I have more than enough will to post here, unfortunately these days what I lack is the free time. (Which, believe me, is a good thing.)
Thought for the day, apropos of something it is perhaps best I don’t elucidate upon: Looks like the winds of segregation are blowing in, yet again, on the “new” forum that some of us Shadows regulars have migrated to.
Pity. It was just starting to get good. (Or bad, in the eyes of the two public Armstrongists there, I suppose.) Oh well. Guess I’ll just have to stick with the Ironwolf forum; at least there the atheists and bible-thumpers really are on an even keel! 
There is a new(ish) post on the WW, if you’re jonesing for RW news (Why?!) and I have plans to tackle By the Waters of Babylon on the PH next.
Anyone have any requests for topics they would like to see addressed here?

Hey, think of it as an opportunity similar to confronting a minister or your parents. Believe me, there is almost nothing you can do which would get you kicked off the forum. I’ve been admonished for pictures and language on occasion, but believe it or not, just about everyone over there is pretty thick skinned.
How do I know these things? I was their resident agnostic for about 6 years!

But see here’s the thing: I wouldn’t WANT to confront a minister, or my parents: And as for the Armstrongists, the constant harping and self-righteousness dripping from every word and derailing every single topic without fail, is getting real old, real fast.
At least Tom has the good sense to keep his fat trap shut, most of the time, instead of weighing in on absolutely every single matter with “gawd’s honest truth”.
Pass, thanks, I really don’t want to have to ignore parts of every single thread that comes up, and I definitely am not inclined at all to get into any kind of argument with them. (They seem, on the whole, a hell of a lot more hair-trigger than Tom ever was.)

Well, Hey, I thought it was just me. They’re always both all over everything I post. It’s like they’re trying to stamp out heresy that the lurkers might get infected with, or something.
There are a couple of other people there, though that are absolutely awesome, and I love em to death. So, the confrontations are just a minor irritation for me. But, I can see where the situation could be rather striking to some people who hadn’t had a chance yet to become like the proverbial frog in boiling water!
I’ll check out Ironwolf, though.

Well, in for a penny, in for a pound. We’ll see what kind of response the -tarian thread gets.
Did I mention I have a very keenly-honed internal temperature sensor, apropos of your “frog in boiling water” comment?
