WOOT!!! TotP due to Kink! That is soooooooo Kinky! ~wicked smile~
I think he's on FB. I can't check FB right now. Can someone else check?Honestly hope not but well we all need a time out once in awhile. of course he isn't the only one.Thing hasn't been on today. Makes me wonder if he got the banhammer put on him.It was hammered twice.WTF happened on the religious thread?Other than it has ballooned up to over 200+ posts that I've yet to read ... perhaps I did the wise thing?
EDIT: Seeing as Ross showed up on my recent poster's list to that thread, I assume the diplomacy hammer is being smashed down. I'll have to peek now....
I can't post from work. That is why I hadn't posted earlier. I ate dinner when I got home too.
Well, it had something to do with this post:
But getting back the subject at hand. I just feel like I can't discuss my opinions on this with out sounding like a bigoted idiot.
Paul Watson had what I considered a civil and appropriate response:
At the risk of being uncivil, if you think what you're saying makes you sound like a, to use your words, "bigoted idiot", does it not make you question whether you should be holding views you appear to be embarassed by?
And Samnell responding with this which I found to be a mockery of civil discussion:
I shall accept your preferred term for yourself. You ought to know.
That was a slap in the face of a person bowing out in a self-deprecating manner. I found nothing about it to be civil. But, he didn't stop there:
I've observed the same about every opponent of same-sex marriage. I do not consider this a coincidence.
I took issue with that since I had engaged in discussion with him on the subject. "Took issue" is an understatement. So, I challenged him to put his money where his mouth is and show that my arguments were "bigoted and idiotic". I think I demonstrated otherwise, but what do I know...
In a different thread, Samnell had gone on a long tirade calling out conservatives as being racist and adding a little caveat that he wouldn't say every single one was racist. Not wihing to waste the time like I did yesterday, I simply responded with a slew of curse words.
Erik Mona stepped in and chastised me. He said that he wouldn't get me suspended because it would look like he was taking sides and favoring one argument. He then said that if I took issue with what he stated about conservatives then I should take the time to prove they aren't racist. I didn't waste my time on Samnell that evening.
Last night was different. Moreover, due to the nature of what was said and that Erik Mona had explicitly stated to me that I should challenge it instead of just adding a slew of curse words, I think they decided not to take action other than delete a couple of posts of mine toward the end with Bugleyman.
But, I could be wrong on why I did or didn't receive the banhammer...
That, is what happened in a nutshell.
I had multiple tabs open and accidentally posted that in a most wrong thread for doing so. Oops.
I gave up catching up and only read the last ten pages... sigh
Hope things are ok with Taig.

I don't think so; he's just AWOL at this point.

Dahh, I am so bad about keeping track of these type of things. I think I owe one to the monkey too, if I am right.
Evening all!
Well, the farming goes on, and remains a work in progress. Got a few books of the Sandman graphic novel series by Neil Gaiman (the boyfriend of Amanda Palmer, lucky duck =P) thanks to a birthday gift from my super-awesome dad (well, he threw me a few bones, but the thought was there, and considering I am 43 I really can't b!~!!).
@Freehold: I'm glad you got to celebrate your heritage. That's always cool. When I discovered I was actually a displaced Canadian of Scottish descent it was a lot of fun to go up to Cape Breton and hear all the stories and such (and see my 1,000+ relatives ... the winters are awful long up there)
@Moorluck: $40 tips are good. Gator wrestling ... umm ... not so much?
@Aberzombie: I'd love to tour a brewery with you, even though I am no longer a beer drinker so much. I'd make an exception. It's ben awhile since I hung with beer afficianatos. You should come up and do the Sam Adams sometime.
@Thing: Stay away from those threads. They do nothing but bring your blood pressure up, trust me. Certain folks are never so happy as when they can get a rise outta you ..
@CJ: Thanks for the well wishes!
Happy Belated Birthday, Moff. :)+1

I guess I need to use that thing for some of the things it can do. What is the monkey's real name again? ;)
@ Patrick
I know. I'm an idiot.
Awright folks. My sagittarian wanderlust and exasperated wife are telling me to go into manhattan to check out los gamers aya. Will post once I return, or perhaps even from the gaming table. Until later on...
Yah bday is tomorrow. But tonight I must fly for now .. cya!

Rumor has it tomorrow (or today depending on where you are).Happy Belated Birthday, Moff. :)+1

I caught some of this info while I was at work but forgot and didn't reread it when I came home.
On a side note, I am trying to gather info on naval ships (US and other) of the late 1800s and there isn't nearly as much out there as I thought there would be.
Signing out for a while. See ya.
It was an interesting day, I got in a fight with a 6' gator, and I got a $40 tip! O_o
You have gator problems in South Carolina?
Finally on, see everyone has been busy.
Glad CRD has simmered down now. I glanced, but I'll run through it again here in a few. Saw that some posts were deleted, I want to know if I had anything deleted. :\
I think it was limited to a very few posts that explicitly called out another poster or one with said post in quotes.

Yeah, I haven't noticed anything gone yet. AFAIK, I have only one, maybe two deleted posts on here. I wonder if one of the admins could verify that though.

It gave me a few more questions. I don't know if I've ever seen the topic actually discussed before. I'd actually be curious to see Mairkurion's take on the question too.

Well, if those boxes of books are in the way, then you could always send them to me. I am more than willing to take the hit for the team.Time to go tackle the great beast of laundry.
That is, if I can climb over the mountain of boxes containing game books. Those suckers are so heavy you need to pack them into smaller boxes. But, that means an absurd number of boxes for my collection.
Wish me luck!
Oh sure, just let me get your add.....wait a minute! Hey! :)
I think if conservatives aren't cannibals, they should be willing to prove they aren't cannibals.

Consider these as a gift, since you & Solnes are doing the tremendous favor of allowing me to couch surf for four days so the trip can be made possible for my out-of-work ass. Much appreciated. :D

What's Up Doc?
The Civil Religious Thread -- SP asked about what religion (probably namely Christianity) or the Bible says about "Hatred". And/Or how to deal with it.
Before I got laid off I worked as a graphic designer/marketer. After I got laid off the whole idea of computer graphic design just made my stomach turn. This is my first cartography project in a year and the first time I have really cracked open a graphics program with the intent on doing something major.
For the most, it feels okay. I am happy to start doing some of this again.
Hunh. You and my girlfriend should meet sometimes. She has her B.A. in Graphic Design and should get her certificate for Web Design next month from CSCC. She's been working as a freelancer for Max & Erma's through The Creative Group for the past two years (she had lost her previous job when she was down in Cincy back in May '08).
It would do good for her to gab with someone who's familiar with the tools of the trade (and to expand her pool of friends here in Cols).

That is SCALPING!!! I plan on protesting! I will PROTEST!!! How dare you do that to me!!!
Oh and before I go... Happy Birthday Pat! :D
It's already the 18th here, so I can wish you before everybody else. ;)
Where are you?
It was my B-Day yesterday. I've still got most of "y'all" beat by a few years.
You hid your birthday from us on FB. Blasphemer! :P
Oh, any particular beer brand? Or do you guys just wanna hit the stores for that when you get here? We don't drink much so we don't care what kind ya'll want.
Like Uri, I am not much of a beer drinker, more liquor. So I might just tag along with him to store when I get there.
I don't think so; he's just AWOL at this point.I know he hadn't posted but did I miss something else?I gave up catching up and only read the last ten pages... sigh
Hope things are ok with Taig.
I heard from him this morning. He got some quality time to spend with the missus with the kids out and had a number of things that came up that took away his time. He should be back on this evening. :D

The Civil Religious Thread -- SP asked about what religion (probably namely Christianity) or the Bible says about "Hatred". And/Or how to deal with it.
This would be a big chew. We'd have to start out trying to figure out the relationship between what the Hebrew Bible meant by hatred, what the Christian tradition means by hatred, and what the contemporary questioner means by hatred, and then look for the overlapping areas between those three. I think we'd find the three circles would not overlap perfectly, and in the case of the Hebrew Bible, that circle might be fairly off the other two.

I'm going to have to +1 Pat on this. It'd probably do you justice just to take 20 on your Will saves and let those threads be. There are times I wince when I'm reading your responses when you lose your cool. It won't do you any good and frankly it's a waste of time as the debates are really going to resolve nothing as most people are going to remain entrenched within their position. No one's going to win a trophy for winning the internet. ;)

Not bad at all is right! The FKPA and BOL are practically STEALS! Everything else was half off. Wish I could have found more for you, but I expect this will do to tide you over. :D

That ... along with the problem / origin of Evil. Big League Chews.
I picked up some interesting books over the weekend. I wonder if there's a 12 Step Program to HPB. Ughhhh...
BTW, do you get/use the educator discount?

Don't have the rest, but I found Races of Faerun very good, and Magic of Faerun was excellent.

I should heed this advice as well. :/ I did for the longest too.
Woo-Hoo! My Season 2 of Relic Hunter has shipped!

Well, I'm also interested in your personal opinion on the subject as much as anything else. My main purpose at the moment is trying to figure out if hatred as a state of being has a telos. What is the point?
