I don't think he was saying that Wicca and Satanism are the same. I think he was saying they are both turds
NeverIsForever said:Where in my post was I close-minded? (I'm going to assume this reply was directed at me, because you apparently addressed each person who replied to your original post separately instead of putting it all in one post...) Please clarify what you meant by that?
And assuming that I added my opinion to this discussion without having some concept of what I was commenting about does not? Having studied Wicca, paganism, and the variance between the two for several years (while I'm not convinced they are any more valid than any other religion, these spiritual paths particularly intrigue me), I'm fairly certain that in this case I have a decent grasp on what I'm talking about :Spin:

the alumnus said:yeah, but i don't see any connection between harry potter and wicca.

... that was way too easy
i spoke in your defense, and am less ignorant of the subject than you think. when previously have i spoken in "ignorance" if you choose the word "again".ZoMb!M@N said:Again, Silent Song speaks from ignorance ... what a shock.
NeverIsForever said:ZoMb!M@N, I've yet to see an instance in which Silent Song speaks from "ignorance." Examples please?
I didn't think so
You, on the other hand...for one thing, you're in the habit of making about five separate posts in a row. That's what the "quote" and "edit" functions are here for...so people don't do that :Spin:
More importantly, and slightly more relevant to the ongoing discussion, you're in no position to criticize the validity of anything posted thus far, regardless of who posted it. Calling someone an idiot and then making fun of special-ed students has no relevance to any of the prior discussion, nor does it serve to refute any of the points with which you apparently disagreed. Read the Philosopher FAQ (yeah, that sticky post at the top of the forum that says "Read First" on it three or four times, that's the one I'm talking about) and please save the lame one-liners for a forum that will appreciate them...or better yet, hand your ass to you, because they really are that lame.
For that I recommend SOT (or SOT2, or 4, or whatever they're calling it these days)![]()
NeverIsForever said:You may be capable of criticizing whatever you want. That wasn't my point. My point is, until you abandon childish humor, à la "I disagree with what you wrote, therefore I'm going to call you stupid...never mind any relevant discussion of your actual argument," this forum isn't the place for such criticism. If someone is "ignorant," there should be obvious fallacies inherent in his or her argument and you should have no trouble exposing them.
NeverIsForever said:Again, you've missed the point. The fact that it's a branch of a heavy metal forum has nothing to do with it; there are a lot of intelligent people who like metal. And I enjoy insulting people as much as anyone, but I also recognize that MetalAges asked that THIS SPECIFIC FORUM maintain a reasonable level of spam-, joke-, and troll-post-free seriousness...so if I feel like saying stupid shit I say it elsewhere. MetalAges said it better than I can: "Reducing the conversation to name-calling will only make you look like a half wit." That's all I'm going to say; I've made my opinion on this as clear as I can.
ZoMb!M@N said:Do you seriously think other users are sitting around in smoking jackets with gold pocket watches scrutinizing every post? Loosen up before you explode dude.....
are you suggesting metal fans are inherently childish? that would provide a convenient excuse for your posts, but sadly i believe you've been proven wrong already by the tone of just about every other poster in this forum. we are all fans of metal in some sense, and we do not need to post childish jibes or sarcastic stupidity, IMO.ZoMb!M@N said:This forum is on a HEAVY METAL website. If that by itself doesn't condone childish behavior, I don't know what should.... If you want a 24/7 serious discussion, see if Harvard has a philosophy chat room.
Heavy Metal is fun, loud and aggressive ... this site should be the same .... if you can't have a sense of humor, and if the comments of a complete stranger put you on the defensive, this may not be the place for you IMO
