I consider them to be fictional, and think i understand where you are coming from here. Tacky and Watson are being serious on there end, so being frivolous on your end seems more like baiting them than anything. I mean... if a couple of people were having a serious discussion on the nature of rape, and I pop in with the intent of having a good time being silly about rape... then i've been quite rude. Even I won't post something along the lines of "Baby should have been born to suffer through 15 minutes of trying to breath because bed-sheets are more comfortable than the womb" in a thread where people are seriously moved and upset by the event taking place. I know that the two situations are not perfectly equable, but it is the same idea (not being rude by being frivolous and ridiculous when other are being serious).

Well, I was serious until they started repeating themselves and saying things like "souls are different from person to person"..thats when I thought; "You know..thats the same way I feel about unicorns!" Did I bait them after that? FUCK YEAH I DID! I dont think its rude. I consider it adding flare to the forum. Hey, I tried to be serious. As far as your example..GOOD GOD GIRL..my lampooning of a soul doesnt come anywhere close to mocking a dying baby!!! Dare you suggest I, as a 40 year old man, do not realize REAL seriousness when it is in front of me?

Dying baby = dead serious.
Souls = May as well discuss Goblins and magical swords along with it.

And yes, satyrs have souls.[/quote

Cool sounding? Yes. If I had a sword that could 1-shot regulos, you better bet I would use it. I think you could have stood to put a lot more effort into them, honestly. Not that it is super-important, of course

I apologise if my sword was not up for the occasion. I will try better next time...then again, it is called "death of dreams".

Yes, everything exists, silly However, 'reality' is a word to describe the intersubjective world we seem to share (the one that includes the cars on the road and the rain and bananas). I find it perfectly reasonable to question the reality of souls, goblins, your sword, and honest members of the VPP.

An alternate definition of reality can be found here: the soul is a reality to those who believe in it. Really, people almost never refer to the objective when they use 'reality', as none of us know what that is (and if we do, we are morons and deserve the mockery)

Yes, I am well aware that "reality" includes everything.. including things that we imagine right on the spot. So that means Allah, Zues and Jesus are real at the same time. That means young Earth creationism and modern evolution are both real at the same time...but "really real" is different.

By the way..dont ever question my sword again!
