It seems like she is trying to help and make the world a better place. But, her recent idea (http://dkn255hz262ypmii.onion/index.php?topic=33602.0)  to weed out the kids by her acting as a paid intermediary and providing test kits and drug danger information seemed a little excessive. Possibly a bit pretentious.

A guy on here with a cute girl as his avatar. People around here actually think that's pine, it's sad.

just let it go, not everyone get along, I get it, but no need to start threads about it.  ::)  It's getting old
As far as I'm concerned, pine has helped or tried to help as much possible.  ;)

No, I could never hate her ( <3 pine ). As far as I know, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and ideas. She pitches ideas & opinions, some are good, some less good. It would be worse if she wouldn't bother at all. Like the PGP club is a really good way to teach everyone to use PGP. What I can't understand is why would the OP have a problem with this?(My bet is on jealousy :) ) And who the fuck cares if she is really a she, this forum is anonymous, I can be a blue saber tooth cat...  I would love to see what the OP has pitched/done for this forum...

personally she has helped me with some pgp issues. I am not sure about the "mature buyer" idea. I also like to fantasize that she is as cute as her pic. I like hot girls who know IT shit!

havent been here very long, but i got no qualms with her?
seems to genuinely care about people using pgp, which is an admirable goal!
anyone whose helpful is ok in my book!

Not annoying, generally helpful & occasionally funny.

does it matter who is behind the avatar?

he/she helps out A LOT.. without being rude like some of the other top heads around here.

Post by: simplyanon on August 14, 2012, 09:18 pm
Fucks given = 0

She's helpful. But something about her makes me see her as...not so much arrogant as having a 'Holier than thou' attitude. don't much care either way. I don't really use the SR for the forums, anyways.

Imagine how much more annoying we newbies would be, if we didn't have Pine to turn to for help and advice.

Even if some find her annoying, she more than makes up for it.

And the avatar helps   :)

Post by: SpeedCrunch on August 14, 2012, 10:35 pm
Personally I think Pine is a great contributor to the SilkRoad community.

Especially with his/her? Threads related to using PGP as most new users don't bother with or know how to use PGP which puts them at greater risk.

Plus you got to love that avatar 8)

Just my 2 cents.

Is this thread fucking for real?  I thought I was trippin for a sec.

Pine is pretty smart, certainly interesting and is passionate about this place which apparently are traits that piss off some cranialplegics.  I never read her/his posts about getting kids out and maybe it was pretentious but who really gives a feck?  Throw some ideas out and see what sticks.

Besides, Pine could be as annoying as the bastard child of Glen Beck and a Shih tzu but would pale in comparison to the douche that decides to start a thread about it.

Things I like about pine:
1.  Seems to genuinely want to help the community.
2.  Seems pretty nice for the most part.
Things I don't like about pine:
1.  The picture is known to be a fake from clickflashwhirr online, it isn't her.  It creeps me the fuck out that he/she pretends to be the woman in the photo, just having the photo is one thing but pine has been actively pretending to be the woman in that photo including having a thread about naked pics etc. is just fucking weird and I would appreciate an explanation.  In any event I highly doubt anyone intelligent would wear a vanity scarf. 

2.  I agree that pine has a holier than thou attitude, this wouldn't bother me because pine actually seems to be somewhat knowledgeable in some fields, but it's just such a contradiction when they're also pretending to be a woman and posting about naked pics etc.  Beyond that pines idea to filter out immature users was one of the stupidest ideas I've ever heard, as far as I can tell there isn't a single person on these forums who agreed with it, and she even argued that it was a good idea because of the human psychology of letters vs internet pages, I mean what the fuck?  Honestly I don't find the pgp club to be at all useful either, there are already so many completely satisfactory tutorials on here and on the clear net where you download pgp that it just seems irrelevant.

So I guess I fit the no. 7, pine just rubs me the wrong way, but that's ok because pine helps some noobs etc and seems to be a fairly valuable member of sr community.

I don't think I said that, I was just referring to the thread, or at least trying to.  Doesn't it creep you out that some most likely male poster has a thread dedicated to giving out fake photos of another person while pretending that it is them?

I guess we're all just butthurt because when that clickflashwhirr thing came up all of our dreams were dashed to pieces, honestly I think that everyone would like pine if he/she would just quit pretending to be the chick in the photo and remove that photo, all it serves as now is a reminder that there are no chicks on the internet and that we can still fall for it, I guess I just don't see the point of a serious poster pretending to be a hot woman.  Anyway, how pine always talks about how he/she doesn't do drugs as if trying to impress himself to LE that he assumes is reading his posts as an unbiased source also annoys me, that is a big part of the holier than thou attitude I perceive emanating all around those pixels.

Post by: quinone on August 14, 2012, 11:55 pm
Yes I find HIM arrogant and manipulative in getting groups of people to love him. 

He uses a picture of a girl as his avatar and all the retards around here swarm around him because of it.

He has given SOME helpful advice, but almost everything i've read from him are clear and simple answers that have already been discussed in great depth, in other words he's done little more to contribute to this community then anyone else, yet people flock to him as a god because he has a picture of a girl as his avatar.

He is also brash, and almost rude for unnecessary reasons, not to mention his answers (it may just be a language barrier issue) are disjointed, reciprocal, repetitive, and contradictory to his own statements in the very same post.

Re: my ideas about the world. They are just ideas. I got a lot of flak about my views on drug legalization for example (aside: Not that it affects the validity of my arguments one way or the other but I'm not sure the people who support legalization realize that most SR vendors and staff completely agree with my general point of view on this matter, DPR himself made a entire thread about the subject describing the rationale). Frankly there are some people whose entire raison d'être is summed up by this picture:

https://xkcd.com/386/

If you think I'm wrong, that's perfectly valid, but don't let it bother you into starting antagonistic threads, that is child-like behavior.

Lastly, on the subject of arrogance. Look closely at this picture:

https://secure.flickr.com/photos/clickflashwhirr/5483790718/lightbox/

Do you see arrogance? I think the picture shows somebody who is confident that they are exceptionally attractive and is not afraid of that fact. I see a very Roman looking face and a very Roman attitude, that instant in time shows a great sense of dignitas about her a Roman would say. That to me is admirable. I also have ideas that are absolute in my mind and I am not afraid to declare what I believe to be correct and some others to be wrong. People who constantly nitpick, interpreting every single idea with a relativistic perspective I have zero time for and I think they have weak minds, there is a Giant Difference between a lack of available evidence and merely being indecisive. There are some things that are true, will always be true and that is that.

It is of course, always possible that I am dead wrong. The door is always left open since while some things are absolutes, it does not imply pine actually knows what they all are. I always welcome a sharing of opinions. I am not a theist but I have read the Bible in its entirety. I am not a Communist, but I have read Das Kapital. Differing opinions do not phase me, or I would not bother to start threads soliciting them, I have no time for sycophantic behavior.

Having strong opinions while welcoming new ones with the possibility of changing ones mind is ancient Western tradition. You will notice this place is called a *Forum* and that its inhabitants belong to an *Agora*. It is clear to me that the OP does not have the courage to present his or her true anonymous identity, instead choosing to hide behind alts to express personal grievances and is therefore a coward by definition. You do not belong here unless you respect the traditions of the West. Since you lack the veritas to show your true face, you do not.

I wouldn't worry Pine, I have maybe 3 threads debating how much of a bastard I am today, you should take it as a compliment that you have such an effect on peoples lives, that's how I play it.

As far as Pine being female or male or I dunno some sort of Zebra - If she is the former, she may sit on my face, if she is the interim then he may not and if she is the latter then I enjoy viewing you at the zoo. :)

I'm at about a [5] and your post made me ponder things philosophical, then laugh like a tween at dirty joke.... all within 15 seconds.

When I reach my 100 posts, I'm making sure I come back to THIS post and give you a +1.

If I remember to.. cause I'm high.

I assume most girls on the web are guys, lol ;P

I don't find Pine annoying at all. In fact, I commend her/him for making it easier for the non tech-savvy users on SR to not become intimidated by PGP and the likes. Yes, there are a ton of guides out there that will show one how to use PGP, but some people need someone to hold their hand while he or she is going through the process. If Pine is willing take time out of his/her day to help another person become comfortable with PGP then we have no right to criticize Pine. We should help each other try to use SR as securely as possible, so we can make LE's job as hard as possible.

Lol, this is why I agree with the holier than thou attitude comment so much, pretending to be a girl on the internet to manipulate people is stupid period, don't try and justify it with ramblings on philosophy.  Why the fuck did you choose that picture as your avatar in the first place if as you say, you want to be judged for your actions, why not just leave it blank?  Your post oozes hypocrisy and your ramblings about roman faces etc are so out of place that I don't even know what to say.

Hey Pine, all I can say is I find the women in that picture very attractive, confident and sexy. I respect you anonymity. I'll just go on fantasizing you really look like that pic. And to those who say their are no women on the Internet, that's just silly. I have recently met some very lovely young engineering students from one of the most respected technology schools in the world. They can go stride for stride with any male at the same point in their life. It is certainly true there's a shortage of women in technology, but the number is not ZERO! Rock on Pine. Who gives a shit what the haters think, Say what you want to say. It's a wild new world here. People are free not to read your posts if they don't care for you or your attitude. But know there are some of us who will read them.

I'm really surprised to be reading this, pine is one of this forum's best contributors.

Pine has never tried to pretend to be the girl in his avatar, I remember him posting links to clickflashwhatever's page when asked about it a long time ago.

Admittedly pine's last idea about preventing kids from using SR was not great, but usually his posts are accurate, detailed, and helpful.  Look back at pine's early posts if you want to see him dropping some serious knowledge (lately I feel his initiative has been to help out new members, so his recent posts may seem reiterated or more simple). 

Much love to you pine!

(I am impartial in this argument so don't think I'm taking a pro-Pine or anti-Pine stance by this comment) Seriously dude, what the blue-rated-fuck does that have to do with anything? WHY on earth would you fawn over a picture of someone who you aren't really sure is them? Whether the person in the picture is what you say or not who gives a fuck? It's like you are trying to say that is what Pine is when the picture isn't even them even if she is a fucking female. Get a bloody grip, or go out and get some fucking vagina before you say anything else ridiculous.

Shit like this reminds me just how many virgins we may have on this forum, I don't even like the idea of prostitution much but comments like this almost makes me want to make an exception. Bloody hell.

Yeah, this is what I mean, every time I see pine post it's not just about whatever issue is being discussed, you have to wade through whatever bullshit bland philosophical garbage she feels like spewing even though it isn't related to anything.  What could have possibly made him think that the traditions of the west have anything to do with what we're discussing?  And why shouldn't anyone who doesn't respect western traditions stay here?  Most of all since when does the western world have a monopoly on having a strong opinion and welcoming new ones with the possibility of changing ones mind?  I don't know, fuck if anyone knows, and the sad thing is is that it has nothing to do with anything.

  Also, to kalos, from the naked photos thread:

If it's any consolation, I will give everybody who refers to this thread and who also completes the PGP handshake with me (showing me you can encrypt by sending a msg using my public key, and then being able to decrypt my msg to them I encrypted using their public key) a fullscale (non nude) photograph of pine.

This clearly infers that the person in the photograph is pine, no?  Unless pine was giving out a real photo of himself/herself.

Edit:  Also, I guess I sound really harsh in my posts here, but I just find this all really bizarre, I think pine is pretty smart and I enjoy reading most of his/her posts, I'm just saying what I think about some things that pine does.  I guess just posting about it in the first place makes me a bit of a troll so I'll probably just stop here.

Pine let me experiment with her/him/it(don't judge me!). It was through Pine I shot my first encrypted message and made sure I knew what the hell I was doing so I could conduct some proper deals.

So don't get all uptight about a person on some forum. Pine has for sure helped at least one person and that's enough for me.

I like this place. It has drugs. Don't get your drama in my drugs.

"You do not belong here unless you respect the traditions of the West"

There is an EASTERN CULTURE too.

I'm happy for you that you have a robust vocabulary, but using it to behave in a different manner makes you pretentious.

The phrase "the West" does not refer to a geographical region even if historically the origin of the concept comes from from a small area of the Mediterranean.

See the wiki:

Quote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world

Although the term originally had a literal geographic meaning, contrasting Europe with the linked cultures of civilizations of the Near East (Muslim world), South Asia and remote Far East (Sinosphere)[citation needed], today it has little geographic relevance. Nations generally accepted to be part of the Western world occupy both hemispheres created by the arbitrary division of the earth at Greenwich or strongly related to Europe.

The concept of the Western part of the earth has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, with the advent of Christianity. In the modern era, Western culture has been heavily influenced by the traditions of Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Enlightenment, and shaped by the expansive colonialism of the 16th-20th centuries. Its political usage was temporarily informed by a mutual antagonism with the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War in the mid-to-late 20th Century (1945–1991).

In the contemporary cultural meaning, the Western world includes many countries of Europe as well as many countries of European colonial origin in the Americas and Oceania, such as the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, etc.

In addition, a country like Japan is part of the West. It has a relatively democratic process & free markets. Those, among others, are the ideals of the West.

Similarly, China is becoming more Western due to its acceptance of markets, and eventually it will reach a point where it can be definitively said to be part of the West. It is almost there economically for example.

Again, "the West" is an idea, not a place.

In any case I would never argue that geographically Eastern philosophers are generally inferior to geographical Western ones. Some are strong and some are weak. For example, I have little time for Confucianism but have a good deal of respect for Taoist and Shinto thought.

Nations generally accepted to be part of the Western world occupy both hemispheres created by the arbitrary division of the earth at Greenwich or strongly related to Europe.

The concept of the Western part of the earth has its roots in Greco-Roman civilization in Europe, with the advent of Christianity. In the modern era, Western culture has been heavily influenced by the traditions of Renaissance, Protestant Reformation, Age of Enlightenment, and shaped by the expansive colonialism of the 16th-20th centuries. Its political usage was temporarily informed by a mutual antagonism with the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War in the mid-to-late 20th Century (1945–1991).

In the contemporary cultural meaning, the Western world includes many countries of Europe as well as many countries of European colonial origin in the Americas and Oceania, such as the United States of America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, etc.

In addition, a country like Japan is part of the West. It has a relatively democratic process & free markets. Those, among others, are the ideals of the West.

Similarly, China is becoming more Western due to its acceptance of markets, and eventually it will reach a point where it can be definitively said to be part of the West. It is almost there economically for example.

Again, "the West" is an idea, not a place.

In any case I would never argue that geographically Eastern philosophers are generally inferior to geographical Western ones. Some are strong and some are weak. For example, I have little time for Confucianism but have a good deal of respect for Taoist and Shinto thought.

Uh, I was not referring to a geographical location, how dare you just make such a brazen assumption?  I was referring to the cultural dichotomy in our society, the media and people in general have just blanket termed these as 'Western cultural traditions" etc.  You speak and act as if you're so well cultured yet you took my sentence as literally meaning the western hemisphere of the world.

One other thing, don't ever quote wiki.  Wiki is not a source, if you have post secondary education you'd know never to cite WIKIPEDIA as your counter claim.  Seriously ?????

I was never 'angry' at you before Pine, but now i'm PISSED because you are muddling words together to construe a confusing picture of whatever the hell you are talking about.

That behavior and linguistics is equivalent to a graduate art's student.

  Also, to kalos, from the naked photos thread:

If it's any consolation, I will give everybody who refers to this thread and who also completes the PGP handshake with me (showing me you can encrypt by sending a msg using my public key, and then being able to decrypt my msg to them I encrypted using their public key) a fullscale (non nude) photograph of pine.

This clearly infers that the person in the photograph is pine, no?  Unless pine was giving out a real photo of himself/herself.

I see what you're saying, but when I read that I took it as a joke.  Knowing how paranoid pine is about being profiled, he would never release a picture of himself, ergo he must be joking. 

But is it really that bad if he did mislead people anyway?  What if more members learned to use PGP as a result?

I can see how pine's nerdy sense of humor and occasional 'holier-than-thou' attitude would put people off, but seriously, we're active posters on a deep web forum, I'd expect that we all have a few personality defects.

I ordered a security order from AfterHour too because I heard good things. So yeah much Valium needed lol. :P

What exactly do you have against her? This is clearly more than someone just annoying you, you clearly have a beef or have some motive to try and start one. Stop being a pussy and actually say what you wana say, using your throw-away account was a dick-move too.

I thought that myself. It certainly comes across as something with personal motivation rather than a passing opinion.



FWIW, I enjoy reading Pine's educational and informative posts. I may not always agree with everything he/she says, but I'd sure as hell rather read the discussions he/she initiates/provokes rather than some of the drivel posted here. Regardless, even if he/she was annoying I'd see it as irrelevant considering the time and effort he/she devotes to helping newbies in a non-daunting and friendly way. Those sorts of actions are worth a hell of a lot around here IMO.

I know many will think this a troll post, but I can assure you its not, even though yeah, I made a shill account to write it.

If I was to put money on anyone in this forum being LE, it would be Pine.

The massive number of posts in a very short time, all lengthy, informative and well-written - this is a poster with a mission.  This is someone who somehow has an incredible amount of time on their hands to help the community of SR and has an extraordinary amount of knowledge on diverse topics that will be of interest to us.  This is someone angling to be elevated to Mod as soon as possible.

I think Pine is great, just like most of our resident clever fuckers.  Anyone who feels like Pine is trying to come across as a know-it-all should ask themselves why they feel so threatened by clever people.  Maybe the problem is not Pine's intellect, but your own?

As for the he/she factor, who gives a flying fuck.  It's not like you'd ever get to lay a chick from an anonymous drug forum anyway, so why does it matter.  It's like me getting pissed at the guy above me for pretending to be a mushroom.  :-\

EDIT, I meant the guy above the shill.  ;)

Yeah OK "MostConcernedCitizen". I'd put money on YOU being LE. You morons think that you are actually infiltrating communities and convincing people that you're one of them, when its so obvious that you aren't. Its just like the "patriotic internet terrorists" that supposedly DDOS'ed Wikileaks recently (and their leader claimed to have the nickname "DietPepsi"). We all know its you. People, don't fall for this bullshit.
