Repent, for the end is near


All good things must come to an end, and I guess this is no exception.

Hey folks, be kind, be gentle, be patient with the faults of others (as you want them to be patient with you), seek truth, question things a lot, think (Think!), treat every person you deal with as someone who has value, look for areas of agreement amid the disagreements, and always remember that there is someone else (a real person with real feelings!) at the other end of that internet.

So I'm left with a few questions:

1. Is Miscella a he or a she? I get it that the avatar is female, and the name is of a feminine form. But it isn't a name but rather a a dictionary word with a decidedly non-feminine meaning (www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/miscella) and the argumentation from said user always struck me as the sort that I associate with the male of the species. I suppose that one is likely to remain a mystery.

2. So where are you all headed? Kurt and Cosmo, where are you taking your endless disputing? (Admit it, you both love it.) Lena, where are you taking your talents? Me I'm already registered as Froggy at http://imdb2.freeforums.net/ and I've seen Film there too, but I'm open to suggestion regarding other places to go.

Finally, a song. This is for you, IMDb:

After you've gone and left us crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad
You'll miss the dearest pals you've ever had

There'll come a time, now don't forget it
There'll come a time, when you'll regret it
Some day when you'll grow lonely
Your heart will break like ours and you'll want us only
After you've gone, after you've gone away

After the years we've been together
Thought joy and tears, all kinds of weather
Someday blue and downhearted
You'll long to be with us right back where you started
After we've gone, after we've gone away

Adios, amigos.

I've set up an account by the same name over on those new boards.

Kurt and Cosmo, where are you taking your endless disputing?


I'm a Facebook guy, and I never argue with people on Facebook after what happened to me by a Hillary Clinton supporter.

Cosmo is going to find a nice lady and get a real life.

Is Miscella a he or a she?


Miscella is a she.

reply

I'm also registered on http://imdb2.freeforums.net/

I registered at http://thegotboard.com/ as well, which I actually like better as it emulates these boards and more sub-boards. But, IMDB2 seems to have more people migrating there right now....

If any case, we should see if they'll set up a GND board just to all touch base every once in awhile....

Perpetual outrage is the most popular religion today.

reply

I've not decided yet. Having had a look I'm not overly fond of the layout of the imdb2 site, so I might hang fire for a few weeks and see how things go over there before registering.

(Admit it, you both love it.)


It's like driving past an accident, you just can't help but look even though you know you probably shouldn't.

*edit*

Decided to register as it only took 5 seconds. Same name, because you don't mess with perfection, but will likely still wait to see how things go before deciding whether or not to become active on there.

So I'm snooping around the boards I know most of my friends (and enemies) post on so I can follow (and stalk! lol) them wherever they go after IMDb shuts down, and looky here! I'm Froggie's #1 question! How flattering! 

But what exactly is male argumentation? And is it an insult or a compliment that I argue like a guy? You want I should whine and pout and litter my posts with rainbows and kittens?

As for my name, I find it a bit odd that after all this time, not one single person asked if my last name was Neous. Doesn't anyone ever use autocomplete? haha

ok...I was wrong TopFrog.

sorry about that.....

I've found your argument style heavy on logic, Socratic questioning, and confrontation, and light on compassion and empathy. I don't think that all or even most men argue this way, but in my experience it's not uncommon among men. It is very uncommon for women in our society to use this style, again in my experience. It's not meant as either an insult or a compliment to say that I've seen you use an argument style that I associate with men; it was just an observation. (And of course it's just my opinion in characterizing your style. I'm sure that I bring biases to the table.)

man·splain

verbinformal
gerund or present participle: mansplaining

"I'm listening to a guy mansplain economics to his wife"





It kind-a seemed like Miscella was mansplaining some things to us from time to time.


But I thought someone asked, and she said she's a woman.

So does this mean she was womansplaining things to us?


I'm confused.

reply

Some are more of splain in the arse than others.

Are you upset after she 'splained to you how your reasoning for refusing to call yourself a Christian was utterly ridiculous?

reply

No, I actually like that. It was nice.

But people have to earn the title of Christian before calling themselves one.

Which is why kurt is still working on it I guess, lol

But the real mystery is whether Miscella is male or female.

Not that it matters but I always assumed female. In fact I think I've referred to her as a female before and she's never denied it or disagreed. And she was often one to disagree about things.

reply

I agree with you. But she doesn't clarify. Which is strange, but whatever....

reply

But she doesn't clarify. Which is strange


Not really, and I don't think it's much of a mystery either.

reply

You gotten into trouble before claiming to have Miscella figured out, so wait for lightening to strike in the same spot again in three, two, one....

reply

Still working on it, yes.


Don't worry kurt you can always save it up and ask forgiveness at the end. An omniscient god such as you think exists sure won't see that strategy LOL

Not that it would matter to a sadistic militant atheist anyway.

I forgive you.

What does one need to do in order to call themselves a Christian? If you were Christened, attend church and live by scripture (though in your case it's clearly mostly OT angry scripture) then I'd say that makes you a Christian.

I am serious here, what does it take to call yourself a Christian?

reply

I believe in the existence of God and Heaven.

I believe in the afterlife and ask God's forgiveness in all matters, although I continue to sin.



But I'm not a Pacifist.

And that is extremely contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ.


One does not simply move along in life as if that part is unimportant.

reply

But which particular sect of Christianity are you on about? For example, I think you'd comfortably fit into the Westboro Baptist lot, and they're Christians. Maybe not particularly good ones, but Christians nonetheless.

although I continue to sin


Which is entirely by choice, which would make any desire you have to get into heaven insincere, if it were real.

reply

They rejoice at the prospect of gays and lesbians turning up dead, or God killing them directly. This is why no one takes you 'seriously'. Which is ironic since you just got done using that word on this thread.


to get into heaven insincere, if it were real.


Since you don't believe in God or Heaven, your concern makes no sense in the first place. Another reason no one takes you seriously.

reply

Oh this is where everyone migrated to? I might not join right away because I'm not a fan of the layout. Though I will be using this same username.

reply

There's also this site: www.themoviedb.org. It looks to have the potential to develop into something more similar to IMDb, although there doesn't seem to be much action on the discussion boards there, at least not yet.
