You know, handful of people had fun for an hour or so playing a game/having a conversation. Sometimes that happens.
Trudy, we're discussing it over in Bureaucracy now.
I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Spike's Bitches 23: We've mastered the power of positive giving up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trudy, i think there's a difference between a conversation I'm not interested in (which I scroll by every day) and sockpuppet posts. I think tolerating sockpuppeting opens the door for further posting by personas, which can get harmful quite fast. Aside from that, I think it is obnoxious and borderline cruel no matter who does it and for what reason, and I'm sorry you find it a nice way to pass a Wednesday afternoon.
Isn't Sang Sacre a whole thread for roleplaying? I'm not being snarky.
(And why the hell is it so hard to walk away from an online fight? I'm sorry, everyone in the thread who isn't Trudy. Continue discussing the nephilim.)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

How do you see it as cruel? This is an honest question, not trying to be snarky in any way.

My answer is in Bureau.

patiently waiting for Jilli to chime in on Fields of the Nephilim...
I was in a meeting! Totally not my fault.
Anyway, I've read so many fantasy and/or horror novels that feature something called the Nephilim that I can't keep straight what is stuff from the bible, what is from non-fiction research books, and what was completely made up by Storm Constantine and others like her.

Trust my rage
I've not been here for a Nephilim discussion before, but I think it's cool that it comes up enough around here to be a repeating conversation.
I've been absent all afternoon because I've been putting together the very cute baby dresser that arrived this afternoon. So far, I have the drawers 80% put together, but the dogs have waited patiently for me to walk them before dark, so I will go.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
juliana, could I tag this:
Lyra, tag away, sweetie.
Had never heard of the Nephilim before today....

Trust my rage
There's a Madeleine L'Engle book that involves Nephilim. I really enjoyed it when I read it many years ago. Beyond that, for all my years of church and Sunday School attending, I've never discussed the nephilim before today.

I think an X-Files episode involved Niphilim, too. Another of those Scully as Defender of the Faith eps.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
