A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

This is the wrong forum for bluffing

Yes, yes. But first I need to show you this venomous fish!

I think we should do whatever Pawiz wants.

Re: Welcome to rationalia.com
I had read only a few threads before I got jumped for being a sockpuppet. Having now seen the birthing of this forum, I think I understand that y'all don't like a party-crasher ~~~ sorry for crashing in. From the outside, with all the lights and smileys, it seemed like a big ol' block party ~ come one, come all. (Besides having been invited by a Dawkins fan. Twice. Friend of a friend of a friend .... )
There's an awful lot of gates to this community ~~ where is a newbie to knock and properly address onesnewself, so as to announce to the curious but not bore by repetition? I hardly know where to start with "a few words about myself", having failed so miserably the first time.

Hi Anne, sorry if you got a slightly less than warm welcome, we've had an issue with a couple of malicious Socks lately and probably tend to jump at shadows at the moment.Anne Jolene wrote:I had read only a few threads before I got jumped for being a sockpuppet.

So let me welcome you to Ratz, so long as you brought bacon and cheese you will be more than welcome.
But I feel it only fair to warn you, we allow Welsh members, so things are a little odd here.

Well, one thing I can say for sure is ~~ you don't roll out the welcome if you don't mean it ~~ and I got PROOF!
That being the case, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE your warm and hearty welcome ~~~ Thank you DP, Pappa, and Charlou.
