Probably not.

Speaking as someone who wasn't censored for admittedly odd religious
beliefs, I think it was the form of expression rather than the
thought itself.

And next time you're on FPN, invite your asshole friends to come
discuss it on the usenet.


I didn't invite anyone. Why would I when you're here?

If you want to write about your kooky religious beliefs, here would
probably be a better place for that than FPN. At least here you won't
be moderated or censored.

And next time you're on FPN, invite your asshole friends to come
discuss it on the usenet.

Deidre, insulting people is not nice. You should know that. I'm not
going to put a blowtorch up under your ass for two reasons, one,
because you're a woman and it wouldn't be gentlemanly, and second,
because you have made many positive contributions to this forum and
wasted very little bandwidth.

In return, I think it would be nice of you to invite some assholes
from FPN to this forum.

Ehh, I'll save it for livejournal. Fits better there.

You've been a bit over-the-top, and I've been away from usenet too long,
so my apologies.

Let's get something straight, Ruaidhri: You might be a big shot on
FPN and those dip****s might come whining to you to censor people on
FPN, but you can't do any censoring here, and, as you can see from the
examples of some of the FPN crybabies who have complained
here--whining won't get you nowhere on the usenet. It might work on
FPN but not here.

What's more, on the usenet, we don't have to put up with just sitting
by quietly while those FPN ****nuts display their rank stupidity, like
you have to do on FPN, because if you started banning all the idiots
on FPN, damn, you wouldn't be left with but a very few people. If any
of those dip****s come here and post about how they put ink in the
microwave, or run up a post explaining they've discovered ink can
stain, anybody here can call them out for the ****ing idiots they are
without having to worry about you or any of your asshole friends
censoring or moderating or banning anybody.

And I know you aren't the leader of those dip****s, but you're in with
them.

Those dip****s are too yellow to come here and post, but you ought to
tell them to come here and take a look.

For small values of blessed, at least. My taste in pens and Frank's don't
have much overlap.

Post it whereever you please. But you won't be posting it in the FPN
chatter forum. A lot of those dip****s on FPN go in for traditional
crap, which is why a lot of them use fountain pens. A lot of the guys
on FPN actually use straight razors and shaving soap and brush--there
was a thread on chatter about it awhile back. A lot of these same
people whine about saturated inks made by Nathan and PR, whining about
the stain, and they prefer some old ugly ass blue-black that goes
along iwth their antique pens.

And they whine about nib creep. "Boo-hoo, Nathan's ink creeps my
nib."

And these are the same ones who whine to high heaven when somebody
posts a nontraditional religious concept on FPN, or when somebody
suggests that George Bush be tried for treason.

Goddamn, if fountain pens got relegated to the same status as using
straight razors--that's what people like Nathan Tardif and others are
trying to move fountain pens away from. Overall, FPN probably does a
disservice to fountain pens and are working hard to hasten the
extinction of fountain pens. Let's face it: if we couldn't get
Nathan's ink or PR's ink or the new Diamine inks, we'd be left with
the old ugly colors they used back in the days people used straight
razors, which is exactly what a lot of people on FPN use and advocate.

As I've said on FPN, I'm a bit forgetful, so I kinda like the nib creep.
It reminds me what ink's in what pen.

I personally wonder a lot about people who think they're really using
fountain pens when the best pen they've got is a Lamy Safari. And they
want a Lamy forum.

I admit: I don't like Lamy pens. It's the Lamy users that drive me bats,
though.

That's okay, they don't like colorful pens, either.

(More for me!)
