The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Old guy, here...

WTF is a "glowie"?

[–] LupertEverett 21 points 13 hours ago (5 children)

It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"

That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.

The CIA relation is racist? Or the fact the chanoids added the n word at the end?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure there's at least one quote of Davis himself using the n-word to refer to federal agents before describing how bright they glow..

I blame 4chan's constant harassment of the man for his speech and early death. They invaded his live streams and gaslit him into believing, among other things, that he was in a relationship with someone else. Collectively, I think they're responsible for his suicide.

Didn't a lot of the people from back in the old 4chan days move over to KiwiFarms? This feels like it would be a kiwifarms thing these days rather than 4chan
