This guy actually came to PD and debated with us, but flounced after he made up his mind. Someone else might refresh us as to what happened there.

Yes, this was Laz.  He came here and acted all interested in the BIP.  Then he started asking questions, then he started disagreeing alot, and not getting it.  Then we came to find out that he really really didn't get it when someone stumbled upon this website.  Because as opposed to AKK, I don't think he bothered once to plug his site.  He obviously was here to gather material for his site.  There is a thread in this subforum somewhere where LHX, LMNO, and myself all wrote responses to his critique of the BIP.  I'll see if I can find it and add the link here.

Whoa, I checked that guy's site, he appears to be really stupid but have decent web development skills WTF.

I am going to assume that he is unemployed, based on his website.

Here is the thread where some of us tore apart his summation of BIP:

And here are the two threads where the bulk of the exchanges with Laz occurred:

Oh look, he has a page for Wade:

Whoa, that Benaclypse dude was kind of a dick.

[LMNO]

Yeah.  He was.

And also that thread was the impetus for the wiki.  I suppose something good came out of it afterall.

I have broken free of the BIP and I find that it is actually a lonely place, it is not populated with individuals, but it does not have any further walls and is not devoid of life. It is a free place that is to be explored and learnt from.

This paragraph alone makes it painfully clear that you have no understanding of what we are saying.  You obviously took a quick glance at the metaphor and it,Äôs symbolism, and came to a quick conclusion based upon your own biases, as opposed to the extensive dialogs that can be found here.

It looks more like this "closer to God" guy is trying to pass himself off as some sort of guru or swami.  "Hey, look at me!  I've already transcended everything you are experiencing!".  Unfortunately, that still won't get him laid on the internet.

Oddly enough, here's Payne's piece "The Toymaker" translated into portugese

whyyyyy are there so many Brazillian Discordians?

Apparently one of the most famous blogs there is run by a Discordian.  It may give it that sort of internet/media cred and recognition that it does not have over here.

This has inspired me to decide to spend next winter in Sao Paulo.

Argh.  What a cabbage.

Is the Benaclypse from here http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=11541.0

The same one who gave us.....

"The mainstream is a sewer. Learn to swim!" - Benaclypse

???

Because THAT is one of my favorite memes.

Otherwise.  I remember the Closer to God guy.  Thought he was the know all end all of everything.  Came here telling the people who actually wrote the BIP how they were wrong and shit?  Same asshole right?

[AFK]

Laz.  And at first, he seemed interested in what we were doing.  Maybe it was an act, who knows.  But then he started arguing, and it was the arguing without listening act.  Then he left.  Then he did the write-up on closertogod.  I sent him a couple e-mails inviting him to come back and answer a few questions we had about the write up but he's never come back.

First time I've been in this thread and ironically, I saw this earlier: hxxp://ursulav.livejournal.com/851452.html?thread=32755196#t32755196
If I'm correct in my thinking that OM is ours, then Hemlox has obviously heard of us somewhere. And Neintales has at least heard of Discordianism.
