Ancestry DNA tests

Absolutely not. The nerve.
Just kiddin

I know you still love me, no matter how much I piss you off at times. More proof that indeed we've gotten heated here amongst long time members and then gotten over it because there was a mutual understanding dictated by gradually learned social convention here on SKMB? Maybe not. I am kinda dumb though, so I am probably wrong about that.

Something like that. The former, not the latter.

It's both. No doubt...

When Steve did it for Finding Your Roots, he had to spit into a test tube. I know because he did it while he was sitting at my desk.

Had he eaten some rhubarb pie beforehand?

Not unless he had it at home. If it had been at the office, I probably would have eaten it before he could get to it.

Haters gonna puke.

Never say never. Poop patrol is in your contract. Better read that sucker...

Had there been a contract I definitely would have noticed that!!

When hugged you to comfort a nervous young Mod, just there to do some part time transcription work, you entered into the contract. No back peddling now.

Well, let's hope these next 3 years go quickly and without incident so I won't be put in a position to renege on the terms.

Naw.. we were just having a little fun, it drifted in to here from another thread.
What was it someone (Siggy?) said? (SKMB) Threads bleed.

we all float down here

 

[Walter Oobleck]

Hoss seemed to believe you were someone else, too...in another thread. Maybe Hoss could weigh in with the reason why. I know I'm curious, given Hoss' proclamation about his IT and computer abilities.

Oh Walt, not everything is a conspiracy. I can't make jokes? Besides, the picture which I posted was related to a person that no longer comes here and is not anyone here now, according to the person who still comes here and was that person.

PS I am hacking your brain wirelessly right now. Foil only AMPLIFIES signals!! BWAAAAHAHAHHAHAAAAA!!!

Well, you did post the image of an avatar, some sort of fish with a red circle/diagonal line through it over the avatar. That post from you apparently is no longer available. So I think it is a legitimate question...why? a second: how? You have made statements boastful about your internet/computer capabilities. I think the more interesting aspect of all this is that that post is gone. Kinda like Hillary and her emails, hey? The ends justify the means?

Now Walt, if you're going to accuse me of hacking the SKMB, we can certainly settle that. Jordan is quite adept at IT himself and likely knows a ton more about web administration than I do. After all Sai King can afford the best and his staff are probably chosen based on their abilities.

Jordan can easily pull my IP address and also detect if unauthorized admin accounts, spoofs, etc., have taken place. So certainly you are indeed welcome to email him or he is welcome to insert his factual findings here in regards to this matter.

However, since the post is still there, and perhaps you just missed it, I don't think that is necessary. The joke involved was directed at a person here we both know and was a joke I've made to him previously. If that person took offense to it, I am certainly willing to talk to them about it and clarify any misunderstandings I or they may have regarding the matter. However, as we've interacted plenty since then and I know that person saw the post most likely, the fact he has chosen not to say anything about tells me he probably understood it was a joke and/or really could care less.

I will say I apologize regarding our interactions if my sarcasm intended only to point out things I find silly or illogical, comes off as personal attacks in your mind. While I will without hesitation say that some of the theories and things you post at times I find to be a bit out there and hard to assign any empirical value, I do not seek to debase you as a human. I war with ideas, not people. I attack the reasoning, not the man. I am sure you are quite a respectable and charitable human being. In fact I have been informed by many here that you are indeed such. I know you are indeed quite the reader who I've seen post very unique and insightful analyses regarding Sai King's and other authors' works. I have also gained reason to believe you are a skilled tradesman in construction and woodworking. My father is also a contractor and woodworker. So the same respect I have for his craft I have for yours. All that being said, if you also posted bigoted, hateful or inappropriate things, I will point it out. It does not diminish in any way the rest of what I know to be true about you.

The difference in the situation that led to this interaction is that while I doubt you consider me a friend, we at least KNOW each other from several years interacting on this and the former board. You may still dislike my retorts, but in the end, you're smart and wise enough to know some of it is sarcastic in nature to prove a point via parody, etc. I've commented as such in regards to the political debates here and that both myself and others employ techniques not unlike Mark Twain's use of sometimes acerbic sarcasm to illustrate the level of folly he saw in a particular line of thinking. But to understand that is the case with a person, you'd have to know the social climate first, the history of that person and if another person involved, the relationship and what has been allowed or disallowed between them, in order to make an informed judgmental comment regarding it. There have been numerous times that I and another member were debating a point which included the back and forth sarcastic derision, where you have commented on a point I made you found illogical, but even then, you do not get involved nor openly comment to those involved some judgment you felt you needed to enter regarding the derision between those two members. Mostly because you understand the relationship by having spent time watching it unfold. You have your own opinion about that interaction I am sure, but you keep it to yourself as it really is not your business. In the case of an innocent member attacked directly by someone not having built such a relationship with that person, I know you to be a champion against someone degrading another. But these approaches are something a real man like you, myself and others (who know who they are) employ.

Does anyone have experience with these? Are they legit?

I have been on the site as a member for over 3 years now. It's a good site I think and without the records they have I would never have found the
ancestors. Always found their files are legitimate and very thorough. If it was in my budget I would certainly do the DNA Test.

For a while reading this thread, I thought "spit" was a euphemism. Now I'm getting the impression that it's not. Which is kind of a relief.

 

[M&P15]

Walter, you should keep in mind that the interaction mentioned here was not initiated by me. Even if, due to my not yet being an accepted member familiar with the dynamic here, I misjudged his posting style or not, I was content to stand on the sidelines regarding him......but then he took it upon himself to upbraid me in 2 separate threads.

I have already acknowledged, as pointed out to me by one very less caustic member, that a reply I made to another member was a bit more "snarky" then I really intended.

Before he mentions my alleged racism or homophobia, I don't consider him qualified to make that judgement and I reject it.

Now, if he chooses to explain to other members such interactions with me, he can move these conversations to PM, and we can be done with it, or we can continue to argue by proxy in public, but I will not shrink from giving my side of the story.
