It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon. There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot. Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.

Well in the art selection process I might well be the equivalent of the fat cack handed clumsy kid nobody wants on their sports team at school. Some enthusiastic but talentless stints at drumming and a latent desire to be a writer of some sort are about the extent to which any artform has ever wanted me on it's team. I drummed as well. I wasn't any good. My 12 year old daughter plays them very well. She's in a school "rock" band and shows good promise. Do you still write? I'm writing 2 pilots now for next years sitcom pitch season, which starts in February. Got a movie script that I need to put on paper already, been working on the concept for 3 years now.
Oh I'll drink most things but the deeply chemicalised artificially fizzed mass produced lagers of the world would be fairly low down the list. Not that this ever stops me. Pretensions of beer snobbery are all very well but if they get in the way of a good time I take a more pragmatic approach. Now that I can respect. A man who knows good beer but also knows when to ignore the selection quality and just get to some fuck'n drink'n. LOL
Hard liquor man huh. Tequila is my personal loopy juice. Just cannot handle the stuff at all. My achilles heel (if I am to outrageously and arrogantly equate myself with Achilles even in this rather silly context) Tequila makes me throw up in my mouth... just the smell makes me queezy. Are you a Patron man, or Cuervo? If it's shots we're doing, I like good ole wiskey. 5 or 6 wiskeys and equal amount of beers and I'm ready to fight some football (soccer!) hooligans.
It is a sad reflection on the male psyche that we feel the need to compete in such ludicrous and self defeating acts of machismo. I don't know if it's a sad thing, one could argue that that type of competitiveness has brought about a lot of progress from our (any) species. Now we're reduced to drinking games and beer funnels, but it's part of our male genetic makeup IMO.
Having said that of course should we ever meet up and hit the beers for a night the last man standing wins national honours and the right to eternally mock the other (and his nation) as a girly frilly dress wearing loser. ...AND, must take a picture of shame and have that as the avatar for 1 month.
Just don't start on the tequila.............. Jagermeister it is. For absolutely no reason, Dave Attell telling some Jager jokes. - Oni

I drummed as well. I think most wannabe rockstars who can't sing and who are too lazy to learn guitar do at some point I did expand my repetoire to bongos and steel drums which was fun for me even if not those upon whom I inflicted my percussionary "genius".
I wasn't any good. Oni I hate to break this to you, I know from personal experience that it is a hard fact to accept, but if we cannot even make it as drummers into our thirties we should probably give up on any remaining hopes of making it as a bonafide rockstar. Don't shoot the messenger.....
My 12 year old daughter plays them very well. She's in a school "rock" band and shows good promise. Good for her. Girl drummers are cool.
Do you still write? Not really. Some ideas for short films. Some of which me and a mate have actually made in times gone by. Although even then we haven't made one for a couple of years. I would love to write a book. But who wouldn't?
I'm writing 2 pilots now for next years sitcom pitch season, which starts in February. Got a movie script that I need to put on paper already, been working on the concept for 3 years now. Cool! You are at least doing the creative thing and making it part of your life and career. Good luck with it.
Tequila makes me throw up in my mouth... just the smell makes me queezy. Are you a Patron man, or Cuervo? I have no fuck'n idea!! If I have got to the "Let's do tequila stage" I am too far gone to know what the hell I am doing. If it tastes like rancid worm juice (with salty lime) and sends me over the edge of lunacy then I know it is tequila. But what kind is really rather irrelevant by that point.

Now we're reduced to drinking games and beer funnels, but it's part of our male genetic makeup IMO. Well I like your attitude. The next time my wife complains about such things I will tell her that without psychologically flawed dicks like me the human species would still be living in caves. If that doesn't confuse her into submission nothing will (nothing being far more likely)
...AND, must take a picture of shame and have that as the avatar for 1 month. Now I am scared.............. Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

I'd be happy to meet just about any of the members of EvC.
It would be especially fun to get several of us together. To see if our debating styles carry over into the real world, and if our most eloquent posters are as interesting in person as on this site. I guess my dream would be some kind of EvC convention with some of the top posters as speakers, and live debate. Imagine Razd and straggler duking it out on stage. We'd probably have to make that the last debate of the convention. -Meldinoor

But what if they are bumbling bewildered idiots in person? How disappointing would that be? Some things are maybe best left to the imagination.

It would be interesting to have some statistics on the site showing how our active members are geographically distributed. That way it would be possible to see where larger groups of us lived, and we could stage these kinds of events. Also, it might be fun to know who lives nearby etc.
Sadly, it looks like we're far too geographically distributed to easily get very many of us together in the same room. -Meldinoor

I read a book about that a few years ago and was inspired to pull it off my bookshelf once again by your reference here. Here is a link for those unfamiliar with the book or the storry of Wittgenstein's Poker
