You know, he gets rather a lot of email.
I finally changed my e-mail page to announce that I can no longer reply to all letters. I cringed as I did it, because I knew some people would take this as proof that I am an out-of-touch egomaniac with no time for his fans, and I’d prefer to keep that a secret. I also worried I would get fewer e-mails, since people might not bother writing if there wasn’t much chance of a reply. Instead, my e-mail inflow practically doubled. It’s like everyone was looking at that pathetic line, “I will try to reply in 19 weeks,” and thought, “Poor bastard, I’ll leave him be.”

I hate personal freedoms. I am in the league with George Bush, Max Barry and the NS mods to crush your dreams, your freedoms and your truth telling posts on NS.

I guess this answers the question of how your threat to go over the head of the Mods worked out.
You and Urantia II should overlook your political differences and form a support group for "Victims of Mod Conspiracies."

Since Nostradamus has been dead for hundreds of years, he can't form an opinion on it.
On the history channel they said Nostradamus made a quatrain linking the names Bush and Osama in an anagram--Nostradamus also said Bush would be the fool to start a world war

Alright man, as always-nothin' but love-but you have to realize-
We are the natering hoard. Generalites are tolerated, not catered to. We are the hassle, the bother to the game and the actual point of the site (to sell Max's books/role-play nations trying to interact). The extremes on both sides feel that they are being put out by the 'establishment,' and they all go crying to Max. On the 'big list of things that matter' we're on the way bottom. That does give us a lot of leway, but I don't know what kind of problem that would have to erupt in General for Max to do anything-other than get rid of the whole mess and be done with it.

I don't give a shit about what Nostra-dumb-ass said. Anybody can make a generalised prediction and have a good chance of success.

This thread I mean, the whole attack on the mods business.
You realize I hope that absolutely zero percent of people take this stuff seriously.
You ought to stick to bringing attention to *real* ills and *real* nastiness on the part of the bush co and the neocons.
You're just diluting an otherwise valid and important message.

(sorry, I is somewhat new to the forums, and as such I don't know the quoting system. But I look foward to becomming active and getting to know you all ^_^)
"untrue--I go to protests and once when I was buying a pair of snowboard pants at NikeTown I told the cashier I think Nike should stop exploiting sweatshop labor"
Just going to protests is not a revolutionatry action. And I'm sure that cashier really cared so much about your little comment. How dare you put your hypocracy on the scale of a truly revolutionary action? You say there is no need for self denial when doing the right thing, but that is dead wrong. If you believe that, you are just another fustrated middle class kid without the currage to truly suffer for his convictions, who has never suffered or wanted for anything, and does not know what it truly means to be "revolutionary." Have you ever suffered or put your self in harms way to get your point across? Have you ever been arrested or beaten for civil disobediance? Have you ever bettered the lot of someone else by seriously dis-improving (sorry, couldn't think of a real word to put there) your own? Have you ever openly broken unjust laws for the porpous of breaking them, and done so in a public maner likely to result in legal backlash? Look, I apreciate your social conscience and hatred of "the man," we need more folk to think like that, and I'm sorry if I come out harsh at you, but it's folks like you take give us intelligent folk who are trying to make a change for the better a bad name. When I tell people that I am an anarchist or libertarian, or that I don't believe in American politics as they are currently run, people think of me as someone like you. When I talk about certain things like Coke's brutalization of workers in South America, or certain actions by the US military in Iraq (which I won't get into right now, as this is not the thread for that), they dismiss me as someone like you, and thus dismiss my information. Don't you realise you're just giving the Neocons more ammo to paint their enemies as lunitics and idiots? You gatta think about how you come off to people. That doesn't mean don't be shocking (the students at my school have tried to get me ejected from class several times for the political shirts I wear, all unsuccessfully, because I showed the administaration that I would make more problems for them then it would be worth), it just means come off as intelligent about it, man.
Also, Bush is not America's first "dictator" (I use the " " because I acknowledge that he is not a dictator in the literal sence of the word, but that it is being used to show him as a authoritarian leader that manipulates the will of the people through lies and fear), and he certainly won't be the last.
And to some post I read on the first page somewhere: dude, there's nothing wrong with the reefer ^_~

posting certain Truths is a Revolutionary Act that is always met with resistance and oppression
Making idiodic statements are usualy met with resistance and correction as well (providing an alternitive perception not nessisarly a reflection on your statements :rolleyes: )

Yes....because Nostradamus is a valid source of information about the world today.

Oedipus predates Shakespeare -- he's from Sophocles' ancient Greek plays. You might be thinking of Hamlet, though....

It is an accepted piece of NationStates folklore that Max keeps a puppet nation or two floating around somewhere in the game, and may even do a bit of posting under one or more of them. I think it's a given that flaming Max is flaming a board member, and therefore illegal. None of which makes ShadyFiend's "legal disclaimer" resemble any form of legal claim that I've ever seen. Try again, ShadyFiend.
are you saying Max is just using us to sell a book?
In two years and four incarnations, this is the actual first time you've ever bothered to figure out what this site is actually about? What's the chance that you've ever read the book? Or any book? That just tickles my funnybone in ways you'll never know, SF.

Leaving aside NS folklore, he did post openly once last April 1st.
