There has been much talk regarding a bunch of posters piling on another, and how this is wrong.
I think this opinion is bullshit. On any board, especially one as vocal and opinionated as this one, when a poster has something to say, they will say it.
So, when it turns out that only one poster believes that puppies should be eaten alive, and 20 believe that they should be grilled first, you will get a post ratio of 1:20.
This is not ,Äúpiling on,Äù, this is ,Äúan unpopular opinion,Äù.
Do y,Äôall really think that the 20 pro-grilling people will elect a spokesman to debate the puppy eating issue one-on-one?
Hell no. Each person will give their viewpoint. Especially since even if they all agree that puppies should be grilled, each one will have a different opinion of how they should be grilled.
So enough with the accusations of ,Äúpiling on,Äù. A person with an unpopular belief should know that it is, and be prepared to defend themselves.
And if you survive, please come again....
:mittens:
Yeah, that too.
Staying and fighting will earn respect. Running away will get you mocked.
(Please to note this is in regards to intellectual combat only.)
Nice quick way to seperate noob wheat from noob chaff = Gangrape. Think yourself lucky it's only your feelings I can hurt.
I took my lumps and I stuck around.  I think 95% of noobs who just picked up the PD or Illuminatus or whatever, as soon as they find some sort of on-line community, get all excited and in a pre-conceived notion of "fitting in" come in with ther 23 Guns a-blazin.  I know I did.  
It's good really.  The noobs need to be knocked down by the older tigers (yes pun is intended) otherwise you may lose yourself in a Golden Shower of Discordian Superficiality.  It's that "Hey, snap-out-of-it" Bitch Slap that can really be quite educational if the noob is open to it and takes it for what it is.  
In my experience in these parts, the noobs that have been "chased out" or "piled upon" were the right ones.  (e.g. Merlin of Chaos)  But they didn't have to leave.  They did.  That's a statement of character as far as I'm concerned.  
Well, there's a reason we have a 50-post suggestion these days.
We give 'em 50 posts to get it out of their systems, to get a feel for how things happen over here.
After that, their eyes should be open, and they should be ready for anything.
And it's usually not a "let's get 'em" mentality, its just that everyone has an asshole opinion.
Also, misery prefers company.
I can guess who's been complaining.
*has never complained* Esp since I piss people off by just showing the fuck up.
However...it's not that easy. I think you have to have bottom to begin with. The average target age of this movement doesn't allow for much bottom, in the end.
But yes, the nipples do toughen up.
GIGGLES/MGD fit over "nipples" in 5...4...3...

If they can't handle THIS, they're gonna LOVE this century.
If I think someones wrong, I'll say it to them, 50 posts or not. And If someone says I am wrong, I will think it over.
No one should take offense to being told they are wrong, that's one of the biggest problems with society.
But I agree with taking the wind out of the overly energetic lot who come through here. Just so they slow down a bit.
Up until this point I thought the 50 post rule was the dumbest fucking thing I've ever herd.

You don't like it?
Not anymore. I see how it makes sense and I must admit, this forum kicked me on my ass when I first came here (like two weeks ago). I thought it was gonna be all about LSD, conspiracy theories, and stoned diatribes, which part of it is, but it is MUCH, MUCH more. The mojority of the people who I first met pissed me off and were nothing like I expected.
Thats what you get for expecting a Discordian to act like you expect.
Cain,
doesn't do drugs.
Thinks CT is fun, but only a few are real
Dresses like a college student turned yuppie
Infiltrates the best gigs
And gets away with better mindfucks than you can imagine.
