TonyMcC Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) Most people put a "signature" at the bottom of their posts. I change mine quite frequently in response to various thoughts. My first "signature" was a quote from the TV program "Bread" and was " The only good thing about getting old is that you don't have to give a bugger". Bearing in mind that I am quite old I thought it both apt and amusing. When I thought about it I decided it might be offensive to some of the members, so I changed it. Another "signature" that I have used is a quote by US senator Daniel Moynihan "You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts". I chose this after a disagreement with a Staff Member as we clearly had different opinions concerning the word "opinion". My latest "signature" is "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions". There is someone who knows who I am and how to read my posts. This signature is a form of explanation and also an apology. Perhaps I should add "There is no fool like an old fool"! So - how much thought do you put into your signature and do you change it often? Edited January 8, 2012 by TonyMcC
Moontanman Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I put some thought into my signature, part of it is two lines from an original poem i wrote, the rest is sayings from others....
insane_alien Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Well, the first part is a guide i wrote to encourage people to use the IRC channel The second part is a useful piece of advice when dealing with new ideas. If they're getting thrown at you really fast without sufficient time to process then there's probably something wrong with them that people are trying to prevent you from spotting. Take a deep breath and a closer look and you can usually spot it. ?Haven't changed it in ages though.

ydoaPs Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I'm not sure what mine is, so I'd wager there wasn't much thought behind it.
A Tripolation Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I'm not sure what mine is, so I'd wager there wasn't much thought behind it. It's a testament to individualism made by Valerie when she discovered herself after being tortured by V and reading the note she received in 'prison'.
doG Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Mine reflects the thought that went into choosing a username...

ydoaPs Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) It's a testament to individualism made by Valerie when she discovered herself after being tortured by V and reading the note she received in 'prison'. Of course I knew what it was after I made a post and looked at it. I just had no idea what I actually set as my sig, you silly commie. edit: Valerie wasn't tortured by V Edited January 8, 2012 by ydoaPs
hypervalent_iodine Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 I put myself through days - no, weeks of mental anguish trying to decide upon my signature. I wanted something deeply meaningful and truly reflective who I am as a person, which I suppose boils down to 'morally compromised', given the result(s) since I started using the feature. 1
John Cuthber Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) If I post something here then look at it, I can see the signature and work out how much effort I put into it. (EDIT) Not a lot it seems. Edited January 8, 2012 by John Cuthber
A Tripolation Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 edit: Valerie wasn't tortured by V Oh, I do believe in all the things you say. But you're wrong about this.
ajb Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Mine is a quote by Frank Wilczek. The quote I found rather true and somewhat profound.
ydoaPs Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Oh, I do believe in all the things you say. But you're wrong about this. You may want to rewatch the film. Valerie was tortured by the government for being gay. Evey was tortured by V to force a shift in perspective.
A Tripolation Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 You may want to rewatch the film. Valerie was tortured by the government for being gay. Evey was tortured by V to force a shift in perspective. *sigh*. I'm a moron. Yes. You're right. I was thinking about it being Evee's words since it was her reading the note. 1
JohnB Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I like to help people along the path to enlightenment and cynicism.
TonyMcC Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 I like to help people along the path to enlightenment and cynicism. Rather like - there are 3 symptoms that indicate alzheimer's. The first is loss of memory and I forget the other two!
ydoaPs Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I'm a moron. QFT You're right. That is not unusual. 2

TonyMcC Posted January 13, 2012 Author Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Time for a change of signature - I'm back on firm ground again! I'm glad to be back among the sane. Genuinely sincere apologies where needed and/or appropriate. Edited January 13, 2012 by TonyMcC
