Likely Dodged a Bullet

Mar 17, 2008 00:49

Looks like I lost a LJ friend today.

Probably just as well, since I was considering all weekend dropping her myself as a potential trouble maker. She was the reason I made that post about my journal's rules and regulations, and the way in which my room mate was recently treated by her and her good buddy Hellenic Evangelist Tim Alexander was simply ( Read more... )

hellenism, drama, lj

I like you too, from what I know of you, but having a handful of mutual friends can't be wrong.

LJ drama is made of fail. And do not want.

And God-spouses scaring people away... LET ME TELL YOU INTERNETS.

Arrogant, egotistical weirdo? Me? Nooooo. ;P I like "elitist meanie fascist poohead" myself. :D

Glad to have you around.

P.S. What is it with the aforementioned Hellenic evangelist? I've... seen him around. CREEEPEH.

He'd fit in just fine in Asatru, srsly. o_O

That is exactly what I thought. The picture of Hellenic religion he paints is very much like what I saw in the mainstream Asatru community that had me running screaming for the hills in a very short amount of time.

I really have no idea what's up this guy's ass. Up until a few weeks ago really I had no idea he even existed. I've never been on his forums and I haven't been in the greater hellenic community much for a year or two. Kind of too bad it couldn't stay that way.

*nods till my head falls off*

Mainstream Asatru is made of much fail, and there are plenty of people who are very much like T.J.A. but actually make him look as friendly as Barney the Dinosaur.

I'm all for history and trying to be accurate and respectful. I'm a bit of a pedant, actually. But I'm also intellectually honest enough to admit we live in the 21st century and Heathenry has far less source material than the Hellenes, and a strict reconstruction of the Nordic faith is damn near impossible. Furthermore just by virtue of living in the 21st century strict recon anything is pretty hard to do. Faith needs to be relevant.

This is one of my pet rants if you couldn't tell. But I empathize because... just... do not want. I hadn't heard of said individual either until more recently by way of sannion and other Hellenic conspirators, I mean, uh, friends. ;P ( ... )

Nope, sorry. In this case, you're either an egotistical charlatan attempting to manipulate and control the Pagan world with your totally made up freaky woo stuff, or you're an idiotic bubblehead that can't tell the difference between a real and meaningful contact with your gods and a gassy meal you just ate.

Yeah, I know I'm being uber snarky about this now. But this whole situation really fucked up my weekend and I want to get a few blows in before I put it out of its misery.

Very glad to have you around. :-)

Manipulate and control the Pagan world? OH SHIT I'VE BEEN FOUND OUT. OH NOES.

;P

I understand btw the issues of Pagan drama. There's plenty of it in Heathenry, whether among non-woo/anti-woo Fundietru *or* sometimes other woo-types. I really can't go there, but I know it sucks major donkey dongs.

*hugs*
