I think the off topic forum is completely unecessary. Given the website's primary subject matter, we shouldnt be launching into arbitrary arguments with people on a website devoted to painting miniature figurines. But hey, thats just one man's opinion of it.

I'd be careful about re-posting that, mate...
He dodges the swear filter on it (quite masterfully, I might add), and you don't wanna attract the attention of the mods. Just a piece of friendly advice.

In your base, ignoring your logic.

Shuma is supposed to make us feel dirty, like dirty little heathens who need an education. Maybe Dogma and Shuma are the same people, but I can say that about a lot of people. Like I think Orkeo and I are the same, but maybe not.

Why'd you have to bring up the quote where he mentions me, specifically?

Apparently I'm a bad Christian because I took umbrage with his belief that it should be okay for children should to be euthanized up to 18 months of age. I'm really not a bad guy. Well, I am, but in an endearing sort of way.

This meta-spam thread is running quite long. Wonder where Reds8n is?

Oh cmon thats the best part. I like highlighting a thread to see what the last person said, and all you see is so and so said, so and so said, so and so said, so and so said

Its hilarious! On a more OT note, I dont see why it matters if DAKKA is focused on miniature wargaming or not. I think having an off topic in any forum is a smart move. It keeps people from cluttering up other forums devoted to something other then politics, or jokes, or music, or religion or what have you
