Mike is our leader. Our hero. We celebrate Mike now.

Mike this, Mike that. We live for Mike.

-- Hope / Steven

You'll go the way of all the MikeC pretenders Hope,

you'll resort to the kill filter or just drift away like

all the others who can't resist taking on MikeC in battle.

-- china_k9

mike c, - you're still annoying as hell, but I

have to almost agree with you yet again.

...oh my god, am I converting?????? HELP ME!!!!!!

-- Monte

Mikie my dear I never thought I would say this but

I am beginning to argree with you ! ROFLMAO

OH GAWD !! I AM DOOMED for sure now

-- Bonesy

It's getting scary how correct Mike is becoming...

-- Fungusamungus

Please don't ever change Mike. As you stated yourself

"the reader has all the choices" and I choose

to be amused by reading your posts every day!

-- dp

... reading newsgroups is a low-efficiency, however highly

amusing process. A newsgroup is neither a CNN news

summary, nor an academic dispute - and the Mike C.

phenomenon is a brilliant (and absolutely free) reminder

of this.

-- Mike Minovski

...I have to admitt that I even sometimes like

those "fights" who others have with Mike C.,

it´s like your daily dose of "funnies" or "cartoons".

-- Olaf

I find him harmless and generally somewhat

amusing, although what amuses me even

more is how everyone ELSE goes off the deep

end over him. Which is his precise intention,

and works exactly as he plans.... Mike C,

Aggravation Architect.

-- Diz

As for "stupid" and "silly", I find that the way he uses

them to be quite innocuous. It is designed to just barely

creep under the skin of those who are susceptible and

thus begins the game. I find it entertaining.

-- Mike P C

I don't think I'm on my own when I say "Fuck off

unless you can be civil".

-- Adam Palmer

Chuckle. I can understand that view from someone

that is attempting to "ride" the "beast". If you are

the "other" and not the "beast" that point of view

would seem natural enough. I don't have that view.

I am the "beast".

-- Mike C.

I'd like to nominate this quote for the hall of fame.

Do YOU, Mike C., think you have what it takes to join

the immortals?

-- cpg

Can you guess the value Mike will place on that

comment? lol

-- Garry Lacey

(Mike) C is guilty of no greater crime than of

calling a few people silly and replying to those

who don't like being called silly, and calling

them silly some more.

-- Stephan Ahonen

...Sometimes I just laugh at your silliness, [Mike Dean].

Yep that's a 'Mike C.' word. It's a good one.

-- Nightingail

I believe the "Comprehensive Beveling

Non-Disclosure Treaty" of 1998 prevented the

release of filter technology to 3rd world newbies.

I heard Tom Clancy is writing a new thriller about

the whole mikey/bevel security breach...it's gonna

be called "The Hunt For Chuckling Hippies."

"..jealous of Mike C.." <chuckle>

*claps hands over mouth*!! OMG! I just "chuckled"!

Now this is funny. If it was any more fun, it wouldn't

be the newsgroups.

-- Inner Oasis

Several people were on "The List" more than me.

That really pisses me off.

-- c-tide

To tell ya the truth, I enjoy Mike C's written posts.

No harm is done. If one's ego is bruised by what Mike

states, then that person has other issues to resolve.

I neither condone or admonish Mike for his opinions,

for that's what they are..opinions. Deal with it.

It's evident by the lengthy replies to his posts that

others enjoy sparring with him and he seems willing to

oblige.

I suspect Mike C enjoys watching others make Asses of

themselves, again and again and again.

Keep on truckin Mike.

-- David Grand

A lot of people rail against Mike for his work, and

his response (which goes further to irk them than his work)

is a simple "Your opinion doesn't matter to

me." And you know what? He's absolutley right.

-- grayehound

Mike is such an individualist, it likely wouldn't matter to him.

Also, he's not without his fans. Some of us admire his

steadfast attitude, although it can be rough on the unwary.

-- Ronald Vick

Wait, I thought you WERE evil! You're not Darth Vader's

mentor? There goes my alt.design.graphics / Star Wars theory.

Hey this is fun! LALALAL...*Dances around the NG with

fingers in ears* LALALA! Idonothearmikey Idonothearmikey.

A ... word to those - not just Beth -who killfile Mike C and

then pretend to crow about it. Mike C probably likes it

when you run inside the house to Mamma and then stick

your tongue out at him through the curtains. Why?

Because when you taunt him you acknowledge that you

are terrorized by and attracted to him. And because he

knows sooner or later you'll have to walk to school alone ...

You are grownups acting like children.

-- Mike Russell

Mike could just ignore posts he finds silly, but he chooses

to express himself -- normally in ways that get people to

express themselves. In fact, that's what he's here for, to find

"silly" posts. It's his little ten-times-a-day easter egg hunt.

That's the game.

-- RossF

Mike is not disguising anything. He is the most "up-front"

poster I've seen here. He has no hidden agenda or pretense.

What he does is very straight-forward and he even tells

you he's doing it.

-- Mike P C

As long as there are people around who care more about

what others are doing than about just getting on with

their own thing, then there's a place for Mike C in my heart.

-- Grant Hood

I neither like nor dislike Mike C. I am merely amused by

the reaction he gets whenever his name is taken in vain.

I love watching the pseudo brainiacs take Mike on and

have to resort to filtering him out when he constantly wins.

-- china_k9

How is it that the people most annoyed by Mike C always

end up being FAR more annoying themselves? Mikey

has this special power to whip people into a yammering

frenzy of goofiness.

-- Manx

Mike C. is less of a problem than his legion of respondents.

-- Don Ellis

Bang your head against MikeC's wall all you want. You

will not win. That's all i'm saying.

-- janeecake

Mike C. gives the newsgroup a bit of personality and

character. Every good story needs conflict ... without it,

the story is boring. I'd probably never got nearly so

interested in this forum as quickly as I did without him

and his Net Toys.

-- Flowerpot

[Mike C.] Theres a man who stands up for what he

believes in and continues to make many groups

dynamic and interesting.

May the ghost of Mike C

fry your hard drive while you sleep!

-- Garry Lacey

Why do I have this mental image of the voice of Mike C

floating over the internet...

-- Peter Tutty

I have a feeling there's some kind of Mike C underground

forming in my school, because lately I've been finding his

":^) ® symbol written on the blackboards in all my classes...

-- Stephan Ahonen

Joined this ng for all the obvious reasons. But now just

come here to read the "Mike C." posts. ... learning to laugh

at all the foolishness has been more rewarding than the

amount of knowledge I have gained here. I would not trade

all the wisdom in the world for the ability to laugh.

-- Gary (GfxRookie)

I think Mike C. needs a statue somewhere, bigger than life-size

and modeled of some totally indestructible material that

attracts yet resists pigeon poop.
