[quote=Jorick] Oh, well then, my bad on missing the sarcasm. That's a very odd use of ellipses, as it typically means just a trailing off, but whatever works I guess. We really need some kind of punctuation that officially denotes sarcasm in text to avoid these kinds of silly misunderstandings.[/quote] /s is the standard on Reddit, but I don't like to do anything that makes RPG more like Reddit, when I can help it. One site I went to had a 'Dodgy' smiley that we all just sorta used instead. *shrug* [quote]I wouldn't count that sort of thing as people trying to force a union between church and state, but that's not at all the upper limit of what some fringe nutters try to push. They're a tiny minority so far as I can tell, but there are indeed people out there who want their country to quite literally adopt the laws of the Bible as the laws of the country, basically as a Christian version of Sharia law. Oh, and there's also the hardcore Muslim folks who try to advocate for real Sharia law being implemented in placed like England and such. It's really a non-issue in most countries, but these people do indeed exist, which is what I think Nevis was trying to say in the thing you quoted. [/quote] So, what, the "No Christmas Allowed" people get a pass for being a tiny minority, but the Christians get roped in with the neofascists? Double standard -- which is a natural and common thing, I'm not trying to be confrontational about it (even though using the word 'fascist' in a conversation is kind of automatically confrontational.....) I'm just pointing it out as an inconsistency. EDIT: No, wait, shit, now I misread YOUR post, fuck. Well..... whatever. I'm pretty sure we're both cognizant so I'll just leave it.
