I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.
-Lyrics by Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead

And especially: Thanks, Onifre! Dude, you inspired me in that thread. (And I must admit to having some second thoughts about my "capitulation" in my subsequent dialog with RAZD -- I hope you don't hold it against me. Consensus is all well and good, but I still do worry about some implications of some of the things that RAZD seems to be saying in some of his posts there...)

Cool, Otto. Glad I could do that, and, great post.

The one thing I'll say, from having tried to establish my point, is, the subject is sooo subjective that (1) a concesus is hard, (2) you probably will change your mind about what you once conceded on, (3) RAZD will always imply things that will worry me.

Indeed. I would largely agree with your choices. No matter how much I may personally agree or disagree on certain subjects with those you mention.

Percy did at one point talk about a sort of hall of fame type thing. Where the best 10 posts ever as voted for from POTM nominations were available to view. No idea how it would work in practise but the principle is a good one IMHO.

"Or something like that" as Moose would say.
