Why did you choose your present signature?

[Zebra]

I have just changed mine, so I thought of this question.

Mine is in Latin and says ... Zebra should not be destroyed.

Referring to the famous line that Carthago should not be destroyed.

we have a thread about our nicks, now also one about our signatures.

Haven't been using one. Been considering it, but haven't found one that struck me. Only ones that catch my eye are ones that would piss off one or the other halves of the political divided on here. Personally figure Mods should avoid Sigs that would knowingly piss off half the board.

I see that many have no signature ... but some have.

I can only say that when I sign my name, I write in cursive. I write neater in cursive compared to my printing.

God bless you always!!!

CURRENT SIG:
The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in. Within thirty seconds any pretense was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to smash faces in with a sledge hammer, seemed to flow through the whole group of people like an electric current, turning one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming lunatic... - George Orwell, "Nineteen Eighty-Four"

George Orwell wrote idea about the "Two Minutes Hate" in the days before the 24-hour "news" cycle, the internet and social media (and forums such as this one).

People like to sit in their echo chambers with their closed minds and embrace their hate over their perceived enemies and act out accordingly to that drummed up hatred.

T'is a sad and pathetic life to live.

One of the most useful diagnostic tools available to medical practitioners for centuries is the adage ...

"If you hear hoofbeats, don't think Zebras"

Simply explained is, when you see a sign or symptom that could be an exotic disease, it's not. It's always horses, never zebras.

 

[Zebra]

can you also say why you chose that signatur in your postings?
