Ah, yes. Very good. Probably relevant.

Amazing you reference that site. I used to interact with Ghost Dog who's referenced at the bottom of that post. Are you familiar with sustainedaction.org?

Yes. That's good.

Interesting, will read up more.

Yes, I know. The names change based on mood. The canonical address remains the same. People are dumb, but perhaps I am dumb for treating them as equals. Perhaps that's not a fair assumption. I thought it was polite.
It's quite clear, that there's a bit of religion here and when I come in and point it out, they pull out their Bible and cast me out.
I get too weary to explain more. You know how it is arguing to evangelical Christians. Perhaps another time.
Mark, one of my real names.
