This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Every so often, I get this desire to claim no knowledge of my friends.  Then I decide against it.

Also, I think you taste much better with Kaluha than you do with Rum.  Even if it is Legendario.  Though you may taste quite nice on a BBQ.  I mean, I love BBQ with friends in the wintertime.
They're not real people, they're NPCs.

Quote from: Lady LakiraAnd also? I taste better marinated in rum, not flame-broiled.

Huh, I was guessing you were already marinated in rum. Ah well, I'm not picky.

Quote from: JongWKCalling people "proxies" because they happen to agree on something with Pundit is as derogatory as calling you "Pramas' wife" because you happen to agree with Chris Pramas on something.

Would you prefer "tool?"

Somehow, dividing the board into "tools" and "fucktards" doesn't quite seem to mesh with the whole animalia theme.  I'll stick with being a Manifesto-less C.R.A.B.

I had to give up taking sides.

For one, I like Bogus Scene-acting sometimes.

For the other, RPGPundit is embarrassing in the less than great debate (and outside it). So I have to distance myself.

RPGPundit is useful as a fun expression of over the top loathing for something you don't like, and thus should be enjoyed as entertainment.

As a proper spokesman, he's of little worth.

In short, he should be the proxie of a better voice.

Quote from: CyberzombiePundit: I don't think CRABS is even a fraction as silly as the silly sons of bitches who are *willingly* calling themselves "SWINE".

Yeah i get what you mean. The slow moaning of the GNS chants during conscious raising sessions does begin to grate.

But to my credit l depart when they whip out their Dogs in the Vinyard and My life with Master and begin reading while touching themselves.:D

I prefer the Golden Rule. If people don't want to be insulted, they shouldn't go around insulting others.

Of course, some people don't care about the above. Because I don't believe Nikchick is one of them, I reminded her about the good old rule.

It is important to note that the Golden Rule (in its bibical background) is not meant to apply to ideas and the like.

To be fair, I've never gone around publicly naming people as "proxies" or refuting people by calling them "Mrs. Nisarg" or the like.  A few people loyal to Nisarg/RPGPundit self-identified as proxies or took offense that I would say he had or used people as proxies, but I think that's a different issue.

Of course, RPGPundit himself posts in his blog that he sees things on RPGnet, and being banned from that site and unable to post there himself he looks to you and prompts you to post where he wishes he could, which you do... if the idea that someone might come to believe that you're willing to act as RPGPundit's proxy is abhorrent and insulting to you, he's certainly doing you no favors.

Quote from: SettembriniThat was the point, "proxie" is as deragatory as the latter.
Dude, with how you swing from Pundit's nuts, I'm surprised you're not honored by the designation.

Aww, isn't Nikchick just adorable, how she reads my blog? And she caught us out, yes she did!

Cleary, she has discovered my fiendish plan to be able to spread my word out. You see, I give Jong noogies until he posts on RPG.net. I'm just a big mean bully that forces him and others to say things that certainly couldn't be their own thoughts or opinions, that happen at times to agree with mine.
Just like when your thoughts or opinions happen to agree with your husband's, its clearly him making you say those things, you couldn't possibly be expressing your own opinions and happening to agree with him.

So, was it Mr.Pramas that got you to call my reader's "Proxies", Mrs. Pramas? That's a mighty big word after all.

I think we should start calling him "Mrs. Nisarg" myself.
I have a theory, it could be witches, some evil witches!
Which is ridiculous \'cause witches they were persecuted Wicca good and love the earth and women power and I'll be over here.

After having a talk with Nikchick today, I believe some grievances we had are now settled.
