I'm cranky, but seriously...just a thought here...

If you're going to say things like this:

Ever read Thomas Pynchon? Yeah, he's one of my favorite authors. Rambling Narratives is a literary tool, I use it to great extent. The primary purpose is to select your readership. Those that can read and comprehend easily are more likely to read rambling narratives...

(which was an obvious attempt to be condescending, or at the very least to imply a shortcoming on the part of the reader rather than on your own part) you should probably make sure you spell things right...y'know, words like "hypocrisy" (not "hypocracy") and "emphasize" or, if British, "emphasise" (not "emphisis." "Emphasis" is the noun). 

I wouldn't be doing the grammar/spelling nazi thing, especially not as a noob, but maaaan do I hate when people are undeservedly condescending.  Meh.

History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.

but the music sucks because the keyboards don't have the cold/mechanical sound they had but a wannabe techno sound that it's pathetic for Rammstein standars.

Kallisti, I hate when people are arguing with bad spelling. It bothers me a lot, and I probably would have called our firestarter on it, if I'd been reading his posts.
The thread is much more amusing if you skip over everything said by someone with a furry avatar, and try to interpolate what they said based on the response. It's like an adventure!

Oh, and Narr, don't take this personally, but you OBVIOUSLY have never worked retail during the Christmas season.
You need to get your facts straight, meine Freundin.  I have worked at GameStop over the holidays at least twice.

I know people can be bastards, and you know what?  The best way to get them to become a TOTAL bastard is to be a bastard right back.  Kill 'um with kindness.  Some people won't warm over no matter what, but some will.

I live to love.  Regardless of how many times I get hurt, I refuse to become a miserly codger.  A "Scrooge" if you will.  The times that it's payed off have been otherworldly, utterly beyond my vocabulary to attempt to do it justice.  Something right now is going right in my life and for lack of a better way of describing my good mood, I've transcended "happy" into some other, stronger, more meaningful state of being.

Am I aware of the "Satanic" ties to Christmas. Well, sure, in the sense that it's hedonistic. Of course, it could still be worse, because the idea is at least to lavish someone else with empty materialism. Am I bothered? Not really. It feels good, as long as you don't get too carried away, and you're engendering a feeling of caring and connectedness to other people. So, why should you care about the "religious" aspects of the holiday anyway, unless you're a fundamentalist idiot. Existentialism rules.
