My introduction was a joke. The current conversation is serendipitous, except for the part where I explain the conversation in the conversation. That makes it more linear I think. of course comparing a conversation to a line is abstract soo.. It is probably safe to say there is no conversation as abstract things do not exist.
I... will come back to this later.
Twid,

K, I'll be there In a second. I must write my memoirs before the Shepherds attack.
Hello new person.
Are you interesting behind the nonsense or is this all there is to you?
There are plenty of Discordians who apply disorder to their conversations at the cost of being coherent. Unsurprisingly, nobody likes talking to them.
Would you like to introduce yourself the way you would introduce yourself in person, only without your real name, if you prefer?
Hey, how's it going.
I rather thought that was coherent in a subtextual type way. I wrote out all trains of thought. Of course that's like saying some people only talk words so people don't generally like being around them. If you don't look at the content then there's just no use. You follow? It's the journey not the point of the conversation type thing... Well, I think we all learned something about ourselves today.
If you want a more direct answer:
I'm Male. I enjoy animating and other creative activities. I play portal and other puzzles games. I have various fandoms (none to the creepy fan girl level) I lead a studio group. I hate Skrillix and am afraid of small, clustered, naturally occurring holes.

Pinealist back in 2004/2005 (also known as "the Eric days"), who tried valiantly to save Discordia from Roger.
Also, it could in fact be Eric, who was a pedophile who spent most of his time trying to hook up with Medeo's 9 year old sister and was in fact the reason Medeo left the board.
ETA: Eric had a series of monikers, including Rupert Giles and (I think) Great Teacher Largo.

Yeah, this was back in the day, when Lauren and the mods (Hugh, Malaul, Bella, etc) banned me for being "too chaotic", but wouldn't ban Eric because he flirted with Malaul.

You're either serious, or trolling. Either way I'm not interested.
Probably starting out RPesque didn't help your case any, good sir, nor did the insults which weren't quite ver the top enough to not come off shallow and boring. Too late now, but there's a saying here at PD:

This account was registered in April 2009, but his first post was yesterday. Interesting.
I can't see how he's caused any harm, and he doesn't appear to be one of the bad old folks. Might as well not tear him apart for a couple of slighty zany/pinealist posts.
I mean, we do still let people get their feet wet before we cut them off at the knees, right?

PORKERRRRR!!!!
Hey man! How's it hangin? Fling flangin? Drip drop with the loose flip on top? Straight up the monkey bars with five of your friends? Yeah, I know how it goes down. Porker goes "up", strangles three, two come "down" HARd, wailing about "oh he's gone off the deep"... Porker climbs down, foamin' at the mouth.
PROKERRRRRR!
How's it flowin' my bro? How's that cleat treat been sweetin' ya? Blank out on the runaround, huh? Yeah, I bet fifty strips of tin couldn't take the taste of sardine outta your mouth after that.
Strange how the sun sets right there, right where we left it last time.
Blank out on the runaround, for sure, though.
PORKERRRRRR!
First name Tupac, right? I wonder the L's full length. Bit tired for the third time around, eh? Cheap date, they say, but then, the wind's always slow for the green treader. Thirty years ago NO ONE, I tell you, NO ONE, would have tried that shit. But hey, the cannon's hanker for panker, as they yawn about sooo often. frankly, i can't waste 'em.
Porker, in conclusion, there are myriad ways in which the aftermath of World War I in Germany set the stage for World War II, including the governmental exodus of all of the "Ratten" rodent-people, the return of the 2nd-wave Martians and Greys in their ships, and the institutionalized persecution of fully-bearded women.

So its all a joke when ten people do it and then someone pm's me to check their IP address which has happened at least two or three times in the last year, which means I'm probably not the only admin who gets those.

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!

Oh christ, fuck you. You want your board to be an uptight wasteland of LOL23FNORD and fragile flowers who can't fucking camp on rocky ground? Fine. Keep on shitting down the necks of the few regular posters you still have. Got to fucking town.
Assholes.
Gotta expand your audience and be all SHINY. Maybe if you keep it up long enough, this board can be just like EB&G, lol! Or 23ae.
Naw, it can't be ANYTHING OTHER than that the Wrong Side of the Tracks crew are DRIVING EVERYBODY AWAY, right?
:boring:
So what happened to it being a joke? Now it's that they can't handle "rocky ground".
Curious how quickly that turned around. Sorry for shitting down your neck by Calling people out on monkey behaviour. I'll never question your sense of entitlement to make baseless accusations against people again.

I said it was a hazing ritual, you useless, pole-assed fancyboy. Over the top. But what the fuck ever; you're going to pull the same routine you always pull, and in a month you'll be doing your usual BAWWW ROGER I WAS WRONG SAVE US you always do.
Your level of contribution/participation on the board has pretty much always been nothing more than bitching about it when you don't like what other people are posting, which makes you pretty hard to take seriously. So, fuck off.

No, why would it?
But every six months or so your bipolar disorder or something swings around, and you go all Little Lord Fauntleroy and start Miss Manners sniping all over the fuck about how certain people are driving away all the new users and ruining the board. It's old, and starting to be as predictable as Equinox.
Go fucking pop a Xanax or something.

Lets all make baseless accusations against the only new blood the site has had in months, that's bound to turn things around.
We're bad fucking people, and we can't help ourselves. It's like stomping on kittens or throwing hamsters into traffic off the overpass. We MUST do it, and we're ALWAYS wrong. I mean, here's Tupac, chugging right along on his vanity thread in which he
claims to be the living dead, etc, and we jump all over his shit. Who does THAT?
Not
quality people, I'll tell you that. No, just the unwashed savages from over the tracks. Someone DO something.
Pretty typical of you Nigel, if back peddling doesn't work you make attempts at the personal attacks. For what purpose. Do you think everyone would get confused and forget what we were talking about? So it's not a joke because people take it seriously, next it's hazing though I fail to see what part of getting called an alt is hazing. It's still not adding up.

Bullshit.
There's been a lot of conversation and activity on the board this past week, lots of science talk and philosophy and social analysis, and the only thing Faust has to say about anything is that we're too mean to the pinealist. :lol:
I wasn't even one of the people being hard him, but I had to say something about Faust pulling out his wee sniper rifle at the very people who ARE the most active, funny, and interesting posters on the board.
Fuck this shit.
Nigel, I'm gonna write a bit when the mood takes me. I am NOT going to worry about Tupac Trollass. Or anyone else.
You may continue being WRONG AND BAD AND SHIT if you wish. I'm too tired from yesterday's drive. Someone else can fucking deal with it. I am going to be a GOOD CITIZEN OF PD. Just like Faust wants. Until he throws up a bit.
I've thought back to prior events, and I think I have the rule set down.
1. The noob is always right. Always. No matter who is tangled up with them, ESPECIALLY IF THAT SOMEONE IS UPPITY.
2. See #1.

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.

No, actually, because I knew what you said without even looking. I was, of course, correct, because you've never like Nigel or me. The only time you speak to either of us is to let us know how we fail to meet your standards in some way. THAT stopped bothering me more than a year ago.
It was ECH getting involved - and the way he did - that convinced me that PD no longer needs me or my curmudgeony ways. I'll still let noobs in, etc. But Tupac can provide the content, because he's

Still doesn't seem to clean up your stance on calling people alts.
If already called you inconsistent or a liar about this so if you wish to persist in "Yes it is, no it isn't" theatrics theres not much point in continuing this.
You constantly ignored the parts you dont want to so, or attempted intellectual dishonesty by pretending my gripe is with being mean to people, but as to alts I got three different answers from you, be it a joke, hazing, or being mean.

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.

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.

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".

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.

This motorcycle is unfortunately incorrect, IMHO.
PD is many things, and at times --
not ALL the time and not ALL the people, but AT TIMES -- "myopic" describes the attitudes and opinions expressed in these sacred virtual walls.
Now, I'm not saying we should entertain soulless pinealism as a path to anything interesting or worthwhile, BUT maintaining an atmosphere where anything that is at first identified as somewhat askew from the general culture here will also lead to nothing interesting or worthwhile. It's easy to shock someone into making an ass of themselves and then piling on them for making an ass of themselves, when given a less hostile environment they might actually develop into something better.
Even if their ideas are "stoopid" or "laem" or whatever else we want to think about them, it's doing PD a disservice to immediately tar and feather anyone who looks sideways at us just because they're "different," even if by "different" we mean "the same as the last 1000 assholes who walked in and tried to own the place with their Dada bullshit."

If you have a dogpile of people telling you something is stoopid and laem, and you're not at Conservative Cave or TCC or someplace like that, what you posted is probably stoopid and laem.

You assume that just because we think something is stoopid, it is stoopid. There is the (however remote) possibility that we are in fact wrong about something. Usually that isn't the case, but we shouldn't throw away the possibility that PD hasn't got it all figured out yet, even if that means letting an asshole be an asshole for a few posts longer than usual.

"Is probably" allows for the possibility that yes, they could be right.
And they have the opportunity to state their case, they're not gagged. I don't see any sense in gagging everybody else, or expecting everybody else to self-gag, or whatever, in order to keep from offending them.
I think you're thinking we're saying something we're not saying.
If people get dogpiled on so quickly for even the slightest hint of pinealism/outlandishness/whatever, it's almost a guarantee you're gonna hit the monkey reflex and they're never going to have a chance to realize the potential error of their ways, they're never going to be inclined to look around and absorb the culture of the site, they're never going to see that they can sometimes grow out of their own idiocy.
So if what you want PD to be is a clique of smug people who know they're better than the average schmuck, then by all means everyone should continue to dogpile on the noobs when their first or second post doesn't meet with our approval. On the other hand, if what you want PD to be is a community where people can come learn and grow and hopefully become bipeds (or better bipeds) then it might make sense to give them a little more time before firing up the usual welcome wagon. Nobody's suggesting MAKING A RULE or any of that nonsense, but seriously, it costs you NOTHING to say "hey, this is what we're about and we're not particularly interested in word salad/outlandishness/whatever but maybe you should go read this or this or this or join in this discussion" instead of "OH FUCKING CHRIST ANOTHER ONE OF THESE ASSHOLES I BET YOU'RE THAT GODDAMN POPTART GUY HUH?"
I really don't see why this is such a difficult and unsavory concept for people.
And don't get me wrong, I'm all for smugness and superiority, especially since we mostly deserve to feel that way IMO, but it doesn't serve any worthwhile purpose to make that feeling exclusionary rather than trying to make it inclusive.
Ah. Tactful pointing out of idiocy. I guess I can live with that. :p
Yes, exactly. At least until it becomes obvious that they're willful idiots instead of just not knowing any better.

I really don't see why this is such a difficult and unsavory concept for people.
I was kind of surprised now to read ITT some people defending that we supposedly have HAZING RITUALS for n00bs now.
Maybe they're a bit confused about what the two words "hazing" and "ritual" exactly signify when put together.
I can tell you what it's not: A "hazing ritual" is not poking at a n00bs buttons to see if they got any other modes of behaviour except for the displayed stock n00b behaviours that we see every time. It's also not turning up the poking to 11 when the n00b appears uncapable of this. Doing that is fine, it's what we've always done on PD, it rewards people for showing original thought and not being douchebags.
What a hazing ritual
is, the way it's generally understood, and something I will always argue vehemently against: An inescapable period of unpleasantness and inferiority that everybody who wants to join a certain group has to go through, no exceptions, in order to strengthen group cohesion, "you're one of us, we've all been through it"*.
Which is not what we do at PD. I was never hazed here. How tough you had it when you joined is directly proportional to how much of an idiot you were. No hard feelings if you got better, but don't try to paint yourself in a better light by saying "we've all been through it" because we haven't and we shouldn't and there's no reason.
For example, take AKK. During his famous first wave of idiocy, he kept proclaiming all the shit he got was just a hazing ritual and that he needed to stick through it, it was just a matter of time. And everybody was NO WE ARE SHITTING ON YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE AN IDIOT. WE WILL KEEP THIS UP UNTIL YOU QUIT BEING AN IDIOT (AND PROBABLY SOME SHORT TIME THEREAFTER BECAUSE OF MONKEY INERTIA).
There's a difference. One is a hazing ritual, the other makes sense.
That said, I haven't seen this particular n00b display any redeeming qualities, so have at it. I'm just taking (A LOT OF) issue with the "it's a hazing ritual" defence. No, you will do it because they're an idiot, not because they are new. Did I just tell you what to do? Oops. I really meant it.
* Conversely, those who
haven't been "through it" will never really be considered full members of the group until they go through the hazing ritual. Cialdini has a nice chapter in
Influence: Science & Practice on this phenomenon, because of it, it turns out to be absolutely impossible to separate college fraternities from their hazing rituals (something which campuses would like to achieve because people get killed etc), they will always continue the hazing in secret, unless you manage to disband the entire structure and kill it (which is also quite hard, but not as impossible) -- this shit is in my top 5 worst monkey behaviour algorithms, though a few steps below the Kitty Genovese subroutine.
