The Five Pillars of Discordia

[Eater of Clowns]

Very well done, Dok.  Something similar to this has been floating around in my head the last few days because of your recent writing.  I'm not sure if you intended it that way, but this acts like a climax to your work over the last few days.

Unintended.  It was based on something I wrote in your thread.

This thread has been helpful (for me, at least) in differentiating between Pillars one, and four. It's all too easy to get distracted by infighting, and make some bone of contention your personal "project". And that isn't really that good. Knowing when to pick something up, should be balanced by knowing when to drop something.
I've always been quite good at picking up on stuff, but not knowing when to drop it, has sometimes meant that I have missed an opportunity to pick anything else up.

O think this is great, and although it may be addressed to the regulars I think it can also help to give noobs an idea of what to expect.

There has been talk for a few years now of revamping the PD.  I would rather see a combination of the best of the rants, sermons and such here with this piece as the introduction or cover. 

I really like this (which you know) but I think it needs to be out there for the people to see!!!

Maybe not what to expect, but more of a "the way things are when you're walking upright?"

To aspire to maybe?

OP: Digging it, nothing to add / comment on jsut yet though.

Yeah, that works

This should really head up a new "Even newer, Spiffier, Updated for 1688 Advice for noobs" thread. (Or at least be stuck on the old one)

No.  This was for people who've been here. 

Write your own thread.

[Reginald Ret]

Well done.

[Adios]

I have read the OP several times. I have looked for holes. In the end all I can say is excellent post.

[Iron Sulfide]

Interesting, but I'm not sure what you're getting at.
