THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!
Bring him back. This place has a tendency to become more and more homogeneous rather than diverse. He's always got something entertaining to say. If his powers are removed, than that's a good enough penalty in my book.
Funny enough, on "trolling", if you open any video with a conservative spin, you'll find a great many "normal" sifters become instant trolls...
Example (with a healthy bit of exageration):
Obama speech comments:
"I hate this guy"
"What a liar"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about!"
Sift response: "Get out troll!"
O'Reily monologue comments:
"I hate this guy"
"What a liar"
"He doesn't know what he's talking about!"
Sift response: "AMEN BROTHER!"
I used to be annoyed by this, but now I just think its hilarious.
that was perfect.

I apologize personally if I upset you with my re-tagging of your post. I meant nothing mean in my manner. I merely was concerned that the post was inappropriately labeled in a way that would discourage discussion and dissension. I like to see discussion and people who are viewed merely as comedic outcasts from the get-go will not offer their dissenting opinions. I mean no offense. I only mean to be accurate and to encourage discussion.
Please forgive me if you have been angered by this action.
i still do not expect that vid to be sifted,but i have posted a few things of late that come from a more esoteric point of view.
i am not trying to promote them as my own,but i find differing views fascinating.i notice a tendency for atheism on the sift,and in my opinion,that can be just as staunch in its inability to budge as religious fundamentalism.as you stated,what do we KNOW about the soul?...nothing.
i am not an atheist,and would never be so arrogant to state i KNOW anything concerning such matters.i may be opinionated,but i am not rigid in my conceptual beliefs,how can i?there is so much we dont know.
thanks again DOC,i appreciate your input.
till next time.
namaste.

First of all, those self-images are NOT his "false self." They are defining characteristics, ethics, and values that found his beliefs. They are not trivial and they are not simply things that "worry" him.
