You don't need to be important to be a victim of government mind control -- even fifty year old retired men living in trailer homes can be victims of satellite turn signal sabotage.

How is the new album, jc? I probably won't be able to get it for a while.

it is probably the best album that's going to be out this year.
Tool is slowing progressing in terms of style, and this is just another step foward in the direction they've been heading.
if you liked the last one more than the first one, you'll like this the best.

My normal day is being disparaged, disdained, and almost challenged to a fight by provocateurs, mostly crimnal types. This forces the beam operators to keep torturing me, thought they really don't seem to want to half the time.
Pat: I don't see why you think that Matt's doing something nefarious here. Nothing interesting going on at all.
Comrade Fuller: I thought it was *your* turn to keep the Liberal Conspiracy Mind Control Beams on McGroin today. It's your head if he gets loose and exposes us to The Right Thinking People Everywhere.

The original version of the following was more acidic, but I'm trying to play nice.
The guidelines of MeFi specify that personal attacks on anyone for purposes of trolling are not to be tolerated. Pat, that fits your post here, and probably fits the posts that led to your alleged banishment. I once dared Matt to ban me, and he did not. Lord knows I gave him good reason, so if he DID ban you, I bet you deserved it.
You're acting like a baseball coach kicking dirt on an umpire. If you think you're making any points that will matter, you are not. Your use of fascism as a derogatory accusation is without teeth. I've disagreed with Matt on occasion, but to call him a fascist? You obviously either do not know Matt at all, or you need to look up the word in a dictionary. Perhaps both. Your approach belittles your attempts, and if you can't play by the rules of this sandbox, it is in your best interests to go find a sandbox that runs by rules which you can better tolerate. You're being little more than vaguely amusing, and your entertainment factor is rapidly wearing thin.
I'm trying to be helpful to you here, Pat. Quit while you're behind.

If Jakob is God, I'm going to become a Satanist. Or, worship the mind-control aliens.

The Ashcroft thread has me goin today, but....
Is this much weirder than people believing in, basically, ANY religion? People like this seem off their rocker, as it were, but if he believed that there are magical people watching his every move, we wouldn't think twice.

Yeah there is aaron, see metatalk. But if there wasn't, wouldn't it just make the whole day a little more surreal?

I don't know about you, but I think I'm a victim of a mind control attempt after trying to read the "word at a time" DHTML bit on their page.

pssst, everybody.
Next time, when aaron isn't looking, we'll pretend like somethings going on, when really it isn't, like we all know something he doesn't, and we'll tease him, and stuff.
And then we'll go "(pause to build tension) Aww, we were just kidding!" and let him in on it, and we'll all have a good laugh and we'll all (aaron included) go home with smiles on our faces. "What a good day it was on metafilter!" we'll say to our significant others.
A good day indeed.
