Since it WAS my quote and it IS about equity and fairness, I think we should split the cross-thread points.

Posting MY quote and then claiming ALL the cross-thread points for your own is how you end up in a mandatory IBM Deconstruction and Atonement for White male Privilege Seminar. (hows that for cross-thread points)

Take ole' Ikar Lesnikov for example - 15 years of sucking up to Russians and denying his privilege caught up with him - now he can spend the rest of his life atoning for his 'White Male Son of Russia' privilege.


Share those cross threads bro - it's an investment you won't regret.

See? You just got your own. That's how privilege works as I mentioned to ODNT. You do it, you get it. Meritocracy. This isn't Commie Checkers where your opponent gets half of your Kings just because he was inattentive enough to get jumped.
C'mon man! You know, the thing.

Bro... you are never going to succeed in the woke Industrial Complex with that attitude. Go ahead and work within your silly meritocracy and see what it gets you.
We need to "awaken together" (Woke Industrial Complex cross thread points).

Now, I am not suggesting that I should get half of someones 'kings' because they posted before me - I am simply calling attention that in contrast to the award of "normal" cross-thread-points we should consider possible alternatives. Just like the ACFT, I am only calling for cross thread points to be awarded as a percentileof the total populace. (ACFT cross thread points - BAM)

It is morally imperative that we come to an agreement as a community (cross thread points from the 'Cross Thread Points' thread) so that we can all share in the joyous cross threading found throughout this wonderful bulletin board.

(**posters note - I petition the moderators for DOUBLE cross thread points since I so masterfully created a thread about cross thread points - and then successfully cross threaded the 'Cross Thread Points' thread**).

A community wide and accepted cross thread points awarding system is the only thing that separates us from the animals. Selfish goals are what led Debbins down his 15 year long road of betrayal - lets be better.
Otherwise, we descend into the dark realm of "Legit Posers" like Ramón Montijo (Fake green Beret cross thread points) and nobody wants THAT to happen.

I extend an Olive Branch and respectfully ask that we all do the right thing. Lets forget about turds that betray the nation or usurp our good name and instead reflect on this weekend to Memorialize our fallen comrades...

...but in keeping with the topic of this thread, traitors like Debbins should live forever and reap all the rewards that they are due

Now wait just a gall-darn minute! I was the one that identified the value in Box's quote and I demonstrated its broad applicability so I should get all the cross thread points! Yeah that's right 100% of the cross thread points if we are operating on metrics, or all if we are imposing minimum standards. You choose.

Well, see what I did there?? I win!

Cross thread points again please!

Bada Bing, Bada Boom!

I'm willing to go as low as 10% on the points - lets call them "royalty points" and you can use the quote in perpetuity...
...as long as I can score some royalties.

After seeing what happened when Prince signed his record deal with Warner Brothers - I need to think of my future. I'm not looking to muscle in on original content and commentary - only on direct quotations - 10% is a fair rate and you know it.

Lord knows this turd Debbins wasn't thinking about the future when he sold out his countrymen.

That's the way it should be! 10% it is then. One caveat: We'll probably need to wait until the "woke industrial complex" thread MFers chime in to complain about our cis-gender, white, male, paternal QP privilege! (You still identify as male don't ya? Ever since the name change thing, I'm not sure and don't want to offend.)

BTW I think I just earned cross-thread points again! That would be a trifecta (3 consecutive posts).

I majored in Chemistry so in order to save time let's just assume that I am always right.

That was a semi cross post but does it count if someone else said it or does it have to be some original post you made ?

It's a deal. I don't even need a contract. Your word is good enough.

Funny you should ask - but No, i do not. I have assumed my own gender detailed in the "This is my truth" thread.
Just a quick rehash - 'Box' is actually my gender identity. My preferred pronoun (for when there are more than one of me) is 'Boxen'
My pronouns focus on the plurality of my gender identity. The plural pronoun for more than ten but less than twenty is 'Boxteen' instead of the more traditional "them" that has been made popular by an oppressive toxic patriarchy.
My preferred alternative pronoun for "them" when there is a shitload of us is 'Boxillion'


To keep from drifting too far off-topic, I would recommend that Ikar Lesnikov also adopt an alternative gender identity as soon as possible. His best shot at avoiding being served up an ugly dish full of just rewards once he gets to prison would be to adopt a gender identity that keeps him out of Gen-Pop.
