Welcome to The Pub At the End of the Universe.

[Heather2017]

Hi all. Stopping by for a cuppa since it's morning here.

My vote for best song with snippets of Obi wisdom (best enjoyed with headphones, especially the part between 6:30 and 7:30):

Let the hijinks resume.

[Rogerc]

Antimysogynist old fart jousts with Antimysandrynist intelligent woman.

Careful Songsoftheotherkind this is bordering on a personal attack.

AND Antimysogynist I am not - I have been married to the same gorgeous woman for 45 years and I have four daughters whom I love dearly.

Being called an old fart does not worry me in the least, such comments I find puerile and childish

So, no, you fail to threaten me in any way whatsoever

As in all threads feel free to disregard me - not a problem

I reiterate - love and PEACE

Loosen up Songsy,

*swirling triple light sabREs wildly*
Starting a thread unfortunately does not include moderating a thread, controlling a thread nor setting it's direction.
You have had a thought and thrown it to the wind to go where it will.
You're very choice of Pub indicates that's what it is, a forum for free speech and understanding not a personal 'sui generis'
Take the time to lean on the bar a little more.
The whispered reference to 'fluffy' was just that, 'fluffy'
love and peace rogerc

*leans in peacefully, eyes glowing black*

Rogerc, until you have more of an understanding and comprehension of who I am, where I've come from and what I've been through to get here, I'll be asking you politely, just the once, to never, ever tell me to loosen up. Should you wish to behave like you know me when you actually really don't, I won't be inspired to engage with you in any kind of lightsaber engagements at all- I save those kinds of encounters for my lovers, the ones that I actually enjoy engaging with- I'll just ignore you. Utterly. So you can decide, it's entirely up to you: either pull your head in a bit with the idiot assumptions, including those about me with regards this establishment, and be bothered to actually get to know me and the other patrons here- have you actually noticed the dynamic around here in any way at all?- , or don't, and reap your own sui generis.

I am not butterflies and rainbows. If you find that too challenging, so be it. *shrugs* In here I'm surrounded by awesome males who hold their sui generis in really interesting and delicious ways, there's bound to be a few not so interesting come along.

[Borden]

The eyes have it.

But don't let her make you feel I'm disinclined towards anybody. Otherkind who quote me without permission may encounter Sith eyes, which are no joke, let me tell you. My mirror's terrified of me.

Roger, you are a crusty old so and so, and I like that. You're also a helicopter pilot apparently, which is pretty flash. Wanting to see me in tights is something I will have to figure out how to deal with ... but this Sue Generis woman Songsy keeps banging on about tells me I should let you get on with it. Fairy nuff.

We don't leave our sabres at the door here, because that's virus nonsense - it assumes we can't keep our sh1t together in a civilized environment ... of course we can! I'm fascinated to see how you and Songsy interact ... bearing in mind I am not Australian, and don't understand the male/female dynamic in that part of the world. I am sitting on a bar stool grinning, and chucking my de-activated sabre from hand to hand in a childlike, playful fashion. That faint bubbling glimmer you see is the Sith appreciation for anything that might kick off. I'm fascinated by that Sue broad ... but I don't date her. Not yet anyway.

Oh, and if I attempted to defend Songsy (pah, not in a Sith's nature) ... she would turn those eyes on me before you.

Barkeep! What's the hold-up? Things are getting good!

No, rogerc, it's not personal attack at all, it's boundary. You want to make suggestions regarding 'she who must be obeyed' and that I'm trying to modulate the thread in such a way as to impinge on the sui generis of others, then I will speak from the integrity of my sui generis Self, which I value above everything else. I've said before, if anyone wants to legitimately call me on any of my crap I will take it on and kick my own arse- impune sh!te to me and I'll definitely hand it back, without social nicety.

I love my Clan here. It's an intensely personal undertaking that goes on here. Don't let 'Pub' fool you- here in Australia I never go into them, they're full of virus.

[Rogerc]

This is so thick and fast I hardly have time to edit before another hits me in the back.

Your judgement of what is legitimate crap means that you are the only persona to judge whether you need a reprimand - ergo sum without blame

I apologise for "she who must be obeyed" as you did not see it as lighthearted. It comes From a brilliantly humorous UK TV show

I do however stand by my comments re the thread

I'm running out of PEACE's

Hey Borden seeing you in tights is really not my go. Is everyone devoid of humour here.

Re Pubs I spent two and a half years flying out of Aberdeen and the pubs are definitely not viral (apart from the public bars - Gi us a pint o' heavy Jemmy)

[Borden]

Right, I'm going to put my hand on the top of both of your heads and let you swing. The first one to hit me in the balls will learn what Sui bloody Generis is really all about.

(no sense of humour? The tights thing was me being funny! Goddammit, man! I know you're Australian, but it hasn't been long enough to breed subtlety out of your genes!)

[REILLY]

We should each of us, if we truly wish to avoid moderation, attempt to do a few things, those being keeping the banter as friendly as possible, and also to limit somewhat our use of the f-bomb (of which I am guilty as well). I've got the vague, psychic impression that these are the things that will land the Pub into the Off Topic forum, or worse, get the thread shut down entirely. These things are addressed in the guidelines we all agreed to when we signed to, and we may be pushing the limits of our forum staff. I've had a very fun, very rich experience in this thread and this message comes from a sincere desire to see it continue, preferably within the General Discussion forum. We haven't been moderated upon that I'm aware of, and we should all endeavor to keep it that way. All my own opinion, of course.

Not interested in any way at all in threat or any other virus laden rubbish. If you feel that my setting my boundaries was me attempting to threaten you, so be it. I am comfortable enough within my Self to get that I'm not going to get along with every individual who comes into the Pub- it's one of the reasons I created this place the way I have, with inbuilt flexibility for others to make of it what they will.

As in all threads feel free to disregard me - not a problem

*bows head, grinning slightly*

Let's just take it as a given, then, that we're different creatures. I have no problem with that at all: if this Pub is big enough for a nine foot gargoyle incubus, it's big enough for anyone.

These things are addressed in the guidelines we all agreed to when we signed to, and we may be pughing the limits of our forum staff.

I get this absolutely, which is why I have recognised that sometimes Sui Generis means 'agree to be different and leave it at that'. I freely admit that there are some things that just irritate the beejums out of me and apparently I need to figure out how to deal with that privately rather than openly, because it seems to be perceived as war when it's actually me figuring out how to be real, be my Self, keep my boundaries and not experience be treated like I'm a bourke by someone who doesn't actually know me.

I have mixed feelings about this. I actually wanted the Pub to be somewhere it would be possible to have at it without uncomfortability, where such things could be expressed and worked through in an Otherkind. I just experienced the distinct feeling that I actually *can't* do that, that I have to be human about it, because the mods might have a problem with it and we get into some kind of highschoolish trouble. I'm not saying you are suggesting this, I really do appreciate your points and it simply makes me wonder if eventually the Pub will need to find another universe- I want to be able to have at it without having to censor my Self and my exploration; I am not interested in the human level way of doing things, I want to be able to be raw, snotty, grotty, disheveled and blood soaked within my own Clan and still be known and accepted for my Self, even while I'm being gently asked would I like to have a bath?

So mmm. Thinking about this now.

Thanks - I'm sure there's enough tolerance and love to go around - and you're absolutely right I am an old fart.

Oh and Borden I love the Crusty old so and so !!!
