Typhis... I am sorry, for my part. I don't know what's wrong with me... I'm having a hard time keeping my temper in check, lately. The problem is, these people keep coming in who claim to be skeptics, and are, in fact, outright disbelievers. They don't come here for proof, they come here to harass us. Deacon and the newest addition--this Samedi guy--have been the worst of them, coming in with guns blazing and insults flying. Deacon's bad enough, saying that he's only retorting to insults, when he's the one who attacked one of us first...but this Samedi guy shamelessly goes on about how horrible we are.

In my experience, people like this don't just go away if you ignore them... I know there's no justifying my actions; I already said, I don't know what's wrong with me, lately. However, the fact that they come on and misrepresent who and what a skeptic should be, and rub it in our faces every chance they can...it pisses me off, and lately, I can't seem to help myself.

I agree something's got to be done...and again, for my part, I am sorry.

Even though I was baited by Ms. Dawes earlier today, I am trying. I'm kind of proud of myself for not stooping to her level again. I'm kind of proud of myself for putting her on my "ignore" list. It's only a small step, but it's in the right direction...right?

As for Deacon and Samedi...they're both making habits of bullying the group as a whole. Until everyone puts them on their "ignore" list, and nobody posts to anything they say, I can't bring myself to just ignore them. If they want to play, I can play, too.

(Samedi's new enough... Maybe we can go to the admin and just ban him before he gets to be any more of a problem.)

Believe me, I know... I wish I could get this under control.

I agree with you, Black. It's WAAY too much, and no one's getting anything done except using up space. We've already had one thread erased for this kind of behavior, remember?

Dawes, the offer's still available, if you want to take it up. I SWEAR, no insults, no sly digs, and I'll be better than my best behavior. You should see something about the society that's not all click-boom. Are you willing to take the chance?

Are things are gonna be less filled with nega-Nonsense and be more varied? I mean, it gets bored in Debunking is all that people will do.

Dude, I'm just feeling the love now! I think we all might get past this, and become stronger as a team. Awesome!

So, either you're saying it's not going to happen, or that I'm getting too Shirley Temple for you? Either way:

If ya'll start joinin hand and singin "Kum By Yah", I am so outta here.

It’s more depressing than boring. I’m glad Deacon and Josh can put this behind them.

Oh, and welcome back, Hotep. It’s good to hear old voices speak out again. I hope we can hear from you more often?

Yeah.. I've spent most of the Time on the Net, and the Nights, in dreams and the Laboratory...
You'd be surprised the number of things that escape People's dreams...
Why, I think I still have the remains of the last one in a Jar somewhere..

I've noticed all my posts have been erased, even those that were friendly, whereas this "Malakai" can still cause all the trouble he desires and snap his fingers underneath your noses and all you do is say, "boo hoo."

Love? I don't think so. More like a prestigious club: "you live by our rules or we kick you out." I never read anything about that when signing up. I guess there's more than one conspiracy your society is covering up.

This message is to let you know I'm still here. You can't get rid of me so easily. I have a commission, and I'm going to see it through.

Boo freaking hoo Deacon.

Deacon...please...no more insults or infighting. Seriously...post your thoughts and beliefs and stick to them.....but please...no more fighting...from you AND us.

That's just the kind of guy he is. Take your own advice and put him on your ignore list. He's just a stupid troll, anyway. Not worth anyone's time.

(Almost) anyone's worth helping in danger. Some folks, though, can be treated like a guy at a hospital without insurance or money... Yes, the doctors are obligated to stabilize the patient and get them on their feet, but as soon as that's done, they're right out the door.

Holister...I...wasn't...insulting...at...all...in...that...message...and...posting...my...opinions...is...all...I...have...ever...done. If my messages were erased because I was the only one saying anything derogatory, that's fine. But I think it odd that I am the only one who had his stuff erased. So this Malakai fellow and others like him are allowed to, but I am not?
