<Rakso> Hey Meridian
<Rakso> We just noticed a trend
<Meridian> hi oscar
<Rakso> BD Maintainers are never American
<Rakso> Meet Eldain from Switzerland
<Rakso> My new partner
<Meridian> hi dude
<Eldain> seems so
<Rakso> So the T2 Mill gets a Swiss guy
<Rakso> The world's traditional neutral country
<Rakso> The T1 Mill gets a Filipno
<Eldain> strange, isn't it?
<Rakso> A country sick of war
<Rakso> After being colonized by the Americans
<Rakso> And being used as Japan's WWII stomping ground after Pearl
<Rakso> The Trade Mills get a Londoner
<Rakso> Whose role in World Poltics
<Meridian> and the site is owned by americans
<Rakso> Is to cheer for the Americans ;)
<Meridian> lol makes sense :)
<Eldain> but shadow is american?
<Rakso> Yes
<Rakso> But he has to import foreign talent to keep the peace ;)
<Meridian> all the foreigners get to do their thing, but in the end its the americans in charge, nyet? ;)
<Rakso> American maintainers have too high a bull tolerance ;)
<Eldain> :)
<Rakso> Yes, because we make them believe that
<Rakso> And blame everything on them when the shit hits the fan
<Meridian> hehe

Actually, my method of maintenance was deemed too harsh by some. I think the current maintainers allow people to get away with way too much. Admittedly, I only read every post on the Rumor Mill, and most of the things that seem off-topic in the T1 Mill (since I'm not a big fan of the format) since those off-topic posts should be in the Rumor Mill anyway. Case in point: The CHILL post that I still haven't figured out what it's meant to be, but says mostly "TESTIFY" at the bottom. Most of those responses would have been zapped long ago for irrelevancy. Ah well.

Sorry, man. After you left, someone lost the Hitler MP3s, so I couldn't listen enough.

hey, rakso, it seems that you should be a bit stricter:)
don't let them get away with it!!!

about your hitler thing:
see: i don't write "NOT FUNNY"
though from an austrian (or german) point of view it would have been my duty to do so.

By NaClz (Saltz) on Wednesday, November 28, 2001 - 03:37 pm:

I'm neither Austrian nor German, but I think Jewish will do.

NOT FUNNY.

Especially since Miser was calling us Magic Nazi's the other day.

Sheesh...and I thought MY jokes were offensive...

Some people thought my quit was offensive. Prudes.

By Azhrei (Azhrei) on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 01:18 pm:

Yeah, Rakso's got a widely fluctuating realm of sensitivity. :P

I could be a moderator! I'm from the US. Someone tell how to moderate.

By Raoul, Supposed Model of Courtesy (Raoul) on Thursday, November 29, 2001 - 01:44 pm:

hey, azhrei is back!!!:)

Yeah, but Hitler's been dead for yours and you make jokes about a hunred-man terrorist organization ruling my country...

By Raoul, Supposed Model of Courtesy (Raoul) on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 12:00 am:

Yeah, but you make jokes about a (dead) guy, who is responsible for the death of lets say millions of people, who were for example maybe grandmothers or grandfathers even of members and visitors of BDmill.
maybe you aren't always right.

By Serra (Serra) on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 06:59 am:

umm, im american...and if you haven't heard, possibly the new rumor mill maintainer...so for those worried about people getting away with too much, you know how delete-happy I am on my mill.

By Rakso, Patriarch & Rules Ayatollah (Rakso) on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 08:50 am:

Heh.

And guess who *recommended* you, chief? ;)

(laughs maniacally)

By Azhrei (Azhrei) on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 09:14 am:

Dammit dammit dammit, stop making me agree with Raoul! I HATE when that happens.

By Raoul, Supposed Model of Courtesy (Raoul) on Friday, November 30, 2001 - 10:33 am:

poor boy.
but isn't it better than agreeing with rakso:)

By lobo on Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 10:28 pm:

I disagree and agree with both Rakso and Raoul. I agree neither reference is funny. But I disagree that because one may be a "lesser" evil somehow makes it OK. Didn't your mommas teach you that two wrongs don't make a right?

By Tracer Bullet, the DanDan Man (Tracer) on Sunday, December 02, 2001 - 11:39 pm:

Oh, we're all evil, so there is no such thing as wrong or right, just wrong, right?

By Demon Lord Gix (Gix) on Monday, December 03, 2001 - 06:32 pm:

Well put
