Seriously, do ya have any IDEA how much effort I’ve put into trying to AVOID becoming “respectable,” only to find people trying to drag my ass kicking and screaming into it? I’m not ready for this Over The Hill/Tribal Elder/Voice of Responsibility crap…
Funny thing is 20 years ago I was a mod on a few forums, HK91.com, Full-Auto.com. Of course there wasn’t a lot of moderation on Full-Auto.com, it was a fun “basically no rules” (Nothing Illegal) forum until the 88’s found us.
In all seriousness, most of my life I’ve been accustomed to being the youngest person in any room I find myself in and punching way above my weight class, most extreme example being crashing the B-52 50th birthday party and having a roomful of retired colonels and generals consider me their equal–it’s a steep learning curve getting used to the idea of being over 40 and “in the second act of life’s 3-act play.” I’ve been a mod too, but the last longterm one was as a SME on a historical wargaming board where Management not only expected but specifically required me to be an Utter Bastard toward certain kinds of users. (You wanna see an attack of Tourette’s worthy of a DI? Show up at the miniatures with more than ONE German aircraft carrier or TWELVE Fw200 Kondor patrol bombers… or show up playing 1945 Japanese and whinge about “unfair overpowered late-war USN air cheese.” I actually had a Complaint Quota where if the head honcho DIDN’T get X number of complaints about my approach to Munchkin Wrangling a month it meant I wasn’t doing my job…)
So this isn’t a phishing attempt or malware; only a glitch? Or do I need to light my email box on fire and put my phone in a Faraday bag with a white noise machine and some penicillin?
lol
