Once upon a time, there was a 50 post newbie requirement.

It's a distant memory now, but I like to bring it up from time to time (because I was one of the people who had to tough it out).
Never forget, I say. Never forget.

Guardian, apologies for mistaking your "85" as being age-related.  Am I to assume there are 84 preceeding 'Guardians'?

There were 84 preceding Guardians before me, but they were not ex-military snipers and ninjas.  ;D

Welcome to our forum!

My one year anniversary at HAF is coming up. I figure that's an appropriate time to finally let it go. :P

Hello, DeterminedJuliet, and thank you too for aiding me in my escape (6 mo to go). 

Well, if you're determined Juliet, then I won't try to disuade you; but, ask yourself, 'have you fairly considered all other options?'   ;)

Or, is it that you find yourself predetermined to be a 'determinist' (hard or soft variety?)?  If so, me too (hard).  If not, then you've only been determined to be deluded into advocating 'free-will.'  Me too (deluded, that is--not free-willish though).

"50"!!!  :o
I'd have never made it.  I'm impressed. Happy anniversary!

Thanks Budhorse4, (Is it about the beer, or do you have oversized feet?)

Hey G85, I too am "exmilitary."  Proud of the "ex," still trying to forget the "military."

If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."

haha, I'm afraid my name isn't anything that well thought out. I took a silly girlie online quiz when I was 13 and it told me I was a "DeterminedJuliet" . It just kinda stuck as my persona. Determinism isn't something I think much of in my day-to-day life, but it sounds like it'd be an interesting topic once you're able to discuss it in the philosophy forum. :)

The next time I learn a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I do know it was my option to learn, but I actually thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you would fix if you happen to werent too busy looking for attention.

Huh?
Hit-and-run troll? ???
