Don't do this to yourself... So, are you saying your path to fortune (and maybe fame???) is to compile discussions from KF.C and sell them? Wow, I would have kept that one to myself before someone steals it. Dude, there's no way you ever make a lot of money on anything unless you get lucky on a quick pick ticket. Also, nice catch on my typing "your" instead of "you". Dang, I'm such an 2314. I'm not taking myself too serious(ly) now or when I pointed out why your original post was not well thought out. You're naive to think what someone writes on Facebook, Twitter, etc. is private and that Freedom of Speech will fully protect them from any backlash associated from making stupid comments and that's all I was originally trying to point out. I still have no idea what you meant by the glass house comment...
Good gosh where do I start?
You are a total idiot, fool.
I'll work backwards.
"Glass house" refers to a public figure who is always watched and anything he/she says or does is made public either by newspaper, TV or these gay, sophomoric social networking sites.
Personally, as a media member, I have been taught (especially when I worked and lived in small towns) that anything I say at the grocery store or where ever will be looked upon as something that came out of the mouth of an employee of the newspaper (or radio station when that was applicable) instead of just from the mouth of (2314). That is what "glass house" means. I thought anyone educated would know this.
And about the beginning of your rant - I am talking about a work of fiction. I have this idea to write a fiction book called "Message Board Murder."
The main plot line will be a retired Army Colonel gets talked into posting on his favorite college football team's message board, but gets sucked in by the "board clown" and spends most of his day stalking the clown's posts. The Colonel is up in age and his health is failing, and he goes into a stage of dementia and begins to plot how to find the clown and kill the clown. But, others want to kill the clown as well. Another story line has a computer geek who gets so infuriated with the clown that he also plots ways of getting away with murder, albeit from a more intellectual side rather than the brute the Colonel wishes to inflict on the clown. I may or may not steer the plot to those two in a race to kill the clown - I can go many ways with this. Another plot line deals with infidelity (a side plot not involving the main characters) of two posters who after a year or so of PMs and public board flirting decide to do the deed. That's a sub-plot I can insert with extra twists. But of course, and in Dan Jenkins fashion, in the end TCU will win the MNC, and UT finally gets put on probation (possibly death penalty but we will see). I have other ideas and plot lines but I want you to buy the book. And in the process, many other story lines could develop. And who knows how it will end. Haven't decided yet (may submit two endings and let the publisher decide).
So no, Dil, I am not going to "copy and paste" these posts.
Excellent fodder, however.
2314 thank$ you one and all! :laugh:
