Did anyone else read their old shite and feel sick with embarassment?

It was 9 years ago but jeez what a tool.
Oh well at least Bart was kind enough to give folk control over their 'work'.

50/50, I like some of it, but I see towards the end when my drinking really started fucking me over.

Yes, pretty much all of it.
"I'd like to go back and talk to that kid. I'd like to try to talk some sense to him."
Of course, I wouldn't have listened.

I look back on my first posts with fondness. The comments helped me a lot. I learned how to format and put a space after a comma here....

I've saved most of my old work. I forgot to save all the comments, so I'll go back and do that. I legitimately enjoyed writing all of it. Most of the writing formed spontaneously from a concept, a few sentences or a title, and I would flesh out a story based on that. I can't remember most of them as individual pieces because they were just some of my constantly passing thoughts that would ordinarily be forgotten if I didn't write them down.
I'll add little notes here and there to clarify things for future me, though I probably won't need them. Once I have everything saved to my satisfaction, I'll probably delete all of them (Leaving the current post-shutdown work intact). I should have just asked for a .zip file of everything when bart offered it while the site was down.
I'll probably write here more often eventually, but the magic seems to be gone from this place. It's kind of like remembering how hard you tried writing a big paper in middle school, then finding out that they just get thrown away after they get a grade. The memories are fond and what you wrote is generally unimportant, but if you knew then what you know now, you probably wouldn't have put in the same kind of effort.

I believe Bart is referring to Godwin's Law.

Is the emphasis on the below supposed to be on "dumb" or "Nazi"? I.e., are they a "dumb Nazi" (similar to a soup Nazi), meaning they are Nazi's about dumb people? Or are they simply a "dumb Nazi", meaning they are a Nazi, and not a particularly intelligent Nazi?
Inquiring minds would like to know.

It used to be that you could have a polite orderly argument with someone on the Internet. You would supply a bevy of evidence. The other party would concede. The both of you would shake virtual hands, nod virtual heads, wink, and say "Charming fight, good day to you sir!" and go about your day.
Now, everyone is a dumb Nazi.

I'm more embarrassed about all the e-fighting I did with Überers back in the day. I was a spaz.

Me too. It was kind of fun though.

Some of it, yeah. Most of it, no. Not that my old stuff is actually good writing or anything like that, just that I'm not embarrassed to the level of nausea about it.

not really. in fact I sometimes like to read the old shit, gives me an insight into how I was feeling at the time. Like a diary, but with far more trolling.

Yup so I cleared it all out, which I kind of regret but I had stuff in there that that I asked to get removed back in 2003, I was pleased to get the opportunity.
