So I guess I'd need to prove my name? Desiging Noise seems to be a bit of an abstract concept. Hell, my parents don't even understand what I do and they've seen my shows.

I count Wolfram, Jessica, ita, msbelle. That's four.

The abstract concept was a stupid extension, and I withdraw it.

It's decidedly un-fun.

Eh, lately that's the direction of the whole board it seems.

Thanks for clarification, Betsy!

For the record, I think there's a big difference between pretending to be someone else and making a joke. I thought the Universe and March were funny. Obviously it pushes buttons for some people, but some of the other jokes and topics of discussion push buttons for me, too. I'm just sad that something that was obviously intended to be just for fun is turning into a debate. I don't really have much more to say about it than that.

The first the universe post said "long-time lurking newbie".... which made me assume it was true. I didn't realize it was really a sockpuppet until the end. Saying newbie and not being one bothered me--but then, Hec's going to sell me swampland soon. He promised.

I see major differences between boring-to-some topics of conversation, and sockpuppets. But I don't want to be cross-posting, so I'll wait for Lightbulbs.

Eh. It turns into a debate and enough people don't find it strange and unsettling -- it'll keep going.

It's a buzzkill when people are bothered by things you enjoy when everyone's supposed to be playing in the same sandbox, sure. But when it's more than a few people, it happens.

I don't think there's anyone here who doesn't scroll past stuff that bores or irritates them. Everyone has a limit, though, and it's not like this hasn't come up before.
