[Halforums] Whatever happened to...

Apr 8, 2012#1

Soliloquy

The thread where we reminisce about former posters who have disappeared without a trace, and perhaps make guesses about what has become of them.

I got this idea because I started wondering where JCM went off to. I decided to look up his last post to see if there was any indication about what was up.

His final post truly signaled a noble departure.

To be fair, when you have an infant, a significant portion of your life will revolve around feces, and the production of it.

Because we've done it a few times now and they are either gone for good, gone for a while, or lurking.

The last count was about 20 "known" members MIA.

I find comfort that everything still comes down to ad hominems when it comes to journalism. Feels like a comfy shoe at this point.

That you could compare O'Keefe to journalists is a more vicious ad hominem to journalists than anything I could conjure up to say about O'Keefe.

Apr 9, 2012#42

And fwiw it looks like O'Keefe is getting "fired" in some senses. A lot of media outlets now refuse to run his stuff without doing some serious fact checking first. Which is suprising considering how little most of them actually care about integrity.

But they didn't release his name. Probably so he can get picked up over at ABC where they photoshopped out Zimmerman's head wounds.

I'm not claiming it doesn't sound like a certain horrible word, but it -isn't- a certain horrible word. It doesn't even share an etymological root. But that hasn't stopped some politicians being thrown out of office for saying it.

Geez, you throw on one klan cloak and spout a few words that sound like racial slurs, and all of a sudden you get labeled a racist. The world today!

Mav was also infamous for jumping down JCM's throat because JCM made a thread about one day's Penny Arcade strip, and so ruined Mav's reading order. Mav was also incredibly misogynist. Charlie gets after people presently here for jokes--he has no concept of the festering cesspool that was Mav's POV on women, basically (paraphrasing) that women are tricksters who don't know what they want, and his views on how to handle that ranged from showing them what a wonderful person he was deep down underneath to... well, the kind of crap said to Crone.

Apr 15, 2012#97

to be fair about his thinking women are tricksters he had no experience with women EXCEPT that chick who took advantage of him. He just didn't have the maturity or experience to properly frame that one woman's actions as well one woman's actions.

I sort of viewed him as a friendly rival for a while, since we kind of got into the webcomic thing at the same time. Even though our genres were completely different. No comparison now though, since he's actually remained successful and consistent.

Aye, it was stienman who made it a tradition, but it wasn't him who made the first one.

Also, if I remember correctly, Stienman made and started selling a poster featuring the gallery, but NeonNinja (AKA NeonGrue) made him stop selling it because it featured his artwork.

EDIT: I think ZenMonkey was the only one to buy the poster before it was taken down.

I'm not sure what she was better at. For me, she and Charlie were and are quite different.

I think she and I had a disagreement or something on the Image, or maybe Half Pixel, forums, but I can't recall what it was about to begin with. I've found that, over time, the people that I've disliked the most was due to me being a very different person back then. There was a lot of unspoken dislike coming from this side of the keyboard and I dealt with that.

It bummed me to learn that she had health issues and even more when someone said that she might have passed.
