Longtime reader, first time poster.

Well, I actually just started reading the forums last night.  But it felt like a long time.

My username is not unique to these boards.  If you google me, you'll see other things I've done/said/been flamed for over the years.  Also some people for whom this is apparently their real last name, but that's an accident, I swear.

This isn't the only username I use, but it's the one I've used longest and the one I was introduced to Discordianism under a fair many years ago.

I was invited to post here, but I'm not going to reveal by whom.  When the guilty party recognizes me, I'll let him- or her- do that him- or her- self.

I seriously doubt that anyone cares.

That's a lot of butthurt you're packing over a minor run-in, Arafelis... did I really get to you that badly? Gotta love that you keep going back and editing it. Tenacious.

Pathetic, but tenacious.

I think the lesson to be learned from this is to be able to back up your opinions with something more substantial than "I don't like it, so it's not very Discordian".

Well, you're off to a hell of a start.  <--- Sarcasm goes here.

Holy shit.

Arafella, as the cranky old bastard whoa actually WROTE that piece, I'm impressed-- you got it in one. 

I actually DID use the fnords in exactly the way you described. Everyone else "sort" of gets it, because they realized it was dark, but you're the only one to pic up on my use of fnords. Well done.


Now, would you please stop trolling the boards? I'd like to recruit you towards higher purposes.

Not a fucking chance. This guy is the one I've been looking for.

Don't get in my way, Rog. Thins guy really understands.

Arafelis

We've got one more barrier before our deep and productive friendship can get consummated, LMNO.

But hey, I'm a sucker for higher purposes.  So send me your sucker-punch, and we'll see what we get.

LMNO

I know sincerity doesn't show well on forums, so let me reassure you that, after trying to show these people what's going down, you're the only one who really gets it.

Which was indeed the point of the thread.  I even restated it on the second page, just for those who missed the point first time around.

It's bad juju, man.  We know the fnords are out there, but using them offensively?  This is our left-foot path.

And this is a bad thing....why?  I mean, apart from the fact most people who call themselves left hand pathers are usually pantywaist Satanists and wannabe Sociopaths and Ayn Rand readers and generally take the whole "I am a God" thing way too seriously, and so set themselves up for hilarious and massive falls?

It was one work, three years ago*, by several different people, written in the heat of the moment and thrown together haphazardly.  You may be expecting too much in terms of consistency.




*(this being important because I'm a much better writer now then I was then.  From what I can remember, at least, which admittedly isn't much).
