Quote:Replacing it with the word 'retard' belies a fundamental lack of respect towards members, No, it belies a fundamental lack of respect for the word SWIM and SWIMing. Considering how the word has no place in an intelligent discussion I am of the opinion that using it shows a lack of respect... I would not actually change it to retard, and i agree that a sticky would be fine.

I don't bother holding back on saying whatever I like, whether it is claiming to do an extraction for myself in the future or not. Any law enforcement people deciding to investigate me and my posts will clearly see that I am more interested in self knowledge and helping I whatever ways I can to give back to science and humanity (not to mention helping the trees). I don't even know if I will actually do any of this (extraction) in the future or not, so anyone wasting their time and resources on me go for it, consider me a designated decoy if you will from actual criminals. Dropping in a red herring here and there is great as well  Throughout recorded time and long before, trees have stood as sentinels, wise yet silent, patiently accumulating their rings while the storms of history have raged around them --The living wisdom of trees, Fred Hageneder

SWIM thinks that using SWIM is about as effective as getting caught with drugs in your front pocket and saying "uhh... that's not mine. I've never seen that before in my life... I was just holding it for a friend." What I mean by this is: both are widely used, and are equally ineffective.

Although I do have complete respect for free speech, via the net or otherwise.. the other side of the coin is that we know who you are, SWIM'rs.   Don't be afraid. Be honest and open. 'What's going to happen?' 'Something wonderful.'
Skip the manual, now, where's the master switch?
We are interstellar stardust, the re-dox co-factors of existence. Serve the sacred laws of the universe before your time comes to an end. Oh yes, you shall be rewarded.

I stopped using SWIM a long time ago. However, I do prefer to speak as a representative for my bunny, since he can't use the Internet

If you were to come under investigation do you honestly feel using "my bunny" protects you? If so you might want to look for a single case where it provided adequate defense from prosecution.

Honestly, it's just more fun that way

SWIM posts in the 1st person after a few sentences, anyway... But not me! No, seriously. I swear. "In this secret room, from the past, I seek the future..."
