I guess that nasty little barb comes from the English accent...

Yes, we shoeless colonials are utterly helpless against your "English diffidence".

Because, you know, nobody here is from the UK.

UNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

Bogus Magus, like the world in general, PD.com does not contain the normal or the average, it is full of a wide collection of INDIVIDUALS... so to paint us all with such a wide brush was both silly and personally dishonest.  To yourself.

What did 'Finnegan's Fist Axiom' tell us?  "The normal does not exist. The average does not exist. We know only a very large but probably finite phalanx of discrete space-time events encountered and endured."

A good, loyal member of the RAW tribe should have that tattooed on their fucking forehead.  Be better.

Backwards.


So they can see it in a fucking mirror during their monthly bathings.

Please do not poop on the board. I do not want to have to clean it up.

[Bogus Magus]

Sorry about that Ratatosk.

I really didn't think I had described all members of this forum in any way, Hoopla, and totally agree with yer tattoo suggestion.

I only remember describing the personal impression I got when I came for a visit, and should have shut my fucking mouth, and lurked a while, instead of diving in.   

But hey - the follies of youth.

And before I left, someone did remind me they enjoyed their mosh pit, and the internet had plenty of other niches for the likes of me, so I cheerfully left. But, like I say, some good people belong to that space, and maybe they go for house style while there (sub-personalities, and all that).

I guess I remain more of a hippie than a punk, so spitting at each other, and body-checking, doesn't appeal as a pastime. But then again, I think of myself as 'anarchic' and yet several activist anarchists have sneered at my apparent passivity in the past.

Looks like you grokked that some of us like this game... So I got no problem with it.

Mosh Pit and Body Checking is a good way to describe this forum.

[LMNO]

The thing that most people miss in both pits and forums, if honest, is that in the end someone reaches a hand out to help you back up.

Thats true,

I think its good that this place is percieved as a shit-house (or a "circuit 2"). Nothings stopping people from leaving if they don't like it here.

Nobody gets out alive, NP.  Seriously. 

Flouncing here is just another way of saying "see you next week".

Bogus Magus. That your career on PD has come to this will, I am sure, have come as a surprise to many, not least your erstwhile smug and, as it turns out, disastrously complacent self. However, to those with a more rounded experience of your methods and morality, both the beneficiaries and the victims of your self-righteous and self-appointed crusading, it will remain a source of bed-wetting astonishment that it has taken so long for the hive mind to bring themselves to bear upon your arrogant and devious person.

You are, in the well-chosen words of our resident hate-shitters in describing your ilk, an unreconstructed wanker. To that one might add that you have infinitely more to say for yourself than your knowledge or experience could possibly justify, and that I have seldom found myself passing judgement on someone so evidently lacking the benefits of a damn good kicking.

You have thrust upon us your ill-informed, half-baked, out-dated and, frankly, paranoid theories for a tiresome number of posts now, and the wonder of it is that anyone continued to listen long enough for you to persist with the behaviour that has ultimately led to your downfall. I would remind you, Bogus Magus, that paranoia is often merely the flipside of egotism: both deludedly imagine the world to revolve around oneself.

While your n00bish exploits have occasionally enjoyed vindication in the past, it should be evident to anyone remotely cognisant with the facts that your roles in certain notorious events have been grossly exaggerated by both posterity - which is often inexplicably kind to the self-aggrandising - and by your own indulgently biased accounts. No doubt you like to depict yourself as a thorn in the flesh of the establishment, but closer to the truth would be to say that you are merely an irritant, and that the subsequent rashes are far more the result of your unwanted presence than of any defect on the part of those you choose to infect.

In the case of someone so self-absorbed, it is perhaps plausible that certain developments may have escaped your notice; to wit, the inexorable evolution of this forums posts and the irrefutable testimony of the hive mind, which states, if you would take note, you are not welcome any more. Once upon a time, you found and to your credit exposed corruption and conspiracy among those of whom we expected better. Your problem, it strikes me, was that you did not know what to be about next. You have continued to seek out such nefariousness, but where you have not found it you have instead imagined it - and more insidiously, implied it. If I were you, I might wish to consider whether a man who finds corruption in every place he looks might perhaps be seeing the reflection of what lies within himself.

In the instance that has brought you before me, you arrogantly pitted yourself against an organisation far more august and enduring than the windmills at which you had tilted before; and though you were but a mosquito attacking an elephant, it cannot be ignored that this mosquito wished the elephant harm, and its bite may have done so had it not been swatted.

In short, Bogus Magus, there is no place for you here in the future. This is a new Discordia, a new forum, with new standards and a new morality. I must not allow it or its institutions - nascent and ancient alike - to be disparaged and prejudiced by the diseased mind of a wee shite like you. For this reason, I order that you be taken from this board, henceforth to a place of confinement, there to dwell in perpetual fear of being chibbed and humped by rabid schemies.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

What's a "schemies"?

[Cain]

Not a clue.  I wasn't feeling creative, so I pinched this from Payne's devastating critique of Fictionpuss, in his first ever thread.  It seemed...right.

[hooplala]

I think a schemie is like a welfare case, isn't it?

[Cain]

Could very well be.  It sounds like Scottish slang and that would make sense.

[hooplala]

Yeah, I have family that use the saying... I never asked, but inferred that its the people who live in government housing.  Welfare, co-ops and that sort of thing.
