So...guess I'm the new guy

[Jackalope]

I suppose this is a good place to ask about proper Netiquette here. If you were going to ignore someone, do you tell them or just do it?

Just do it. (But don't put admins or mods on ignore, it's not allowed)

[idunno]

thanks a lot.

How come your special needs amico Rhythm here managed to google it and figure out what the hell the PoE argument was and how Plantinga knocked it out, but you can't manage to get any search results? Here you go. Read up. http://www.iep.utm.edu/evil-log/

Listen up, fuckwit. The issue at contention here is not whether Platinga has proposed a proof that solves the problem of evil. I'm well fucking aware of that, as I have pointed out in this very thread.

What IS at contention is whether or not it's "broadly" accepted as a valid proof in the field of philosophy - which is in fact what you claimed, and I asked for a citation for.

I'll add, you would be well advised to moderate your tone if you don't want your stay here at AF to be a short one.

Oh, you can get banned for insulting people?

You ain't gonna convert us! Neverrrrrrrrr!

You're a bit of a fucking tit, aren't you?

A bit? Paesan, I'm way more den a bit, you got it?

I'm such a big fucking tit dat if I fall on top of youse, I'll smother youse, cuttin' off da oxygen to ya brains till you go so blue dey tink youse a diehard Laziale. Den I douse you in my milk and put you in de oven while three dozen little Neapolitan chimney-sweeping orphans lick dey lips.

Trust me. You don't wanna sits next to me, capisce?

I don't wanna hear any more stupid questions from youse.

I don't want to see you using stupid slang language all the time, but each to their own.

Ei go tell dat little Boris to pull those hair extensions out of 'is hair, den you gabagool to me about my'se stupid slanguage.

You cry me a rivva about my stupid slanguage, but youse gonna parade around a picture of your fish-chips-cup-o-tea-bad-food-worse-weather-mary-fuckin-poppins-London mayor Boris Johnson in dat ubats 12 year old schoolboy haircut?

Please! Badabing badaboom!

[Norfolk And Chance]

Cock.

It can happen, yes, in cases where it's a pattern of unprovoked, abusive behavior. It's happened since you've been here.

Vinny, as well as making my eyes bleed and my brain sad, you're making me very confused. I can't decide from your quaint little affectations whether you're trying to come off as Mafia gangster, New York cabbie or Scouse. As a result my inner voice (the one you 'hear' other peoples' posts in) just goes off to sit in a corner, weeping and rocking back and forth out of abject surrender.

Mission accomplished, amico mio. Mission accomplished.

Alright, jokes aside. Listen, I know I may be a little confrontational. I may be a little aggressive. I don't suffer fools often. I'm a little ballsy, a little passionate. I think atheism is for grownups. I don't handle you guys with kid-gloves. And sometimes it hurts. But my heart is in the right place. I want to turn this movement into something that prides itself on intelligence. On education. On knowledge. On enlightenment. And sometimes it can be a little too rough. It can be a little too spicy. I get it. But this does one of two things: It either makes you butthurt and cry. Or it makes you wanna learn shit so you don't look like a fool.

It's like natural selection. You saw how I lit a fire under Rhythm and suddenly we started talking about the problem of evil- something that would have NEVER been taken seriously a week ago.

It's for our good. It's tough love. So don't lose sight of that.

So which is it: do you wear sharp suits and stuff cotton wool in your cheeks; drive a little yellow car with half a fag (i.e. ciggy) in your face and a sunburned arm out of the window while yelling abuse at the world in general; or bury your neighbours beneath your patio?

We must be told!
