And here's the dirt on Wedesdo:

He hates me copmpletely, even though I really don't know who he is. In other threads he has referred to me as &quot;his most hated member here&quot;.

Beats me why...

Wedesdo - I really think you take the religious debates a bit too far in hating me completely because of it. I really hope those anonymous threats aren't from you.


Anyhoo - he is a little off in his description: He has it mostly right up until the

&quot;he never listens to scientific fact and knowledge.

Don't try to argue with him. He won't listen.&quot;

I'm VERY into science - I believe in evolution, the Big Bang, scientific process, pretty much all of it! I just don't believe science completely covers the spiritual part of my life... I follow both.

I love to debate too, and have actually listened a lot to pretty much everyone here. Some of my opinions have changed or moved based on people here as well!

BTW, I only get mad and react when the bashing starts, and even that I've cooled off on somewhat.

Tell you what Wedesdo - let's just leave our differences alone and move on with life, ok?

He's an extremely relgious person, maybe even a little reactionary. He is against abortions, even in cases of rape, and he never listens to scientific fact and knowledge

hmm...i thought he was an atheist, pro-death in all circumstances (even the oft controversial retrograde abortion), and does listen to fax? autobots, transform!

Hockey is the only true sport. All other sports are just &quot;shadows&quot; of the one true sport - hockey. ;)

Mikal:
I've always had one, you and I just tangled in the one subject I have been pretty humourless about here in OT (religion). Still, I realized I was taking threads/debates/flames about it too seriously, and I'm saying that honestly, despite our differences and past tangles over religion, I don't dislike anyone here at all. :)

Different opinons and perspectives make for an interesting place to be, don't you think? :)


Antisocial - actually I think its the opposite, but I don't think it matters to becoming Elite. (Ask UG or Red!)

Optimus: I remember it like it was......uh, April! I've mellowed out a lot since then...
And the arguments around here are alot of fun until someone gets a bit too serious about it...... So, I'm doing my part to inject levity. :)

Once one discovers the Meaning of Life, can only one become truly Elite.



Huh? :confused:
