I see that my previous attempts to make amends and seek mutual understanding have failed spectacularly. It is not religion that I hate (I have my own faith, as I have told you before, though I keep it
private), nor is it Catholicism (I get along fine with most out-and-out Catholics and commonly enjoy discussing ethics and the basics of theology with them). I hate
you, for reasons I laid out when last we had reasonable discussions, rather than public condemnations. It's as simple as that.
And as I made clear in my conversations in the NBS staffing channel, I do not care what the actual content of private, RL-based media is. I simply do not believe that
any private, RL-based media belongs in NBS, as I've been in the NBS since its inception and I stick to what its original idea was. I've generally disagreed with the direction the NBS has gone for a while (I refused to participate in the NBS portion of the WA Symposium, for example), but this instance is what caused me to speak up regarding my opinions on NBS.
Did I, perhaps, approach it with a bit more fervor than usual? Yes, absolutely, because I hate you.
You. For reasons I literally wrote an essay to you about to attempt to try to get you to understand why I hated you. An essay I wrote in private, for the record, and that remains private.
As for the "privileged few" comment... people vastly overestimate my influence. I don't dictate how the government runs and use my pupper (I was originally going to write "puppet" there but the pun was too much to pass up on) Delegate to cleanse the region of all religion. And if I were,
@Prydania had best watch out... there is only one fluffy Lord, and it is not the deer. I objected to how NBS was being handled, pointed out my objections to those in charge, and after discussing the matter the Delegate made his own decision on the matter. I won't say I have
no influence in the region, but have you considered that perhaps my points are well-founded and based on actual concerns rather than a mouth-frothing lunatic raging about how the sun people are out to destroy us all?
