matt f/k/a Pissed Off In Ohio (POIO)
July 4, 2003
bush admirer you're such a dumbass by matt • Friday July 04, 2003 12:27 PM
BTW: I know people who conduct those surveys for clearchannel. I know they're corrupt and self serving and I know for a fact he does not enjoy nearly 60% approval rating. The numbers they call are only people who they think agree with them. So more accurately your statement should read '68 (actually 61)% of the people we thought loved bush actually still support him'. In all reality he enjoys maybe 20% approval and about 30% 'tolerance'. Meaning about 1 out of 2 americans totally fucking hates him. Fucking tool. You suck.

oh god! by matt • Friday July 04, 2003 03:39 PM
ow. the pain. 'Pissed Off in Iowa'? Haha how flattering that the cointel types have deemed i'm enough of a risk to warrant trying to dilute my impact on the readers here. Keyword there is 'trying'. Perhaps its just a coincedence but I doubt it. For those not aware of what i'm talking about, I was signing as 'Pissed Off in Ohio' for a long time but have since decided to just go by my first name. I'd use my full name but i expect some vindictive little gov employees would try to bring repurcussions down on my families head, which they don't deserve. What the hell do you have to be pissed about anyways? Is the slaughter of the Iraqi people / country / heritage not proceeding at an acceptable pace for you? Just can't wait to get some of that cheap iraqi oil for your suv? Or are you just furious that your little poster boy resident and the gop now control basically the entire US government? You shills are so fucking stupid it defies all logic.

Maybe a little scripting is in order by matt • Friday July 04, 2003 03:56 PM
I could probably craft a little javascript to forcibly remove any comment signed by bush admirer. Unfortunately i don't have a mac to develop on so you mac users won't be able to use that. And javascript runs kinda slow, especially for document rewriting on big docs. I could make a php script to accomplish the same thing that would run much faster and universally, but would need somewhere to house it. The same script could remove the 'xxxxxxxxxxx....' crap i think BA also likes to do when he is totally without anything resembling an arguement. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a big one for censorship but when was the last time BA said anything resembling an intelligent statement, or even a statement worth consideration. I've been haunting this place for months and i have yet to see a single statement by him that wasn't completely worthless.

wow. You are one dumb fucker. Ok lets see here. "I'm not Bush Admirer." - sure. "The only person you're flattering is yourself. I could care less if you're here or not or what you have to say. We're here for the fun, to make fun of you lefties. The sooner you comprehend that, the better. But if you never believe it, we don't really care." Get a life. If attempting to belittle political activists is your definition of fun, hell the full scale invasion of some near-defensless thirdworld nation must be a fucking holiday eh? You suck. Nor do i believe you anyways. No one puts in as many hours with so little thought or content as ba or daveman or psymon or any of you other little two bit shills without drawing a paycheck for it. "Whatever. There may be, and that's a big MAY, 10 people who regularly read and post here." Haha you dumbfuck there's more than that reading this site, regularly, from my apartment complex in the middle of fucking ohio. I'm willing to be 1 out of 10 internet users along the west coast has heard of la/sf/portland imc, visited one or all of them and returned at least once. I'd say its entirely possible that at least a quarter of them come back regularly to keep up on whats going on. The regulars do the posting, and shoot down your half baked little attempts at debate, and the rest sit back and watch, happy not to get their hands dirty dealing with little fuckwits like yourself. I took my turn on the back burner for a couple monthes as i recovered from our darkest day (the day the invasion kicked off), now i'm back in a more proactive role. Be sure that there are plenty more to take my place when i've had enough. "If there's any box in LA that has a sniffer on it, it's LA-IMC. They probably already know the names and addresses of everyone of us that post here. That doesn't bother me. If it does you, that's your problem. If you don't believe the LA-IMC box has a sniffer, dial up a guy named "nessie" at SF-IMC. He's the local anarchist editor in SF and he'll fill you in. " Of course any spook that wants my full name can have it, but they can't take outright action against my family as a repurcussion for my actions as they are not supposed to have that info in the first place. I'm fine with the spooks knowing who i am, all they can do is come kill me. And maybe they will. Whatever. "What the hell do you have to be pissed about anyways? I don't. It was just in fun. " Again, get a life you little shit. Go get laid, find something better to do. Of course, that statement was made under the assumption that you aren't full of shit when you say this is just a hobby for you, when of course we both know thats a complete crock. And to think, you tell us to go get a job. Look at what pays your bills. Ugh how disgusting. "> Just can't wait to get some of that cheap iraqi oil for your suv? I don't own a SUV. >Or are you just furious that your little poster boy (p)resident and the gop now control basically the entire US government? Why would that make me furious?" EARTH TO DUMBFUCK - COME IN DUMBFUCK. I was pointing out the idiocy of you even pretending to be pissed off about anything in the world today. I bet you jerk off to CNN, you must love the state of the world today so much. I'll not be replying to any more of your infantile bullshit. Furthermore, if you persist with this nonsense, i will begin taking aggressive anti-bullshit measures against you. How's that you say? Little wonder called the DOM, through the miracle of DHTML i can make you and yours completely disappear off this site for anyone who would prefer that you didn't exist. I would rather leave that task up to the editors around here but if you piss me off much more i will do it. Hell if it comes down to it i'll put you all in a PHP-death-headlock. Won't even require javascript for the end user. So anyways, fuck you. Our day will come.

I think I just scared them a bit. They wouldn't know what to do when it comes down to a tech battle, and so out comes the 'love it or leave it' arguement. Hint: that shit hasn't gotten me to abandon my country to you little shits, its not going to get me to abandon this board to you fuckers either. Also, careful that you don't pick a fight you cant possibly win. Do you know how many out of work, disgruntled, well-informed patriot hackers there are out there? We have lots of time, all the right info, and skills that you fucks can't mess with at all. And you fuckers just exported all our damn jobs over to india! You're lucky we haven't already completely shut down the internet cause we damn sure could. Hell the best your kind seems to have to offer up is this kobehq 2bit hack. With his 'oh-so-secure' asp and his little prepackaged 'webwiz' forum scripts. He's lucky i'm not the vindictive type cause if i was i could so totally skullfuck his little bullshit IIS server it would never recover. Nor do i fuck around with DOSing, that shit is for amatuers. So, a warning for you shills. Start saying something worth the time it takes to read, or just shut the fuck up. This mutual masturbation bullshit you say you think is so amusing is obviously just a cointel tactic to disrupt the opposition (ala 'operation chaos'), and we've put up with it for long enough.

Lurker by matt • Friday July 04, 2003 05:17 PM
yes, you're right, I agree. I am simply fed up with their bullshit. I have long held the ability to forcibly shut them the hell up and have refrained because it strikes me as fairly immoral. But damn if they don't make it fucking tempting sometimes. For the record, I really do have a huge chip on my shoulder (seriously its like a fucking boulder), and I guess it looks like I have a huge ego too.. The reason i would disagree on that point though is that I'm not just talking shit, I'm completely capable of producing everything i've said. As for the peabrain... who knows, thats all relative anyways. I'm good with code though, that much is certain. I don't presume to tell these people what to think, only that i wish they would try to produce conversation with *some* substance... Any substance, even if i don't agree with it, would be better than all this bullshit they keep flooding the board with. It makes it excessively annoying to hold a reasonable conversation, and because of that i feel it may deserve some questionable tactics to preserve the ability to use this board as the resource it was designed to be. Anyways, your statement seems objective and i can't dispute it, I am acting a little childish i admit, but what are we to do here. The admin of the board seem very reluctant to take any measures to resist the subversion of their website, and i appreciate it enough to take proactive steps to preserve it. Do you have any other suggestions?

who isn't these days. But know this, I'm not kidding. I can (and will) do whatever i feel is in my power to fix this website. And by fix I mean silence, effectively ignore, or forcibly remove the people that would render this site unusable. Am I referring to anyone that disagrees with me? Despite what fresca asserts, no, of course not. In fact, some of the people I am personally getting sick of would claim to be on the same side as I am (debate coach comes to mind).
The point is that after the first half a dozen comments on any given thread, the conversation usually degrades into this worthless tripe tossed back and forth.
So after much consideration this is what i've come up with:
I've nixxed the idea of javascript based functionality as it offers too much potential for error, and would be too labor intensive to be used effectively in the long run.
So PHP (or some other server side scripting language) comes to mind as the only logical solution. I will make a php script that will act as a 'MC' when viewing pages, and it will selectively hide/condense articles and comments you don't care to see. How will it know what you don't want to see? Two ways. Initially, you will manually click the 'hide this' link it will insert next to each comment and will no longer show that comment to you unless you use a special link at the top of the page to show you the hidden comments. That seems about as effecient as the task could be without eliminating control from the part of the user. The other option is to establish which users you trust, and then have what it shows you be a product of which articles they view. So say i decide to say I trust the opinion of Diogenes, Sheepdog, SF, and whoever else. Now say circlejerk decides to make a mess all over a thread. Say diogenes and sheepdog mark the comment as 'hide this', but sf hasn't been able to log in yet cause he's in timbuktu. If i have 'auto-hide' enabled, it will average the visibility for each trusted user into one number (ie, (1 + 1 + 0) / 3 = .66 = Hide it).
In this way, casual viewing combined with the proactive method (method #1) of hiding on the part of a few users will create a generally clutter free environment for all users to surf.
This will all be done on a remote server, none of the scripts i'm describing would be stored on la.imc's server. Unless they would like them to, in which case they can contact me and i'd be happy to make that happen.
This system would neccessitate user logins. There is simply no avoiding it, as much as I would like to as it makes the user feel a little more anonymous. It would work fine with proxies though.
Anyone, any suggestions or questions regarding?

Also, kiss my ass. You're trying to make my statements out to be some heavyhanded authoritarian attack against anyone I disagree with when clearly thats not the case. I've asked for constructive comments regarding this idea, not your halfbaked attempts at... well i dunno what that was supposed to be. Humor? A personal attack? Whatever it was, it sucked, you should just give up.

"people that would render this site unusable" - Says nothing about my opinion of the substance of their statement.
Later in that same paragraph: "In fact, some of the people I am personally getting sick of would claim to be on the same side as I am (debate coach comes to mind)."
Either you are incapable of reading, or you're trying to make me out to be a bad guy here. I don't care. You won't make me out to be a villian in this case because i'm not and even if i was i wouldn't give a rats ass what you think about it anyways. I suspect it may be simply a lack of attention span and the ability to read and comprehend that is the root of your problem, mr anonymous coward.
I would have more respect for your statements if you had enough of a spine to stand behind them with an identity. But i don't expect that to mean much to you, whats my respect worth to you when you don't even have any respect for yourself.

Do whatever the fuck you want. Or don't. We don't really care.
Someone already came up with a simpler solution to your problem. It seems that someone put this little scroll bar thingy on the side of the web page here. It works good for me. I just don't read posts from people I don't like. I just scroll over 'em. For instance, I seldom read your tripe.

I think one of the surest signs of incompetence and ignorance are those who would speak for the 'we'.

"We have all accepted as fact..."
"We don't care"
You're such a tool Eric. Speak for yourself because I highly doubt anyone in their right mind would want you speaking for them.
Not like I really give a shit though. I didn't post my proposal to see if little warmongers like yourself care for it. I don't expect you to. I asked if anyone had any suggestions as to how to make the system work better. And I am still waiting for any answers with substance, from either side of the fence.

First you post some bullshit little thread like this to try to goad me into saying something, and when I do, you decide that its not to your liking and i should just 'shut the hell up'? Hehe. Morans.
Btw, blister, your nick is fucking moronic. Sounds like you're trying to come up with a comic book about yourself. "Oh no, its Blister(c) and his infallible torrent of wisdom and justice!!! Hide from the skin-condition-become-superhero!!!". Who would your sidekick be, Genital Wart man?
hahaha when i said 'pick an identity and stand behind it' i meant one that doesn't suck ;-)
still waiting. Any site admin watching, got something to say? I've considered the impact my proposition could have on your bandwidth usage (the only potentially negative side i could find to it), and with careful caching, I think bandwidth usage would actually lower a little bit. Perhaps RSS* could be implemented to use isolated news 'chunks' sans all formatting information. Would be more effecient and easier to parse. Either way is doable though.

I value matt's sincerity and analysis. And I appreciate his anger, believe me. Also I under stand his annoyance at stinky behavior. Of this I am also at times guilty. It's a matter of degree and taste. I cannot approve of an instrumentality control without popular consent however. Eric has a point as to his approach through the garbage. It works for him. I saw your blank post. Got that nailed? We fucking need your help if you want to offer solutions to jamming repleted identical posts, fast alerts to the IMC staff about shit..... It's their collective. Help them if you can, they seem to need tech consultation if you're as good as you say... do yooose guys chat at all? My E-mail is cumbersome with this service and the phone line is always out to report questionable activity. I've tried to help but I am iggnante. Bounce?

I had not been on this thread before - the ESPN turned me off.
Now that I know what is just a thought or two.
Like you I get tired of the intentional disruption of the Site.
And it is intentional. How much of it is COINTELPRO type shit I don't know - a fair amount I would guess. There are certain topics that tend to draw almost immediate Spam attacks.
Anyway - I agree with Sheepdog - if there is some way you could help the kids running the joint to be able to quickly and easily "scrub" disruptive Spam it would be something I suspect they would appreciate.
As of late the Kids have been doing a better Job of taking care of the Shit that gets posted to disrupt the Site. Notice the "Circle" , and BA himself are quick to disappear.
Thanks for the thought.
P.S. - I liked your old Nick. It fits.

Do you mean to say that you've noticed BA's posts being deleted as of late?
I hadn't noticed.
If true, well, there goes the board.
I'm all for getting rid of circle, or whatever the hell he calls himself and debate coach and all those like him. But who draws the line.
I suspect I'd be gone rather quickly.

I was born and raised in utopia. Where i went to school and learned things like never question authority. Its more important to be liked and popular than to think for yourself. I want to be programmed like a dog, and make friends with the other conformists so one day i could leave and get a job. and never question anything because its just not right. I dont really think they would ever lie to me. because life is so beautiful with my head in the sand.

I was born and raised in an upper middle class family, in the States of course, where else? Where i flunked out of school and refused to learn things and developed a healthy disdain for authority. Its more important to be liked and popular than to abide by rules and respect my neighbor's wishes, materialized through law. I refuse to abide like a dog, I'd prefer to pout and claim opression and to make friends with the other non-conformists so one day i could leave and join a cult. and traipse around in the haze of ambiguity never knowing which way is up. I really think everyone lies to me. because life is so miserable with my head up in my ass.
