As much as everyone "hates" each other, there is no doubt in my mind that everyone comes here because of the huge cross-section of views and opinions. Quote

Remiel Posted December 1, 2013 Author Report Posted December 1, 2013 We did assassinate American Woman, and came up with a clever ruse to hide the evidence. -k Apparently her ghost lives on. Are there any members named "Exorcist" ? Quote
bleeding heart Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 We did assassinate American Woman, and came up with a clever ruse to hide the evidence. -k Yep. I argued with the investigators about the word "assassinate," then sideswiped them with a rejoinder that I said "assassinate," not "assassinated," and then sagely pointed out that they (and their ilk) had a long habit of misrepresenting me.

kimmy Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 Nope....as your post illustrates, AW is still having a lasting impact. If by "lasting impact" you mean that she continues to be the butt of jokes, then I agree. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)

eyeball Posted December 1, 2013 Report Posted December 1, 2013 Hopefully no member has killed another yet, hahaha... A few pretty much just blew themselves to bits, like Mr Canada and his various reincarnations.

betsy Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) Attacking other members (i.e. assassination) is a violation of forum rules. Continued references are the ultimate form of worship. Exactly. AW must've had the upper hand in a discussion and Kimmy still hasn't recovered - Kimmy's nose is obviously still out of joint! Ice pack will help. Maybe. Edited December 2, 2013 by betsy Quote

AW must've had the upper hand in a discussion and Kimmy still hasn't recovered - Kimmy's nose is obviously still out of joint! That's pretty far from my impression of their numerous discussions--close to the opposite--but to each her own!

Remiel Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Posted December 2, 2013 Uh-oh. I am back here for a second day in a row. I even posted in some discussions. I think I may be relapsing, . Quote
Michael Hardner Posted December 2, 2013 Report Posted December 2, 2013 Well, it's good to have you back. By the way, who are you calling old timer ? I'm the only top 10 who's been here ten years you know... Quote Click to learn why Climate Change is caused by HUMANS Michael Hardner
Remiel Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Posted December 3, 2013 What do you think happened to all the regulars that were here when you joined? If MLW has been around for 14 years it seems odd that there are no representatives of the first 4. Quote

If MLW has been around for 14 years it seems odd that there are no representatives of the first 4. Does it really? What would you estimate as the average half life of MLW members? Quote

Remiel Posted December 3, 2013 Author Report Posted December 3, 2013 Does it really? What would you estimate as the average half life of MLW members? I do not think I can answer that question. And I am not sure it describes what governs membership anyway: I could not name anyone offhand who was here since "in the beginning" when I joined in 2006. They had already left by that point. If half-life were a thing, there should be a mass exodus from the forum anytime now, probably ending in its demise: seven years since I originally joined, seven years of existence prior to that.

Moonlight Graham Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) As much as everyone "hates" each other, there is no doubt in my mind that everyone comes here because of the huge cross-section of views and opinions. I don't think MLW has a "huge cross-section of views and opinions" politically. I post on other international political forums and I debate with honest-to-goodness Marxist-Leninists, Fascists, Libertarians etc. Canadian political opinions don't usually vary beyond the spectrum of our major political parties ie: from NDP to red Tory. MLW is still a good place to exchange views though, which is probably what you meant anyways.

Please spare us your quoting of the rules. Exactly. AW must've had the upper hand in a discussion and Kimmy still hasn't recovered - Kimmy's nose is obviously still out of joint! Ice pack will help. Maybe. Last time I checked Kimmy still posts here. AW lost and ran away. I won't miss her. Quote
