The dude was an inspiration to me growing up.
Agreed. Dude was sharp as fuck and beat people to near death with logic. By the time I started Uni I was well ahead of my peers and, literally, the only reason I can think of is Totse in general - arguing strongly with people that had sharply contrasting views and were vicious in their rhetoric - and Rust's approach to argumentation as strong influences in my writing and thinking.

Yeah I am in the exact same camp my man.
It's kinda cool to run into someone who has that same appreciation.
I posted a bunch on Totse and Zoklet. Not a prominent figure by any means but I had like 3000 - 5000 (or was it 10,000? fuck knows....) posts on zoklet alone by the end. Main rival was Darkhunter and Crazy Mike. Loved those guys and their weird ass ideas. I've been gone for years more or less. Occasionally on TinyBLTC to catch up with Panthrax et al.
I do remember the name gadzooks faintly.

Anyways, it seems like a lot of users were lost on the last 2 totse2 fagfests but there's been much more activity lately
That's, uh, sweet.

I'm not sure if Rust ever lost a debate, or if he did he usually had the ability to somehow convince you the other person was a moron. That said, he did have to deal with Malice and the like a lot so it wasn't a huge leap to make. Rust seemed to know his shit though. One of the only posters that appeared to genuinely understand some of the more complex nuances of scientific methodology. And that long fucking fluoride thread (of the countless ones that existed over the years), from what I remember, was Rust dominating and pointing out simple shit like the dosages in Malice/whoever's posts were already massively beyond what was recommended as safe, or contained shit like lead in addition to fluoride.
Fuck I debated Darkhunter the fucking cop for like 50 pages once about affirmative action. Good times. I imagine Rust just got bored with the level of debate and entertainment here when it dwindled to rock-bottom and most people just left out of boredom.

What y'all reading?
The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus like the angsty teen I was a decade ago and, apparently, still am. Oddly I didn't need existentialism/absurdism then, but it certainly is some sort of shield from suicide.

Have you ever been mugged?
Yeah. In Cambodia I went to buy some yabba (asian meth) with some sketchy local guy on his motorbike. Stupid idea from the get go but whatever. Ended up at a brothel smoking it with a bunch of hookers who then got pissed at me when I didn't want to fuck any. Mind you, this is all in a very dangerous part of Siem Reap. After we finish the gear and the hookers said something I couldn't understand that indicated their anger at me not wanting to fuck, I left. When I got outside some little, seedy druggo looking cunt came up to me, pulled out a knife and started demanding money. I was pretty high so didn't immediately react and said something like "come on, mate, you gotta be fucking kidding". When he insisted I showed him my wallet and he took everything in it (20 bucks).
He left and I walked off with the rest of my cash in a secret pocket I use when traveling dangerous countries. Pretty good experience really. Fairly polite robbery too. Dude wasn't screaming at me, just calmly asking for my money while brandishing a relatively small knife. I might have tried to leg it if I had any clue where I was and there was anywhere with people nearby.
