Is it just me or wasn't there a thread out here in the Pit that was started by kellibelli that existed just a couple of hours ago?

I'm pretty sure that I posted to it!

Damm! Did she get censored AGAIN?????????

Up to and including the point at which I posted to that thread I certainly saw NO REASON to pull it.

I hope it wasn't the dreaded "stiring things up" excuse again!

Yes, there was another Kellibelli thread.

Yes, it has apparently been deleted.

Yes, it was probably due to the "stirring things up" rule; she was randomly whining about how another poster is always picking on her.

Yes, we should expect to see this thread vanish fairly quickly, as well.

Yes, Contestant #3 will see this as further proof that all the board admins hate him, and will continue to bitch and moan about how all the moderators are unethical bastards.

Such is life.

I don't know why you just don't put a spell on people like kelli and I that would magically stop us from complaining?

Could it be because your "magic" is a fantasy? Yep, I think so...

I'm sorry Chris, but I think that kellibelli is getting a raw deal. Auraseer is just as big a jerk as anyone else out here but he currently is getting away with his jerkiness without censorship and is gloating about kelli...

She stood up for me and by gosh, I'll stand up for her. I'd do the same for you.

You gotta admit that sigline of Auraseers begs for ridicule. Come on! This is the SDMB, do we REALLY beleive in magic and witches?

Hi all

I emailed Lynn to find out why the thread had been deleted. I can assure you, the reason I got for its deletion is alot more benign than you think. I'll let Kelli or Lynn elaborate if they want to.

Oh no, an ignorant buffoon is disparaging my religion again. This is getting to be a habit with you, C#3; isn't there anything else about me you can make fun of? If you try hard, maybe you'd be able to respond to one of my posts like a rational human being. (On second thought, no, probably not.)

My sigline is a factual statement; the word "witch" is used analogously to the term "Christian", referring to the practitioner of a certain religion. Saying you don't believe in witches is as ridiculous as saying you don't believe in Presbyterians.

Magic(k) is another subject entirely. I believe that it exists, in the same way that a Christian believes that miracles exist. If you want to present logical arguments about that, come join one of the religion threads in GD. If all you want to do is try to insult me, then by all means you should continue to sit here and sputter.

Logical arguments for magic?

Nah. It's all fantasy and make believe. Don't you know that deep inside? If I'm wrong, then perform some right here, right now, or shut up.

I guess that I could decide to start worshiping a muffin and call it a religion...bless the eternal poppyseed and all that...makes about as much sense doesn't it?

Cracks me up how you guys (you and your witch buddies) have REdefined the word to try to fit your desired image...

Reminds me of someone that didn't realize D&D was just a game...

In a word...PATHETIC

"Right here" means what exactly? In my living room? For all you know, I could be levitating in front of my keyboard right now, turning water into wine and loaves into fishes. We're on a bulletin board, for crying out loud; it's not as if you can actually see what I'm doing.

In any case, if a Catholic professed a belief in miracles, would you ridicule him and demand immediate proof? No, you wouldn't. (Well, actually you probably would, C3. But no ordinary, rational human being would react that way.) I see no reason I should perform a religious ritual at the behest of a grumpy little snot-faced troll.

One more thing. Are you capable of using adjectives other than "pathetic"? Through all the posts in which you've tried to insult me, that seems to be the one word you use most. I'm impressed that you know how to spell it correctly (most of the time), but let's try and be a little more inventive, shall we?

Auraseer,

Use your magic to make me write a complimentary post toward you. That should be an easily verifiable demonstration for a message board.

You have noticed that I've reserved the use of the word "pathetic" in reference to you. Good observation. There's a reason for that. Look into your crystal ball and try to figure it out.

Gotta go now, I need to conduct a religious ceremony. I'm praying to the god of the muffin (bless the eternal poppyseed). You see, all of us followers of the newly created religion of the muffin (bless the eternal poppyseed) have decided to refer to ourselves as: Lou Gehrigs. We plan on going through life pretending to hit homeruns and lots of RBIs.

If we encounter scorn or disbeleif, we will simply hide behind inuendo of religious persecution. We will act offended and compare ourselves to Catholics. We've got it all figured out. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we will call our religious sect the Wipeanns.

According to my dictionary, pathetic means "moving one to compassionate pity". If that's really how you feel about me, why aren't you acting compassionate?

C #3, the topic was about kelli and whether her thread was deleted. I see no reason for you to turn it into a thread about insulting Auraseer's religion. If he were a Christian or a Jew it would be unthinkable to mock his beliefs in such a manner. But because it's a religion you know little about, and are making ignorant conclusions toward, you think it's just hunky-dory AOK to rip on it.

And yes, it is a religion. Much older than Christianity, too.

Hey, it's the BBQ Pit. I get it. And I also know that you get off on conflict and argument. But please know that Auraseer isn't the only one being offended by your ignorance.

Oh yes! I'm always stoppped in my tracks by Connie's brilliance! Isn't everyone? After all, he keeps informing us that we should be. And that's how it works, right? I tell you I'm funny, then you know to laugh at my jokes. You tell me you're brilliant, then I know to respect your opinion.

That IS how it works, right? Right?

Hey Opal! Fire up the Cluemobile. Someone needs to learn the definition of whining. (Damn, Kelli, you just have to keep it going, don't ya? GET OVER IT FOR GOD SAKE!)

BTW - Auraseer, I know what the problem is. You just ain't purdy enough. Remember when Opal posted her photo along with her belief in Wiccan? Turned ole Con #3 into mush.

I'm a Wipeann, we refer to ourselves as Lou Gehrigs and we worship the muffin (bless the eternal poppyseed).

We don't believe in magic, but we believe that we can hit lots of homeruns and RBIs.

Those that attack me are merely prejudiced against my religon.

I'm still waiting for that simple demonstration of magic...Auraseer is obviously a fraud as a witch.

Oh, it is not older than Christianity, either. Get off that. Modern "Wicca" dates back no more than 150 years or so, and has no more to do with any pre-Christian religions than I do.

Diane, I think you've got something there; I'll certainly admit that Opal is prettier than I am. (I just hope my GF disagrees with me on this one. =B^)


C#3: You may be surprised to hear this, but I support your right to believe whatever you wish. If you want to believe that my religion is invalid, that's just fine with me.

However, note that my posts have not been directed at your beliefs. When I tell you that you're a juvenile halfwit without two brain cells to rub together, I'm insulting you personally, not the concepts you believe in.

Do you understand the difference, or should I type slower and use smaller words?

Auraseer,

I draw no distinction between being insulted on a personal level and having my beliefs insulted. Insults are insults. Presumably you have access to an insult hierarchy list by which you rationalize your behavior versus the behavior of others... I say bullshit.

You are as much a jerk and a whiner as anyone else out here. On top of that you call yourself a witch and pretend to practice magic. That makes you a target, one quite easy and fun to hit.

Where's the magic spell witchboy?

As I have stated numerous times, I will answer questions that don't violate privacy IN EMAIL. Posting assumptions is laughable.

I'm closing this thread...just want everyone to note that C3 automatically assumed the worst, and did NOT email me to ask me any questions, which could have resolved his curiosity.

...hhmmmm..."unthinkable"?....you don't know me very well do you?

Hey Leslie, that old argument about how I (we, us, etc.) wouldn't mock Christains or Jews is getting stale. Do they teach you that one in witch's school?

Besides, any of you witches can stop me at any time with your ...snicker...magic! Make me post something nice about you and your...snicker...religion! Otherwise shut up and go back to your D&D game...

Well I don't know about that. People do it all the time, even (dare I say it?) on this board. It may be unacceptible to persecute someone based soley (sp?) on their beliefs, but ridicule?...I say go for it. After all, sticks and stones.....

Quote:
And yes, it is a religion. Much older than Christianity, too.
So what? The belief that the earth is flat and supported on four corners by eliphants riding on the back of a cosmic turtle is older than christianity too. And, as far as I'm concerned, just as plausible as a lot of the crap hiding under the rubrick of religeon.
So, if you want to believe that Yahwe is the one true God, or that J.C. died for your sins, or that the angel Moroni gave J. Smith golden tablets, or burning inscense will change the physical laws of the universe, or your grandma is now a cow wandering the streets of calcutta, and that you destined someday to die and go to heaven, or the Celestial Kingdom, or achieve Nirvanna, or wander the halls of Vallhalla, or be reincarnated, or that I'm going to be cast into the outer darkness, or go to hell, or be reincarnated as a stinkbug....Fine. If that helps you cope with the realities of living and death; good for you.

I'll still think that you are an idiot.

But then again, I still think O.J. did it.

Actually, he has now bumped two 1999 threads, and a 2000 thread. I emailed a mod, and this should come to a screaming halt pretty soon.
