    Most pagans believe religion is a personal thing and would never "prosylitize" to anyone - regardless of what popular opinion is.

    On the other side of that coin are the 16-18 year old girls, calling themselves missionaries, who walked up on us in the garage while we were fighting with my shock absorbers the other night. Because we obviously had nothing better to do than talk about whether we have accepted Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. :brood:

    I looked at them, then back over at Scott, and said "I think it's for you."

    Then I kept the grinder going the entire time they were trying to talk.

    You may think my arguments are "ridiculous revisionism", but I can back them up with documentation.

    I was trying hard not to take my project frustration out on them, but what I really wanted to say was "If you can get Jesus down here to fix this shit for me, you'll have me converted."

    I was wondering...why is it raining in your avatar when it's a beautiful sunny day with only one cloud in the sky? :unsure:

    Still reading this thread, but this created an :idea:

    This is a perverse liberal thing: You can give them what they ask for, but they're still unhappy until they've ruined something for everyone:

    "I don't want people being mean to me!" "Then stay out of the Red Room and post in the Green Room" "But the Green Room is boring! The Red Room is where all the fun is!" ":doh:"

    They are like locusts or something. Sociopathic socialistic locusts.

    Because the first one was a spring avatar. Then I found the quote in my signature and asked if he could make it rain.

    Here in the midwest tho, it's not unusual for it to rain on a beautiful sunny day.

    It is frustrating that WF has pretty much what everyone wants...but people won't utilize it in the way they claim they want things to be.

    It seems to be evidence that some people just want other people punished or deprived if they have opinions or actions others disapprove of because between the other forums, ignore person/threads and turning rep off there is 99% of most complaints right there. Yet, it's like "Why should I have to..."

    You should have to, because you're the one who's bothered and there is no protection from being offended in the RR.

    OOH! OOH! I'm all for that! Kick everyone but the staff out. Each staff member has to pick 1-3 (Paladin could probably come up with the numbers to make the plan viable better than me) posters. I'm inclined to say that first wave gets let in with no second or vote.

    After that each day any Red Room Member may nominate one WFer for admission to the Red Room. Any members may second as many nominations as they want. Then it goes to a vote. A simple majority gets the nominee membership.

    Heck, push comes to shove, technically you could probably make the Red Room a different URL with different rules. Then the only way you could wind up in the Red is if you were voted in.

    Each week we change the url of the Red Room!

    Wow.

    That wouldn't be even more divisive than what already goes on.

    Hell, the staff would have to officially become Eliteforge if we instituted something like that.

    However...I can not fault your creativity and really appreciate the obvious thoughtfulness you put into wanting to help this place improve. :backhug:

    Add El Chump to the list of people who DO NOT CARE about rep.
