But then they kind of petered out for one reason or another.
Because every "episode" of Kyler's is the same.

List arbitrary attributes of the Book of Mormon
Assign arbitrary probabilities to them
Multiply probabilities to get the target result

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I was wondering if you are applying here to be a moderator?

If you're made moderator will you give me special privileges?

:P
Truth be told, the only person that, in my experience, has been a just a fair moderator is Shades himself. So, the fact that he is not able to allocate the time which would be necessary to be a fair and just moderator puts this board in somewhat of a dilemma. Without fair and just moderators this board will continue towards a ‘crash and burn’ trajectory.

And by the way, I don’t know what his current life struggles are, but I wish him all the best. I’ve met him in real life, and I have respect for the man.

:roll: as usual, I have no clue what this even means or why you mentioned my name......
...No biggie - Here's the good news: These opportunities that we all have don't vanish, they don't disappear forever, as long as any of us still have air in our lungs, these opportunities to do the right thing are always available to each and every one of us. Obviously, this includes you, Lem.
Is this a devotional? Or a motivational speech? Should people clap? Anyway, carry on. I know not the ways of the raccoons and whales.

On the other hand, if this is your roundabout way of apologizing publicly for your recent sexist comments to me, thank you. It is appreciated.

If I had to give it a label, I would probably call it "Shared Wisdom" - I would be the one who is sharing the wisdom and you would be the one who needs it and gets to choose if you will accept it or reject it.

As far as clapping goes, given the appreciation that you should have, I would say clapping is probably an appropriate thing to do.

- My long-winded posts: yes, trolling from what I can tell is fine within Shades' vision and board culture, that was directed to everybody.
Lem, You do have an option to do the right thing here. You don't even have to go as far as apologizing to anyone, you can simply say you had a misunderstanding or that you misread something. No biggie - I have many of my own.

Plus, I will even let you know what my response would be before you take such a high risk. I would tell you "No worries, I've done it too. All is well."

But, you are the one who has to make the first move.
Hey Ceebs. This concept of telling someone else that they have to make the first move always puzzles me. What is it supposed to accomplish? When I try to picture myself saying that or something, I can’t get past the notion that I’m letting someone else decide how I will behave. Not only that, I’m telling them they are responsible. Which they aren’t. Would you be willing to help me out here?

This pretty much nails it.

Ceeboo, I don’t know what’s going on between you and Lemming, but the fact that she knows not the ways of raccoons and whales would be a bit disconcerting/troublesome,would it not?

Good luck bridging the gap. There’s a large land mass to cover.

Careful! You’re about ten seconds away from being called a sexist by Lem.
