Anyway ET saw me playing it when he couldn't and sent me death threats.

A perfectly rational response.

You really should have thought about ET's feelings before playing that demo.

Classic ET. He really did have an inexplicable love of Lost Planet.

I can't remember every single unique madness of every forumite but I do recall ET being somewhat neurodiverse.

I say that with sincerity being chronically neurowobbled myself. One of the more interesting forumers even if that does sound a little unstable and/or ridiculous.

My personal favourite example of being PM'd unhinged nonsense was someone comparing banning them to a police officer dishing out capital punishment for stealing a chocolate bar.

No, no, it's not at all like that. What the strawberry float.

Yeah, but it's not easy when your brain gets put in charge.

I'm not sure if you're referring to my brain, our collective brains, or brains in general. Anyway, I agree.

I definitely could use more than one brain. Brains are awfully unreliable and at least as prone to error as the systems and environments that they create.

I'm genuinely more of a chaos theorist / anarchist and all of this is just massively overcompensating. Perhaps that describes more than I like to know it does.

I also hate moderating, which is why I do it about once a year.

That was Early Grey, by the way. I recall it was something to do with something quite obviously racist, Jews or whatever but there might have been something about threats.
