That was sick, beast! How were you able to make a blank post without even editing it? A metaphysical glitch?
Apoppin, forget about what I said in this thread (I can even delete it if you want), but don't be a coward, don't be a snob.
:elf: We don't bite, if you trust us that we don't (as what you "trust" has gobs and gobs to do with how you perceive or judge things), and we'd know that you won't be able to really bite here either, so perhaps you'd discover that there's a radically different approach here now that the temptation is no longer in the way (to abuse authority or to make threats). It's a psychological fact that aggressiveness attracts aggressiveness, congeniality attracts congeniality, and so on.. And if members feel threatened, they're probably more likely to snap back at some point, even pre-emptively. When they know that it's now more of a fair atmosphere, they probably would show more understanding to you (and they'd also feel like you're more understanding to them as well).
BTW, you guys, I don't mean that I know everything about y'all, but it really seems like human nature to me, as it does apply to myself and my feelings/emotions. And Poppin, I really understand that you do as well, and just want you to give the new forum a shot. You might be amazed.
It's like Scrooge learning to let go of his need to control/criticize/etc.. and what joy was there to be had!!!
Now, I feel like I'm trying too hard to manipulate you. Perhaps dreary silence would be golden but yet as chilly as the gold that Scrooge believed in, so I just feel that this is a better approach to let you know that if you want to give it a try, we'd see you as a guy on our level, not as an angry snob. Your work is great, but please don't act like it's the only thing that matters to you now. You're just taking it way too seriously, and dare I say, "religiously" - like Scrooge and his own ideals. And, don't feel too proud that I'm comparing you to the success/wealth of Scrooge, lol. It's really just an illusion in the long run. We might seem angry at you sometimes, but it's really because we care about you, dude.
Maybe see you again here, or in another world. Take care.

Ok with science that the big bang theory requires that fundamental scientific laws do not exist for the first few minutes, but not ok for the creator to defy these laws...
