The wikipedia argument proves nothing to me. Your own admission that it "sounds like" a racial slur should be enough for the people here to discontinue thier joke.
----
THE JOKE ISN'T INTENTIONALLY RACIST.
----


Just because someone of that ilk ran off to wikipedia doesnt mean that RasTafarI didnt have a definition of pastafari long before it.
----
thats sounding nonsensical.
----


That you claim to be rational but that the term pastafarian similarity to rastafaraian in the context of a religion is a coincidence is laughable. You are not here to help me, but benefit yourself in that when my cause is found just you can say that you were the first to have supported me.

------
you seem determined to have me be the LAST person that supported you.
----


As Ive said before, irregardless of what the person using it thinks, Pastafarian is a facist, violent slander.
----
as i am trying to explain to you, thats not how it was intended and if you take it that way all anybody will do
is look at you and decide you needed a thicker skin and some hobbies.
---


I am fully aware of the legitmacy of my request.
----
are you fully aware that some of th things you are asking for are silly and won't be given to you no matter how much noise you make?
----

The only reaction thats possible is for others to demonstrate how true it is, whether by choosing to listen to reason, or by providing the world with more facist behavior for anylization. By your logic I could start a religion called "fag kill" that worships a g-d that uses human beings to kill homosexuals, ask tribe to list it, and because it was under the guise of religion it should be tolerated.
-----
you know, my logic never made such fantastic loops, and i am feeling pretty done.
----


That I am presently alone in my complaint means absoutely nothing in regards to its validity.
-----
true.
----


The elitism and unwillingness to listen, your promethues, readiness to call me weird or problematic, is the most disturbing thing I have seen in a long time. This has got to be the most vain place online. I asked the pastafarians why their religion is not called pastarian, if it were not a direct assault on the term Rastafarian. No answer was forthcoming. The terms public promtion constitutes slander, of which tribe.net and all those supporting it are complicit.
But beyond that, that tribe.net would rather feel giddy about thier joke than honor the most important religious movement in the world right now, just shows how insulated and out of touch virutally everyone who uses this service is.

you included.

well, ciao.

wild apache, thanks for the warning, it seems you were right.

everybody else;

okay, i was wrong, apparently merciless fun poking is the best solution.

i apologize for sticking my nose in to it. Some people are just delusional and
thers no solving it till their bubble is popped.

eli,
when and if you quit playing the victim and start owning the fact that you are over -reacting and blowing things out of proportion,
let me know.

Okay, how's this, they're both recognized religions in the US. And your efforts to shut down Pastafrianism is, in fact, a violation of the first amendment. Suppression of one religion by another is the very reason this country was formed.

Similarly important, ad-hominum attacks on the internet vary slightly with the advent of Pseudos. People who build accounts but refuse to post any real information have no accountability for their actions. So limited ad-hominums do apply. According to Oxford:
"An ad hominem (Latin: "to the man"), also known as argumentum ad hominem, is an attempt to link the validity of a premise to a characteristic or belief of the person advocating the premise.[1] The ad hominem is a classic logical fallacy.[2] The ad hominem is not always fallacious, for in some instances questions of personal conduct, character, motives, etc., are legitimate and relevant to the issue.[3]"

In your case, the lack of accountability increases the probability that your actions are Troll motivated rather than serious issues.
