You don't see the hyperbole in the title? Myers effortlessly outdoes the tabloid press in that department. Seems he just can't help himself.

PM sent.
Thanks, but the link you sent is to artsy photographs. I guess I am somewhat abstract. :hehe:

Snark? This place is nerf-ball compared to most of my other hang outs. :td:
That's because we're not a bunch of vicious rape-enablers, we're just folks hanging out and having some fun. This is a not a difficult concept, but to hear the Squid Squad tell it there are a mountain of skulls under Pappa's throne. The very absurdity of that beggers discription.
To here you tell it, PZ is calling for you all to be indefinitely detained in pits full of rabid badgers.

I'm guessing both are misrepresentations of the other person's position. :shrug:

I'm not easily run off. :{D

But if the Ratz in general want to work on moving forward there has to be some honest speaking, & I'd have to call some folks "WATBs".

You appear to have overestimated the impact of this. There are a few people still poking it with a stick but it will be forgotten about in a few weeks just like all the other forum dramas we have had.
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

& no one will have learned anything, the acrimony will remain, & it'll blow up again.

Perhaps if you could put the lesson in the form of a Sunday morning cartoon?
