Who wouldn't have occasion to use Father Fishbone, the halfbakery confessional? Father fishbone is an hb moniker which doesn't need a password, under which any 'baker can post confessions of halfbaked vendettas and misdemeanors.
Amen.-- Fishrat, Jan 14 2008 [+] I think. Except that I would not make it "password free". Instead, I would make it accept any valid halfbaker's password - this would prevent random people from strolling in an using it.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 14 2008 Good plan. Although having an account on the halfbakery hardly procludes you from being 'random', in my experience.-- Fishrat, Jan 14 2008 I'm trying to figure out if "procludes" is the opposite of "precludes" and, if so, whether I agree....-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 14 2008 Yes, yes. What this site needs is more talk about vendettas and misdemeanors and other social chitchat. Because the troll that does that in a new account every two months just somehow isn't disruptive and idiotic enough.-- jutta, Jan 14 2008 Forgive me father, for I have roused jutta.
I agree that having an anonymous 'baker posting amok through the place would be annoying and distracting (and confusing, as s/he might often appear to be arguing with him/herself). However, I don't see why this idea should be a cardinal sin if Father Fishbone's comments could be limited to one place?
But then, I'm not a moderator, and I don't have to deal with that crap, so fair play to you.-- Fishrat, Jan 14 2008 Isn't the plural "vendettae"? But point taken.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jan 14 2008 Ha! [MaxwellBuchanan] belongs to the heathen who think that the plural of "vendetta" is "vendettae"! We true believers shall hunt him down and persecute him, yea, even unto the tenth generation!-- hippo, Jan 15 2008 We are all for hunting down and persecuting, we have the tar and feathers and the firewood for the burning .... what's he supposed to have done ? Never mind, burn him anyway.......-- 8th of 7, Jan 15 2008 <from the shadows>Psst, [Maxwell], this ticking duck may help...</fts>-- pertinax, Jan 15 2008 Vendettas? Misdemeanors?! I think this was the Happy Cuddle Club, and everyone got along just fine!
Oh, wait, UnaBubba came back. Maybe you're right...-- DrCurry, Jan 15 2008 "Forgive me father for I have sinned the sin of agitating incalcitrant newbies, and agressively persecuting trolls and halfwits." "Did you lambaste posts with no spacing or punctuation?" "No" "Did you, did you, {mark-for-deletion} <eight how's your father's, eleven mary's suitably laced> an idea based on some movie or video game reference?" "No, but thanks for the leads!"-- 4whom, Jan 15 2008 random, halfbakery
