Maybe he'll go from being an obnoxious Russian Orthodox convertitic to being a born-again atheist convertitic, like that guy whose name I disremember. Dang it what was his name?....
...One thing I can say for sure about him is that he has absolutely no idea how to carry on a rational discussion or debate.
It shows what sort of a Christian you are doesn't it mousethief. You are a convert too, aren't you - and now a convert from the OCA to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America of the schismatic Constantinople Patriarchate - whom you bankroll to carry out the US administration's "projects".
You seem to wish for people to leave Christianity and become atheists? Shame on you.
Well that shows the sort of person you really are. A nasty snide condescending and arrogant twerp who tries to make himself "the face of Orthodoxy" on the ship.
And since when have you ever tried to have a proper rational debate with anyone, unless they agree with your liberal views in the first place?
And this just shows what you are: a contemptuous, pompus prick.
Why don't you go somewhere that you can be a convinced of an audience for your bullshit?
Do you have a shed?
I couldn't give a damn what you think.
Brill. Find a couple of people who give a flying fuck what you think.
You're just a creep, in case you missed it the first time.
I am many things, but I try very hard not to be a creep....
No, that's exactly what you are - go slither back into your hole.
I can only conclude that you don't actually know the meaning of words. Are you literate?
Yes thanks - and I know a creep when I find one.
A creep seems to be your definition of someone who doesn't play by your rhetorical rules.
I notice how nobody is defending you.
You are hilarious.
That's isn't it?
Yes, quite extraordinary. But in contrast they are lining up to tell you to fuck off.
I know what "creep" means.
As someone who has had teenage daughters, I also am aware what it means.
And I can assure everyone that I try very hard not to be creepy.
That's it, resort to childishness - it rather proves my point.
What's childish about an insistence that I try very hard not to do things my daughters would describe as creepy?
I mean, by all means be insulting - but at least know what it is that you are saying.
.......What's childish about an insistence that I try very hard not to do things my daughters would describe as creepy?

I didn't say you were creepy in front of your daughters, I said you were creepy HERE.
Really. And what EXACTLY do you mean by that?
EXACTLY what I said.
You really need to read your own posts for comprehension.
You called me a creep. You've at no point defined what you mean by that - because I do not believe the common understanding of the term can be applied to me.
Therefore you are either talking utter bollocks or you are using words in a stupid way.

Yes I did - I pointed you to the dictionary definition, you only had to google it, or are you too stupid to manage that? Let me repeat: "Creep" (noun, informal)

Creep: [countable] (British English, informal) a person who is not sincere but tries to win your ("senior" shipmates) approval by being nice to you (ie. praising their posts when they criticise someone they don't like, and I don't mean in an intellectual fashion).
"He’s the sort of creep who would do that kind of thing!"

"He’s the sort of creep who would do that kind of thing!"
I see. So whose posts have I been insincerely praising?
Who are these "senior shipmates" I'm trying to impress? Apart from quite a small handful of people, I've been here longer than anyone.
And, for the record, I don't post to impress anyone.
"Oh yes, mousethief, I totally agree mousethief, he really is a total wanker isn't he mousethief."
Oh right. Where did I say that - other than in your imagination?
I don't remember ever posting to try to impress Mousethief. Because I know from long experience that is a near impossible task.
You know very well (I hope) that I mean it's the sort of thing you'd post. How you jump straight into Hell posts and agree with everyone. That's creepy.

I see.
So earlier you made some taunt about nobody supporting me. And now you are making some other taunt about agreeing with people.
So which is it?
Actually, don't bother answering that. You've been here five minutes, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Meanwhile, back to you and your behaviour.
Making some claim that other people have to decipher in order to understand what you are on about - which itself makes no sense anyway - is exactly what I'm talking about.
It's the behaviour of a turd. Don't you have something more constructive to be doing?
@Mark Betts
Good lord, your carer should be fired. Not only for letting you on a computer unsupervised, but for clearly not maintaining your oxygen supply. Crack a window and breathe deep before what is left of your tiny mind fails completely.

Don't you? Or do you always have to have the last word. I still think you're a creep and I did define what I meant.

Your definition makes zero sense. You offered no evidence to support it - you couldn't because you've not been here long enough to notice patterns of behaviour.
It's utter piffle. And another part of your pointless behaviour.

And yet you're still here. In any case, all that's required is being cleverer and funnier than you. That's not so much a low bar as it is a trench.

If so that still leaves me with more warmth, depth and value than you. And thanks for proving my point you misogynistic cretin.
1. This call to hell seems justified.
2. The quality of the resulting thread, unfortunately, is not worth the popcorn to blow the ass off a turkey (http://mycountry955.com/try-popcorn-stuffing-this-thanksgiving/), much less mix a pitcher of mousethief coolers.
3. This fault is largely, though not solely, attributable to the paucity of the callee's creativity with insults.
4. Where is Hell's Quality Control team these days? Swilling GIN in the Host's Lounge, no doubt. Tsk.

To be fair, you don't offer much to work with. An angry toddler offers up better than you have.

What rubbish are you saying? You sound offended, but you don't seem to have any qualms about dishing it out do you?
I seem to remember that when Mark Betts was around last time, between 2012 and 2015, there were a series of running Hell threads with his name on. He still has this tendency to answer each and every post, to very little purpose. Keeping him busy in Hell seemed to contain his wiffling in one place, rather than letting it spread across the boards.

What's childish about an insistence that I try very hard not to do things my daughters would describe as creepy?
I mean, by all means be insulting - but at least know what it is that you are saying.
I don't know, what are you?
I didn't say you were creepy in front of your daughters, I said you were creepy HERE.
Really. And what EXACTLY do you mean by that?
I'm a shipmate who just gave an instance of authentic childishness for people on this thread to ponder.
EXACTLY what I said.
Not you, for starters. And that's sufficient for anyone to give thanks daily.
You really need to read your own posts for comprehension.

It is not an attempt to impress; it's showing an unusual camaraderie.
It might be if I'd actually said it. I don't think I did.

Buy. some. then

Do you ever listen yourself, Mark?
If you did you'd realise:
1) Why we're not all rushing to convert to Russian Orthodoxy.
2) Why people like me who are actually very well disposed towards Orthodoxy are having second thoughts.
3) Why we think you are an arsehole.
If you want us to:
1) Love and admire the Russian Orthodox tradition.
2) Retain a more positive view of Orthodoxy as a whole.
3) Stop thinking you are an arsehole, then:
1) Stop acting like an arsehole.
2) Stop sounding like an arsehole.
3) Fucking shut up.

Maybe we've all been really bad and as a result Santa has left us a Mark Betts for Christmas.
Don't you? Or do you always have to have the last word. I still think you're a creep and I did define what I meant.
And that's based entirely on your behaviour on this thread, never mind what gave rise to it.
I'm just tired of this crap, you're not that clever nor funny.
Your definition makes zero sense. You offered no evidence to support it - you couldn't because you've not been here long enough to notice patterns of behaviour.

Good, leave then.
There's the door, piss off.
Same to you. Have a nice evening.

When I get to my computer, I'm going to check Bettsy's not posting out of a basement in St Petersburg. Because that would explain a lot.
What rubbish are you saying? You sound offended, but you don't seem to have any qualms about dishing it out do you?
I don't remember him from last time. Initially I thought, 'Aha! Another Orthodox poster. This might be interesting ...'
I soon realised my mistake.
Very soothing.

Seriously, I can't imagine many newcomers stick around very long once they find out what you guys are like.
You know very well what I mean.
There are two obvious ways out of this situation. The first of which is stop being a dick.
