Same here. Hope you had a chuckle from your self-indulgent proclaimed 'social commentary', it was a useless and boring waste of time. You knew in the posting that 'bleep' is an omission for inappropriate words while self-editing and utilized that knowledge to attempt to deceive readers...then when they realized that you weren't swearing, punchline. Write a book, maybe someone will buy it, but I wouldn't. Actually, I would have been mildly interested in the post if it were a critique on ATS rather than a moderator ego-patting. Is this thread really "Above Top Secret"? I know I haven't heard any breaking alternative news here especially in the field of "Psychology, Philosophy and Metaphysics", rather old literary re-hash from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz).

You're welcome, always willing to offer some constructive criticism and am hoping it is taken as such. I have my opinions just as you have yours. Being that there are no facts in this topic, I'm not hesitant in expressing them.

As previously mentioned, this is an old literary technique, aka it has been done many many times before. Instead of using ATS as a personal joke forum, perhaps using it as intended would be a good place to start. Above Top Secret (as the name implies) is a very good source for progressive discussion on topics such as news, paranormal exploration, or scientific discovery.
Alternatively, perhaps there is a forum more geared towards standup such as: Fun On the Net . A funeral palor is not the place to burst through the door in a clown suit. There's an appropriate time and place for everything, hope this was more constructive.

or that funeral parlor feel you seem to desire, I am sure there are many other threads that will provide just what you are looking for.

I truley hope I have not wrongly "perceived" what you are communicating. After all the entire point of this thread was to convey how "perception" can be missleading.

Your intent was to deceive, which is against ATS's posting policy as I understand it.

Just like if someone titled "Picture of an Alien!" and when you click it there's a sock puppet alien. Ah! But the title didn't say it was a real alien? Perhaps there's something wrong with one's perception? Again, surprised the mods are allowing this to continue.

While I enjoy a good debate this is becoming tiresome. You seem to be working very hard to take away something that many ATS members are enjoying.

All I can say is take it up with the MODS.

Don't jump to conclusions, did you even bother to read the OP? It's not what it appears to be (like many things on ATS)
Originally posted by wolf241e
I did in that way to see if the mods would bleeping - bleep me and true to your post they sure did.
Actually the "[sniped] me. A few fiery words directed at your OP.
Well that test balloon has flown and we have the results now don't we??

Apologies again for my subterfuge.
They're watching and offered for them to contact me...so in effect, I am.
