It should link to this.

The effect would be the same.

Oh right. It would be unwise to click on any links I provide you with. Thank jr for this friendly community service message.

Yo, BlackDove... there *are* people who react to that kind of thing, hmm?  You should warn them.

[BlackDove]

Yeah.

We should all gather around, throw flowers, and sing happy happy songs to create world peace too.

Arguably I react in the same way to the Shivan Manifesto as well, so I'd say we're even.

[jr2]

You numbskull.  We're talking possible DEATH here.  You understand?  Or is that effect not real?  (I do hope!)

[BlackDove]

Yeah, I just can't count the amount of people I've killed with my reckless links.

[jr2]

You would never know, you n00b (sorry, but I think it applies)... do you think you would hear about it?

[BlackDove]

Yeah, there would be big headlines in the newspapers, stating "BlackDove kills people with his links", and I'd go to jail, where I wouldn't have to read any more of your stupid bull****.

Man, now I'm hoping I do kill someone.

Chill out jr2, seriously. No, it doesn't apply. Now hush, it's taken care of.

[jr2]

Well, the reason I'm upset is that seizures can actually kill people.  :shock:  And, I called him a n00b because he was basing his links being ok by the fact that he hasn't gotten in trouble before.  Now, when the rescue squad rolls in to take the poor fellow to the hospital, are they really going to go through the trouble of of looking at his computer, which by this time has reverted to screen saver?  Heck no, they want him at the hospital ASAP.  Are the police going to look at it?  Probably not, unless someone points it out to them... which, unless there's a relative / friend with the password to shut the screensaver off, there won't ever be anyone that looks at it.  Even if they did, they'd have to look through the history to see where he got the link from (ok, if they are this far, yes, they'd probably do that).  [rant] But, REALLY, BD, FOR GOODNESS SAKE I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET IN TROUBLE, ANY MORE THAN I WANT SOMEONE TO GET HURT FROM ONE OF YOUR LINKS.  MMKAY?  [/rant]

jr2, it's so trivial it doesn't even matter. The chances of someone dying from looking at a link on the internet are so small that it boggles the mind - and even if there was someone with that condition surfing this forum right now, then well we haven't gotten any complaints from them, only you, the champion of the epileptic. Now, I have better things than argue such a trivial point with you, so this discussion is done. Continue on topic.

[jr2]

Ah... well, I did some research... apparently only about 300 ppl were sick & went to the hospital; no one died (I thought 3 or 4 had).  So, I'm not as upset now.  Making people sick = n00bishness in my book, but apparently there's no life threat, so I'm cool.

"Making people sick?" Seriously, you're the only one being a noob here by making a fuss over a bit of humor like that. If someone has a condition that severe, they shouldn't be indiscriminately clicking internet links in the first place. In any case, the chance of someone going to that site directly is probably much higher than clicking that link to get there.

As for the original topic, the guy who wrote that document has long since vanished. I don't think we can track him down easily. The document was pretty crappy in any case, so it's no big loss.

[BlackDove]

If someone does find him though, alert me, a spearing is in order.

[Unknown Target]

This is stupid. Thread split.
