I used to love the frequently good if not in some cases annoying posts of Rrhain; the lunacy of Desmoda (sp? PLEASE come back, D!) and John's debate in one of the Flood threads, and the way in which he absolutely demolished his opponent, was striking.
Rrhain is like a grizzly bear. He spends the few times that he's awake very very active and then sleeps the rest of the time.
Desdamona was my sadistic best friend. Her uncontrolable or unwillingness to control temper got her about a dozen warnings, 3 big fat warnings and a permanent ban. Rest assured that she is by no mean dead. I converse with her on other forums from time to time.

Re: Out of hiding
Can't really find them now. She tries to hide her real identity and have continuously denied that she was desdamona on other forums. Being her sadistic best friend, I can recognize her writing style even if she has submitted her posts through a randomization machine before posting.
Anyway, I'll let you know the next time we encounter each other.

...on this forum I continuously see my faith being compared to Santa Claus, the tooth fairy etc. It seems to me that ridiculing people's most fundamental beliefs is hardly reasoned argument. It is rude, and if it wasn't for the fact that I can read the posts of people like cavediver, (even if I can only understand miniscule bits of his posts), I wouldn't stick around.
I am one of those that more often than not compare any religious belief with the belief in santa claus and tooth fairy. While I can't say that I empathize with how you feel, I have to say that such a comparason is often not meant to ridicule. It is there to point out the obvious fallacy that some christians (and sometimes people of other worldly faiths) try to pass their faith-based "facts" as real world facts.
If you're going to say something like 'god saves', why not say 'Ra shines'?
I don't think it's necessary/fair for you to take offense in that. You choose to believe in the christian faith, and you have every right to do so. People like me choose to see Jesus=Ra=Santa=unicorn=etc., and we have every right to do so.
