Undoubtedly, Lauda was one of the highly prominent spam destructive creature on this forum and maybe, on Mother Earth too.

Indeed. And in addition to her uncompromising stand for Bitcoin, that was what caught my attention.

I remarked somewhere a few times, her persona was a dead ringer for a major character in the 90s spam wars, with which I had a very minor brush. (Not linking, in case I said too much. It is improbable, but it would be an awful coincidence.) That was a hell of a rough-and-tumble. A few spamfighters who tried to stay anonymous got doxed (hereby using that word anachronistically; the word “dox” had not yet been coined). One of the spamfighters who posted to n.a.n.a.e. under his real name received elaborate death threats; he responded with some casually piquant public musings on his homestead acreage in rural Colorado, his access to a backhoe, and his idle curiosity about whether or not his chainsaw would do in reality what chainsaws sometimes do in the movies. Oh, what a world...

She used her powers for the better of both, the forum and the members who were once spammers and helped them change their mentality and become a good member of the community.

It is true, she was what I tend to call softhearted. No doubt, she helped some people who were just clueless, but not really malicious, to find a better path. That’s a win-win.

Quite apart from spam, it was Lauda’s propensity to forgive when reasonable that led, from her side, to the forum’s most epic peace with a legendary who has good technical skills and, from his side, a sense of decency.

Oh and I thought nullius was retired. Btw retired from what? The forum? Or the dramas that are annoying you?

Both. But I thought that I made it clear, I am not exactly gone. :-)

I am “retired”, not “as if dead”. ...and I may otherwise pop up here and there. Of course, I will still attend my duties to Laudatory Lore as needed. I am just winding down my forum involvement. ...I still exist...
