'cuz it's one of my go-to's, right? So I finish up, and get accosted by this drunk guy because it's about Sandy Hook. At first I think he's just being an asshole, but then I realize, holy shit, the song is about Sandy Hook.

Yeah, I knew it was about a school shooting, it just sucks that I can't do that one until that particular drama cools down a bit.

I just noticed it took Sene 18 hours to infract mastergee's post on E_R's helpdesk (the one where he called teia "he".) Despite the heavy mod/global/admin activity in those 18 hours, nobody picked up on this bit of trolling - which was apparently so unacceptably hurtful that it deserved a suspension - for nearly a day. It's almost like they went back over the thread with a fine-tooth comb looking for things to infract (but obviously that's crazy talk because the staff are way too busy to do stuff like that.)

Sure if masterbating at the office counts as being a productive member of the work force.

Also, can somebody please translate what Azrael is trying to say here? I've read it about three times and I'm still no closer to understanding.

*nods* Alright.

Can we all just concede that procedural fairness is not the staff's strong suit, and probably won't be for the immediate future?

There was a time when there was the possibility that talking about this enough would empower people who were good at that to ascend to positions of responsibility and whip things into shape. That time has past - a lot of those people have made it into those positions, and either left or are still there and are slowing becoming burnt out.

In time, when people have had a chance to regenerate their stores of patience, and the personnel situation has the chance to bring in new recruits who have an affinity at handling this sort of thing, it may be helpful to reopen the discussion. But as is, I
don't see how we're going to transition from this debate into a productive end-game. It seems to be having a counter-productive effect, if anything.

Question: In the song Levon, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics: "And the New York Times said God is dead, and the war`s begun...". I was curious if that was the actual headline, if the New York Times was the publication in question, and what event sparked this headline...
Answer: I'm not sure exactly if it was a real headline or just something Bernie made up. It would make sense that the war he's talking about would be the Second World War. The family would go like this: Alvin Tostig, father of Levon, father of Jesus. The song having been written in the early 70s, it would be logical that Levon would have been born around the beginning of World War 2. As for God being dead, I don't know. Again, it might have been something Bernie made up.

Fuck that, arrest Bernie Taupin for the murder of God!

Every species can smell its own extinction. The last ones left won't have a pretty time of it. And in ten years, maybe less, the human race will just be a bedtime story for their children. A myth, nothing more
