msbelle, you're just talking crazy. Jesus made it very clear what we should do, and it was definitely NOT kindness and love for everyone. Oh, wait...
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.
'Safe'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
or they could go positive:
Or taunty:
"I'm More Christian Than You And I Don't Even Go To Church, Neener Neener"
"For A Guy Who Believes He Evolved From Monkeys, I Seem To Follow Jesus' Lessons Better Than Some People I Could Mention, But Won't Because I'm So Much Nicer."

I want those! Especially if I ever go to a town hall.

msbelle is one of the nice people. I should be more like her.
As the Reasons can attest, the nice-guy lessons bounce right off my bitterness-skin. Jilli sometimes despairs - the whole point of her book is "be nice", and it's mostly-lost on me.

Not true! I am a big proponent of making the distinction between nice and polite -- they are not the same thing at all.

"Polite" is the behavior that makes assholes act in a socially acceptable manner. Which, you know, we need to do.
I can't define "nice". Not enough experience.
Edited for clarity of statement.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
msbelle....nice
I am, in fact, the nicest. I haven't pointed that out recently, it should be noted.

You're so nice
You're not good
You're not bad
You're just...nice
I'm not good
I'm not nice
I'm just right
I'm the Witch
You're the world!
ETA: That's for Miracleman, not msbelle!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm the Witch / You're all liars and thieves / like his father! / Like his son will be too / Oh, why bother?

I'm not that nice. People usually find out when they mistake courtesy, for, like, being a punk, and a doormat, and going along no matter what. It usually surprises the hell out of them, too.
