@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Cool. Yours?

@Robusto I have officially joined your side.

On what issue?

7:08 PM

:-)

never piss-off a raider fan

I piss you off, bro?

OK, I appreciate the support, but it's not my intention to drive a wedge between people here. My disagreements are mine alone, and I deal with them in my own way.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Robusto no

don't "bro" me

What are you talking about?

7:11 PM

" ease up on the "expert" declaration"

That pissed you off? You could have just said so.

I thought you were overusing it.

I didn't expect such a hypocritical statement from you.

Hypocritical? How is that hypocritical?

how many times did they say it in the video BRO???

Seriously, I don't understand why you are upset or why you think my statement was hypocritical.

7:14 PM

@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 was good till it bugged out :D

I haven't been using "expert" a lot in my sentences. You used it a bunch of times. I asked you to slow down on it. I didn't mean it in any insulting way and I'm sorry that you feel like I did.

@tchrist And advertising data sheets, for some reason.

I made a cup of coffee with my aeropress and I am really enjoying the result.

Mm.

Full-bodied and smooth, but a clean cup.

Hey, skully, ease up on the "expert" declaration.

Look, you'll have to be more direct than that. I can tell you are intimating something, but I honestly don't get it.

7:21 PM

It is a comedy sketch, right?

I hope so.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

is one of you playing a tank game on that site I just posted?

> Bill Bryson: [Traveling] makes you realize what an immeasurably nice place much of America could be if only people possessed the same instinct for preservation as they do in Europe. You would think the millions of people who come to **Williamsburg** every year would say to each other, "Gosh, Bobbi, this place is beautiful. Let's go home to Smellville and plant lots of trees and preserve all the fine old buildings."
But in fact that never occurs to them. They just go back and build more parking lots and Pizza Huts.

Which Williamsburg is that?

And what makes it special?

@KitFox yes or no? No "hope so"

@skullpatrol Yes.

@Cerberus Williamsburg, VA.

Are we interested in a spam monitor script that would pipe spam questions into our chat room?

7:24 PM

@KitFox So, that means the expert line is being used as a JOKE, not something that I need to be warned about using.

@skullpatrol Right.

@KitFox Ah, so it is like a theme park, not a real town?

Or do people actually live there?

@KitFox So why the warning?

@skullpatrol It wasn't a warning. It was me being tired of you using the same joke repeatedly.

So I said so.

@Cerberus I think people live in Williamsburg proper, and then there is "Colonial Williamsburg" which is historical with people dressed up in period costume, etc.

@KitFox That is NOT HOW you said it. You said it as a moderator.

7:26 PM

I see.

@skullpatrol How do you figure that?

@KitFox ease up (or else)

Hey, skully, ease up on the "expert" declaration.

I didn't say (or else).

So how about you tell me how I should say that as not-a-moderator?

Hey, skully, that joke is old. Would that be better?

yes

It is a risk you run being a moderator. It is better to clarify that it isn't a warning when you say such things to people.

7:29 PM

@skullpatrol OK. Then, skully, that "expert" joke is old.

@Cerberus Really? Why is it that none of the other moderators has to do so?

!!define fastly

Jarvis the Bot

@kwak fastly securely.

@JarvistheBot what?

fastly = in a fast way, something rapid?

as in "tie that knot fast"

but it says securely ^

7:33 PM

exactly

that's what I mean

!!define securely

@KitFox They don't make statements that might be interpreted that way, usually.

Jarvis the Bot

@kwak securely In a secure manner; without fear or apprehension; without danger; safely.

I don't think Kit did anything wrong. She said "ease up". That's not even close to threatening IMO.

@kwak to mean rapidly fast is used as an adverb

7:33 PM

Besides, if there was any confusion, someone could have asked.

@MattЭллен ah good point, thanks

@kwak also, see this definition

although it counter my own argument...

I apologize if I have appeared hostile @Mahnax

Aggressiveness is a part of my personality.

Hey, don't worry about it. Nobody's wronged me.

cool

7:41 PM

I said I was sorry and I meant it. I didn't mean it in any kind of threatening way. I'm cool with dropping it if you're cool with that.
