The thread in question: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...you-knew-about-women-is-hopw-raewur-ne.73517/
Surf Solar's thread was originally a treasure cove of codex lore, yet it now lies in obfuscation as Surf Solar has edited out his original posts. You will observe that in foundational texts of the past (ex. The Declarations of the Rights of Man, The Declaration of Independence) it has been the uniform policy to claim and assert our liberties as an entailed inheritance derived to us from our forefathers, and to be transmitted to our posterity — as an estate specially belonging to the people of this kingdom, without any reference whatever to any other more general or prior right. By this means our lore preserves a unity in so great a diversity of its parts. Yet as it stands today our lore is defiled and incomplete, as Surf Solar has purposely edited his posts, originally foundational in codex lore.
A sense of history is what separates us from the beasts inhabiting the world. Restated, humanity differentiates itself from animals by its rational faculties. the foremost of which is manifested in our recognition and preservation of our past, of history. If history is, as Pascal said, an immortal man who continuously learns, we can know a priori that this man has a true visage of his past; by definition learning requires the faculty of memory, a sense of progression, the knowing that he has gained and understood new knowledge which transforms his thought by manifold refraction to the new present, which is by its very nature tied to the his past and future.
Thus, through the coward Surf Solar's editing of his posts, he has robbed the Codex of its own history, and by that act subverted the fundamental characteristic of what separates us from beasts. That is, a sense of preservation, of recognition of the past, of conservation by which we mimic Nature through our artificial institutions--this he has destroyed through his cowardice.
Henceforth, I demand that the administration restore the Surf Solar's thread to its original state, i.e., before Surf Solar edited his posts in an attempt to best represent the form of of utter inane banality. Here I stand; I can do no other. Men, lend me your replies in agreement!
