Any OCers forums regulars here?
 
I logged into my account today for the first time in months and had 3 new PMs from a moderator complaining about the quote in my signature and then eventually letting me know that they deleted it. I'll be damned if I can remember what the quote was though. I was told it constituted harassment, but I don't think I would have quoted anything that wasn't said by someone else on their forums. And can I harass them by quoting something they said?

Anyway does anyone know what my sig was? Those PMs are from last September and I vaguely remember some of the usual soap opera but it's all so fuzzy.

Oh well at least I'm not banned or anything lol.

PS this isn't an attempt to start a flame war or more forum drama. I'm just hoping someone can tell me what my inflammatory signature was.

Also if anyone has seen my car....

Yeah the mods at OC are pretty much Ned Flanders types with regards to language. I had a post edited for the word 'pissed'.

I wonder how they would have responded to this thread:

eh no worries it's their sandbox and their prerogative. I just wish I could remember what I quoted that was so inflammatory :)

I _think_ it was to do with that big imog thread, if you remember... quite possibly Oni and 'if you want physics, go elsewhere'...

ring any bells?

This following is my profile on a programming site. It used to be a fun website to visit ion a regular basis, but the thought police have taken over, and I regularly get a verbal thrashing over it, and usually by the people that have joined over the last couple of years. I regularly hrangue .net and VB programmers, slam IE at every chance, and I attack absurdity with vengeful enthusiasm. The guy that runs the place suggested once that I change it, and I told him that wouldn't be happening.

I'm a barbarian, and I don't rightly care if anyone agrees with my politics. I am as polite as I can be to most folks, but if someone steps on their love sausage, I'm gonna point and laugh at them (and I would expect the same from them). I'm also the most self-deprecating person you'll ever meet.

John Simmons / Outlaw Programmer

I've been a programmer since 1982 with experience in Pascal, and C++ (both self-taught). I've been writing Windows programs since 1991 almost exclusively with Visual C++ and MFC.

My weakest point is that my moments of clarity are too brief to hold a meaningful conversation that requires more than 30 seconds to complete. Thankfully, grunts of agreement are all that is required to conduct most discussions without committing to any particular belief system.

Legal Disclaimer: I originally had a really long (and much funnier) disclaimer, but I grew tired of it. Here's the new one...

1) If I do or say something that irritates, annoys or pisses you off, so what? Do you think I really care or that it will somehow ruin my day?

2) If you're not an American, you're a "foreigner".

3) If you're a "foreigner" and you work for a company that is out-sourcing work that Americans used to do, you suck.

4) If you're an American that thinks out-sourcing is a good thing or doesn't hurt Americans, you suck, too.

5) I don't speak any language but english. If you can't or won't adapt to that fact, you can piss off for all I care.

6) I do not respond with a civil tone to unregistered CP users. (we have a real problme with unregistered users creating havoc in the forums).

---------------------------------------

I know it sounds a little gruff, but I really am a good guy when you get to know me. I merely have a low tolerance for absurdity.
