Get yourself an opinion that doesn't denigrate the other because of your lopsided view of their tradition, you annoying cow.

I don't think she was denigrating Orthodoxy, I think she had an issue with one of Fr. Gregory's responses earlier in the thread. I'm not sure if the 2 of them have history or not. Both of them have reputations on the ship, just not sure if they have one with each other.

God save us from posters who want to rant but insist on doing it as minimalist as possible.

Are we going to have to draw out your ire word by tortuous word?

I've seen too many posters over the years try this. It rarely works.

Well, noob, if you want someone to participate in your gripe, it is just as well if you give enough description that others can find it and know what the subject of your irritation might be. You didn't do that.

The more polite thing to do would have been a link in your OP. You didn't do that.

Now that two people have asked, you grudgingly provide a link to a relatively innocuous post and are acting pissy.

The thing about Hell calls is that they can turn into a Hell thread against the person making the OP. You might want to keep that in mind.

So, go have your rant. You might even want to use Preview Post and see if you have communicated in complete sentences containing enough information that we do not have to guess what it is you might be trying to say.

Or not. I really don't give a shit. I was, and am, actually trying to be helpful.

Eversinging has an issue with nearly everyone. Father Gregory has returned from a long sabbatical and is her new chew toy. For the moment.

Evensong says tons of monumentally stupid shit on the boards. Just click on the recent posts link in her profile and you'll find plenty of source material.

You can't post a rant without doing the research first is what I'm saying.

If you've not noticed Evensong's behaviour, then I'm afraid you've not been looking hard enough Tortuf.

Take your rent-a-quote someplace else where someone is actually interested in what you think. I know of a few beer soddled individuals in my local park who may give you the time of day.

We all know about Evensong's behavior. She's called to hell as often as once a fortnight. It's just the fact that you expect us to make the case against her for you that makes this a terrible rant.

You're new here and a word of advice I gave to someone else recently might apply here too. Do a little research on the culture here in hell and what makes a good rant and what you might want to do when calling someone to hell so other people know what you're beef is and may support your rant. Tortuf was not only trying to be helpful, he was right. A little back reading will show that more than one hell thread has turned on the original poster. You're probably lucky in this instance that Evensong has a history here in hell. But if I were you I'd shore up your rant anyway.

1. I don't give a toss or a flying fuck or a monkeys arsebone what you all think the 'culture of hell' is.

2. I did not claim to be trying to perfect the best rant. I just wanted to say something to Evensong which is considered inappropriate elsewhere. If you all want to fight your own private battles with me or anyone else, do it on your own fucking thread.

3. This is not for your entertainment.

4. I am really not bothered how often Evensong has been called to Hell

5. I really don't care whether this offends or upsets your standards

6. Fuck off and die.

This is what happens, dear heart, when people don't care about the culture of hell. So it's no good swearing at us for your inability to be a respectable denizen of Hades. If you had some things to say to Evensong you should have sent her a private message.

I think you're gonna find people don't care how you feel about Evensong. They don't really care about you either - especially since you've shown yourself to be an immature idiot. Carry on, but don't be surprised at the reception you get.

No. That would be very very creepy. The ship is one place where praise in public, criticize in public actually applies. [if it contains snark]

And Uncle Tortuf, I appreciate all the gentle advice you give. Thankyou.

I once heard someone described as a "bovine shuffler" which I think is a little more original. But beyond that anyone who self – describes as "the Lone Ranger" can be assumed not to have very good people skills.

This is the sort of thing that makes one want to give Evensong the benefit of the doubt, which takes some doing. Of course if Father Gregory is involved also that makes it a twofer.

the long ranger - I hadn't written you off as an immature idiot, though your response to Tortuf certainly deserves that label. Perhaps it's just a bad day.

And maybe I need to go and lie down in a darkened room, but I think Evensong's initial response to a very weak OP was fair enough. The later comment, which you seem to have taken exception to, refers to a past posting history of which you are (presumably) unaware. Whether the tone of that comment was appropriate for Purg is a matter for the hosts.

I cried a little already. But I do that pretty much every morning, so probably not the specific crying you were thinking of.

Years ago when Melon and I were discussing how to go about creating an online church community he suggested I read a book buy the guy who invented the computer game genre of multi-player adventures. The author called them MUD's (multi player dungeons), BTW.

You might ask what MUD's have to do with anything. Well, if you know Melon, you know there is a lot of stuff going on in his very smart head. He had picked up the book because it talked about how online communities evolve; and how the members of such online communities evolve within the community. (I forget the name of the book and certainly don't have it anymore, having loaned it out to someone who promised to bring it right back.)

Anyway, one of the fascinating things is that pretty much whatever personality people had coming in to the community, they turned into helpful guides if they stayed around long enough.

Ever notice how RooK is more helpful than he used to be?

That, I believe, is where I am now myself. I probably come off as the oldest sibling from time to time, but I mean well.

A n00b who clearly doesn't have the maturity or intelligence to do a really proper ranting call to hell.

Against Evensong, who is, as we all know, I long-term resident of her own intestine.

Pity. I was hoping we might eventually have a proper chance to give Evensong a good fuck but I reckon not.

My money is on Evensong this time, 1-0 in the first half.

Well, in his absence, Fr Gregory has been referred to several times as someone who starts threads with a particular agenda (ie. to convert people to his viewpoint) and the use of rather clumsy lure tactics.

I suspect that was the basis for her attack on his OP. I'm a pal of Fr Gregory's in real life but his OP did strike me as an example of that, so, much as Evensong gets on my wick, I'm prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt on that one.

That's not to say that Fr Gregory deserves censure either. The thread has meandered on reasonably well. He's clarified what he was getting at and finding allies along the way, including Mudfrog ...

Oh dear ...

I've been waiting for the long ranger to get called to Hell for his occasional tit-like qualities, and here he has basically done it for himself. Neat. And has invited Evensong to be the chief "bitch" in the dogpile. Double neat.

Popcorn? I enjoy white cheddar, myself. [Cool]

In that case, he'd have to get a lot fonder of sacraments. A lot.

OK, y'know what - you are all right and I am mostly wrong. I apologise, I hadn't realised quite how highly strung I'd become in recent days.

I'm sorry Tortuf, totally unnecessary on my part.

But sorry, no apologies to Evensong.

Happy to accept any further slaps as required.

Thank you.

Evensong is a big girl who can take care of herself.

Are we all happy pals now, then? Only I have this huge bowl of popcorn sitting by my keyboard. [Frown]

I think it will be interesting to see how this develops, so I'll leave it open a bit...

It's not like we can wait for the ending with any sense of tension. Evensong, as always, will be gratified by the attention, and longranger will stamp off in a huff.
