Bitches, please. Do you really have such low standards for success that you take someone going momentarily afk as evidence that you've scared them away with your big scary words? Reason to start crowing about how internet-tough you are?
You're all adults, aren't you? So why resort to this school-yard bullying behaviour? Can't you see it's completely ineffective on the internet?
I absolutely adore the fact that you all find it easier to believe there's someone out to get you and I'm just a sockpuppet, rather than accept that when someone criticises you, maybe you're doing something wrong. When it happens once or twice, sure it might be a troll. When it repeatedly happens and your entire site is a mausoleum of users who've left, decorated with "testimonials" from discontented users, held out like some sort of pre-emptive ironic defence, it starts to look a little bit sad. But sure, blame it on trolls, blame it on the economy, blame it on website life-cycles, blame it on the sunshine, blame it on the splitters, blame it on the domain-name-coveting-illuminati.

peace out, wankers.

Yes, Cain. I believe that conversation ended with

Coming on here and declaring open season on me is the petty bullying behaviour that (I see as) part of the problem.

Faust, I hope you're right and I'm wrong, for Eris's sake.
You want my suggestions? Change the board software, discourage this atmosphere of cliques and circle-jerking. Kusaba X is open source. Instate rules and mods who actively discourage the memetic cancers that boards acquire over time, all this daily-post, navel-gazing horseshit. Discourage the import of generic internet culture and try to encourage development of new ideas and fresh content. Might work, might not. Just some suggestions, I'm not omniscient.

There's none so blind as those who won't see.

Ho ho, good rebuttal, chap. That sure proved the forum stats to be something other than what they are!
Dear me.

>There's plenty of debate in the archives where you've argued and defended your reasons for doing what you do impeccably, I'm sure you could effectively out-reason or belittle me as you have done so many other nutcases, but it really doesn't matter how well you can justify it to others or even yourselves if it's not working.

You guys are killing this forum and through it, Dischordianism itself.

The forum stats show that not only are you failing to attract new users, you're actively driving away old ones. I say "you" because there's clearly a core group of users who have been here from near the start, and I say you're the ones doing it because that makes you the only common denominator. It's not a question of people naturally losing interest in the cause/philosophy/religion/whatever, something like this can potentially survive indefinitely; it has no natural life-cycle. Under RAW and his mates, it grew explosively.
But it's obviously dying now. There's plenty of debate in the archives where you've argued and defended your reasons for doing what you do impeccably, I'm sure you could effectively out-reason or belittle me as you have done so many other nutcases, but it really doesn't matter how well you can justify it to others or even yourselves if it's not working.

Have you not noticed or do you just not give a shit? Answers on a postcard, please.

Nope.

Oh, but I insist.

No shit.

What makes you say that?
Is there already a thread on the subject I could read, at least?

I thought you but now I see you ain't even

I was just wondering if any of you relatively intelligent yet curious-minded people had any theories on why meditation is possible, how it works or how we came to have such a capacity?
Why does it have the benefits it does?
From an evolutionary or biological perspective.
I haven't the foggiest meself.

When they have pre-established that "no" is not the safe-word.

"Is there poison in this cake?"

Words, words. They're all we have to go on.
