Joe User is "Joke User"
Get Your Free Blog! Next Year!
Friday, June 30, 2006 by TheGuyPC | Discussion: Virtual Communities
Everyone at Joe User is just so happy and fun! You have to have a sense of humor with a name like Joe User!
I was considering starting a blogsite dedicated to the discussion of marriage. I was going to call it Harry Crabs. My wife balked, so I digress.
There is really no virtual community to compare to the honest, open perspective that Joe User has. There should be more like it. This world would be a much richer, more diverse place.
I, as soooooooo many others are just grateful to be blessed by the absolute intelligence that this community offers.
Thank you so much. And to do it all for free?! Wow!

Oh, I don't think the points are worth having this come up on search engines for as long as the site lasts. What a legacy.
"Hey, TheGuyPC just won a Nobel Price in theoretical physics!!!"
"Who?"
"You know, that guy that accused Brad of having a liberal detector..."
"OH, yeah, what a doof..."

Baker....but we are left between a rock and a hard place.
Do we leave a rant such as this public for all to see until eternity and have its absurdity a blot on the landscape to all [the site AND the poster]...
or...
Do we kill it and have the recalcitrant expound "see? I was right...we are being repressed, - bloody typical "? ...[Pythonesque] ....
The former is really the only Politic option....but alas and alack it bears ill for its author....

Ah, but I wasn't apologising....far from it, in fact. When I saw the opportunity to turn the ridiculous into the sublime, I was only too happy to sieze upon it. And what better than a conspiracy theory to take the piss out of, greatly embellish upon. I knew one day all those 007 and high tech espionage movies I watched would come in handy for something.
Dr Guy, haven't you heard the old saying: "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings."? Well guess what! I got her gagged in a closet....so never fear, the soprano has been silenced.
There there, Bichur, never mind. Perhaps you shoulda pinned a Liberal campaign badge to it.
Actually yes...leaving the thread in the public domain actually disproves beyond doubt the proffered conspiracy theory...ie, censorship/political filtering is NOT alive and well. Besides, it demonstrates just what a great sport Brad is, that he and the admins are NOT pompous sticks in the mud. Essentially, then, the only blot on the landscape is the original complaint, for Brad and the site have risen above it.
Also, too late to sweep it under the carpet anyhow. This thread, like any other virus/disease (anti-biotics are useless], has mutated and evolved to have a life of its own...an entity unto itself, so to speak.
Tova7....best you bring that something shiny over here! TheGuyPC is the current life of the party and this is the 'in' place to be....you know, be there or be square.

stop posting and feeding him material. it just gives him stuff to feed his delusional (spelling ?) mind with. And for the record I am very liberal but I had no trouble getting my blog.

Yeah, give him a break, Jafo. The best solution would be to lock this puppy, let it drift out of sight on Stardock's boards, but remain for this twit's legacy. Me, I'd have exiled him with the "average joe" statements, but admittedly Brad is more tolerant of idiots than I am.

But we're not feeding Him, AT. This thread has become much, much bigger than the individual...in fact, that individual has become unimportatant, irrelevant to its existence. What we have now is a thread with a persona of its own, and if the originator never posts here again, it would happily survive and nobody would miss him.
Ah, but that would've been before the 'filters' were effectively put in place...you obviously fell through the cracks, and remain because your tin foil hat has that extra propellor with an EMP device to interrupt the signals transmitted back to Stardock. Not a bad idea, that!

Does this refer to the fact that when you google "theguyPC" it the second hit is this thread?

Because . . Brad controls Google?

I am making it my personal mission to keep this thread going as long as possible. I think it would end up being highly ironic considering the topic if this article found its way to the "top of the charts", so to speak. Please, guys, who's with me? We can make it a points whore marathon for theGuyPC, and maybe the proceeds can help him get treatment for his paranoia and persecution complex!

Count me in, but if there's any proceeds to be had, I've got first dibs on 'em...besides, it's unlikely we'd ever raise enough for the treatment required

Not for me anymore...I gave it up about 4 years ago now. The strongest brew for me these days is a cup of Tetleys (tea). Besides, tolerance is no longer required, since this thread progressed beyond the dude and is a living breathing organism with a purpose of its own...taking the mickey out of its originator. Sad that, he spawned the beast and it became his Judas, having betrayed him for another master. Next it'll be doing a Peter by denying 3 times that it even knows him. Hah, that'll teach him to conceive a contentious, rebellious child and not teach by example that self-restraint and discipline are virtues by which to live.

Or will this be a "one hit wonder" showcased of VH1 this time next year?
Enjoy the points.
