Hi, just though I'd introduce myself. I'm Rev. John Sapphire, poet/dramatist/actor/editor-in-chief/author/essayist/critic/librettist, published in four of my many, many capacities. My favorite writer is Oscar Wilde, and W.S. Gilbert ties with Aristophanes and Lewis Carroll for second.
I detest three things in life: pointed sticks, people that smoke in public places such that I have to smell them, and argumentum ad hominem. Oh, and Debussy. Him too. Conversely, my three great passions in life are Gorgonzola cheese, megalomania, and chocolate truffles. I am 1/4 British, Irish and Polish, and 1/8 Austrian and Italian.
Now, before I do something terrible, someone please tell me who the important people are, so I don't offend them, the irritating people/fundamentalists are so I do offend them, and who the delightful folk are, so I have charming conversations with them.
Rev. Sapphire

well i'm 1 of the most talkative ppl on here (cn't spell 2 save mi life, bt ppl usually come 2 understand me)- and you've pretty much already insulted me- immensely.
i am by no means a fundementalist wen it comes to religion (i'm starting agnostic starting to lead 2wards aethist)- but my family, and myself for a very long time, are muslim. my mother, like me, was born into the religion, and my father is a convert. i also find the fact that 3 of the '3' things u detest are in fact 3 religions, extremely (for lack of a better word) racist. okok- so i'll give u that it is only 1 form of christianity, but it is simply their beliefs and just cannot penalise for those beliefs. and the same goes for jews and muslims.
a piece of advice for u rev, think b4 u type- i no of no other person on this forum who has the same or even simillar prejudices as you.

If you have a purpose to offend here, I suggest you leave - which is a shame, because the Guild is always welcoming to one new face. If you didn't mean to offend, I think you should swiftly edit your post, and pretend it never happened. Keep any prejudices to yourself - you'll do fine.

Looks like I missed the fun. I'm guessing the post was edited because I see nothing insulting. Welcome to the site John. I'm the debate moderator, and global mod. But I'm not one of the important people. Those you need to suck up to are Angie and AshVersion2 (sorry dude, looks like you started by rubbing Ash the wrong way.) Enjoy the site, it's great fun. By the way, don't worry too much about getting off to a bad start John. If I remember correctly I had almost everyone in the entire guild mad at me when I first joined.

Well, I was saying that you were more of a Lizzy than a Darcy. And John was either referring to the same thing, or your previous post, particularly the, I quote, 'no harm dun?' part. ;D
