What you'd do if you had a modicum of sense and PR-skills, is it:

a) Immediately delete the whole thing, issue an apology (not a mealy-mouthed "heh sorry if you were offended") and own up to your stupidity but press on the fact that you've changed and learend from your mistakes?

b) Tweet "heh, look at my funny old site", keep it up, and then issue the worlds worst non-apology after people keep pressing you on it?

Also, it's possible that Sandi was the reason J How wasn't hired to fix their problems with the Persistent Universe. :laffo:




Ah now i remember the dude, that was one interesting story.
He also pointed out how some new job openings where listed, specifically for a certain type of server architecture. Which he said, if they still haven't found someone for that they are indeed screwed... well that was the gist.

These are 'Pecan Pie' scones which just means chopped pecans in the dough and caramel folded in after everything is mixed and rolled out. I'm to lazy to write the full recipe but it's from Rose Levy Barenbaum's Bread Bible (amazing book get it immediately if you want to bread)

Guy from AA was outed as a pedo (grooming a 15y old for sex), (almost) everyone was "gently caress this guy"
Guild leader tried to sweep it under the rug, because the guy gave the the guild wool. Also it "didn't even happen ina merica"

Ben-Ghazi is sad proof that humanity is doomed because we too easily allow ourselves to be led to hate. Derek Smart, self-proclaimed old-school internet warlord is leading the charge on this hate offensive and I wonder how he can get anyone to enlist? This is the same Derek Smart who appeared with Vox Day on a webinar.

Vox Day, if you don't know, is a racist misogynist filth lord by the name of Theodore Beale whose only claim to fame is being kicked out of Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America for trying to hijack the Hugos to include more right-wing writers and suppress female and minority writers.

Vox Day wrote a book, “SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police” yet here is Derek Smart leading a thought police campaign against Ben Lesnick for racism. Bah! Derek Smart will gladly sit down and talk nice with racists if they stroke his ego. Ben Lesnick doesn't; he can't!; look at those tiny T-rex arms, they're barely serviceable for basic hygiene, how's Ben gonna jerk off Derek's massive ego-cock?

You know what's the really sad part. I can't link to that Vox Day webinar that Derek was on. Let's hear Derek himself explain it:

D_Smart posted:

There are no "page hits". It's a live webinar. And it's not recorded for posting anywhere, since that's not how those work. So if you don't attend, you won't know what's being said. :(

Yet, I can read all of Ben Lesnick's poo poo FROM YEARS AGO!!! Ben Lesnick, whose job it is to censor people, has more content posted than the “free-speech” proponents Derek Smart and Vox Day?! Ben Lesnick even has a link to the original usenet thread where his Wing Commander guild formed. Sure, the page containing the link holds this gem:

"Loaf" is one of the Tiger Claw pilots in Peter Telep's Pilgrim Truth. For much of the book I'm suspected of beating Freddie Prinze Jr. with a pipe in a hate crime, but it eventually turns out I didn't. So, it's not really true to life.”

but at least Ben Lesnick acknowledges the existence of hate crimes. I can't say the same for Vox Day!

I think what's happening now is a release of anger that has been suppressed for far too long. Derek's decision to go on Vox Day was not popular:

MyPants posted:

You have no problems with someone who thinks that you and I are subhuman trash because of our race?

That's really dumb! You should have a problem with this! How do you not have a problem with this? You are going to change no one's mind by talking to this guy. How do you not see this? You're only going to hurt yourself and give him a platform. I'm sure CIG is salivating at you being so gosh dang dense. This is dumb no matter how you look at it.

Derek's response

D_Smart posted:

I disagree. And it's HIS platform. I got invited.

D_Smart posted:

I am just going to say it. I love all of you here. Simple reason being, even when we all don't agree on everything, even when poo poo goes to South real fast, it's just us. Remember, I was around back when Lowtax and me were, well, on opposite sides of the same retarded coin with both sides the same.

That said, I have read everyone's objections and while they are appreciated, I find them to be unfounded (I'm not going to say ridiculous, given that, well, this is the SA forum. everything is retarded) and without (I'm not doing this to support VD's opinions about anything, because those opinions are his) merit.

I will be fine. If nothing else, you all should come because you will be supporting me as I find yet another outlet to tell this Star Citizen story as well as the reasons I'm still engaged in it. So why not look at it that way?

“Yet another outlet to tell this Star Citizen story?” he said. Ha! As if the gaming press was falling all over itself to speak with Derek, because on April 14th Mr. Smart was like, “So, to all you “media” who now want to talk, here is my response: F*CK YOU.”

Ben-Ghazi happens and now Derek is all about, “I'm writing a blog. Then I'm going to send it over to @BreitbartNews and @BreitbartTech with everything wrapped up in a nice package.”

Please don't let Derek get away with this bullshit. Derek's playing both sides of the retarded coin on this one and he must be punished. Derek doesn't even have the god drat courtesy to update the OP when he's calling for someone's job!

Is it true, are we the real pedos? :ohdear:

I know very little about this whole thing and what I've heard has come from this thread.

But seriously though, accusing the SC thread goons as being the same group as the MMO goons is like saying r/dereksmart is comprised of the same redditors who were regulars on r/jailbait. I've only heard stories about how the incident went down but Imp Zone tore into the archeage goons over it and there's much more observable overlap between the goons making fun of star citizen and the goons who went after the pedo than goons who defended him.

For starters we have Eonwe, they don't.

And to put it in perspective, I can honestly say that while I sympathize with Postapocalyptic_sky for their experiences with the archeage goon guild I view star citizen backers in as dim a view, morally, as I do the archeage goons. I can't really speak for the thread but I'd wager nobody else would complain if you were to share that sentiment as representative of the thread's overall mood. see: right now, with Ben-ghazi Basically, we're on the side of those goons who were trying to clean up this poo poo and have never really changed course from that, while Postapocalyptic_sky has basically become that which they hate, a defender of a toxic, public embarrassment.

The post about the Lauresh banning incident made me dig back through the relevant thread. Turns out Lauresh was a shitbird that reported a couple hundred people with rude/profane report messages and the probation was probably warranted. The ladies org thread being closed is entirely unjustifiable Lesnick shittery, though. I concede that I was incorrect in my previous recollection of these events.
