This forum is getting boring...

[Ben Kenobi]

Maybe if we invite more Muslims and blacks to the forum then Ben will get scared and leave. Hasn't worked with having homosexuals on the forums, but then again Ben has never been mugged by a homosexual except for that tryst in summer camp.

Wasn't it you who were insisting that I go to a Catholic forum?

Didn't Giancarlo leave forever shortly after coming out of the closet? Maybe the problem is that our resident homosexuals aren't posting enough selfies.

Why don't you give them a shout? I bet they can hook you up.

go away

From BK's perspective, this is still attention, and therefore counterproductive. Remember, BK is basically a Dementor, only instead of sucking all the happiness out of an area he sucks out the intelligent conversation. Ideally, he'll drag you into endless, soul-killing arguments about the definitions of "hate", "bigot", and "dip****", but if he can't get that he'll take any sign at all that another human being has taken time to pay attention to him. If we all ignore him, he will either starve or turn on the few posters who don't hate him yet by suddenly developing a grudge against Norwegians, Methodists, etc.

Strictly speaking, even this thread is probably very flattering to him.

No, Elok. I'm not some whatever term you've coined to describe me. I'm a person, just like you.

If you hate arguing over those terms, why use them? I don't say that "Elok is a hater", because that's not true. I do say that Elok hates certain teachings of the Catholic church.

If we all ignore him

Do you really believe that what you're doing here is ignoring me, even if you're choosing not to acknowledge me, because that means treating me like a person and not just some object of pure hate?

[DaShi]

Ben thinks he's a person.

[loinburger]

I wonder if he keeps converting because he keeps getting excommunicated (or whatever the equivalent of excommunication is for his previous religions)

If this is what he's like after his second conversion then I shudder to imagine what he'll be like after his third

[Berzerker]

converts to a life of virtue are insufferable, you should have heard me after I quit smoking

Nope, I left of my own accord. I was a Mennonite in good standing when I left. I did lose all my Mennonite friends, which made me sad. Some I still miss, they are good people.

I think those are the folk who sell eggs around here, its kinda strange to be walking around Walmart and see young women dressed up as if they were just transported from the 19th century

The simplicity was part of the draw for me. The folks I was with weren't dressed like that, though more modern. But solid folks just the same. My pastor was kind, but the folks who I was friends with I haven't spoken to much since I left.

What's a more pointless use of forum resources? The troll or the endless (and I do mean endless) posts whining about the troll? What useful purpose does whining about Ben serve?

[Aeson]

Hey Aeson, how much would it cost for me to bribe my way into a moderator position?

That would depend on if you want a new moderator position, or mine. Mine would be significantly cheaper to buy.

We whine about Obama, Bush, Tamerlane, etc all of the time, and they don't have nearly as much of a negative impact on the forum as Ben.
