Well I suppose Fenris my assumption was that flouncing out the door means leaving the boards.

Can you reflounce? I always thought that flounces were like souffles.

Well, you can flounce if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. 'Cause your friends don’t flounce; and if they don’t flounce … well, they’re no friends of mine.

It’s just a flouncal reentry. In fact, you could still be in the midst of flouncing, just in reverse.

If one doesn’t flounce quickly enough to achieve escape velocity, one quicly renters. I don’t think it’s a reflounce as such, more like a continuation of the flounce orbit.

For every flounce, there is an equal and opposite reflounce.

That’s strange, I just went to church yesterday with a lot of people who believe the same as I do. Course, I may be the only “one”, whatever that means, on this board, but I’m not the only one.

I’ve been meaning to ask: how do you all get your sheets so nice and white? I mean, soot from burning crosses must be hard to get out.

And, sorry to say, she’s right. There are a lot of hate-mongers who go to church. Too bad they aren’t Christians.

Am I the only one who imagines Hate4Ever as Veruca Salt (not the rock group, the one from _Willy Wonka_) but in a Klan outfit…with a bow at the back?

“Daddy. I want to burn th’ gays!”

**Mr. 4Ever** : Alright Veruca, as soon as we get home, daddy will cruise around on Christopher Street and pick up some gays for you to burn.

**Veruca4Ever** : But I want to burn them NnnnnnnnnnnnnnOoooooooooOOOowwW!"

**Mr. 4Ever** : But baby, be reasonable. Daddy doesn’t _have_ any gay men for you to burn. Just wait 'till we get home. Tell you what. I’ll give you a bible you can beat them with while they’re burning.

**Veruca4Ever** (sings)  
\*I’ll burn all their evil right out of their bodies  
Save them from Hell as they scream  
And when I’m done saving millions of gay souls  
I’ll eat some ice-cream!

I’ll condemn the world  
I’ll condemn the whole world  
Gays, fornicators, Mormons, masterbators (those nasty old satyrs)  
And wow!  
Don’t care how - I’ll condem 'em now!  
Don’t care how - I’ll condem 'em now!  
\*

Of course, on the last verse, Fenris Wonka watches in amusement as Veruca4Ever stands on the platform and is dropped into a garbage shute (being a bad egg and all). So the last line should really be:

_Don’t care how - I’ll condem 'em noooo[sub]oooo[sub]ooo[sub]ooow![/sub][/sub][/sub]_

</div>

To echo what **vanilla** said, **His4Ever** , the point is not that nobody here believes what you do. There are people here who agree with various things you believe, including your views on homosexuality.

The point is you do _ **nothing** _ but denounce behaviours as sinful and talk about a judgemental God. The few of us who’ve taken the trouble to e-mail you personally know there’s more to you than that, but most people probably won’t. That’s nothing against you – I’ve e-mailed less than a dozen people on this board, myself.

You’re being denounced as a one-trick pony. If you don’t like that, show us another trick. Talk about your favorite movie or song, or restaurant where you can get a good meal. **Joe\_Cool** ’s a regular over in Cafe Society, and a lot of us can turn up all over the place. Even when you turned up in IMHO, it was only to tell us you thought the content of the thread wasn’t funny and it was immoral. Share something good that happened to you today over in MPSIMS, preferably something that doesn’t involve sin or judgement. Tell us your favorite hymn, if you can’t think of anything else. Just please don’t sing one song and then get upset when we tell you we’re tired of it. People are sinful; God is judgemental. We get the point. Now tell us something new.

Again, I’m sorry this had to happen.

Fenris, yikes! The OP was cute, H4E took it in better grace than she might have, and you come back with cross-burning and gay-burning? Gotta defend her here. Of course she never advocated burning anybody, and where you get the Klan reference is beyond me, but it’s pretty damn offensive. Please don’t call me a Klansman if I ever disagree with you, 'kay?

If you don’t like being branded a one-trick pony, **His4Ever** , then …

Stop Being One. It’s a choice you make and it’s a behavior you can stop.
