I must be honest, it often depends upon my mood. If I see goons doing what I just gave a detention to a 13-year-old for doing, I tend to be slightly less forgiving. This could be why I probate for "human being", while other mods give it a pass. Maybe I think you can do better than children.




Or maybe I'm just mad with power. Take your pick.

I think that you're giving goons too much credit if you think that we're able to behave better than 13 year olds.

There is a very good chance I have been teaching since before you were born. Unlike other people we could name, I think harming kids is gross and disgusting, and the penalties these crimes carry should be carried out swiftly and without mercy. I've worked with lots of kids who have been abused in many different ways, and the effects are always devastating to the kids. It is heartbreaking to see children who had potential have their lives ruined by some idiotic fuckwad who decides they can satisfy themselves at the expense of some kid's future.

I was actually surprised to see that he had been banned. I figured he did something dumb like trying to explain that curling should be treated like an actual sport in SAS. I was equally surprised to find that he had, in fact, offered himself as tribute.

Hello, everyone!

I'm back from my alternate thread, where we raised millions of dollars to help homeless vets. It turns out that virtually all animal doctors have nice houses, so the excess money will be shunted into the "buy genesplicer a new wing for his mansion" fund.

So, what's been going on over here? Talking about my amazing second place finish?

Any questions I can answer for you?

What is your username from?

Long, long ago, in 1976, I was part of my high school's crack computer team. Our school didn't actually have a computer. We had a teletype machine and a 300 baud modem. With this, we connected to the MIT mainframe and assisted seniors in finding colleges that had the progams they were interested in taking. During downtime, I figured out something. We used numerical codes to navigate, so I decided to see what other codes would do. After finding very little of interest, I managed to stumble upon the complete list of codes.

With this I was able to enter into parts of the server I was not authorized to enter. I managed to figure out a few passwords (not nearly as secure as they are today) and accessed even more. About this time, we had to do a report on some topic in biology. I decided to wow my teacher, and do my report on genetic engineering. This was a new technology (the first experiments had been done in 1973), and MIT was at the forefront. Since I had access to their primitive email system, I sent a few messages to the grad students asking questions. Eventually they figured out I was not an MIT student and questioned me. I explained what I had done, and the students approached a professor. They gave me limited access to their mainframe, in exchange for me not trying to crack the system any further. Quite a coup for a freshman high school kid.

The professor set up my account, with the tounge-in-cheek name "Genesplicer" (actually, it was "gensplcr", because login names were all 8 characters)

So, in December of this year, I will haved used the name "genesplicer" on various websites, etc, on the ARPANET, BBSs and the Internet, for 40 years.
