someone remind me

[substitute]

Next time I'm going to go investigate some new online group of people, because they look interesting, and someone I know who is cool is involved, someone STOP me.

Because it's the same every time. They're paranoid little cliquish shits who exist only to have a little chunk of bozospace they keep others from enjoying.

I went through that on Efnet 5 years ago; never again.

Also, make sure I never move to Northern California.

Guh.

politics, scandal, the usual. it's actually not that dramatic, the church just dissolved the group as an 'official entity' when the person they had running it left. we had a particular vision for how to do things and it didn't fit well. instead of being absorbed back into the collective we just kind of kept going. six months later we were a kind of independent entity doing our own teaching ("Why Christianity Sucks: A Guided Tour of Church Atrocities Starting With the Career of Bob Dylan!" and "Paradoxes: Our Fine Friends!" are two favorites).

eventually we found a church that seems to click with our vision of how to do things, is happy to let us explore the organizational model we're passionate about, and doesn't wig out when we start teaching about the conquistadors and the applicability of zen koans to christian bible study.

anyhow. sorry, i'm bragging. i'm proud of us though. ;)
