Poll: If PJH is willing and able, would you hide him behind an ellipsis?

You're not so stupid that you think I designed the Discourse permissions system, or that I installed Discourse on this site, or that I changed the rules on how the Lounge works. You're not that stupid, Boomzilla. But you typed it anyway.
I...I did? I thought you typed those things, though I took them as sarcasm. I'm not sure how to explain this paragraph of yours, though.
2) It was a lame debating tactic that backfired because I saw through it instantly.
Note that number 2, the one I went with, is actually the more generous of the two.
You are ingenious. You've completely baffled me here.
I'm just pointing out that you were told what the rules were and you've refused to follow them to maintain access to your shit. On purpose. I think your case is pretty dumb even if you lost status because you got run over by a bus and stopped visiting the site for a while during your hospital stay.
From the pinned "Welcome" topic in the lounge:
The Frequent Flyers Lounge. Available to Level 3 users and upwards.
So...you were warned. And you have known the consequences of your actions. I'm amused that your TDWTF ramblings are some valuable property and that you're affronted by their "forced estrangement from their rightful owner."
Is your boss not giving you enough attention lately?
-
But none of that changes that fact that restricting me from viewing my own content is wrong.
It's not like you ever go back and look at that stuff. Only other people ever look at your old posts to point out how you can't keep your story straight.
-
I had to point them out - he can't see those examples for himself!
-
I still pull stuff he posted on the old CS forums and rub his nose in them.
-
I don't give a shit about being in the Lounge, I'm talking about right and wrong. It's wrong to prevent me from accessing my posts.
In other words, you'd rather be Right than happy.
-
What is "happy"?
-
The state whereby the rest of us do not feel compelled to vomit bile everywhere.
-
What is "happy"?
Covered elsewhere recently:
Having children and loving them and raising them is the greatest thing in life (crushing your enemies, etc, etc, is a close second, though).

Spoken like a man.
He said having children, not giving birth to them. If you want to consider those hours, out of many years of parenthood, less than wonderful, that's your prerogative.
-
Or just make it so once earned, it can't be un-earned. That's really the bit that pissed me off.
Do you think if someone goes to the trouble of posting enough to get the rank, and then never posts again, he should still have TL3 powers years later?
-
Even if you only served for three weeks 50 years ago, you are still President of the United States and people address you as such. Damnit.
Try appointing a Supreme Court Justice after your three weeks and let me know how that works for you.
-
if you build a product for someone in C# and then leave the role, you expect to continue to have access to that C# code afterwards, be it either partially
Of course he does, you dumb fuck: he's the President!
-
And you could read them whenever you like.
He could also print them out and clutch the papers close to his shriveled heart, to try to keep it warm.
-
That's about the image I had in my head when I wrote that.
-

Fair enough, objection retracted.
-
Spoken like a man.
If you like I could check with my wife, but I'll bet she agrees.
Oh, wait, she had two, willingly, so I think I can skip the formality.

It's like becoming President of the United States. Even if you only served for three weeks 50 years ago, you are still President of the United States and people address you as such.
No. You are the former president. People still address you as President as a courtesy. You still have some perks — like free medical care, I believe — but you no longer have the authority or responsibilities of the office. You might manage to walk into the White House uninvited, but I wouldn't count on it. Trying to access classified information that you used to have access to is probably not going to be successful. As President, you had access to nuclear launch codes; as former President, not so much.
-
as former President, not so much.
Are you sure? We need a willing TDWTF'er to become a former U.S. President so we can confirm this.

I cannot think of any TDWTF'er I'd trust enough to vote for, although there are some that would do at least as well as some people who have been elected.

@blakeyrat for President. He's always right about everything ever, remember?
Also not my country.
-
I nominate blakey, just for the lulz.
Though I now live in a city, so the threat of nuclear attack is personally more meaningful than back when I lived between a few hay bales and a stop sign in Missouri, so my nomination is only in half-jest.
-
Arg, hanzo'd!

Just throwing in my $0.02:
My wife has willingly had three, and she's starting to talk about trying for a fourth (I'm not sure I'm ready for that).
-
@blakeyrat for President
He'd probably be better than the one we have now ...
Excuse me while I go vomit.
-
a fourth (I'm not sure I'm ready for that).
Two was quite enough for me (never mind my ex-wife). I don't much fancy being outnumbered.
-

TABLE_NOT_FOUND, surely?
-

Mommynesia is a real thing.
Seriously, though, in some ways I do envy my wife. She's had experiences with our kids that I never could have.
-

Like, a year or two ago: definitely. One hopes they've gotten their act together since then.
-

Based on recent events, I'm not entirely sure.

That's great news—it means you'd probably die within the first 5 minutes of a targeted nuclear attack, vaporized before you even knew what was going on. No need to bother with any of that tedious radiation sickness while starving to death in a lawless post-apocalyptic wasteland...
Filed under: although I heard that nuclear calamities make insects grow larger, and have lovely swing and big band soundtracks...
