Some of the best stuff from opinion has been gathered by Olin himself, here: http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/opinion.html http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/shivers/opinion.html All up it has the general feel of coming from a magical time before the invention of Acceptable Use Policies, anti-vilification policies, lawyers combing through everything that happens on campus and sensitivity in general. An intro here from the above link, by Olin, quoting others: My posts aren't quite that gamy, but don't say I didn't warn you. It's the nature of the medium. To set context, the following quotes are a scattered selection taken from postings made by people other than myself during 1987. ``I think I would be much happier if the underlying structure of the universe were significantly different.'' ``I believe that within our lifetimes it will be common to see people not just hopping but hovering and flying down the street to the store.'' ``Some where in its machinations, the library computer, or some other administration machine, has got the idea that I am the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Me. Really! What is worse is that these bastards, with whom I am confused, owe the library $750.00.'' ``For about the past year (give or take a factor of two) I've been having a fair amount of fantasies about doing it with women who are very facially ugly, but have large, firm tits.'' ``I was booted from the girl scouts for `not being the right kind of girl for scouting.''' ``Sometimes I want to kill everyone that doesn't think like me +/- some percentage of error.'' ``So tell me, how is using a sheep condom different than fucking one? Nope, sorry you can't screw a sheep, but if you kill it, and remove everything but the large intestine, that's ok. Riiight.'' ``The most gross food I ever ate was raw human flesh.'' ``I don't have an ice cube's chance in hell of finding lifelong happiness unless I can find a man as ugly as myself.'' ``Most people who don't use drugs are assholes'' ``I'd like my chance to pound you into a greasy pile of shit more closely resembling your personality'' ``I think $1 million is a lot for the life of a child!'' ``I think reading/posting on opinion is excellent foreplay, it kind of randomizes things: you can end up with a Muller story and get really turned on and end up screwing on top of the refrigerator, or you can read a Dippolitto or Sun post and feel like you're getting raped in a turkish prison by someone whose friendliest sex-toy is a cattle prod coated with vaseline.'' ``I decided some time ago that when I finally go over the edge I am going to start by killing as many insurance people as possible before the state police can put enough bullets in me to stop me.'' ``Given that justices of the Supreme Court receive lifetime appointments, I am completely against Bork's appointment. It seems like a big mistake to me to have someone so ugly making such important decisions.'' ``Having tried it both ways, I've found that it's a lot easier to bring it off on a big Steinway.'' ``Often when I hear someone flaming about English usage peeves, I get the definite feeling that this someone is massaging his balls and stroking his big, hard penis all the while thinking: `Hah, hah, that stupid asshole could be as big as me if he'd just use the fucking English language correctly.'''
