Aloha, or as they say in the old country, Hello!

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

:taps microphone:

is this thing on? :clears throat:

hello Nooby McNoob. I am Pixie.

I too was a zany pot smoking Discordian once.  When I signed up here, I read as many of the threads as I could whilst i was awaiting mod approval on my account, and I realised as I read, that this place was not as I expected discordians as a whole to be. What I did realise was...

- These people are fucking hilarious, in a twisted kind of way. They are, by and large, egalitarian, smart and come with a massive catering sized bottle of Snark Sauce on the side.

- Parroting the Principia and Tossing the Word Salad will get you teased at best, and mercilessly mocked at worst.

-If you make the time to adjust your filter on Discordianism, you will see that this place is equal parts loving and supportive, a place for critical thought and personal growth, and a massive verbal bunfight.

Every community has a culture. This one may not be what you were expecting, like me when I first got here, but I found something that was MUCH MUCH BETTER. We are somewhat like a mildly dysfunctional but awesome family.

So I would advise you to read a few of the threads going on, think about what you have read, and realise that we, as a community, have pushed the envelope of Discordianism forward from it's founding half a century ago.  Read through the Black Iron Prison, read some of Roger, Payne and Cain's writings.

We have got time for a certain amount of silly. Check out the Orange Eating Contest, man that shit was completely fucking ridiculous, and in some aspects, kind of pulpy and smelly (well the after effects!).

We've heard the Pinealist word salad stuff SO MANY TIMES, it kind of got boring. Discordia should not be boring.

Also, the Pool is on the roof.


Love, Pixie.

Which part jokng/hazing/being mean necessitates the exclusion of the others?

SOMEONE GET IN HERE AND DEFINE SOME FUCKING TERMS SO WE CAN HAVE A CONVERSATION.

I KNOW! LET'S HAVE A "RESPECT RULE"! LIKE MOL!

You know, this throwing out the "uppity" thing anytime anyone has any kind of argument with Nigel is getting pretty old.  It was old the first time it was used against me.  Just because someone disagrees with Nigel doesn't mean they have some kind of problem with a black woman.  I think that is very unfair.

I knew THIS was just a matter of time.

ETA:  Fuck off, you miserable cunt.

Nigel of all people never had to rely on "throwing out the "uppity" thing". She backs her shit up well. Unlike somebody who throws out the "study by two guys who are on a certain payroll thing".

i'd just like to go on record saying that i agree with LMNOs post.  I may not agree with RWHN on the drug issues, but i respect him, and feel that the vitriol is unbecoming.

"Unbecoming"? 

As, in, such uppityness is unbecoming for a lady?

Sorry, I'll get back in the kitchen now, massah.

I'm not saying anyone was right or wrong to say whatever they said. Just giving an example which I think he may be referring to.

Jesus Christ you guys are a bunch of sensitive Sally pantywaists. I didn't realize that this:

Faust is absolutely right, though. Of course we're going to attract a fair amount of ZANY PINEALISTS. We're friggin' PrincipiaDiscordia.com. A fair amount of US were ZANY PINEALISTS when we first showed up. So do we immediately jump on those people and shit all over them and make them not want to come back and learn things and broaden their understanding of what discordia can mean? I don't see how that's at all productive, unless we've decided that we want this forum to be a clique of the same dozen or so posters all the time. And for fuck's sake, it's not like it hurts you or costs you anything to put up with a little bit of that for however long it takes to determine whether we have a new and potentially intelligent poster who might end up being a worthwhile contributor or whether they're just a useless idiot.

Wait, I have an idea! What if we gave new posters 50 posts before we jump down their throat? I bet that would work great!

Which seems completely reasonable to me would be taken as some sort of a personal attack on the character of people who for some reason decided it was ALL ABOUT THEM.

Pull on your fucking big boy pants or don't, I care not one steaming fuck. But whining about how people are BEING MEAN to you for BEING MEAN to noobs (which, in case your reading comprehension has utterly left the building, is not what that says at all) just makes you look fucking silly.

Can we please stick to the issue at hand instead of turning this into yet another drug drama thread?

Of course.

Will rephrase: RWHN's method of countering people/things he doesn't like consists of ignoring what's been said and posting fallacies.

SWEET ZOMBIE FUCKING JESUS!

I go away for a little while and all of the sudden this place is a madhouse of monkeys shitting on the table. It's obvious that I'm the glue that holds this place together, so by order of me, I demand that this fread is now about stroking my ego.

PRAISE MY GLORIOUS NAME OR GTFO, BITCHES!

Except ECH. ECH may continue being surly.

I have no choice. I was born this way.

You are, as always, correct in this matter.

[East Coast Hustle]

I do what I do out of love for you guys.

The kind of love that leaves weeping open sores, makes you knock over a liquor store, and leaves you thinking you're seeing shadow people behind the trees, sure, but love nonetheless.
