So white dwarves are filled with miles of diamonds and when supernovas explode they leave behind a perfect ball of metal, one atom of it weighs as much as a battleship.

I dig the way you hammer in the morning, hammer in the evening, all over this land. Especially when you hammer at danger, hammer at warning, and hammer at the love between the brothers and the sisters all over this land.

I should stop pointing out things like the evangelical preacher who said "The depression is bad for society but wonderful for us! Membership is up 40%!"

I wish you a happy birthday and no ill will.
...
With that said, probably my single greatest moment of hatrack shame (out of many moments, probably including this one) was when you switched to this username and your behavior was so absurd and immature that I actually apologized to you, believing that someone was pretending to be you to make you look like a fool and a troll.

I really am a pariah here.
It's self-proclaimed victimhood posts like this which make it very hard to discern your positive aspects.

Maybe try starting with "I'm turning 'x' today, my friends are doing so and so," and you'll be more likely to get the results you seem to be looking for. Celebrations of birthdays are easier to get behind as a common experience than the idea that we should be required to heap praise on an individual.

I don't troll.
I've never met you, you may have a good heart. But your recent posts have tended towards insulting, bashing, and talking down to others. Then you claim you're a victim of persecution when people get upset, often in a highly nonsensical and untruthful manner.
A good heart doesn't matter if it's not used.

Did I really hurt that many feelings over the Prop 8 stuff?
I've toned way down.
...but I still always have the Urge to speak at the American Christian Churches who claim to be the "One True Church" of Christ. If I say I am the One True Screenwriter, I get blasted from all angles, and I can't say that the Catholic Church has any more evidence of being the "One True Church" any more than I have evidence of being the "One True Screenwriter."
Who would have guessed that the end of Conservative Christian rule in America would end in total financial collapse?

Thor, I've enjoyed much of your participation at Hatrack over the many years you've been here. I don't know if you recall it, but I met you in a Sci-Fi Books aol chatroom before either of us was a member here. Occasionally you get a little riled about some subjects, and it kinda turns me away the way your tone changes.
Most of the time, though, I view your posts as poetry -- and I just don't get poetry. I've tried decoding it, just reading it, reading it aloud, having someone read it to me -- it's just not my thing. So I assume that I am (unfortunately) incapable of truly appreciating what many of your posts are intended to be, and can only take away the surface level. And I honestly believe that's my shortcoming, not yours.
In regard to your last post, please remember, at least as I recall, it wasn't your stance on prop 8 that alienated many people. It was the manner in which you discussed it, and the assumptions and generalizations you made about others whether they agreed with your conclusions or not.
I'm sorry that some people took this thread as an opportunity to be mean. I hope you had a good birthday, and will have many to come.

Well, no. Mainly, it was your overgeneralizations, your ego, and your inability to demonstrate any understanding of what people were actually saying to you (as opposed to your rather one-sided expectations of what they would say).
You owe some good people some apologies before I'll extend a hand again.

Thor reminds me of one of the kids I used to take care of at a day camp. When you tried to talk to him about things he would shuffle and turn in circles with his face pointed straight up at the sky. To this day, the image is with me.
