Well, personally, I dislike having the fact that I've visited a site displayed for all to see, but meh. It's not a huge deal to me either way.

It seems there's some kind of joke here that I'm missing on account of my extreme ignorance of IP address tech, so I think I'll shut up now and let it all sail over my head before I put my foot in my mouth.

Cheers,

Hi MsJack,

One of the main points I wanted to make was that your information is never totally safe. You are not one to hide your identity, though, so I can understand why it isn't a big deal to you. Some members here have gone to great lengths to hide their identities (partly, I am assuming, because they don't want their wards/stakes/family to find out what they post -- which is understandable).

For privacy reasons, and certainly not just on MDB, I always use one of three proxy servers. These proxy servers are physically located about 1500 miles away from where I live (I think one of them is operated by the local carrier in Denver or something). I recommend this method to all people who are concerned.

Ah, another one of your bizarre leading questions. Where will it lead this time? You cannot very well kick me out of Cassius and then expect me to join the athletics department, can you? Incidentally, I didn't know you could play Frisbee in teams (but then again I've never played "Ultimate Frisbee").

I'm glad to see that the student evaluations were carefully read. The student body has been voicing a desire for a Frisbee team, and we're more than excited that the B.H. Roberts Chair of Mopologetic Studies has taken up our cause with the august Dean Robbers himself.

How is it played in teams? I mean, sure, I've gone to the park with my dog and played "fetch" with a frisbee, but I can't imagine how you'd play a team sport with one.

Oh yes... I have heard of "Ultimate Frisbee" and, in fact, had some friends who were "into" it. I wasn't ever very much of an athlete, though, so I never got invited to play.

So it's kinda like football, but with a disc?

Let's see, grew up Mormon and now break bread with the apologists. And never invited to play? I'm not quite seeing how that's possible. They wouldn't just cast their own out into the cold like that and tell him to "leave it to the pros?" would they?

That's right, they probably would!

Well, at Cassius, it's all about brotherhood and contributing to the team in our own unique ways.

I've never actually met any apologists.

LOL! Well, yes, I suppose at least one that we know of would.

Is it? Is that why you kicked me out?

I would like it very much if the mascot could be "OxygenAdam (Moderator Note)in real life information deleted.." Would that be possible, Dean Robbers?

Oh, so this is another one of your attempts to pin me to the member "oxygenadam?" It isn't going to work, because I am not him.

Not sure what frisbee has to do with it, but I am sure it's something just as bizarre.

You don't approve of the mascot name, Simon?
