For first-time posters

July 22, 2010 • 12:11 pm

Just a note:  if you haven’t posted here before, there might be a slight delay before your initial post shows up.  I have to approve all first-timers, which I’ll do unless you’re a creationist, an annoying troll, or a bull-goose loony.  Since I’m not monitoring email 24/7, you might see some time elapse before your post appears.

    1. “Who’s the head bull-goose loony around here?”

  3. JC said nothing about them being mutually exclusive.

    Also, he shares his initials with Jesus Christ…

  4. Definition from the Urban dictionary:

    Bull-Goose Loony

    “The opposite of Bull Moose. A Bull Goose is when a guy is on the receiving end of a strap-on from a girl who is flapping her arms like wings.”

    I can understand why one would not want comments from them.

  6. Why wouldn’t you allow creationists? Shouldn’t we be allowed to rip apart their ‘arguments’?

    1. Because before creationists comment, they equip robes of incorrigibility, which provide them with a +8 to defense rolls against evidence based arguments and a +3 bonus to saves against clarity.

      In non-nerd english, creationists have this nasty habit of making an absurd claim, hearing (and sometimes even acknowledging) the inevitable rebuttal and then REPEATING THEIR CLAIM VERBATIM.

      They’re worthless and don’t add anything to the discussion.

  7. Lurker, just trying to get on the approved list in case I need to post later.

    I am an atheist non-troll, and can provide references if needed.

  8. Actually, first-time posters, there’s a test. Before you can comment on WEIT, you have to mock the religious to their face, shout forced laughter at them, and call them “stupid,” “ignorant” and the like.

    AT CONSERVATION EVENTS

  9. Ok…what the devil is a conservation event?

    …and I generally think creos arent stupid as a rule, but when they exhibit the inability to understand/comprehend the facts, and show no desire to even try to do so, I have to wonder.

  10. Is this a new policy? Better run a test post then… My old cookies are destroyed with my former computer that died a hot, fierily death when the power-supply shorted and caught on fire…
