I removed several posts and edited one due to violations of the "Be Nice" rules:

- Do not personally attack individuals. If you are engaging in a vigorous debate about a passionate subject, then debate the subject on its own merits, and not the other individual. Messages that contain only attacks may be deleted outright by forum administrators, and the person posting them may be muted on the thread. People who continue this behaviour, despite administrator warnings, may begin to lose access to forums for longer periods of time, until it effectively becomes permanent.

If you have a problem with this, please open a ticket with the developers as requested.

If I exclaimed that you're a "party pooper," does it count as violating that rule? Not really doing it, just curious.

I think I would have difficulty justifying that as an "attack" to Inc.

Oh wow, that dangerously sounds like you're giving everyone permission to call you "party pooper" whenever they want. Don't worry, I won't be one of them.

Mi5 is nowhere to be seen, HTR. He's got much bigger things to worry about than your skateboard stickers.

He has many, many things to answer for, such as why Trump is acting like a self-absorbed 3 year old throwing a tantrum instead of performing like the world's greatest dealmaker we've been promised amidst this government shutdown fiasco.

Oh yeah, there's that golfing thing, too.

I don't see how exactly I'd give stickers away,I'm just a little bummed out its all anee-may shit.

"I don't see how exactly I'd give stickers away,"

Well, there is this secret government program that Trump hasn't managed to shut down yet called the United States Postal Service, which helps to facilitate such things. Using it requires tricking your target into revealing the True Name of their place of residence (preferably through a private channel so as to minimize competition from other would-be senders and interference from meddling moderators who might otherwise defecate upon your party). Then you simply envelope your payload within a paper sheath, inscribe the aforementioned True Name upon the sheath's surface, and attach the appropriate number of USPS Access Stickers (you can buy these, as well as the paper sheathes and other such paraphernalia, at your local USPS clubhouse). Once the package is prepared, you simply place it into an officially sanctioned package receptacle, raise the receptacle's summoning flag (if it has one), and then wait for the government agent to arrive.

Of course, some people don't believe in supporting socialist organizations. If you are one of those people, there are alternative privately run equivalents you can use. They still require paper or cardboard sheathes and the True Name of your target's location, but they don't use the cheap access stickers. Instead of the colorful images of the USPS, these organizations use arcane sequences of darkness and light to encode your authorization token, which you must pay a sizable fee to obtain.

Since it turns out that Mi5 isn't actually dead yet, I thought I would post this Mi5-relevant twitter thread.

Hopefully it will bring him back into the conversation to point out that infowars is actually a leftist disinformation campaign, and that the "real truth" is even deeper and darker! Exciting!

You broke him. He can no longer offer a coherent argument so now he's moved to posting Alex Jones memes. I can't honestly decide whether that's above or below posting the anime gifs.

This article about nazis from ProPublica is pretty good, and interesting!

Meanwhile, on youtube, the infowars channel has managed to get a second strike(pictire of text) against their channel for posting videos called "The Truth About Crisis Actors In The Florida Shootings" and "What Is To Blame For The Florida High School Shooting."

That puts infowars one strike away from being banned from youtube, and from youtube losing out on that sweet sweet far-right ad revenue. Clearly, for Alex Jones, the best solution is to post a video tearfully whining about how a teen hurt his feelings and should therefore come debate him, bro, to defend the first amendment. (No, I also haven't yet figured out how the first amendment applies in any way here.)

It's a sad day when even a soul-less money-sucking entity like youtube can take action against this sort of thing, and I can't even bait Mi5 into talking about his favourite topic. :(
