Hello again, my old friends.
November 28, 2011 at 7:46 am
It's been close to two long years since I've last come here, a young boy scared half witless by a hostile (and, upon retrospect, fatally self-contradicting) comment. Heck, every time I receive one of those "We miss you!" emails, my mind goes back to that day, confronted by brutal negativity...
..but I'm back, a completely new person. I've developed new theories, new ideas, new beliefs and new principles. I'm proud to say I'm no longer the easily-bruising peach that I was, and that, perhaps, overcoming that fear had taught me the greatest lesson yet. As Churchill said, "You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life".
So hello to everyone, especially those who've already greeted me the first time (heh)! Hopefully this forum hasn't lost the amicable atmosphere I so loved~
And dare I say this: may we have good times ahead of us. (:

I obviously did not know you, but I shall embrace your return.
Welcome back, homes.
I'm looking for new recruits for the Church of the Yogage if you are interested... You get to beat up a nun in a sack every Thursday night, great fun. I recommend it to all.
Yoga-Lord ftw! Thumbs up for excrement-free yoga mats.

I don't know who you are yet...
So I get to meet you ^_^
Eunuch meat is delicious.
I robbed a deli.
Absconded with some deluxe ribs.
"The music almost died away ... then it burst like a pent-up flood;
And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill ... then the music stopped with a crash,
And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way;
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then his lips went in in a kind of grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm,
And "Boys," says he, "you don't know me, and none of you care a damn;
But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
That one of you is a hound of hell. . .and that one is Dan McGrew.""

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Out of curiosity, what might that have been? The threads you've started were on Twilight vs the Bible or something like that and another topic about Angels and Demons from Dan Brown as far as I can tell and they didn't seem very hostile to me.

Good, someone told me that happens anyway every decade or so. 
Welcome back, and I hope you stick around longer this time.
Best regards,

Heh I think it was in response to a reply of mine on a different thread. On hindsight it really wasn't that cataclysmic but, as you can imagine, it was nonetheless quite traumatizing for me back then x:
