I’m more kind of posting to maintain my championship position for “Most Insipid IGS Commentator”, than to goad anyone into doing anything.
I don’t think that’s true. I looked into Arrendis’ posting history before blocking her, and I think you knew exactly what you were doing when you tagged her. The first and last time I bothered engaging with Arrendis, the quality of discussion dropped considerably (I am also regrettably responsible for this). My solution was to simply block her, as their MO seems to be to try to derail narratives with which they disagree by infusing pedantry with ad-hominem attacks. You need only to search for the word “idiot” in this thread to verify this. Don’t misunderstand, this isn’t a whine. I don’t recall “be super polite” to be among the rules for this forum. On the other hand, this doesn’t seem to be someone you ping if you genuinely want to enrich a conversation.

Well, the thing is, that Arrendis usually really dislikes having to agree with a point that I make.
“damnit Val” and “stop making me agree with Valerie” and so on.
It bothers her, and amuses me.

Ah, I see. This changes my perspective a bit then. Glad I’m not the only one that has experienced this difficulty 
No, not this time.
Curses ! Foiled again !
Sir, respectfully, I think you mean “ad hominem,” an Amarrish phrase meaning “to the person” (instead of, like, “to the argument”).
A homonym is a word with identical spelling or pronunciation to another, but totally different meaning, like “rose” (“he rose from his seat to walk in the rose garden”), “knight” and “night,” or “to,” “too,” and “two.”

Yes, that is what I meant. Thanks for this.

You’ve dropped this idea in four different threads just now. I know that particular activity is not a new fixation for you, but what’s with the sudden intensity of your obsession with it?
I get paid a commission of 1 goat for every cubic metre of safety mud sold as a result of my promotional efforts. Use code “ValVal” at the checkout to receive 5% off the cost of your order.
I’m almost definitely going to regret asking this, but what is “safety mud”? Is it like mud that’s oxygenated to the point where people can’t easily drown in it or something? (That seems like a fire hazard though…)
Kaztropolitan certified non-toxic safety sports mud, is sold in dehydrated form, to be mixed on site with water, to form a dimensionally stable sporting mud, with neutral pH to avoid any danger of chemical burns to the users of the mud. It contains no biologically active material, and is not metabolised if accidentally ingested.
Ah. Surprisingly prosaic and practical yet somehow off-putting and weird.
So, directly on-brand. Well done?

If I were to choose this venue and material to settle a score - for how long can you guarantee that the mud will remain non-toxic? Given my apparent composition, and the fact that nature abhors a vacuum, I’m curious as to how long it would take for me to corrupt said mud relative to someone like Arrendis
I don’t hate the imagery you invoke.
But I’ve come a long way towards being put back together and am already far more sturdy than I ever was before. The remaining rough edges are a feature, not a bug. You are however completely correct in that they are indeed hazardous to those of the Amarr Faith.

The anniversary was that of joining EM.
Are such anniversaries not noticed in other organizations? Here, throwing a party is maybe not the norm for everyone, but it happens, and we do tend to comment on anniversaries and congratulate. As obviously in Arsia’s case joining us is a fairly bigger change than for most of us, I felt it natural she wanted to recognize it.

Ah.
Just another example then of how it is just fine to post as much as you like about God in whose name all must be Reclaimed, but spirits forbid that someone’d openly object, that would be rude.

She routinely did this before making her apostasy public; her party was not framed convincingly as objection, rather a loud and unsophisticated heresy.
Your beliefs were nearby I surmise, and nature does abhor a vacuum.

Objection to God’s right of conquest is by definition heresy. I don’t see what your point is?
