They're definitely consistently odd , but sometimes they're interesting. You have to admit the place wouldn't be the same without amichail.

A friend of mine used to live in NY and he tells me how lots of people think that Giuliani, by fighting crime, ruined the city. By making the city safer, the residents had to start dealing with the influx of annoying tourists that they couldn't avoid, whereas once you learned where trouble was, you could just keep away. Also, his argument is that the city lost lots of "colorful characters". People that were not exact…

I think 1 is the optimal number of amichails.

I'd argue exactly the opposite. I want people to feel self-conscious about their own ideas. I want people to be reasonably good filters. We already live in an information overloaded world. If I started "putting my ideas" out there with no filter, I would certainly be a source of information with a terrible SNR. And please, this is not saying that I want to conform to the majority. What I want is for you to stop trans…

"... What bothers me is not the fact that you want to think on problems with little practical utility. What bothers me is that you expect others to join you without showing no glimpse of a solution! ..." I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Do you have a problem with Amichail? If you keep on repeated attacking, causing distress and others join in this is technically bullying. The beaut thing is all it takes to stop e…

If you were attempting a parody of amichail, you've failed, because you've shown the faintest glimmer of analysis.

Didn't you get the memo? Ideas have very little value on their own.

That's why it's OK just to trade them around for fun. Btw. I'm getting "502 BAD GATEWAY" all the time.

Sorry about this, it's my second day administering an arc.news server. I'm not sure what happened but I rebooted.

I love talking about ideas and was actually thinking of implementing something like this myself. You've got one user.

Parody? No. Having just done some work on identification and analysis of bullies in social systems by mapping behaviour using network science techniques a couple of weeks ago - identifying & neutralising bullies is quite fresh in my mind. No failure on my part.

Error 404: The domain you are trying to reach has been disabled for violations of our TOS/AUP.

(That apparently applies to ne.ws as a whole.)

Bravura, do you have a backup? Will you move to a different domain? Please?
