- IntronExon 9y agoI wish I hadn’t called it accurately, but yeah, the pattern once seen is hard to unsee. Taken individually it can be mistaken for sincerity gone awry, but in an ensemble over time, boom. The system here works really well for a lot of things; spam is often DOA for example! The mods though, can’t change the character of the people themselves. I try to tell myself that a lot of the predictable, negative outcomes amount to blowback in the face of real and inevitable change though. I hope I’m right about that too.
- robotresearcher 9y agoI learned something from you today, thanks. It's like putting on the glasses in They Live. I commented on the other thread to give you props. For what it's worth.
