This is me fire breathing at a house party. Yes, that is real fire.  That is not an illusion or photoshop manipulating. Hot shit, you might say?

Yes and no.

I bring you this image because a number of those who shall not be named think they are the greatest thing since sliced bread, the hot shit, the uber true Discordian.  (Ich bilde tote ein "uber true Discordian".)

At the house party, yes. They never seen anyone breathe or eat fire live (and live).

At some of the theatre and fetish events I have gone to, I'm not yet on the radar for being considered for being invited to breathe fire because there are those who are far greater than I in this particular skill.  In different areas, I may be the one who is the cream of the crop, but I must remember always there may be one who is greater than I. 

I'm cool with that.  I know my place.  I know my destination.  I know life is a journey.  I have other skills for the shows, the most important being enjoying the show.

My advice to those who shall not be named is as follows:

In your Mister Rogerstm Neighborhood, you may be the best of the best, the most creative, coolest kid on the block.  Here, on this caberet-esque stage, you're just an audience member until you prove otherwise.  Tip those on stage, but don't get on stage until you are ready for this stage.  You don't know where the weak floor boards or trap doors are until you have been here for a while.  The only way you can prove otherwise is by repeatedly demonstrating on small levels that we can trust and enjoy you on larger ones.

Your post count will not help you.  Your connections on other boards will not persuade me to alter my opinion of you on this board.  Only by your deeds are you judged worthy of being accepted into the fold as a friend or worthy of being abused until I am smiling again (and you will enjoy the abuse.)

Yes, we're interested in the Principia Discordia, but not so much as to go "ZOMG 23!" every time we see that damned number. 

To breathe fire you must start with breathing water in the same manner.  It's safer and won't kill you.

In similar manner, play conservatively at first.  Convince us you use both hemispheres of your brain by being coherent about the Chao you see.  No one will be enlightened by you saying "MU" or speaking in duckspeak.  Then show us your true creative potential.  If you are not going to listen to any other piece of advice, at least put some effort into your posts.  Make them at least look like you took time to think, reflect, research or create.

I did not start fire breathing over one night.  It's been about a year since I started learning fire in general.  I have been burned by fire breathing, but not in ways that you might expect.  You see, when the fuel gets on you and stays on you for an extended period, it irritates the skin.  Swallow too much and you get pneumonia or the runs.  I have been lucky that I have not had that which shall not be mention happen.

You will get burned on these forums. It's par for the course. Anything worth doing comes at a cost to someone.

I was thinking along those lines.

Lama, what the hell was that all about?

I think it's pretty digusting how people get treated here just because they want to engage in civil conversation via the internet.

Then you guys get upset when of your buddies get shitted on, and you band together like bunch of internet pansies asses.

Cry me a river, Mr "I'm bored with being cordial with you guys".

You shit all over everyone you came into contact with, and now you're upset because everyone banded together to take a crap on you.

Boo hoo hoo!   :lulz:

But this has all happened before, hasn't it, "Lamanite"?

Define 'civil' cos I suspect you got a different take than what passes around 'here'

That still doesn't explain how that picture you posted relates to Aini's post any any conceivable way.


You want people to talk civilly, post something of value in "Or Kill Me" or "BIP".



Sheesh.  We'll treat you the way we see your posts as being.  If you act civil, so will we.  If you act like an intellectually pretentious douchebag, we'll treat you like one.  You act like a know-it-all asshole, we'll treat you like one.

It's pretty simple, really.

And if he acts outlandish, we'll treat him that way.   :lulz:

At least I will.

Posting that to Aini by bumping a month-old thread was civil conversation? You get what you give here on PD.com. If you give us intelligent conversation, you GET intelligent conversation. You post an incredibly rehashed picture that calls someone names, you get called on your shit and have it rained down upon you by all. YOU started the bullshit-rain dance after all. Don't be surprised when it works and the shit starts falling.
People of the United States! We are Unitarian Jihad! We can strike without warning. Pockets of reasonableness and harmony will appear as if from nowhere! Nice people will run the government again! There will be coffee and cookies in the Gandhi Room after the revolution.

Arguing with a Unitarian Universalist is like mud wrestling a pig. Pretty soon you realize the pig likes it.
