I just don't understand any kind of absolute egalitarianism philosophy. Whether it's branded as anarcho-capitalism or straight anarchism or sockfucking libertarianism, it always misses the same point.

I mean - he wasn't trolling, and as far as I can tell all of his posts have been in good faith.  Trying to drive off an obnoxious asshole, someone with nothing to contribute, or a lame troll makes sense; tearing a new poster a new orifice because he thinks the PD is a little out of date doesn't.  If we want this board to be one that generates new content, ever, we need people who are willing to contribute, criticize each other, and molest a few sacred cows.  Driving people off who disagree with established members on small matters is no different than closing down registration to protect your ideas from people who don't like them.

A healthy immune system works against pathogenic invaders.  From here, it looks like PD has an autoimmune disorder.

Heh

Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but my small amount of poking him with a stick was just because his response was amusing

I got nothing against you JohNyx (apart from the usual)
It's not trolling, it's just satire.

Even if that were true, the way JohNyx is reacting right now does nothing but inflame the situation. I've been in his position, and likely will again. Lecturing people doesn't work. Simply being right (even if you are, which is never guaranteed) doesn't work. Pointing it out just makes enemies. Literally the only way to fix the problem (if it existed) would be to work it from the inside and even then lead by example, not by preaching.

Pretty much anything else is trolling or just plain laziness - that's the situation as I see it.

Also, while I like biological metaphors, calling the way we interact with newbies an "autoimmune disorder" is weak.

Rejecting new blood, while not technically an autoimmune disorder, is still a maladaptive immune system response when the blood is healthy.  Literal new blood or figurative new blood, same either way.

I think it would at least elicit a chuckle, then a read, then possibly an involvement in Discordian activities.

However just pissing people off for a couple of seconds until they call for a replacement of their bible by hotel management is the way really REAL discordians do it

REALLY REAL DISCORDIANS FOR REALNESS.

That you guys have a vested interest in trolling and flaming me.

Yes, we're paid to do it.  No, really.

You sure enjoy nitpicking and ganging up.

Seriously, what is up with this board's immune response?

Nothing.  We've had several new users that didn't get shat all over.  But the problem is obviously with us, right, and not with some lowbrow asswipe who thinks the height of mindfucking is vandalizing bibles.

Right?  Right right right?

I know y'all need to attack someone, im just trying to show you its for no reason.

Wonder why you complain about other forum boards doing the same thing?

I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the sort of person I'm preaching to. :)

This.

Plus, JohNyx is a pud.
