Is it THAT bad if I quote myself?

Women and RPGs are very similar in one respect - it's all in how you play them.

Prime32... I might have to sig that. Do you mind?

Anyhow, someone needs to re-immortalize Razorface's advice to all complaining about healing in D20Modern:

Phaedrus just posted something I found "epic"-ly entertaining:

Q178: Can a spontaneous caster make use of the Abjurant Champions class ability Swift Abjuration by default?

"cast abjuration spells as a swift action, as if you had applied the Quicken Spell feat to them (but without any change in level)"

Normally spontaneous casters can't make use of Quicken. Is Rapid Metamagic necessary?

Only if your DM is a god-hating atheistic communist. With aids. Seriously. Skip Williams should be beaten to death with the corpse of a spontaneous caster for making up that rule.

If I had AIDS, I'd be exactly the guy he's talking about. Is he bearing a grudge and hoping I catch AIDS?

Right...

Also: Stupid question begets stupid answer. Just think what non-"intellectual" people will think of when they hear the word "communist". Then decide whether you really want to associate with that.

If someone can't be bothered to look past stereotypes and investigate the actual meaning of a word, rather than rely on what they're force-fed by others, then I don't want to associate with them.

Hmm. I didn't feel the need to act upon the stereotyping of "atheist" or "communist", although I could conceivably identify as such. Really, weird.

edit:

Ok, I feel bad. I didn't want to start a fight at all. At first this was just a little fun, then a little sarcasm, and I don't want to know what this could devolve into. I took this too far by calling someone stupid and I apologize. To clarify, I hold no grudges against Tshern - or anyone here, really.

The thing that irked me is that someone can lash out against an entire nationality and at the same be so sensitive about someone saying (the equivalent of) "communists are assholes". Cause, y'know, they were. So were the nazis. That's what communist means in this context. In some other thread, discussing philosophy, that type of thing would be inappropriate. All I'm saying is that the political concept of communism is just as inappropriate in a "fun" thread like this.

Did I miss something here? I didn't even see a fight. And to clarify, I wasn't offended and I never thought you were picking a fight or trying to mock me. Now we should probably abandon the discussion and let the quotes flow in.

Yeah, I didn't either. I was just saying that if someone (Not Suzerain, whose example was what I was building off of) wasn't willing to think for themselves, then there wasn't much point in associating with them. Not trying to bash any members here in any way.

Anyway, on with the quoting.

The Great Debate!

America, right now, is kind of like the Drow.

Sure, there may be a ton of redeemed and/or redeemable ones, but as an entire society, we still rightly deserve how the other races treat us, even though Illithids and Aboleths are out there as well.
There is a flaw in your analogy! We're not matriarchal. I henceforth dismiss your entire comparison, no matter how accurate it may be in its relevant points, and proceed to post inflammatory inquiries regarding your sexual orientation and/or parentage!
I didn't realize you were a (insert opposing political party) pundit Bauglir! That explains everything about your entire personality!
I take offense at your blatant simplification, and demand that you retract such a slanderous statement, you damn dirty (other political party) member! Only someone of such obviously low moral standards would make such a claim, or support such a reprehensible organization! You must be the greatest hypocrite I've ever encountered!

From another forum:

Dismissing stuff as "just a theory" is a slightly more verbose way of saying "I'm dangerously retarded".

I don't understand how that is anything but wrong. Was it supposed to be funny, sardonic, or satirical? Maybe the person who wrote it doesn't know what a theory is.

No, I think people dismissing things as "just theories" are usually pretty serious. So yeah, idiots who don't know what a theory is.
So you end up stuck in an endless loop, unable to act, forever.

In retrospect, much like Keanu Reeves.

Let me list some theories:

I won't get hit by a meteorite and die tomorrow.

A bunch of monkeys won't fly out of my ass.

The cereal I intend on eating in the morning is imitation coco puffs and not feces.

Every molecule of air around me won't randomly move away from me at the same time and I suffocate instantly.

Putting an irritated mongoose into my rectum is a bad idea.

I won't have a freak allergic reaction to a tarantula bite when one finally does bite me (it's inevitable in my hobby.  It's considered an initiation if you get bit and keep going.)

Now here's the thing:  You probably rely on thousands of theories every day when you go out and do things.  Granted, some are bad theories.  The theory I had a while back that Bacardi 151 and Ranch Dressing went well together was proven disastrously wrong.  I modified my theory to not include Bacardi 151, and now my theory is that ranch dressing is okay, just in small doses.

But just because that was a bad idea doesn't mean I should run and stick a mongoose up my ass after slapping it around a bit.  Saying that something is unworthy of your attention because it's "just a theory" is essentially a bunch of words that don't mean anything.  It's similar to if I said something you didn't like and dismissed it as "just my opinion".  Yeah, the fact that I said it proves it was my opinion, no need to point that out.

Saying something is a theory means that there is some way to prove it wrong.  I could possibly get hit by a meteorite.  It is possible for a bizarre set of circumstances to occur that would result in monkeys flying out of my ass.  If you are going by pure scientific law, you literally have roughly 18 of them.  (Depends on who you ask on that one, some scientists say there are more, and I'm not prepared to argue the point at this time).  No matter how hard I try, I can't make gold from nothing.  I will never make water that has anything other than two atoms of Hydrogen and one atom of Oxygen without it being something else entirely.
