Yeah, when it comes to "official reckoning" and trying to make it so just by saying it's so, I'm always reminded of Canute and the tides.
Let's just sing kumbaya and group hug, shall we? It's all OK. Every point of view is valid. It's all alright, it's all OK, run in the light, chilluns.

Come on now, no one expects that.
"There can be no peace!" remember?
I just don't think I can bring myself to hate anyone over their reading preferences is all. I get pissed in the context of the topic, sure, but I leave it there. I certainly wouldn't get shitty with any of you if we met at a Dune Convention based on literary opinions.

I save my true ridicule for those that prefer the Dune prequels over the original Frank Herbert books.

Yeah, I agree there. Frank's books are the base, there is no Duniverse without them.

There is no Duniverse besides them.

go try to log in anyway. When I was bubba, I never got an e-mail either, but I was activated.
And if you still cant get on, send me a PM. I have three or four identities lying around that have never been used. You can have one.

Someone (I forget who...obviously someone forgettable) said they'd seen you hanging around over there after your banning.

I think that was Sloey...he became paranoid and saw Omph everywhere after he learned he was Bubba...

Oh...i thought you meant
someone else other than IT!
Cause she's always paranoid about Omph...

No, she's
crazy about Omph.
She
wants him.
Which is great, actually, because it means she's finally stopped sending me cybersex proposals.
Oh, crap! I think I forgot to mention this with all my computer problems a week or two ago:
Someone in her home town who hates her even more than we do sent me some pix of her! I'm just waiting for the proper occasion to post them!

Wouldn't that be a Contradictio in terminis?

Nah.
Turns out she's even more "fun" to know in real life.

I am glad I will never find out whether that is true or not.

I'm thinking a Canadian side trip may be called for on one of my trips home one of these days. Get in a little shooting practice.
With my
camera.

That thought had crossed my mind before, but now I'm convinced of it. I registered as "Golan" and the account wasn't deleted, unlike the late Anathema I and II.

You might not get a pass if you've chosen the handle of Secher_Nbiw... due to it being too similar to mine... I know a couple of boards that don't allow nicknames to be too similar...

I didnt think i needed to make a topic for this so here i post it.
Yes i went to DN and posted this topic:
"Freakzilla, the man that understands Dune"
"Freakzilla's password has been changed in what i can only call a childish act; either ban him or admit him Byron, be a man.
Freak as always been a nice guy and his only crimes were to express his opinions. He has always helped me out whenever i had doubts about the plot in the books and he's a person with a good sence of humor.
Thruth is that without him, this forum is empty of worth and interest.
Yes i am a friend of Freakzilla as well as Omphalos, SandChigger and Lisan Al-Gaib; people that stood up to this den of censorship and marketing scams.
Here's to you my friends. Adios."
So that's it folks, i'm officially out of that place.

I've really been touched by all the support y'all have shown for me. I really appreciate it and I'm fortunate to know you all.
