Since Hell threads can run on for pages without the guest of honor ever showing up, it doesn't make sense to close one just because the guest of honor showed up, made a fool of himself, then flounced.

Normally I would say it is more interesting to have a thread when the subject is participating, but given the level of his ability to defend his point, perhaps not so much on this thread.

Maybe not, but it is traditional. I used to do it all the time back when I was Hellhosting.

If anything is traditional in Hell, then it is capricious Hellhosting. [Snigger]

Oh, don't worry. Somehow, I think the Dubious One may be hiding out, watching quietly, waiting ever-so-patiently for Divine Fire to consume us all.

Come to think of it, I did have to turn on the fan today...

Divine Fire? Over here in my part of the world I could do with a bit of warmth. The weather has turned, and the weekend's set to be worse. I know some Shipmates would think 11 degrees C was pleasantly balmy, but I was enjoying 20 degrees regularly a couple of weeks ago.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

Here's a picture of some bishops at Lambeth 2008. Surely not a single one of them is an English bishop who sits in the house of Lords -- not even the rather homely female bishops on the far right and far left sides of the photo-group.... [Big Grin]

Speaking to the rather homely females of any occupation: Do not despair. Even Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ had no beauty that we would admire, or praise Him for.

wotthehell? Since when does homeliness (or lack of it) have anything to do with a bishop's job?

Since women became bishops. Duh! Because women's primary task of decorating the world is never superseded by other callings.

I think it was a joke. If you follow the link in question here you will see that the people at the ends of the picture are men.
