Also, i dont think discordia attracts any more sociopaths than say, atheism or satanism.

I think I will like it here.

I will concede on TGRR's points, but they don't have much baring as far as I am concerned. Sure I will grant everybody has the right to behave in any way they want, but not everybody chooses to stay in the lowest denominator (although that is a holy place to be of course).

Aloha - I was not trying to fit Zoroasterism in with Discordianism - I wrote explicitly I know almost nothing about it and what I did hear of it made me think it was Dualistic. I believe I was corrected on that point.

I will park my sailing boat on the roof.

Then, I misunderstood your response.

Apologies.

Also, I am appropriately called Twid (Nephew Twiddleton) here. This is a joke screen name.

A sense of subtle tongue-in-cheek humor would serve you well here.

Touché - you drive the tip in like you have a bone to poke. This is becoming somewhat pugnacious brown nosing though, so I will refrain from digging deeper.

In the spirit of Hagbard's heuristic of 'True communication is only possible between Equals', would it not be nice to have the null-hypothesis in the average social encounter be intelligence? Could we not be Competent until proven Idiotic? Could we not rule out differing semantics and syntax as a cause for disagreement before assuming a conceptual conflict? Probably not, on the internet. I have my ideas about why (what an ironic paradox that what should have been our most powerful tool became our greatest weakness....)

:enough:

Ixxie, just don't say I didn't warn you  :p

Are you trying to say something, Professor?  That I am perhaps not the most accepting person in the whole world?

I am shocked and offended.

No no, you got me wrong -- Roger, you're anti-guru, anti-mystic, and all mystics need a good dose of that.

I warned Ixxie that trying to start a conversation about astral yadda yadda is kind of like starting a 50-Shades of Gray thread at a classic literature forum, and that apple talk has a FUCK YOU THIS IS APPLE TALK style.

For posterity -- I met Ixxie in #discord, then in the flesh at the July 2013 Discordian meetup in Amsterdam, and I think he's definitely a cool guy. But he's a big boy and can defend himself, so if you're worried about getting his blood on the wall, don't hold back on MY account.   


man, so many good possible emotes to wrap up this post.

let's go with the underused

Good.  Because I'll have you worthless bastards know that I am the most caring and fucking COMPASSIONATE motherfucker you will ever meet.

Ixxie does seem like a pretty weird guy but if you, Cram and regret think he's an alright dude, I'll adjust to his oddness, and try to figure out where he's coming from.

ETA: I've had no reason to dislike him so far.

Well, he IS Belgian...

Yeah but so is Waffles. But he is Northest Belgianese...

Waffles is a special case.  He's like one of those Rottweilers that eat babies.
