then something snaps, and you can see the death drive...they're going out in the most flailing, humiliating, drawn out way imaginable...no white towel, ever
they are just begging for the end at that point - so they can perform their martyr routine, piece together the small remaining shards of their dignity and find a new board to begin it all again
Good post. You can add desire to prove how smart they are and how much they don't care about the boards opinion(only to prove otherwise with the constant responses). [Reply]

Well, nice thing in my favor is that my name is so freaking common that it lends itself to a certain anonymity. I don't believe in online privacy. It's a nice illusion but I put it up there with any other mythology.
I bet you many could find out tons of information but the effort vs. the reward just wouldn't pay off. And I think that's what happened to Maverick. He pushed enough buttons to make it a challenge, enough so that somebody with time on their hands felt up to the task.
Personally, I don't have the time on my hands to troll. Life's too short and where I'm at I'm lucky to see any hint of a Chief's fan. So, I lurk around here and feed off of your passion. I do hope Maverick comes back though...I hate running off a fan. Disagreements just make the CP more interesting. [Reply]

I read a book from Robert A. Heinlein from the 60s or 70s and he said something about privacy in one of his books that almost sounds viable today. I forget the book. He said, you don't hide by concealing your identity. You hide by creating so many of identities you confuse whoever is looking for you.

I promise there will be no shortage of disagreement on here. [Reply]
No french tickler here. With as much money as I've put into Viagra I'm looking into the latest pneumatic pop up version - activates with the touch of a button. Just so I have a place to hang my hat... :-) [Reply]

Are you putting the finishing touches on a 12-pack of Anchor Steam? What the fuck does this mean? [Reply]

I use my real name on all of my industry related forums but there's not a chance in hell I'd use it here.
That said, posting on other forums is "interesting" to say the least. There are so many times when I want to go all "Dane McCloud" on dumbasses but then think "Oh wait...".
I tend not to post too much on other forums for that very reason.

I imagine that Maverick made quite a few mistakes making him an easy mark. Just how hard is it to get that information as an average Joe if you are determined to get it? Makes you think...
I have thought about it before. If you wanted to dig through my posts you could easily find out exactly who I am and where I work for starters.
