Chris, I don't understand why you feel so offended.


Look, I have done large lists like this when I was Class President. When you have nothing to say about someone you add a couple of extra lines that you mean as a joke or as something you really don't expect to be read. I read what he said about you and say that yes it didn't put you in the best light. But I really don't think it was malicous intent, just something to keep him interested in the project.

All you had to do was ask him to make a change or two and be done with it. It was something he did on his own time, and I guarantee the entire project was not an elaborate project to make fun of you.

Maybe I am missing something that was said or something that happened if the past. If so my apologies. Otherwise, can't we all just get along?

DC, no other Apolytoner ever attempted a list on such a scale. I think this is praiseworthy and I praise you for it.

Just one minor comment, you can leave out this phrase in my description "You can add this to your description: (or replace it, choose for yourself)"
It was just a note adressed to you.

Opinions, opinions.... Full PM-box? Change here!

Everyone seems to have a take on why I feel as i do, and why I shouldn't.

Well, let's clear it up, to end it.

I am not, nor have I ever been, an advacate of Post counts, titles, registration dates, lists, or any such other distinctions, outside of being just another poster.

In point of fact, I find people who think that an early registration date makes them special in some way, laughable and arrogant in the extreme. What you say determines who you are, not stupid titles and such.

That said, you couldn't offend me more then by calling me a spammer, as by definition, spamming is done to either:

a) Draw attention to one's self (which to me is childish in the context of spamming)

b) Attempting to get a higher post count, to either have a title, or a custom avatar, or both.

The second part, that probaly annoyed me more, is that my own words contredicted what the list said, right below it!

Another factor, was that even after I took the time to write out the corrections myself, they STILL wern't incorporated.

The most obvious in the registration date. Pointed this out THREE times now, but it remains the same.

Also, I'm not impressed with lists, even though all of you seem to be fasinated by them. I don't begrudge you your fun, I ask to be LEFT OUT OF THAT. It's that simple.

I hope this finally clears this up.

Ok. I'll add the other things to the list; I updated the original post because the update would have been to big to do here.

I think I have #1-25 nearly completed, all I have to fix are Shi's and some others suggestions for them.

Stefu- I added 1/4 of your corrections and wrote more about you.

You've really taken on a thankless task here, DarkCloud. Personally I'd have used the list as an excuse to grossly insult and libel everyone on it, but that'd because I lack your self-restraint.

Maybe someone ought to make that list, maybe Cecil in his EvC incarnation?

Anyways DC, great job... There are some things about my entry that could be changed but not enough to bother you

They were! I may not have gotten to them all, but I fixed your description!

DC can't do everything in a day! I have over 100 posters profiles to correct, you just have to wait in line for now, I will gladly fix your profile, but I haven't written up technophile yet and have other peoples' to correct.

I'll fix this when I can, did you want it changed to January 2001. Don't bother saying it here, I remember you told me when you registerd in the other thread.


---

Hueij- please list anything- I'll fix it eventually

Bugs- Thank you. More than one poster came to mind who I would like to insult when I started the list... (NO, NOT CHRIS OR ECTHELION)
But, I didn't want to seem to hate anyone on Apolyton.

Here is mine. Increase Your PM Length

77. Bolo
Former Usernames: Always Bolo
Famous DL's?: Blacktide, Bismark, and Serpico
Real Name: Withheld
Age Group: 20
Nationality: Canadian
Lives: Alberta, Canada
Registered: before 2-15-99
Had/Has A Website: Nope
Contribution to Apolyton: A member of the PROT, I was the drug dealer and Kingpin of the PROT Drug Empire and Associates.

Description:
Quite honestly I have never read the "Bolo" books, I cannot even remember how I stumbled upon this handle.
I am most definitly a Canadian, I hail from the fine city of Calgary in the even finer province of Alberta, the closest thing to God's Country this side of heaven.
I have been described by some as the Canadian Texan, that explains my political beliefs far better than I could or would want to.
Blacktide was a joint creation of YYYH and mine back in May 1999, we were going to make an anti-semite but decided to make him a Frog hater because it would be much less controversial, besides Joe was around so that niche was filled. During July 1999 Blacktide was banned many times for swearing and cursing his head off when they permabanned YYYH and Spink. Later when YYYH was gone I decided to start making up fake histories about how the Frogs would surrender to anything that could breath.
I stopped posting in Apolyton sometime near the end of 1999 as I was quite involved in Thirdwar and found there were far too many newbies around for my comfort. I occasionally posted for Reismark's football pool but for all intensive purposes I stopped posting here. Now I mostly lurk a few minutes a day and if i see a thread I like I read it, but I rarely post.
I can be found at the Frontier these days, with YYYH, Coug, Comrade Dan, Evil Capitalist, Mao, Polaris, Fjorxc, Ghen, and a bunch of other vets who left after Stories went the way of the dinosaur here at Apolyton.

DC< you might want to change my description. Milo has vanished mysterously from the Frontier, and we now have a saying "to pull a Milo" means to vanish into night and fog (not literally) BTW, anyone know when Polaris is returning? I'm getting anxious for BNG to start.
