LamontCranston's Historical Revisionism

LAME-ont-Cranston strikes again, this time altering an actual conversation in an attempt to appear more witty than he actually is.

In the original comment, LamontCranston did not use the word "fremen", and thus only the most ardent Dune fan would pick up on this 'witticism' of the LC's.

My Asimov question was unrelated to anything he had said previously.

Quote:
<+Warren1984> have you seen the mythbusters NASA moon landing episode
<@Tigger_> yes
<@Tigger_> that was quite good
...
<@Tigger_> though they didn't address my main cause of doubt concerning the Moon landings, the heat exchange system in the suits
...
<+PrometheanStardust> What's this issue with the heat exchange system in the suits?
...
<@Tigger_> the Moon's surface temperature is 120 degrees celsius
...
<+LamontCranston> PrometheanStardust, you need to make sure its a genuine stillsuit and not a copy manufactured in the cities
<+LamontCranston> and they landed during moon night Tigger
<+PrometheanStardust> LamontCranston, are you a fan of Isaac Asimov?

Print the legend.

It is whittled down to what is necessary, extenuating discussions can be cut out.
The fremen addition was a correction of something I said, your complaint would only be valid if I added (or subtracted) from a line of your dialogue
If your question about Asimov is unrelated to my quip, then what on Earth does it have to do with MythBusters or Tigger being goofy?

Uh uh uh! You didn't say the magic word!

The 'fremen' addition was not a 'correction', it was an alteration, to have your statement make sense. Only a lamer like yourself would alter an IRC conversation to present themselves as being able to make a spur of the moment Dune reference.

Including a larger extract of the log gives the reader a chance to recognise the distinct possibility that it took you some time to come up with the "stillsuit" comment. Following Tigger_'s comments, you were so eagerly anticipating a moment to inject this nerd-culture reference, that you didn't give yourself time to craft the comment properly, hence the subsequent historical revision.

My question regarding Asimov was unrelated to anything that had been said earlier.

I will not bother to respond to any further responses from you on this. Consider yourself /ignored.
