Aral Balkan

So the “let’s bash Aral” thread apparently continues as folks crawl out from under their rocks. Besides learning that I apparently had over 100K+ followers on Twitter (didn’t) to set on people (what a tyrant) I apparently also *checks notes*… spoke disrespectfully about the CCC.

Folks, what can I say, it’s true.

There was also one time I left the toilet seat up. I’m not proud of it. I just totally forgot.

I’m sorry.

Now, let’s get back to stopping from committing in .

2/2 (For those of you who might not know, CCC stands for Chaos Computing Club. It is an organisation that no one should ever speak disrespectfully about ­– or else! Seriously. Like people remember these things. As the old saying goes “it’s not worse than antisemitism, but still”.)

@shalf @aral I've kind of assumed that CCC is big and influential enough that it probably has some flaws mixed in with the good it's done.

@foolishowl @shalf But I was apparently disrespectful of it at one time, man. Disrespectful, can you imagine. Of the CCC. Me! At some point. What must I have said. This is really going to keep me up at night.

@aral @shalf Some people look for enemies in the wrong places and won't acknowledge they've made a mistake.

@foolishowl @aral Am deeply non-violent, yet sometimes ol’ rugby field habits come back in my dreams 🤷🏻‍♂️

@aral I was briefly concerned you were a CCC stan, jeez what a thread. Sounds like a whole headache

@ryanprior At least it’s not as bad as Twitter was.

(I know that’s not exactly a glowing endorsement.)

What can I say, I hadn’t missed all this at all.

@aral
@ryanprior
And we still don't know which disrepectful content it was.

@aral what business would you have with Polish shoemakers?!?
Also I didn't know they are so sensitive to hold a grudge ?!?

Then again, don't like the shoes - don't buy them rather than talk smack! Not cool man, not cool ...

@frankboon Polish shoemakers? What’re you talking about? I was dissing Castleknock Community College ;)

@aral oh heavens what a relief it's not about the Cena Czyni Cuda ... Poles are rather annoying when they are annoyed... The only thing you can scare them with is swinging a stick dipped in poo ... but I'm pretty sure that goes against the Geneva convention, or so I've heard as a boy.
