That's not fair.

going to the toliets was such a hoot - even though they were gender labelled and only one had a urinal, people just went into the one they felt suited them personally.
Oh dang, that sounds like fun.

I don't think I have ever had that many PMs. :rolling:

I posted here for 5 years solid and I doubt I had more than 30 the whole time.

Ohh...no, not here . I've gotten a few here but nothing like what comes my way on CF. I need to get back into the habit of "read once" and decide on the first read whether to delete, or save, and where to save. Otherwise I have to go back and reopen every one of the notes to decide what to do with it.

See, this is why I turned off PMs at CF.

Well, to be honest, I never got that many there, but at least now I'm safe from drive-by evangelization PMs. I did get one of those at least twice a year, probably from some poor noob Christian who saw I was a Pagan and believed "God" wanted them to spew the Four Spiritual Laws at me.

It's much better this way. Now the nasty icky Pagan can't contaminate their faith by saying, "That's nice. I don't believe a word of it. Leave me alone," causing them to spew even more Spiritual Laws and Random Bible Quotes at me.

I must not be living right, because that has never happened to me at CF. I've gotten several PMs from new members asking me "what's a pagan?", and a few asking me for links to sites that would explain paganism.

The latter sometimes raise my neck hairs. I sense a trap, like they're trying to lead me into breaking the promotion roolz via PM. So, I never send any links out, except ones that are acceptable to post in the open fora.

I don't think you've ever done as much debating in GA as I have. I'm a persnickety, contentious Pagan. You're a "can't we all just get along" NCR Pagan.

Or at least, you've done a good job at fooling me into believing that.

Hey hey hey, given some Christians' reactions to anyone who's non-Christian endorsing anything, me calling something "nice" is surefire proof that it's evil.
