Re: Oh, ma Gawd...Another Nullius thread - Steamtyme hates your privacy
I will however not allow you to use me to derail an individuals thread.
That is dishonest of you. zasad@, the OP in that thread, made posts thereby addressed to me. I replied to him. You also replied to him; and I replied to you as part of my reply to him. (And by the way, you are in no position to “allow” or “not allow” me.)
“Derail”? If so, zasad@ derailed his own thread. Which, by the way, has been described as a spam megathread by persons who are not me.
So as a courtesy and inline with forum guidelines didn't post off-topic and created this thread. I guess I could have maybe tucked this into my reputation thread as I think about it. I'll link it here later. So I guess in a way you could say that I was in the exact position to "not allow" myself to be used to go off-topic.
Oh, at that:
n00b protip: A spam megathread is a thread where sigspamming bounty chasers make insubstantive posts to bump their post counts.
That is what you are calling a thread where (mostly) sincere well-wishers are having what has been an almost wholly positive discussion about a well-loved person who is now gone.
Are you deliberately trying to be insulting toward Lauda? I do not see how it could be otherwise.
A spam megathread is any thread that becomes a long line of repetitive, unoriginal low value posts. Whether signatures or not exist, is irrelevant. Apart from me usually adding Sig spam in a report. So it's understandable that people can see the possibility of that thread becoming one. Here we are circling back to Lauda again, with no real reason; apart from you thinking anything short of a rainbow blowjob is a personal attack against them. Then gets upset when someone suggest getting [Lauda’s thread] locked, possibly preventing it from becoming a spam megathread. Pretty sure Lauda hated spam as well.

I am busy right now. Almost everything that you said is nonsense. I may reply to it if/when time permits. From the foregoing, it is clear that your creation of this thread is rather pointless. Why not continue discussing this where zasad@ started the discussion?
Explained above. May come back to answer. You've already quoted and replied. No sense in attempting to drag this out further by spreading your replies to a single post over multiples. Again, your opinions are your own, and matter little to me. I am coming around on how pointless this thread might be, in that it seems pointless attempting to have a discussion with you so I guess we're closer to finding common ground.Quote

So why did you create one?n00b protip
Multiposting is against forum rules. The edit button works wonders for that.LOL so much this. Lauda wanted one last drama so Lauda did one last drama. Trying to paint as some genius satoshi-like departure only to be forever worshiped in the memorial thread is ludicrous.
As for nullius, ignore is the best approach, trust me. Saves hours of reading and miles of scrolling. What he says and does about the trust system doesn't make much sense... so tilde too is recommended... unless someone thinks that red-tagging for "trolling" and "defamation" is appropriate.
I have avoided using "ignore" entirely and don't really want to start, but I've been close to using it a few times this year. I've had ~ on for a long time. I'm sure we could find "someone" who would agree with those tags in concept, it's not I. As for nullius, ignore is the best approach, trust me. Saves hours of reading and miles of scrolling.

Too much drama
Lauda made choices, including building a reputation they parlayed into great business opportunities for themselves. They also made choices to remain secure and unlinked to an irl personality, to a great degree I imagine
I have my own opinion on Lauda, just like I have on many other people. This is fine 
So what's this new drama all about?
I got annoyed.
