The act. I would demand more than money to compensate for stabbing.

Anyway, I was kinda thinking of changing it for a while, but I never got around to it. How do you do something like that anyway?
pm swamper or a mod. My nick originates from hs. That's all I'm saying about it .
I'm a month behind in studying for my CFA test which means I need to spend about 20-30 hours a week studying for it . As such, other than flippant comments or an odd article every now and then, no more long running debates from me until June.
If I start getting into debates I'm going to ask wicked neo to suspend me.

So with that said, has anyone else noticed the quality of posters here in PDD kinda taking a bit of a downturn as of late? Not that they're all bad, mind you, but it kinda seems like some COR kids have discovered a new platform for themselves here.
I dunno. I'll hop off my high horse now. Just a passing thought.
Yeah it has. Just looking at the classic threads you see that the average post was an essay, now we just have short paragraphs or one liners. I rarely post more than a paragraph nowadays, getting lazy in my old age :P
We still have your epic posts though
what we need is another debate on creationism

Occ, I'm trying sending you a PM but your inbox is full .
EDIT: Just fixing a typo. I hate stupid typos. "I'm tried" more like "I'm stoned"

Yeah, the quality of the posts has really downgraded to the COR level. We're too old and lazy to write long posts nowadays and those new kids are generally pretty much just plain dumb.

Nothing seems to deter the perpetuation of stupid posts when logic and latin are brought into the fray .

Yes! We need to clean this place regularly.
I do think I've grown less soft on the new ones lately. Judging from some of your debates, I'd say you've gone on the offensive too.
