Slightly disappointed to google his name and not find a blog full of hatin'-on-the-muslims.

[thebitterguy]

He did start a Facebook group dedicated to "environmentalism through reduced immigration". Is that a good start?

Where is the guy located? Is he hating on the Muslims, or the Mexicans?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

He's Canadian and I thought he was in Toronto. I would have sworn he was more likely to be ahating the Muslims (and the first draft of this reflected this) but I did google this up:

"All references to drugs are for entertainment purposes only. Pierre
Savoie does not condone or promote Satanism, belief in magic, drug use,
Mexicans, violence, sexual deviation, body piercing, Marilyn Manson music,
cynical attitudes towards the government, freedom of expression, or any
other action or belief not condoned by the authorities. Bummer."
--paraphrase of the OVER THE EDGE disclaimer.

which is from something he posted, not someone else's post.

He lives in Toronto. Occasionally we go to the same Karaoke bar.

I wouldn't know about him except for a chance encounter at a union meeting when I was a teaching assistant at the University of Toronto. I guess he was just as enthusiastic about RPGs and atheism online as he was in person.

"rec.games.frp.misc...now there's a name I haven't heard in quite some time..."

Wow. Yep, that took me back, all right. I guess I could get used to being permanently bulemic...

... Also prohibited are so-called drum breaks longer than half a bar in four-quarter beat (except in stylized military marches); the double bass must be played solely with the bow in so-called jazz compositions; if a pizzicato effect is absolutely desirable for the character of the composition, strict care must be taken lest the string be allowed to patter on the fingerboard which is henceforth strictly forbidden.

All light orchestras and dance bands are advised to restrict the use of saxophones and substitute for them a suitable folk instrument ...

A saxophone is a folk instrument!

Interesting, when I clicked the link I saw a message from Michael Gross, which reminded me of someone who I knew from FASS. But, I think the guy I knew was John Gross now that I think of it...


I remember a conversation he had with Louise Love, they said they shouldn't get married and hyphenate their kids names. It would end up as Gross-Love or Love-Gross.

And of course, NONE of this has anything to do with what you posted.

Whoah. Louise Love. There's a name I have not thought of in years.
