Because SG is town.

I'm sorry, it looks like the secret is out. I hoped you wouldn't find out this way. Perhaps it's better if you knew, but, if only we could live in happier times where kids were still kids, and life was easy - I kept telling myself that what you didn't know wouldn't hurt you. But now the awful truth is out, and I'm forced to confess...
I'm wrong sometimes.
I am sorry that I was wrong about Netlava's alignment. I think I'm right about some other ones, though.
Also re: farkshinsoup, the way that farside22 did this felt markedly different than how others have done it - it felt deliberate.
Walnut wrote:Thesp, what is your opinion on Tinsley? How about on Charter?
I think Tinsley is scum. I think charter is pro-town and not thinking very well.

No, actually, I don't. At the very least, there is a "can" in there which makes it at least technically true. I find the reactions you get out of people on supposedly non-critical discussions are informative.
Please don't patronize me. I don't think me being here since 2004 makes me any more right. (I think there are other things that make me more right.
) I recognize I may be wrong about the latter. Also, as a counter-factual:
Skullcrusher Mountain
by Jonathan Coulton
Welcome to my secret lair on Skullcrusher Mountain
I hope that you’ve enjoyed your stay so far
I see you’ve met my assistant Scarface
His appearance is quite disturbing
But I assure you he’s harmless enough
He’s a sweetheart, calls me master
And he has a way of finding pretty things and bringing them to me
I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet
I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you
But I get the feeling that you don’t like it
What’s with all the screaming?
You like monkeys, you like ponies
Maybe you don’t like monsters so much
Maybe I used too many monkeys
Isn’t it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet
Picture the two of us alone inside my golden submarine
While up above the waves my doomsday squad ignites the atmosphere
And all the fools who live their foolish lives may find it quite explosive
But it won’t mean half as much to me if I don’t have you here
You know it isn’t easy living here on Skullcrusher Mountain
Maybe you could cut me just a little slack
Would it kill you to be civil?
I’ve been patient, I’ve been gracious
And this mountain is covered with wolves
Hear them howling, my hungry children
Maybe you should stay and have another drink and think about me and you
I’m so into you
But I’m way too smart for you
Even my henchmen think I’m crazy
I’m not surprised that you agree
If you could find some way to be
A little bit less afraid of me
You’d see the voices that control me from inside my head
Say I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet
I shouldn’t kill you yet
It's difficult to get to the useful stuff when it's buried in crap that doesn't pertain to the town's interests. (Even if Jonathan Coulton is hysterical.) Scum do this to weigh down re-reads and make it hard to wade through to find the useful stuff. Town unwittingly do it thinking ti gets them somewhere.
There is a point of diminishing returns to posting.
At some point, the useful information begins to be drowned out amongst the garbage. Forgive me if I'm terse at times, I'm tryign to avoid hitting this point of diminishing returns.
And Walnut, I didn't think the rest of your post was worth commenting further on. I still don't.
