The 'Cult of Hate' comes to Raleigh.
2 min read
This Saturday, The Westboro Baptist Church comes to Raleigh to protest at Elizabeth Edwards funeral. The Phelps and their band of idiots, will be here to causing pain and suffering to Mike Edwards and his family, because THEY believe she deserved it.
An excerpt from a Fox News article had this to say:
"The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church believes that the misfortunes of the U.S. are due to God's wrath for failing to follow a doctrine that condemns gays, Catholics, Jews and others, according to The Wall Street Journal."

It burns me up that they can come up to my state or for that matter, any state. Go to any funeral of people that they don't know and just preach their hate. What? Topeka was to bleeping small for you?! However there is a group of people who is banding together to block them from view of the grieving family. A human buffer so to speak. The government can't do anything to stop them because their message of hate is protected speech. The most the government can do is tell them that they have to stay at least 500 feet back. These people as of late have been fighting back. Flocking to the event early, and stealing all available parking spaces so they have a hard time parking, and then creating a human shield, and kept them from being seen from the funeral itself. The last funeral was at a small town, I can't remember the exact details. They brought large signs and banners that hid theirs, and their chants drowned out the hate filled chants of the Phelps, and they eventually gave up and left.
This Saturday, that group will arrive early to do the same thing, and I will be there to help. I want these people to shut the $#%^$ up and go away!
Rant over, and back to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.

My friend Chili19 recently had a bad experience in rpdream. She was belittled because she didn't post in paragraphs, or paragraph posting as I have come to call it. You can find out more about her own rant here -> chili19.deviantart.com/journal…
Meanwhile, this is my own rant. I don't normally rant in a journal post as I either don't have enough to rant about and what I do have to rant about I normally rant to others. You know, in real life. To actual people. Anyhow, when I reaD chili19's journal I remembered my own run in with these types of people. Now I'm not shunning everyone who paragraph posts, but those who uses their ability to hold it over the heads of people who either don't or can't post those legnths.
Back in 2006 or 2007 I had a friend I chatted with on occasion. We didn't chat much and and he was a member of a elite rp room. I had figured I could do a better job if it was something I had to do. So, I had this friend of mine talk to the people in the room to get me a chance. Well, the chance came and I gave it my best, and hoped that they would offer guidance and point me in the right direction. It goes to show how naive I was back then. One of the people posted and I didn't understand it. I was going to do the right thing and not ask the poster. I thought she might find the question offensive. I asked my friend instead and he went and told her. So, she played the part of a drama queen and banned me from the room. I was unbanned and I don't remember very well what happened, but I was banned again and the owner noted me. The note will be posted, but I will censor the names.
Original Note:
Dear Cecil,
It has come to my attention that you have been banned and un-banned from [RPCult] by an associate of mine, [RPCult associate #1]. The reason? Because you commented negatively on a post that was one of her largest, and most magnificent. If I remember correctly, you are the same man—no, child—of whom posted to me, begging me to allow you into my [RPCult]. You said that you were not a “one-liner” in bad grammar, and in improper punctuation. You asked me to give you a chance. You then proceeded to ask me to send you a note thereby letting you know of my and my friends’ decision. After reviewing your case, I have come to a decision: Hell no. It gives me the greatest distaste in knowing that you had to sic your girlfriend on [RPCult Associate #1], and hereby pissing her off. This is a warning: Leave her alone. And tell your girlfriend to leave her alone as well. I’ve never met a real man in my life that has had to sic his girlfriend on his aggressor. If I hear that you have been bothering me, [RPCult associate #1], or [RPCult associate #2] again, I will be forced to take action by contacting the administrators of dA. Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope that we can maintain at least a civil relationship in the future.
Sincerely, [Boss, RPCult]

Wow, If I didn't know any better I would have thought they were talking to a stalker. She hopes that 'We can maintain a civil relationship in the future' while slinging insults left and right. Then again, I don't know what exactly [RPCult Associates 1 and 2] told the owner of [RPCult]. Maybe they told more that what actually happened. Not long before I got this letter, someone emailed me and told me of the ill spoke of me in [RPCult] after I had been banned. They made jokes about my weight. It was a transcript. I didn't bring up this fact in my reply to [RPCult Boss]. However, as I had stated, she had stooped to name calling and issuing unnecessary threats. She also said that IK 'sicced' my girlfriend on her, which was not true. I told her about it and she acted without my knowing. I did not tell her to go on the warpath. We did talk about it later. In my reply I was scared that [RPCult Boss] was going to tell the admins and they would believe her, because of the 'status' that she held within the rp community. My original reply will be censored as well.
Original reply:
Hello. I didn't sic her on anyone. I will not bother them or you again. So heres the deal. I will not aproach your friends again. They are using their status within DA to walk all over me. You and [RPCult Associate #1], and [RPCult Associate #2] will not hear from me again or [Girlfriend]. I have gotten on her for contacting [RPCult Associate #1]. Just call off your attack dogs off, please . You three win. Thank you for reading. - Cecil475

As I had before, I was scared. I was a lot of things back then. I sent that note and It was over. I am happy doing my own style of rp along with my own circle of friends who don't judge someone on the way someone rps. I read chili19's rant and I went back to that time and looked over these old notes that I have saved to my computer. I realize how I would have replied. Before I post it, I would like to state that I do not intend to stir up bad blood, over something that happened about three or four years old. It is one of the reasons that I have censored the names of the people involved, as well as the real name of the rp room. Please note: This note was not sent.
Dear Ma'am,
Thank you for your letter. Associates? My case? If I had known better, I thought I was getting a reponse from a goverment case worker, instead of an inquiry for access to a rp room. It's funny that you refer to your friend an an 'associate' I wasn't aware that this rp room was a buisness. Now to the topic at hand. When I was banned from your room a friend of mine (read: friend, not associate) noted me about the harassment I had been given that reguards to my weight, which is funny since none of your -ahem- associates have never seen me in real life, and above which have nothing to do with my rp skills, or lack thereof. I'm sorry that her ego was bruised because I couldn't understand what your friend/associate wrote in her 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' sized post. I thought we were rping, not writing a book. I can do that well on my on with out you and your 'associates' help, or criticism. Second, I did not 'sic' my girlfriend on you. I told her about it and she reacted like a friend (not associate) would do when assualted by others. We talked and she knows better, as do I.
As far as your 'letter' goes, I have not done any thing to you to deserve this hostility. I have not stalked you, or any of your 'associates'. You call me a child, yet you act like one yourself. I do however thank you and your 'associates' for letting me rp with you. It was a true eye opening experience. You seem to judge others solely on how they rp.
You know what, I don't want to join your 'cult' anymore. You couldn't beg, or pay me to join. I will enjoy rping with people who rp for fun, and not to see how many words or paragraphs that they they can stuff into just one post. I will leave you and your cult (sorry, office, you mentioned assiciates) alone. You will do your best and leave me alone or I will scream 'harassment'.
Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope that we can maintain at least a civil relationship in the future. :3
Sincerly,
Cecil475

And that is how I would have put it. But was this necessary? All the threats, the name calling? Over a stupid rp? When does the fun stop and the obsession begin. Does a rp post have to be the size of a 'War and Peace' novel? Does it have to be nine paragraphs long? Do people have to judge others on how they rp? I don't know why I wanted to join them in the first place. But I have become smart in such matters as I rp in my own room, or my friend's room with people I know, or others that they have introduced to me personally.
Oh well, #%it happens. Time to move on.

Version 7...
1 min read
Since the update to Version 7 I've noticed there are three types of people on DeviantArt.
1. There are people who like Version 7.
2. There are people who hate Version 7.
3. There are people who think that the people who hate Version 7 are pathetic cry babies who are wasting their time whining, but will gladly waste their own time making long winded animated stamps about them.
Such hypocrisy makes me laugh.
Now I can just see someone at Microsoft's customer support center talking to someone about the joys of Windows.
"So, Vista keeps crashing, huh? Big, deal! Get over yourself crybaby! Don't waste your time on this! Meanwhile I'm going to waste MY time making an long winded animated stamp about people like you! Have a nice day."
