Opinion of jmcfst

[Torie]

Was he banned? I haven't been following.

If he was the more left-wing members of this forum have said far more egregious things and have faced little overall punishment in comparison to anything Jmcfst could have said. Which could go to show the double-standards and bullying of Republican members that occurs on the Atlas Forum.

You really see an anti-Republican conspiracy in everything. Kind of like Evangelicals that are convinced they are being persecuted.

One problem with Kevin's thesis, is that jmfcst probably got the bulk of his death points from blue avatar mods. His response no doubt is that they are RINO's, but while I suppose a case could be made as to that with respect to Mr. Moderate (and yes, this forum probably has more "wet" blue avatars than red ones, at least when it comes to the percentages), when it comes to Inks, I don't think that dog will hunt. Meanwhile we have a few hard right blue avatars (one of whom rather continually irritates me, and no, I won't say who, and no, it isn't whom one might think), who don't seem to have death point problems.

I hope it isn't me.

As the irritating one?  You, the personification of "inoffensiveness?"  LOL.

So I just got back from church (I wanted to sleep in today so I didn't go to my normal one, I went to a different sort of hipster/emergent one that meets in the afternoon) and I realized in the talk about God's new creation that even if he never makes any socks I WILL see jmfcst again. He will be there in the new creation, along with all of us from the forum, and perhaps we will have our own sort of equivalent to the forum that we will be in at one point, like the last season of LOST. And Straha will be there too, and so will all ex-forumites, even the ones we could not stand. This forum will in a sense exist forever.

You know, in as much as you believe in the Resurrection BRTD, now more up close and personal than ever, look at the positive side of this all. You sir are making excellent progress in effecting jmfcst's return via your own body. He will return, and we may not have that long to wait. I don't know which BRTD I prefer. The butterfly replacing the caterpillar, is certainly nicer and all, but perhaps caterpillars have more of an edge, and arrest/enrage/stimulate  the mind a bit more, warts, lots of warts, and all. Butterflies just fly in one direction to the pollen, even if easier on the eye.

When will you be moving to the suburbs BRTD?

Overall, FF.  My ban vote was certainly a reluctant one.  But he left me no choice.

You guys vote to ban?  I was under the assumption that it was solely Mikado's decision.

His banning was already a done deal.  Pushing him over 100 points just accelerated the process.

Your "vote" in other words, was infracting that post of his responding to my siren song. Why didn't you boys arrange to the most popular mod to fall on his sword and effect the coup de grace (mixed metaphor there I know, but I like it)?  Who is the most popular mod?  It certainly does not appear to be you at the moment.

I am not sure what the "done deal" means. He was going to go over 100 death points, even if post 98 death points, he was born again, and suddenly combined the best qualities of Einstein, Christ, and Bagehot (you can look up the last one), with the writing skills of Twain, and the map making skills of one of our own who did that fabulous ear muffs map? Are you a Calvinist? Or is this death point thing a Potemkin Village? Or should I just STFU?

So Torie, how do you think I'll be voting on gay marriage in a little more than 5 months?

Also jmfcst's theology was quite different from "New Creation".

That seems to be a reasonable time table.   Just kidding, but you have to admit, my jive has a certain verisimilitude - right?

So irrespective of the death point count, there is residual power to just "do it?"  I am not saying I disagree as to the process, but maybe that message should get out for the gamers.  What do you think of my three strikes idea?
