Oh my GOSH....this:

"It occurs to me that juliann continues to tumble down the ladder of respectability, hitting her fat head on each of the rungs of nastiness and vitriol as she falls."

has GOT to be one of the funniest lines I've ever read on the boards! Mister Scratch...you rock!

Ah, I see. So she's tossing out judgments before she's actually done any research. Don't you just love people who cast aspersions on the basis of ignorance? This seems to be par for the course with Calmoriah these days.

This would be a mess to try and figure out. Josh is emotionally volatile, and he has sent out very mixed messages about his beliefs. I honestly have been concerned about his mental welfare in the past, and thought it advisable he get help. So it is possible that things did not transpire exactly as Josh has portrayed them.

OTOH, Juliann has her own history, and I have no doubt she would engage in the behavior Josh attributes to her.

You have to remember that there is a private email group among FAIR/MAD believers. Who knows what they are telling each other behind the scenes.

It is funny to see them eat their own now and then. Who was it that once commented that the real reason exbelievers have to exist at FAIR/MAD is so they won't beat each other up? ;)

Oh yes, I forgot the main comment I meant to make about cal's remarks.

Remember that cal and juliann are close friends in real life. That should help put things in context. Cal doesn't approve of all of Juliann's antics, but she will often rush in to defend her anyway.

In my experience with JSKains I would have to agree with beastie.

Not the most stable guy, and definately not someone who should be placed in charge of anything.

Certainly had to comment on this. While I find it funny people scower the internet for the past, I don't think anyone has any idea about my emotional well being. Certainly I have had my ups and downs, but none of you know me personally. Examining someone through broken glass can always make them look shattered. Sometimes it takes taking down the glass and just asking the person themselves.

My belief system is complicated, but no one has ever directly asked me "what do you believe anyways". People make their own theories, rather than being honest and forthright. My online personality is a combination of unbridled reaction mixed with a bit of Devil's Avocacy. I can argue for and against a lot of things, often to test my own ideas to see if they ever stick.

Trying to figure me out rather than just trying to talk to me honestly are two different animals. In all my years online, no one wanted to know me, rather everyone has wanted to demonize me, so I just play along.

I'm sure they didn't put it the same way he put it, but I wonder: What was their exact wording in their "shove off" reply?


Of course those weren't their exact words. But it has the same effect, so they might as well have said that. I know from experience. This guy and I have something in common.

OK, Josh. Here may be a good place to start over.

What do you believe anyways?

I'm sincere in asking, and I promise to treat your responses with respect.
