Hello. It's good to be here.

I'm Irish and I don't believe in God - and vice versa.

Your smilies are very blue/purple.

Hey bediddle, welcome to HAF.

Quote from: "Bediddle"Nice to meet you as well. It's strange to play about on another, very similar but eerily different phpbb forum.

What's the other forum you go to?  I'm on a few others and was wondering if maybe we have crossed paths before.  Your name seems familiar but I usually recognize people by their avatars and forget their sn.  I'm Whitney on most of the forums now but am still laetusatheos on some of them.

I was a veteran on Dawkin's forum, and I also dabbled on the offshoots which sprung up when he jettisoned the filthy Off Topic crowd from his place in October.

I'd rather not divulge my username there because I have closed that particular door. I got too sucked in...

Thank you for your welcome - rlrose too.  :beer:

No problem, I have an account there but maybe only posted once or twice if that.  Oh the drama of split off forums; had my fair share of that at WWGHA.

Is WWGHA the name of the forum, or the sound made by members during the split?

I must say, I do love a good forum split. I love drama, and I hate the naysayers who tell everyone to calm down.

WWGHA is www.whywontgodhealamputees.com (http://www.whywontgodhealamputees.com)  It's under new management now and is fine; the old admin is the one who did things which resulted in the splits.

I didn't care much for the drama and just quit posting there till it did calm down.  It was a mess, not only was there a split but a split between those doing the splitting.  In the end, most came back to WWGHA after the new management took over.

Welcome to the forum. So, you are God and you don't believe in the Irish?  :D

LOL! Beautiful explanation. I love it!

I especially love the part where you mention Guinness. To misquote and paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, "Guinness is proof that there is a god and he loves us and wants us to be happy."
