Though I would consider that common knowledge, it is, nonetheless, interesting. [ Wednesday, May 25, 2005 15:12: Message edited by: Archmage Alex ] -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

My point was that it is clearly easier to avoid swearing if those around you are not doing it. If I somehow implied people who swear are bad people, my apologies. Such was not my intention. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! INTJ 100% 75% 100% 44% Huzzah for the Masterminds! www.Keirsey.com for personality information. The Sloganizer!

*Gasp!* It must have been removed! Good thing I saved it on my computer in case just such a thing were to happen. And yes, that was it.

In an odd, but related, note; I had a dream the other day in which we did have avatars and I was distressed because mine took up the whole page for some reason. Interestingly, it was the picture that I would use for my avatar. (It can be seen in my profile.) -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

First, to Ben: Here's your problem and the reason your arguments are so weak. 1. You are stating as undeniable truth that which is a matter of belief. I'm with Alec on the point that being Christian means no more than that you believe in the works/existence of Christ. The definition of a "good Christian" varies wildly from one belief system to another. If, by your definition of Christianity, you are more of a good Christian if you don't swear, good for you. However, your belief is not everyone's belief and you need to figure out that there's nothing wrong with that. Even if you should believe that you are right and they are wrong, the most it is your place to do is state your belief and allow them to agree or not. I, for one, think that every one has as much right to their beliefs as I do to mine, no matter the extent to which we may disagree. Besides, if a belief is forced upon some one, rather than them choosing to believe it of their own free will, can they really be said to believe it? 2. I am not entirely certain you are understanding your own beliefs properly, you sound strikingly similar to some particularly uninformed and close-minded members of my religion that I know. Or perhaps you are understanding correctly. In which case you are saying "You are all bad people if you don't believe my beliefs". If such is the case, I would ask you to please keep it to yourself, if you don't mind. ------------- On other things that have been said: Dolphin, I agree that merely hearing swear words does not mean you will say them. However, as I have said before, it is proven that what you hear is more on your mind than what you don't. Though you rarely swear, you do, by your own admission, swear. If you heard swearing constantly (note: constantly) eventually you would either begin to do so or it would be a constant struggle not to. The amount you hear it is directly proportional to how difficult it is to avoid saying it. However, I understand that it is not possible to avoid it entirely unless you live alone in a cave. It's not as though every time I hear certain words I go "AHH! My virgin ears! Speak no more!" However, if it is becoming frequent, I may ask some one to please try to avoid saying such things, as Ash said, as a matter of common courtesy. I don't remember who said it, but something about Christianity (and most other religions) pursuing goodness. I personally avoid swearing because, throughout my life, it has been given crude and obscene connotation. Something I do not view as synonymous with good. As another point, I myself express strong emotion in various inarticulate manners. It gets the point across just as well, without certain words being said, but, admittedly, at the sacrifice of articulation.

For the first point, it seems likely to me that the words you consciously attach certain connotations to would also have such connotations attached subconsciously. Or at the very least upon movement of the words from subconscious to conscious the connotations would then be attached. It is proven that the words you listen to, knowingly or not, are the words that will be in your head. If such words have offensive connotation for you, you will have offensiveness inside your head. As to the second quote, admittedly, it was poorly phrased and not the best thought out of my arguments. Perhaps this would be a good way to amend it: Say you know that many people think a word is bad. Contained within your knowledge of the word and the connotations you associate with it is the knowledge that many people believe it to be bad. Thus, as you use or hear the word, on some level you would recognize that fact, meaning not that you would have their negative connotations forced upon your mind, but that the word within your mind would create an argument and necessitate the decision, on some level, whether you agree or not. Basically, knowing some disapprove of the word makes it more complex within your mind and it is now "tainted". The meaning and connotation you attach to it, however simple, is now added upon. By knowing some disapprove, it is no longer just a word and is now also a decision to agree or not. While this is true of all words you hear a new meaning or connotation for, this decision is generally more prominent because it is, for most, a matter of choosing black or white and not deciding to adopt a minor alteration of meaning or clarification. Your knowledge has, sometimes at least, turned these particular words into decisions or the affirmation of a decision already made. Next, I never said that such words should be removed from language. As I said, The fact of the matter is there will always be people who wish to voice their thoughts in a crude and obscene manner. Thus there will always be words with such connotations and also people who do not wish to hear them. I acknowledge that such things will always be around and am not saying we should try to eradicate them from language. If you wish to convey your thoughts in an obscene manner, it is none of my business unless you are forcing me to hear it. Personally, I am of the opinion that there is godliness in “the carnal act” as you put it. However, there is having sex and there is committing adultery. A clear difference depending upon your beliefs. While you may not think there is anything wrong with adultery, please respect my belief and don’t do it with me. I was going to further argue with Ben, but you sort of beat me to it and I don’t have the time at the moment. Next time I’ll be more careful to clarify my support of concepts, not people. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

First of all, I am Archmage Alex not Archmagi Michael. Second of all, I wish to clarify and modify my above statement (it has also been changed above). I agree with the general point Ben made in the beginning. This later argument seems a bit biased and shoddily held together. For complete clarification, my point can be summed up: Swearing is a matter of perspective, but please don't use the words generally considered swearing in front of me. To help Ben, I assure you I very well understand your argument. However, you must understand that while you swearing and listening to music with cursing in it would make you a bad person, it is because you would be abandoning your beliefs by doing so and adopting language usage that through your life has come to have particular (law-breaking, degenerate, horrible) connotations. While I understand your argument, it is faulty in that you presuming to know the inner workings of everyone and predicting their reactions. To make your argument more accurate, you would need to clarify that it would be the surrounding of oneself with that which one, at heart, believes to be crude and offensive (whatever that may be) that would be a lowering of ones standards and make one a lesser person. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I understand the arguments in favor of swearing, however, I agree with the point that it can degrade your life. The point is not necessarily meaning and context so much as connotation. There are exceptions of course, such as Kingy, who were simply raised with such words and so they do not have offensive connotations. I am an exact opposite example. With my parents I grew up in a situation where I had a very long list of words with offensive connotations. I was 10 yrs. old before I found out that "crap" isn’t generally considered a swear word. The point is not the word, but the connotation and, in a couple cases, meaning. Those who object to swearing are not necessarily objecting to the words themselves, they are generally objecting to the connotations. Words themselves are just a collection of text or sounds we have associated with a particular meaning and connotation. The vast majority of people, if asked, would choose whether they'd rather be "thin" or "skinny". The meaning is exactly the same, however, some think that being "thin" sounds better than being "skinny" and some may think that "skinny" implies greater thinness than "thin". Some words are very widely viewed to have vulgar, crude, obscene, or otherwise offensive connotations. Such words are considered offensive less because of meaning or context and more because they imply crudity or obscenity. Calling some one a "microwave oven" would not likely greatly offend them. In the future, however, it might. Not because the meaning will have changed, but because the connotation will have. The vast majority of those who object to hearing "swear" words do not consider themselves to be vulgar, crude or obscene and thus are objecting to having language connoting vulgar, crude, and obscene things used in their presence. The fact of the matter is there will always be people who wish to voice their thoughts in a crude and obscene manner. Thus there will always be words with such connotations and also people who do not wish to hear them. If, in your mind, such words do not have vulgar, crude or obscene meaning and connotations, then they are not, technically, "swear" words. To you. However, to some of us (and a large portion of society) they are. Which is why some of us appreciate having others not use those words in our presence. Undeniably, everyone here is aware of the fact that some words are considered "cuss" words, regardless of whether they personally view them to be so or not. If you are among those who believe they are, listening to music full of words with crude and obscene connotations will, inarguably, fill your mind with crudity and obscenity. In the vast majority of cases, even should you not personally view such words in such a manner, your knowledge and experience, through a lifetime of interacting with those who do view them in such a manner, does, to at least a very small extent, plant within your mind a hint of such connotations. In many cases (especially in many cases of those who will be reading this) the words generally accepted to be “swear” words, to them, do not have offensive connotations or, at least, not very strong connotations. If such is your case, I say decide for yourself whether you wish to use them or not. However, I personally would appreciate it if you did not use such words in front of me, especially considering doing so violates the CoC. Similarly, if something I say offends you, inform me and I will cease saying such in front of you in order to respect your views and follow the CoC.

OOC: I didn't plan to have it be anywhere in particular. Early Exile3 Valorim is as good a place as any. Ermarian is flexible enough for almost whatever we can come up with. Were you just asking for clarity, or did you not what it to be set there? --------------------------- IC: Rummel felt a slight loss, but couldn't figure out why. Did it have something to do with that white flash? Glancing around at his followers, Rummel noticed that something seemed different. "Stop", he commanded his men, and quickly took a body count. Rummel's eyes narrowed dangerously. "There are two less of you! Where are they?" he demanded. Confused, the men looked about between themselves. "I said, where are they?!" Rummel shouted and gave his followers a moment of pain. "Wait," one of the men gasped as they were released. Glancing around, he continued, "Where's Tom and Luke?" The rest of the group glanced nervously about, they had no desire to see a repeat of Rummel's demonstration in the tavern. "Find them!" Rummel screamed, "And don't even think about trying to run!" Short investigation revealed the two strangled bodies. To the men's surprise, this actually calmed Rummel. So, Rummel thought, the spatula will alert me when a follower is killed. How nice. I must study it further and see what else my tool can do. They all shortly moved on, Rummel in the lead and deeply engrossed in the study of his spatula. * * * * * * * * * Argus followed the strange golem into the tower of Morimos the Enchanter. The faint screams of pain and horror that he heard from other parts of the tower made him have second thoughts about whether help was to be found here. As he was led through the twisting corridors, he studied the animated stone creature he was following. Who had ever heard of golem with tentacles? They entered the reception room and Argus got his first glance of Morimos. Twisted and middle aged, his was hair a variety of colors and sticking in all directions. His robes flared out in random places. Most disturbing, though, was the mad gleam that could clearly be seen in his eyes. "Why do you dare disturb me?!" he yelled in an odd squeaky voice, waving a tattered handkerchief in Argus' direction, "Why? Why?! Why I say?!!!"

OOC: Just so people are aware, I didn't know that he had planned Sunder to be his main character. I wouldn't have killed him, but I thought he was just another apprentice from the tower. Sorry. My mistake. We can say that Rummel killed the other apprentice and that Sunder was the one that escaped. ------------------ IC: Rummel, with Glen in tow, quietly approached the town. Rummel wasn't certain were to start. He needed more followers than just one. Certainly some that were better capable of defending themselves, and more importantly, him. Motioning Glen to follow, Rummel headed off in the direction of the tavern. Pushing through the door, Rummel scowled as he was greeted with the usual jeers. "Look 'ere now!", Bellowed the huge, hairy barman, "If in't the 'igh and mighty Rum come to show off 'is tricks again!" Snickers were heard around the room as the patrons remembered the last time Rummel had visited and had accidentally set his own hair aflame. "Shut up you drunken idiots! I'm here to make you all my servants!" Rummel shouted over the general noise. The room quickly quieted. "And how exactly do you plan to do that?" A large fighter asked from the side of the room. "Like this," Rummel said, with a small, evil smile. Raising the spatula above his head he shouted "Articulos en Massos!" The room was bathed in a red glow momentarily and everyone found themselves unable to move and in intense pain. "Well," Rummel said into the quiet, "you don't seem to be laughing now." He muttered the releasing phrase and the men collapsed gasping into their seats. Several quickly jumped up and grabbed their weapons, but as quickly as they could begin to approach him he struck them immobile again. "We leave immediately." Rummel announced. "We will be heading-" Suddenly, Rummel spun about and froze the large fighter who had been sneaking up behind him. Without pausing to wonder how he had known, he yelled, "I will not tolerate insubordination!" and began savagely beating the man's still form with the spatula. A few minutes later Rummel calmed, the torn, broken remains of the man at his feet. Then spatula was now noticeably glowing red and there was a slight red gleam in Rummel's eyes, as though they were reflecting the glow of the spatula. Now convinced that he wouldn't hesitate to kill them, the rest of the men were quick to obey as he ordered them to prepare horses and provisions for everyone. An hour later, Rummel and his 15 followers headed out of town. [ Wednesday, May 18, 2005 06:35: Message edited by: Archmage Alex ] -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

Once again, 'the wrong place at the wrong time' described Glen's situation. Stumbling through the woods to escape the archer, he tripped and fell directly into the stream that Rummel had paused to drink from. Before he could pick himself up, he heard "Articulos!" and found himself paralyzed with horrible pain in all of his joints. Seeing little threat, Rummel muttered "Relusos" and the terrified bandit collapsed, gasping, into the stream. "Who are you?" Rummel demanded. "G-glen" Glen managed to gasp. Smiling with dark inspiration Rummel responded, "Congratulations, you have the honor of being my first servant." Glen tensed as though to spring away and quickly found himself painfully immobile. "And don't even think of trying to disagree." A few moments later the stream was clear and the two fugitives were well on their way towards the nearest town. -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

He dares attack me! Rummel thought furiously as the flame passed overhead. Enraged beyond thought he leaped to feet, pointed the spatula at Sunder and shouted "Articulos!" A beam of red light shot from the spatula and hit Sunder. Instantly the apprentice found himself immobile, and with horrifying pain in all his joints. Rummel was pleased, then confused. How had he known the activating word? His rage suddenly returned, banishing the thought. Here he was, a respectable mage, being sent out on petty errands and then attacked by a mere apprentice upon his return! Glancing at Sunder he found an outlet for his anger. Charging the apprentice he began savagely beating his paralyzed form with the spatula. All became a red haze for Rummel then, after an indeterminate time, he suddenly snapped to clarity. Looking down at his feet he saw the bloodied, broken remains of Sunder. Horrified, Rummel staggered a few steps back. What had come over him? He hadn't meant to kill the fool. Looking to the side, he saw the other apprentice that had run up the road with a look of terror on his face. Panicking, Rummel tried to think of what to do. There was a witness! Before he could react, the apprentice dove into the woods and escaped. Rummel knew he couldn't catch the younger, more fit apprentice in the woods. The apprentice would surely be running back to the tower to alert Yorken. Knowing what punishments he would recieve at Yorkens cruel hands, Rummel took off running away from the tower, not even realizing he still held the, now softly glowing, spatula in his hand.

OOC: I've tried once or twice before, but they fizzled out. I'm hoping this one will do better. Also, please try to avoid posting that doesn't actually pertain to the story. Feel free to join though. Perhaps I'll add a bit more direction to the story. --------------------- IC: Rummel the mage stomped angrily down the road. As though Yorken the Sorcerer didn't make him suffer enough indignities back at the tower, now he was being sent out into nowhere to locate errant apprentices! Occupied with dark imaginings of what he would like to do Yorken and what he was going to do Korak, he would have missed the box had he not tripped over it and fallen on his face. “Curse you 9 ways to Wednesday!” Rummel shouted as he picked himself up and kicked the box over. He heard a rattling as the box bounced a few feet. Curious he decided to take a closer look. Upon inspection he found that it was sealed with the mark of Morimos. That half-wit apprentice must have lost the box on his return trip and been too frightened to return without it. As well he should be, Rummel reflected, Yorken wasn’t known for his understanding or forgiveness. Struck with an idea, Rummel picked up the box. If he were to return with it himself he might actually get a little appreciation from his master and he wouldn’t have to worry about that annoying little upstart anymore either! As the box rattled a bit more Rummel was forced to wonder what was inside. He could feel the power of it even through the box. Half the bindings are already undone, what could it hurt to peek inside? Rummel thought. Besides, I can say I found it open and blame it on that idiot. He quickly finished opening the box. As he lifted the lid he was both unsurprised and sorely disappointed. Was that a spatula? Why couldn’t that moron Morimos enchant normal things? Lifting it out of the box by the handle, Rummel quickly forgot his annoyance and disappointment. How had that enchanter put so much power into the thing! He could feel the power running through his entire body and he hadn’t even activated the utinsel yet!

OOC: The boards seemed somewhat slow and it has been a bit since the last RP, so I thought I'd try my hand at one yet again. --------------------------- IC: Korak trotted swiftly down the moonlit road. He knew his master was impatient to receive the package from his brother, Morimos the Enchanter, and he had little desire to carry the dangerous object any longer than he needed to. He didn't know what was inside the strange package, but he could feel the power of it through the box he carried. He hoped it was better than the last item. The Mug of Dandruff still gave him nightmares. As he tripped over a stone he couldn't help but wonder both why his master was always so eager for his brother's latest bizarre creation and how an idiot like Morimos had managed to get the knowledge and power to become an enchanter. Loud rustling to the side of the road startled Korak out of his musings. As such rustlings were unlikely to be a good sign at this time of night on an isolated road, he increased his speed. The rustling continued and seemed to be keeping pace. Worried, Korak broke into a run. An ursag sprung out onto the road ahead of him. Panicked, he spun about and saw that 3 large bears had come out onto the road behind him. Having no other choice, Korak started to dive into the forest to his left, but found himself facing a second ursag. Thinking that he might be able to use the enchanted object to defend himself he quickly began to undo the box’s bindings, but didn’t have time to finish before his head was snapped off in monstrous jaws. The box fell, unnoticed by the feasting ursagi, to the side of the road where it waited for the next passer-by… -------------------- Take the Personality Test!

I am proof that asking for custom title doesn't work. I don't start threads about it, (that generally invites unpleasantness) but I have asked somewhat often over the last several years. Maybe someday I'll actually make a contribution to the community and earn one, as opposed to my history of semi-lurkiness. Or maybe sometime Drakey will be in the mood and give me one. Of course, in such a case I may end up a title that is not necessarily the most desirable, as Drakey seems to enjoy doing that when he is in such moods. However, an argument could be made that having a less than desirable -custom- title is preferable to having a regular title. Is distinction worth an unpleasant title? -------------------- Take the Personality Test! INTJ 100% 75% 100% 44% Huzzah for the Masterminds! www.Keirsey.com for personality information.

I'd reveal my tricks, but I clearly have none. I hardly have any posts, let alone large amounts of hidden spam. Edit: Interestingly, I was told today that spam is supposed to taste oddly similar to human flesh.
