How about removing the question, Jessamyn?

Well, I hate to agree with Dios, but there it is: it's a stupid question from a stupid person who wants to know how they can do more harm to society. That it stands while our comments are deleted is sort of disturbing.

why is baphomet's asshole "askme whore" comment not deleted while the much more polite comments of several others were?
For some reason there is a strong emphasis placed on not hurting the questioners feelings.

Well, drinking isn't harmful to others until you do something like start driving. Likewise, marijuana. So no, the act of smoking it isn't harmful to society in and of itself. However, since the OP's friend seems incapable of drinking and then not driving, I find it a little hard to be charitable enough to assume he won't engage in dangerous activity when stoned.

Gratuitous self-link in an otherwise unrelated...
I could hear this MeTa spluttering and bleating as soon as I read his question. Thanks for not letting me down.

Either that or the most pedantic, pathetic MeTa threads of all time.

jon_kill's memory of most things is extraordinarily selective. Keeps me honest.

Space exploration topics in just about any online...
I'm sorry. I engaged in a rational discussion that stemmed directly from a phrase in the FPP. I didn't call anyone names, although I was called an idiot, and now a bleeding heart. I was told that my opinion wasn't as relevant because I wasn't american. I was called a humorless puritanical leftist. I was told I was no fun (is that the point of a discussion?)
I did malign Witty. For that, I'm sorry.
As I stated in that thread, maybe the level of... [more]

Matt, threads like this underscore the need for...
I like Chill's idea. It would require the creation of one additional database with a foreign key defined by the primary key of a) the user id, and b) the post. This table would define which users were anonymous in which post.
The only time a user could become anonymous in a post (that is the only time this is exposed through the UI) would be that checkbox on the post page.
The display code would need to make two decisions: whether or not the to... [more]

Er. Database table, that is.

I'm not exactly sure how well a blinding mechanism would work, given the limited amount of static, unchangeable data we have for each user. If we could make the table above blidned in some way (ie: put an MD5 hash into the table for the user ID, and then query it the same way when putting up a post with the username).
Of course, that reduces the security to just running and MD5 on all user names to see if it matches the table entry.
The more... [more]

First of all, you mean table not database and you're wrong
I wasn't wrong, Delmoi, I was slightly less than optimal, and I corrected myself in the next comment. Feeling a little dickish today?

And now it's back.
So, what gives?

Yeah, I don't think it's for no reason. If good answers are being deleted because they veer close to some inappropriate social taboo, then that's too bad.

Why do I get so much hostility from sysadmins? Weird.

Hey, yeah I got your email, Matt.
Your interpretation of what I wrote is a little off. It was more like, "What? A person is depressed? Depressed people usually react well to human contact!"

Interesting you should say that PinkSuperhero. (Note: I'm ready to keep this civil, it could be a good conversation).
Flippant? Yes, maybe a little. Not written seriously? Well, okay. But, sex should be a very obvious answer to problems like this. My answer was to the point and honest.

No, brisk rogering is a subset of human contact.

It's sad that jon_kill might actually believe that "a brisk rogering" can cure depression.
I didn't say anything about cure. The question referred to the roommate's "responsibilities", or ways she could help. Not cure. Don't be obtuse, it doesn't help your cause.

I think you need a brisk rogering. Or you could go brisk roger yourself.
Twice daily.

Matteo mentioned that he thinks I'm a pig and my answer was rooted in some macho bullshit. That's his projection, this idea that my advice would only apply to women, and it's patently unfair.
