Is opebo still the blue opebo trying to make liberals look bad?

He certainly seems to be able to take negative attention admirably well.

admirably well.  I've noticed that too.


Also, totally aside, doesn't The Religious refer to nuns and monks (in the way that The Clergy refers to priests and The Lay refers to members of a parish.)  And what is the difference between "a religious" and "the religious"?  Thanks.

there is no difference, that im aware of.

opebo is correct in his usage of religious as a noun.  it is acceptable, although a bit odd, to use religious as a noun.

Dictionary.com lists "religious" as an adjective and a plural noun.  It's generally grammatically correct (and more common than you might think) to use an adjective as a plural noun, to indicate those who have the quality described, but it's not correct in any form that I'm aware of to use it as a singular noun.

An example of a usage of the plural form would be the following:

"Here's a question for the religious among us..."

Compare this to the following:

"Here's a question for a religious, if there's one in the crowd..."

The first one intuitively sounds correct; the second one, on the other hand, makes you feel like there's something missing.

He certainly seems to be able to take negative attention admirably well. Gee...the amount of lying bullsh**t he's getting from so many different corners here...

Big deal. It's a ing Internet forum. He obviously doesn't care. And do you really think that he doesn't anticipate a negative reaction when he says things like "freelance pedophiles are freedom fighters"?

[dazzleman]

Y'all are obsessed with him.  Opebo has at least a thread a day posted about him, heh.

That proves that his strategy is a success.  Opebo loves attention.

He certainly seems to be able to take negative attention admirably well. Gee...the amount of lying bullsh**t he's getting from so many different corners here...I shouldn't talk with that silly new signature. I think I won't keep it long, though.

Of course he takes it well.  He loves the attention.  Do you think he expects a positive reaction when he praises NAMBLA?

One thing I like about opebo is that he never makes personal attacks on people.  He's basically a friendly guy, with some totally crazy views of things.

He's threatened to feed me to a lion several times...

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Anyone who thinks this did not witness his full transformation. It happened fast, but not all at once. There was a transition point. I remember when he announced he simply wouldn't vote because he was so pissed at the religious right but stil hated Democrats (for being socialist). Then he decided he'd rather be a Democrat, and then he got more economically leftist. It was fairly odd, but it didn't happen overnight.

But that's not personal.  I would like to feed all religious to the lions, not just you Ebowed.  Anyway it is more of a fantasy than a threat.
