I'm really only here because CP just amazes me.

I had a dalliance with a British religious group of the evangelical happy clappy geetar roxin for Jeebus variety, and they were reasonably fundamentalist. Therefore I feel I know the mindset and the zeal with which the CPers engage with the subjects they deal with.

These days I'm still in the sort of wobbly agnostic zone, so I'm not unsympathetic to them, but I tend to subscribe to the Mothersbaugh credo of godmademanandheusedamonkeytodoitism.

Their theism bothers me less than their methods and tactics.

My biggest question - especially after reading BR's blockades - is why the hell would anyone want to join CP? Who in their right mind would want to be part of that group of people?

What do you need to be missing in your life to find yourself wishing to be in with that particular crowd? They're just - for the most part with few exceptions such as Tim & PJR (there's others but I'm on a train so my researching skills are limited) - incredibly horrid people. Smug, self satisfied, bullying, vicious mobocracy.

And isn't the use of the "last word" rule an infraction of itself?

My 75 year old mother, a devout Christian herself asked me "what's wrong with these people?" after I introduced her to the dual delights of CP and FSTDT.

Bugler
Vicious satire in a class of its own. Peter Cook, Christopher Morris, and now Bugler. It's worthy of a Brasseye all of its own.

I am disappointed to find that Bugler wasn't real. I wanted him to be real, because as a fellow Brit I wanted to buy Bugler a beer.
