I was replyin' to castewar said, son. I'm sure if you wait your turn, I'll get back to you and your “my avatar always matches the board I post at” weirdness in due time.

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

Ever opened a Christmas cracker or a Bazooka Joe? Jokes are supposed to be funny, but they don't always deliver.

Sounds like you've got something on your mind.

Yes, that Matt should stop rising to the bait, and/or Razor should stop baiting him, that the thread should move back on course, and that you were the last person with a serious contribution, and you yourself made a comment about people jumping to argue with you, hence my reference. Nothing more, honest.

Oh lord whatever next! Whether you found it funny or not is beside the point. The point is that I was not being serious. :p

And now on with the topic…

That doesn't help - that triggers the next round (TOO LATE!). Just let it drop. You started a thread on religion - helping destabilize it doesn't make a lot of sense. Turn the other cheek, so to speak. (har)

Son? Don't patronise me, and use the quote function so that people actually know who you're talking to.

I don't think that it's particularly weird that an avatar should actually relate to the website that it's on. How is it weird? I think it makes perfect sence.


The poll is pretty even now.

Fair'nuff

Matthew, my post came immediately after yours. If you needed quotes to know I was talking to you, that's your problem, not mine.

And I'll patronize whoever I like, thank you very much.

Being miserable and treating other people like dirt is every old Ghosthead's God-given right.

You can be miserable all you want, but you can't treat people like dirt around here. Back on topic please.

Maybe God doesn't give things we ask for, he gives us opportunities.

Like if we pray God for something, he gives us an opportunity for it to be.

Free will comes to play on this part. We decide to seize that opportunity.

God won't interfere with what we decide to do. That's free will.

Then depending on what we do, good or bad, karma comes to play (at least this is what I think)

mmm I hope this is somehow understandable

If God gives us everything we ask him for, we won't never be sure he has done anything at all.

This is the attitude I get, for quoting GB2? Some Ghostbusters forum this is. You should moderate yourself, because I feel like the insulted one now.

Jesus would be disappointed. His dad gives us this whole complex sense of humor part of the brain he probably spent hours designing, and you don't even use it? See? I can be on-topic.

Just because you quoted GB2 doesn't mean you have the right to insult people like that. If I said something rude to the moderators and threw in a GB quote that doesn't make it any better.

You may of been trying to humourous, but you used the quote to defend your insult.

I wasn't even insulting him. I called him “son”. Assuming I am older than him, that's not derogatory.

This is gonna turn into one of those ridiculous “Internet: Serious Business” moments real fast unless someone chills the hell out. You're reacting like I started a “flame war” and that's simply not the case.

What we really have in the last several posts is a case of, as Foghorn Leghorn would say, “I'm a-pitchin', but you ain't a-catchin'.”
