"I just got a post pulled from The Smokey Backroom -- I am a baaad boy!"

What, exactly, do you have to say to get a post pulled from there?

[Sam Cree]

I admit that there was a certain amount of logic for a Jew to joining what seemed like the only possibly effective movement to oppose the Czar! "

As far as I know, Jews did not improve their lot much with the demise of the Czar. Maybe made it worse. I have alot of thoughts on this subject.

[Sam Cree]

"to say things that tick off Jews, Blacks, and Episcipalians all on the same day. "

Now there's a plan :-) Who did we forget, though?

Hair, I was brought up Episcopalian :-) I wish I could have participated in this conversation, that I am only catching up on now!

What a great thread! I'm serious.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think they thought their lot would be improved... but it may not have turned out that way!

Hullo! Good evening everyone!

LCS - You know you shouldn't be the smokey backroom!

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

You have freepmail (chagrinned)

[HairOfTheDog]

We forgot wimmin.... could have easily slipped an insult to wimmin into that proverb.

[HairOfTheDog]

I think you are actually proud of yourself for having a post pulled, aren't you?! [arms crossed, fingers tapping]

You're telling me. I keep posting on threads, and then they go there, see my post to 2JM, it is all you guys fault for leaving me at my lonesome.

[HairOfTheDog]

You get lonely and find the most contentious threads on the site to talk on? I posted on a thread with real life racists on it today and we were able to keep it calm!

It was way over the top, I had just had too many of this guy's insults. Small sample: 'Sorry there Lucius, but you are the religious fanatic, you ARE trying to force your NONSCIENTIFIC mythical beliefs on me. If you want to teach your children that mythology is fact, BE MY GUEST, but in public school forget about it. Religion has no place in public school. ' As I told Sam Cree, and put on the thread, my personal belief is that evolution exists, but that God has created the human race through the mechanism of evolution (directed evolution)

Good thing I didn't drop into that one. I would have gotten it put in the Backroom in 10 minutes.

[SuziQ]

I'm going to tell him that he is behaving inappropriately and needs to assess himself! (He's a psychologist...)

Hi 2JM!!You Go girl! Is he one of those types who is so self-obsessed that anyone who disagrees with him must be an idiot (in his mind, of course!)? Makes you want to slap em upside their pointy heads, doesn't it?

I'm catching up on the posts from the weekend. I went with our daughter's Girl Scout troop on a campout down in NJ at Camp Lou Henry Hoover. What a gorgeous Camp! We're going to go back down again in the Fall and meet up with a troop from the Berkeley Heights (NJ) area. One of the newer girls in our troop just moved up here last Dec., and her mom made the arrangements for us to go down there. I am exhausted from the weekend; it will feel SO good to sleep in my own bed. Even though the adults were in a 'cabin', we were still on the obligatory 'cots' in our sleeping bags. Once last night I woke up and just felt like I had to GET OUT of that bag. I was feeling like a sausage!! I got up, looked out of the door for a couple of minutes, got cold and crawled back in. It was a wierd feeling.

Which is exactly the way evolution and creation was covered in my public school, by the way. I had a teacher who was maybe better than average at presenting all the competing theories and theologies without excluding any of them as being impossible, or more likely than any other.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

This guy would RANT AND USE ALL CAPS, he just called a new poster, who hasn't even posted to him, 'Prove to me scientifically that Creationism is provable. What a fricking joke, and you wonder why religion and moral clarity in this country is going away.' I guess you don't want to go there.

I hope that I haven't gotten Sam Cree mad at me.

[HairOfTheDog]

I wouldn't dream of going to such a place! But knock yourself out!

[HairOfTheDog]

What did you do to Sam? - You didn't drag him over there did you?

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Well another poster has started posting upthread, whom this guy apparently has fought before, so he says he is leaving. As a parting shot, after I quoted the dictionary definition of religion, he responded 'You poor delusional little man', so I guess I won't have to deal with him any more, and have lost weight into the bargain.

I think the dwarves might be upset by the "little man" slam.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

What did you do to Sam?

See #24561 and 24565 above.

Maybe this guy has turned me into a dwarf. From Elrond/Faramir to a dwarf. Is this upgrading or downgrading?
