Even worse, they claimed my vendetta against Steve Youngblood is fake.

This just confirms it was actually Steve Youngblood going out of his way to cover it up.

It's funny how this works. There's a handful of posters (usually with an anime or MLP avatar, shockingly) who'll show up in every pedo-themed thread, arguing from the same perspective every time ("pedo's are people too", "they're 1000 yr old demons", etc). It's frequent enough for them to be clearly more than just another pseud displaying the power of their intellect with incessant contrarianism. Frequent enough to only mean one thing...

The key is to not explicitly admit to anything, because that actually will get you exiled, as long as you stop just short of that line you're in the clear. Some of these guys are even a bit brazen about it...I think they probably enjoy having a place where they can express that part of themselves without any real consequences. It's probably quite liberating.

There's a clear level of coordination, which is why I bet they share PMs. Not saying they're all pedos, but I bet you it wouldn't be hard to catch many of those dudes with a near perfect troll account. It wouldn't be perfect - you'd need to use pics of a real, untraceable girl to pull that off, and I wouldn't be comfortable with that.

It's very likely that there are a number of pedophiles on GAF.  Most of them just keep it under wraps until they find someone else who may share similar interests.  Then they get brazen/dumb enough to be more forthcoming about kid diddling and then everyone freaks out until that guy is banned, where people think that they nabbed the only GAF pedo that is running around there.  No way, I bet there are dozens of them on the board.

That is the end result of trying to make your forum a safe space.  GAF already has a bad reputation when it comes to this stuff and there is good reason for it.

People still use IRC rooms in 2015?  To swap ICQ numbers?

Also stop centering links. There is no need for format your stuff to be "fancy."

I find that stuff to be funny sometimes.  A lot of the most insufferable internet douchebags (except for myself of course) have multiple layers of hypocrisy and some skeletons in their closet and it's funny to see it unravel.

Are you saying that this ruse isn't clever? Whenever I ban anyone, I want them to know that of the 30-40 mods it might be, it wasn't me. Perhaps this hint isn't as subtle as I'd hoped.

there really is nothing to prepare yourself for the trial of pain that is the first couple weeks with a newborn. I wonder how we even made it as a species sometimes. imagine how brutal this shit was without electricity and running water. or general hygiene. prairiemac would have probably bailed tbh.

I'm probably just not remembering right and looking back with rose-tinted glasses here, but I honestly don't remember the newborn phase being that difficult (at least for me, my wife who was breastfeeding at the time will probably say otherwise). I mean, yeah, you're NOT going to get more than a few hours sleep at any given point. And that certainly blows. But when you're actually awake and not struggling to stay awake, it wasn't THAT difficult. Babies don't do anything. I remember actually kind of enjoying my time off work at that point after the first couple of days at home because it just gave me the chance to catch up on some TV and gaming during all that time where I couldn't sleep.

I think it just depends how you're wired. If you are an anxious person, all that anxiety is going to get redirected into the newborn. So all that uncertainty, disruption and dread gets multiplied.

yeah but back then we just let our kids shit and piss wherever. if they wouldn't stop crying we'd throw them at their brother or sister and then bet on who won the ensuing fist fight. we loved our kids differently based on which of them had better tasting nits.

it may have been 'worse' for me as my wife was basically an invalid for a couple weeks. tho i don't really remember it at all, most of it is logged in pictures of me being completely passed on the bed next to him. my daughter was much more straightforward as we knew the deal by that point.

[Steve Youngblood]

Yeah. My kid is three now. And like I said I'm probably just getting it all wrong, but I actually find myself somewhat nostalgic for those days as now we have a 3-year-old with a limited vocabulary that just always wants things and needs interaction. Just constantly. And while there's certainly some reward in seeing his personality develop and he's a lot more fun at some times, it can also get really old really quick when he starts throwing tantrums every five minutes and it's unclear what exactly he wants. I think back on the baby days and remember it being kind of easy. He's crying? Well, he's either hungry, gassy, needs a diaper change, or needs to be put down for a nap. Figure it out quickly enough and the problem is resolved quickly and with little fuss.

Now there's plenty of times where I'm just pulling my hair out because every little thing seems to set him off. He's hungry. I've determined that a sandwich will satisfy him. Today, he's mad because I didn't cut the crust off. Tomorrow he'll be mad because he sees me cutting the crust off without even asking him and he didn't want me to cut the crust off.

more than anything I miss the days where I could set him somewhere, anywhere, and reasonably expect him to be there for more than 2 minutes. he's 4 now and he will do as he pleases goddamnit 

also at his swim class the other day he was talking to a fellow classmate, a girl, and she put her head on his shoulder and gave him a hug, and held his hand around the pool area.

Are there soundproof cribs out there? Might be something to look into if I ever have a kid, or possibly a good business idea if I can get potential legal complications ironed out.

Haha. Why on earth would you need a sound proof crib? Most people buy things like baby monitors because they're paranoid about not hearing their kid crying from the room across the hall. The answer to your problem would just be to not buy or turn on the baby monitor should you ever have a kid, which I hope doesn't happen.

[Steve Youngblood]

We don't all have giant houses where you can hide a baby in some deep inner sanctum like Boo Radley. Ignoring a crying baby from one bedroom in a 2bdr with thin walls could be difficult, and I'm usually a light sleeper.

You do realize that you're... not supposed to ignore a crying baby, right?

After all these years Im still not sure if Walrus is joking about the soundproof crib

[Steve Youngblood]

After all these years Im still not sure if Walrus is joking about the soundproof crib

I'm sure he's probably joking. But even if you (and many out there do) subscribe to a philosophy of "we coddle these crybabies too much and that's why they're not ready for the real world later on," I still think you're supposed to be cognizant of the crying. After all, what if your child isn't just being a whiner and something is actually wrong? As tempting as it may be to drown it out through the use of technology (or perhaps booze and/or sleeping pills), I think even the cry-it-out method that's frowned upon by new-age namby pambies like myself still necessitates you suffering through their tears. Just because you conclude that you're not feeding them in the middle of the night just because they shed a few tears doesn't mean you get to just sleep through it.
