Well, well, well...
You know, sometimes you future boys really burn me up.
For starters, this is not your private bus station. This is a forum, an innovative communications system, a place where people come to meet and discuss what is important to them. It is not a drop-off for bagmen involved in some Action Movie melodrama, or a safehouse nearby an alley to pass code to shadowy figures lurking under gaslamps. This device was at first called a Message or Bulletin Board, but it has evolved, here, beyond that, and it is not just someplace for you to drop a scented hanky as a signal for your pal.
"We will make use of it." Please don't. Move along. Nothing for you here. Others may think that you are being polite, but I think what you are doing is the very soul of rudeness. You show no regard or respect for any of us.
As for your story, let me say that Titor is not an incident. What Titor is in fact is the author, using a pen-name, of a piece of literature. It is probable that he is more than one person, and it is possible that he is a government disinformation project. This is a dangerous and humiliating insult in its own right, and you have managed to compound it by giving it the temporary glow of authenticity. None of us will tolerate being manipulated by those who make the dubious claim of knowing what is best for us.
It is likely that you have decided to attach yourself parasitically to the Coyote narrative, which, if true, shows further deficiency of taste and courtesy. We need you and Coyote to come forth and be candid about this entire affair, and we need concrete evidence of your claims. I do not speak for everyone, and there may be some among us who are content to play the game of Time Cop and Robber and Basketball scores; as for those for whom I might speak, we will not long endure folly, and you have strained our patience somewhat already-- with a single post.
