And centuries from now someone will find this place. And they will ask "Why did they talk so much about poop? And who is Brent Weeks?"

As long as Drenai lives forever, I'm okay with this.

Ah, there have been so many crazy people joining up through the years. Drenai, Eresi, bottle, mystar, Vengeance. They are legion.

It's decent in the first of gentlemen

I just realised that Drenai might be the original creator of the "What the fuck did you just say to me, I'll have you know that I am..." meme.

He came around in what, 2007? I strongly suspect the originator of that came back in the days of Usenet, which was when I was something like two (1985 born).

Internetz, serious business. As well as preventing donut thievery.

That's all well and good. But you're a fellow Amurrican: if you tried to go there, you'd just end up somewhere in Singapore trying to remember why you were there.

I think you have me confused with people who are born in the midwest. I am from the west coast. I can actually read a map and figure out which way is north using the sun and the side of trees that moss grows on.

What are trees? Bigger corn stalks?

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....
