	Attention shy lurkers -- words from active Apolyton members. Support Apolyton

Ok, you know who you guys are -- you're lurking about the Apolyton forum such as here, in Off-Topic, without registering, or you are registered but you haven't shown your face around here yet.

Don't let us scare you. When we tear apart another Apolytoner's argument, it's not because we dislike that person, it's just that we hate that person.

And some Apolyton members might be intimidating, but in reality, they're pretty soft:

Chegitz seeks to overthrow the American government, but he does not have one iota of power to do so, and probably never will.

David Floyd might SEEM like a loony libertarian, but really, he can be a nice guy when he wants to.

Oh, and MichaeltheGreat might seem like he knows everything about every topic, but he doesn't -- he just refers to sources of information for the argument. SURPRISE

And as long you do not get me all riled up about the issue over cleaning combs, we should get along just fine.

Asher might seem to appear as a militant Canadian fanatic, but he's a swell guy too.

And same goes for MarkG -- he might . . . . oh never mind -- he really is a Greek fanatic.

And Caligastia's obsession with proving unreal differences between races is true, but he's not a racist.


So why not come join the violent vortex of Apolyton Off-Topic where all the nice guys tear one another's arguments apart, and leave the victim whimpering for mercy.


PS: There is this secret omni-present, being called Ming -- be careful.

Incidentally, Mr. Fun is a moderate liberal. He's also a homosexual. These two things may be hard to get without being told, as he himself is certainly loathe about speaking about them, and they never are an issue.

Also, lurkers, please post, unless you are snarky British teens who think that knee-jerk sarcasm makes you insightful comedy deities.

With the current state of the OT, I'd be satisfied if a handful of the regular posters would actually start lurking.

Lurking is much underappreciated in today's OT. I think we should encourage it. It'd save us all a lot of trouble.

Ok lurkers come out, come out where ever you are.

I vouch that you lazy saps have had plenty of time to quietly window shop which ideology appeals to you the most, from the arguments you have read in Off-Topic.

So pick an ideology, and PARTICIPATE, and stick with it!

	16-10-2002 07:17									#28
	Suffering from ads?

Lurkers,

Despite what Mr. Fun said, you shouldn't pick an ideology. People with ideologies are stupid, dogmatic idiots and I hate them all. Post what you think is the truth about each seperate issue, not what some bullshit ideology tells you to believe. Think outside the box.

Sincerely,

Jon Miller

I'm sort of a lurker. I go through phases where I post in every thread that interests me, and other phases where I just read every thread, but never gather the strength to say anything. I'm most definetely in one of my quiet phases at the moment.
