I just realized I have several tweets about me deleting posts but none of them actually referenced which post it was I deleted. Do they think I'm going to go search for it to figure out what they're talking about?
@animuson I've once had some random gmail address email me talking about some post I voted to close, but he never told me who he was or which post it was :P
@animuson I've actually texted one of my friends (who also has an SO account) "question closed as too broad" when he asked how to start learning JavaScript :P
I ought to add a lazer pointer to a thumbdrive. I have one of those tiny ones, and can get my hands on a larger broken one, and I have a small laser somewhere in my room.
@TinyTim Now that I know you're lord of the swag, I have a question: I might have a chance to go to WWDC this year (Apple's dev conference). On Sunday before everything starts everyone mills around and I have very little to do. Would SE be interested in having someone pass out swag?
Anna got elected as a SO moderator, Stack Exchange stole her away. Anna got hired as a community manager, Stack Exchange stole her away. My company is apparently quite gifted in the area of abduction.
@TimPost They better not steal you. Who knows what kind of swag master replacement we'd get if that happened! I'm afraid! Very afraid!

@JanDvorak I don't think it would be a huge loss. The links aren't even directly related to the question. The highest voted answer on the other hand, which is in second place right now, solves the problem concisely with a relevant code snippet.
@TimPost he has asked another question and concluded all downvotes on it, his answer, and his previous bechdel question had nothing to do with its content
so :(
i have an interest in him actually taking this stuff as legitimate feedback, or just not caring
i discussed it with him until he started to use dishonest discussion tactics.
The answer was down voted because I lost my keys. Please, stay with me, let me explain this odd chain of events.
Earlier today I couldn't get to the store on time because I could not find my keys. That caused me to miss the opportunity to run over a golf ball, which would have bounced between a...
He's not being targeted. Sites grow, people are strange. Things happen. Feces occurs.
@TimPost I'm glad he isn't. But when a user that proliferous dismisses downvotes as invalid and dares to produce even worse content, and does not use them to reflect on maybe there's something bad about his stuff, that's kind of a bad thing. (Until it finally hits the point he trips the question ban, eventually)
@JonathanHobbs This isn't the first time it's come up. Even if the content was technically perfect and the most well-crafted prose to ever have been posted to our network, you can't rule out that which you can't document which is the competency of the voter.
He can choose to not obsess about it and have a good time, or can continue to obsess about it and be miserable.
We've got well over 5000 obsolete comments on Arqade. Since these cannot be handled using any of the user level tools, I have been flagging these so that they can be actioned by a moderator. Unfortunately, our moderators don't appear to appreciate this effort in keeping the site clean?
All of th...
@Flyk re-reading this makes me cringe, less of the "for once" and more of the "please just point me in the right direction because I'm stuck between a rock and a moderator"
Really wish someone would have looked into this. I'm having the same problem a year and two months later.
already tried with style="float: right;" on the button?
i do not know what the fuck do float keyword in css
lol
