In all honesty, I think this is what it is. Summer's wrapping up, people are away for Labo(u)r Day, school's beginning, it's the last month of the fiscal year for lots of places, and the football season is starting.

If I hadn't posted in that thread, then it would have become a pro-furry circlejerk, and then I would have been disappointed. It's a zero-sum game.

For what it's worth I was trying to word my post neutrally. In retrospect I can see how it looked more snarkily coy and I apologize for that.

Please explain to me how I was singling Ikarus out that does not amount to "Ikarus is the author of the post that you replied to."

You know, big picture, you're right. The majority of the thread was painted in broader strokes, and there's very few individuals who are specifically targetted in that thread - but I did feel that by opening with links to Icarus' journal and webcomic, the later arguments did come across as being personally directed.

We're diverging from topic, though. I'll just state that I agree with Ike's line of reasoning here and be done with it. At the end of the day, the posting frequency changes are more likely seasonal than anything else.

Just Labor day. Only in America do we celebrate Labor day in September, the rest of the world does it on May first. We changed the date because we wanted a day off but NO COMMIE MAN NO COMMIE.

It's in September here in Canada too (Because we absorb everything from America by osmosis).

I vote we change the name of September to Jesustember just to stick it to them!

All you need to know is that if you've ever done business with a mail order company I hate your guts.

For me it's just that I've shot my load.  I only have a few atrocity tourism interest areas - conservative nutters, religious nutters and furries, pretty much.  And I done made me a Conservapedia thread and a Naylor thread.  So basically at this point I could just keep updating the conservapedia thread with every new bit of idiocy I find, or stumble into other people's threads and make useless "HA HA YEAH THAT SURE IS MESSED UP" posts, and neither of those seems particularly useful.

Also happy 666th, Runic!

Somehow I managed to collapse the "this internet of ours" section and forgot it existed for like a week. In my defense it was a really stressful week.
