In his response to Mackan79's question, Old Friend Fred admits that- "Clearly the war on Encyclopaedia Dramatica was ill-advised, at least at the level we took it too. "

I couldn't agree more, Freddie!
Let's walk down memory lane, shall we...

Here he is rummaging through one of my talk archives, along with a lot of other innocent pages.

He goes on for hundreds of pages doing this, with an almost bot-like indiscrimination.

For someone who now admits it was a really bad idea, he certainly went whole hog, batty, batty ape shit about it.

In a way it was even more ridiculous than his infamous clown proposal.

Sorry, Casper, but you, like DT, are way behind the curve. BADSITES went automated, global, meta, and underground a long time ago.

I C. Thankee. I'm really becoming fond of the Review but its signal/noise ratio is less than satisfactory sometimes...still tis better than WP's in that respect.

Perhaps my interview with Bauder would be of interest. (MP3 version)

I wonder if Fred was cathexizing his rage on my moniker. It's nice to think that I made a difference.

No such word. Pick one:
  1. Cathecting
  2. Catheterizing

It was indeed.
Good interview! And at under 15 mins mercifully short.
You did not play softball with Old Friend Fred either!
