Thanks to DMB for the invite. As a member of the second wave (or third or fourth or whatever) and as one who does more lurking than posting, I thought it would be proper to introduce myself.

Anyone who might know me knows me as Apostasius from IIDB, RnR, and TR. I thought I would change things up a bit with the username as I feel my status as an apostate has evolved into something where that self-identification seems less meaningful to me. In other words, my religious artifacts are little more than fossilized remains of a previous incarnation.

So...uh. Yeah. That's it, really.

Thank goodness you introduced yourself!!

For a while, I thought you were John A. Davidson (http://prescribedevolution.blogspot.com/), a true wingnut in the evolution wars.

A big welcome, JAD! I hope you like it here. :wave:

Ack! I hope my new username doesn't evoke that association too often.

I think so. From the threads I've read so far, this place seems like TR with less drama and fewer insults. But then again, I've only read a dozen or so threads so far. ;)

Hi : )

That's a good description except that we have authoritarian mean cruel admins who take no shit and we love them for it.

[Jobar]

Yep, we're frankly tyrants. Iron fist, no velvet glove, banhammer at the ready, etc. etc.

But we do make the trains run on time. ;)

Welcome, JAD. As you might be able to tell from my user title, we have a distinct approach to maintaining order. :D

Welcome, JAD. :D

Ack! I hope my new username doesn't evoke that association too often.I gotta tell ya: that was my first reaction too!

I'm relieved to learn otherwise. Welcome!

I changed my user title to "Not John A. Davidson". I hope that will help.

Those are my initials, dammit. Davidson can get bent.

What's worse is that my first name IS John. My initials have been sullied.

I am glad you clarified that. Because that could have cast a dark shadow on the admission policies of this board.
