Notice

Good morning everyone. Just wanted to mention to those who might be preparing to respond to any of my recent posts that I will not be around to continue such conversations, as this is my last post at ILP. I just wanted to save you the trouble and offer to continue any conversations with you at myspace, if you are interested. Drop me a line if you like.

The reason why I am leaving is because one of my recents posts was edited/changed by someone without my permission and without informing me, I suspect a moderator, but I cannot be sure.

As you all know I’m a jolly fellow and I do like to play games once and a while, but this is a game that I will not play. I’m sure you understand.

I would also like to add that it is possible that several of my posts have been altered, so I ask that you do not consider any of them since we cannot be sure how they were edited, if in fact they were. It becomes a matter of authenticity at this point, and I refuse to inspect every post I have ever made for alterations. I wil not be held accountable for things I have not said, and for the absence of things I have said. I might as well be gagged.

The specific post that was edited, that I know of for sure, was my last post in PG’s thread regarding her church date. A comment I made about Bessy was changed. I suspect she changed it herself, but I’m not sure. I can imagine a motive she might of had for doing so-- recently she sent me a PM and I told her to fuck off. Perhaps this is her revenge, I don’t know. If I could, I would put her in a box, lock it, and throw it into the ocean, and that would be that. Problem solved.

In all honor I would rather be warned, or posted in the hall of shame, or even banned…but I will not tolerate people who edit and censor my posts.

I think you all should consider this. It is quite possible that this could happen to your posts…if it hasn’t already happened. This is a risk we take when interacting with strangers on the internet. I would encourage you to trust no one at this point, except for myself…as ridiculous as that might sound.

Anyway, thanks to those of you who have offered good times and had good words with me. Many of you are beautiful people. I trust you understand that I no longer feel secure here for said reasons and so I must leave.

And I want to apologize beforehand to those of you who are decent and have good intentions here at ILP, since I am going to pursue the possibility I had considered earlier of destroying ILP with the assistance of hackers. I have had several offers which I declined in hopes that this place might turn around. These recent events, however, are unacceptable.

So, I ask again that if you value anything specific here that you have posted and would like to keep it, to copy it. I am not going to waste any time in achieving my objective.

Thanks again, good folks. We’ve had some good times and I will miss this place.

p.s. the only reason why I would return would be to re-post this post if a moderator deletes it, which I believe is quite possible at this point. Philosophy forums are infamous for operating little conspiracies between power hungry peons who aren’t worth the shit stuck to the bottom of my boot. One day, I promise you good people, these mistakes will no longer exist.

Good luck, and take care of yourself.

Stay detrop - Don’t leave!

Let the pedants fiddle with messages!
Just expose them whenever they do.

Stay and just be thankful nothing serious happened and merely some ingriate computer geek felt compelled to edit your posts because you got under their skin. This ‘editing’ is a victory on your part. See it as such…rise above it…post above it…proclaim above it!

Stay and type and speculate the world over.

:smiley:

Bessy is not capable of changing anything of yours. Only authorized personnel can. You only get what you put in. You have been under stress lately so your anger is understandable. You have been misplacing it though. Direct your anger where it should be, not at people here. You lost your job and have hard times right now. Take a breath and organize yourself. Lately you have been a real little shit here. I have been avoiding you because of that misplaced anger. You really have been irritating and angry. Please think about it. Or if you think I am wrong then, Fuck off, kiss my ass and don’t let the door hit you where the good lord split you. Truly though I think you need to reevaluate your attitude, my guess is you just don’t see how stress is affecting you, we do.

edit addition: I forgot to add: Get a grip, destruction of someone elses possession, this website? Dude grow up, you know destruction solves nothing, and gives only an imaginary temporary relief. Doing a criminal act is beneath you, I believe there is more to you then such idiotic pettiness. Get some help.

Detrop, we’re sorry you didn’t receive any notice that your message was altered. What we normally try to do is send a private message to the person who made the post if we felt it needed to be edited for some reason. What we’ll try to do here is find out why it was edited and let you know.

I’ve Pm’d you regarding your other comments.

For the sake of transperancy could 0BW perhaps post the ALTERED post for all to see. Perhaps feature the original post and the subseqeunt change with explanation why the changes where made.

Many thanks,
Colinsign

How do I know you even wrote this?

This sucks, man. I like reading what you write.

Peace duder, I hope you change you mind.

Tropdude,

We’re editing posts now?

lol

you guys are fucked.

See you around Détrop. We never talked much but you did write an interesting sentence. Always a rarity. Pm me your myspace tag.

Unless you hate me of course. :laughing:

Erase. Now.

Tab,

Detrop’s myspace page is the www link at the foot of his post.

Detrops myspace has been deleted.

I know this because I recieved a message from him via my myspace and now the messages reads - This myspace no longer exists.

He is vanishing off the face of the internet

Return long enough to leave us a trail of breadcrumbs, détrop. Punish The Powers That Be, but please do not punish The Faithful who need your (fucked up & wacked out) wisdom.

There is Another Place, a Place That Can Not Be Named where a truer freedom of expression is available. Er, I guess it can be PM’d, though. Drop me line.

Keep on the down low, though. =P~

Thanks SIATD, but it seems that in his haste to leave our young Theseus forgot to anchor his thread before descending into the maze.

Doh - Ariadne will be pissed.

Detrop, if you’re still not happy about things in 5 years, look me up, we can start a Communist society or something.

The post wasn’t written by detrop. See, it’s signed by “brian”, whoever that is. The bastards.

Can’t you people read the signs - the message - under the lines?!

La Revolution has been commenced!!

Brother trop is dropping us the bomb!

Comrads, pray and sing; comrads all over the globe, it is time.

(Ready steady, ILP Chorus; one, two, three:)

"The Internationale

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We’ll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we’ll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They’ll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We’ll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E’er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each [those] at the forge must do their duty
And we’ll strike while the iron is hot.

L’Internationale

Debout les damnés de la terre
Debout les forçats de la faim
La raison tonne en son cratère
C’est l’éruption de la fin
Du passe faisons table rase
Foules, esclaves, debout, debout
Le monde va changer de base
Nous ne sommes rien, soyons tout

C’est la lutte finale
Groupons-nous, et demain
L’Internationale
Sera le genre humain

Il n’est pas de sauveurs suprêmes
Ni Dieu, ni César, ni tribun
Producteurs, sauvons-nous nous-mêmes
Décrétons le salut commun
Pour que le voleur rende gorge
Pour tirer l’esprit du cachot
Soufflons nous-mêmes notre forge
Battons le fer quand il est chaud

L’état comprime et la loi triche
L’impôt saigne le malheureux
Nul devoir ne s’impose au riche
Le droit du pauvre est un mot creux
C’est assez, languir en tutelle
L’égalité veut d’autres lois
Pas de droits sans devoirs dit-elle
Egaux, pas de devoirs sans droits

Hideux dans leur apothéose
Les rois de la mine et du rail
Ont-ils jamais fait autre chose
Que dévaliser le travail
Dans les coffres-forts de la bande
Ce qu’il a crée s’est fondu
En décrétant qu’on le lui rende
Le peuple ne veut que son dû.

Les rois nous saoulaient de fumées
Paix entre nous, guerre aux tyrans
Appliquons la grève aux armées
Crosse en l’air, et rompons les rangs
S’ils s’obstinent, ces cannibales
A faire de nous des héros
Ils sauront bientôt que nos balles
Sont pour nos propres généraux

Ouvriers, paysans, nous sommes
Le grand parti des travailleurs
La terre n’appartient qu’aux hommes
L’oisif ira loger ailleurs
Combien, de nos chairs se repaissent
Mais si les corbeaux, les vautours
Un de ces matins disparaissent
Le soleil brillera toujours.

Die Internationale

Wacht auf, Verdammte dieser Erde,
die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt!
Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde
nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt.
Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedranger!
Heer der Sklaven, wache auf!
Ein nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht langer
Alles zu werden, stromt zuhauf!

Volker, hort die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkampft das Menschenrecht

Es rettet uns kein hoh’res Wesen
kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun
Uns aus dem Elend zu erlosen
konnen wir nur selber tun!
Leeres Wort: des armen Rechte,
Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht!
Unmundigt nennt man uns Knechte,
duldet die Schmach langer nicht!

In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute,
wir sind die starkste Partei’n
Die Mussigganger schiebt beiseite!
Diese Welt muss unser sein;
Unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben
und der machtigen Geier Frass!
Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben
dann scheint die Sonn’ ohn’ Unterlass!"

UNITE! COMRADS FROM THE WORLD!!

GUN DOWN THE CAPITALIST PIGS! COMRADS NOW!

IN ARMS BROTHERS! RISE YOUR FLAGS!!

Hee hee, you got pwned.

Well, I’ve searched but I can’t find any evidence to suggest anyone edited your post, Detrop. If you have the original content, please post it here with the current content alongside so we can all see exactly how it changed.

Bessy definitely did not edit it.

Wow… this really is a spring cleaning.

Take care de’t and stay away from drinking bars and radioactive polonium 210. I think someone might be after you.
