Believers, Non-Believers & Morality

I don’t know what puerile means and am feeling too lazy right now to look it up.

Do you think your fellow Christians here in this community ~ aside from those with whom you resort to your infantile routine ~ and aside from Philokalia who identified you as what he sees as the best regular poster here ~ do you think the other Christians here admire you?

I post like that and post about tiger, kiddo (that’s you, by the way,) Principal Saunders, Miss Alawat and Heartpence because I think it’s funny. I enjoy the creativity associated with posting about tiger and Ghost’s knickers and chuckle to myself while I’m doing it. I suppose my target audience is whoever wrote the post I’m replying to, except Snorkel Boy is always reading about tiger.

Snorkel Boy had me in stitches. 😀

What an odd question. Do you think there are people here that admire you? Is your inbox spammed with 'admiration mail' from all your fans?

I don’t know and I really don’t care. There’s a big, interesting and fun world outside this forum.

But I’d add that I know you personally admire me and I appreciate that very much. Your admiration is one of the reasons I incorporated Kiddo (that’s you) into the “Where’s Tiger?” book series.

I even duplicated tiger’s snorkel boy avatar, though he quickly changed his avatar to something else when he saw what I had done.

Admire my contributions? Yes, there are. I talk to them on Facebook and through PMs and I know several in 'real life' either having met them or on the phone. I have made numerous friends here, obviously. Presumably, it isn't the same for you. Or maybe it is?

I wasn’t aware Philo said that. That’s nice to know. I like Philo and admire his patience with your Man of 1,000 Questions routine.

Is it true you’ve been drinking with tiger or was that with another poster?

Why is this ~ the existence of "big, interesting and fun world outside this forum" ~ in your mind, a justification for behaving the way you do during the 12+ hours you are here every day and all through your nighttimes week in week out?

Do you ask people you meet in real life unending questions in the rapid-fire style you use here? Has anyone you met in a restaurant or pub ever excused themselves to go to the restroom and never returned?

That's odd, I thought you deleted PMs the moment they reach your inbox. I guess you only make friends with people that agree with you.

I did that to you and to Roman1009 because you were asking creepy questions in public so telling you to send me PMs and then deleting them unread put an end to that.

Are you friends with any Christians here apart from divegeester?

Of course.

You’re exaggerating the amount of time I spend here (grossly exaggerating, actually,) and I wouldn’t even be on this forum or website if I wasn’t playing chess. Playing chess is the reason I log onto this website.

There are some posters who haven’t made a chess move on here in years and others who only make 5 or 10 moves a month. Clearly they place a great deal of importance on this forum. I really don’t. It can be interesting, entertaining and fun, but my life doesn’t revolve around it.
