The historic and original "Welcome new posters! Introduce yourselves here!" thread

[Houzenstein]

I haven't been in a forum setting in quite awhile. The last one was actually a requirement for a Philosophy class I was taking. It turned out to be very interesting, so I figured I'd give this place a shot. See y'all around! :)

[Simone]

I gotta admit, this sure beats the hell out of going back to school!
I believe I am learning more here than any class I had.
But then again, I was bored with school.
To actually be involved in intelligent conversations , is stimulating.
In my cartoon life.... I am surrounded by so many unintelligent people!

Some posters tend to habitate one or two individual sub forums. There are some regulars in each sub forum, but people post wherever they care too.

I'm a bit different in that I'm expected to be omnipresent. :)

Thanks grayman and Mr. Skinny. (BTW, hope you are not expected to be omnipotent, omniscient and compassionate too).

My thanks, Skinny, as well. Hokulele, I read that thread in the humor section and got some real chuckles. Yous (sic) people are quite hilarious!

[AudioFreak]

Well hello everyone. I'm AudioFreak (a.k.a. Russ). I live in AZ not too far away from my father, Tanstaafl, who is responsible for bringing me to the JREF.

I'm a musician and an audio engineer at heart and you can find my web page, myspace, and all that by just running a google search for "Tarktones". I'm 22, I've been playing guitar since I was 10 and from the moment I picked it up I knew there was nothing else for me. Of course it doesn't pay the bills so I take jobs that pay decently in customer service or collections. Working in call centers is not a life-goal, but it allows me to funnel energy into my band which actually has a lot of potential.

I grew up pretty non-religious although during high school I got very deep into Catholicism. As I neared my "confirmation" I began realizing that while I loved many of the people and messages that I was surrounding myself with, I was not getting any actual answers to the questions I was asking. I became aware that what I felt as the presence of God was merely me deluding myself into wishful thinking. I decided that in order to state what I DO believe, I needed to gain an understanding of what I didn't believe. I studied many religions and ultimately found myself discounting them all for the same reasons; though I found much beauty their messages and poetry, I hardly considered them rule books for modern living.

And thus, I am the skeptic I am today. I'm not sure my mom has ever really picked up on the fact that I don't ride the Jesus bandwagon anymore, but I feel no need to make a big deal of it. I bow my head at grace and that's that.

With that being said, if you've ever got any music or audio-related questions, feel free to PM me. I have numerous pro-audio certifications so if you've got questions, fire away.

[Mr. Skinny]

Welcome, AudioFreak.

If your dad is Tanstaafl, then I think you've said a lot.

Is your sense of humor anything like his?

Do you get along with him?

Has he discussed his feelings regarding ovine farm animals?

Do you believe TANSTAAFL?


Thanks,

Skinny



P.S. These are in no way intended to be leading questions that could be used against your dad later. I just quite honestly wanted to know what you thought.

[AudioFreak]

Hahaha. My dad and I get along quite well. Growing up I was much more at odds with him than I am now. Mostly my mother's influence as their personalities are drastically different. As I grew up, I leaned more from her over to my dad. He makes more sense on a lot of things (no offense to my mother at all).

Our sense of humor overlaps a lot, although I am much more into stupid college humor than he is. Sometimes he rolls his eyes at my dyed hair and piercing, but nothing too far out there. It's not like I'm a junkie.

As far as believing that TANSTAAFL, I dunno... I get free lunch from the Tan man himself every week or two.

I have a 23 year old son myself. Still lives with me. :)

Thanks for the extra info on yourself. Sounds like you have a great sense of humor (in other words: you got my joke).

I've always found your dad's sense of humor to be fairly dry, with just enough bite to sting ya when he wants to!

My daughter was on this forum for a while a couple of years ago, and I think she had a great time (she's, er, 25 I think).

Anyhow, look around and enjoy!

I live in AZ not too far away from my father, Tanstaafl, who is responsible for bringing me to the JREF.

There's a very good thread going on at the moment (http://forums.randi.org/showthread.php?t=77471&highlight=bravery)about bravery and what constitutes a brave action.

Your input could be valuable!

[Overthinker]

Found a reminder when I logged in today that I haven't posted anything yet, and the bot suggested this place. So here goes....

I have been a sceptic for a very long time indeed, rejecting religion at age eight when I was asked if I believed in God and thought about it and said "no." That stance has not changed, and later exposure to the works of Isaac Asimov and SF in general, plus Carl Sagan's Cosmos and later his Candle in the Dark deepened my respect for science and the scientific viewpoint. However rather than becoming a scientist I have become a historian, which uses similar goals and methods: arguments should be supported by data that can be analysed by others. However as historians do not have the ability to do experiments ("let's redo the Second Punic War!") and data is not nearly as quantifiable in general, I certainly do not claim history is a science as such. But I try to approach it as such, which generally means being very sceptical about such stuff as post-modernism and relative truths. And the latest trend of the month.

Been reading Richard Dawkins lately, and he's quite interesting. Not subtle, but generally good value. I used to debate religion in other forums a fair bit until I realised that there was no hope of finding a middle ground - concepts of proof are just too far removed from each other. So now I just stick to reading some of the major blogs and hoping the world does not descend into superstition (it's already at ignorance).

I currently live in Japan, which is both refreshingly free of serious fundy religion and yet full of wacko superstitions, such as the blood-type personality thing: my GF was most relieved to find out I wasn't O. Hm. TV progs are full of 'ghost photo' specials and psychics, though nothing quite like South Park's "The BDIT Universe" John Edwards thank...thank someone. Feng Shui is not uncommon, but nothing like in China, and probably not as much as California. However it is still home to more than a few wacko ideas and superstitions, and whenever I come across one in conversation I try and correct it.

Anyway, that's enough to be going on with, I think.... Hope to have many interesting conversations here....

[The Great Hairy One]

Gidday all,

I thought I would finally get an account and start posting, I've been lurking here for about 18 months or so. I feel like I know a lot of you already. :)

About me - male, middle aged, married with one kid. Australian, my wife is American, and we met online. Been an atheist all my life, both my parents are atheists. Used to post a lot on alt.atheism and talk.origins (wonder if anyone here recognises me?). Was a member of the Australian Skeptics a while ago, but let my membership laspe several years ago when I moved interstate for work. Hmm, what else? My first degree is in science (genetics), my post-grad is in IT (software engineering). I work as a Test Manager, generally running a small group of testers to QA a product before it "goes live". Been a roleplayer all my life, run a lot of DnD and so on. Avid PC/online gamer, sci fi nut, fantasy reader, usual stuff. That's about it in a nutshell!

Pleasure to meet you all, finally. :)

Cheers,
TGHO

I've been reading the commentary for quite some time, along with some other skeptical sources, and after following some links into the forums here I felt I ought to sign up. I'm not a JREF member right now for purely financial reasons, which ought to be rectified pretty soon.

I've been a skeptic all my life, raised by skeptics. I'm starting to look to become more active about it now, though I'm not sure how I'll pursue it just yet.

[parrotslave]

Hello everyone, thought I should finally introduce myself.

I've been here a few weeks checking out the place to see if I might fit in.

The last board I posted on got a little too Secrety for my tastes so I needed some healthy skepticism.

I spent most of my misspent youth exploring different types of woo hoping some of it might be true, but finally came to the agnostic conclusion.

I also like parrots.

[TheDoLittle]

To paraphrase The Great Gonzo, "I shall attempt to introduce myself while junking this vintage automobile! Afterwards, I shall eat the crankcase...!"

My name is David O. Little, but everyone calls me The DoLittle. Not because I Do Little, I Do quite a bit, but it's a fairly boring story and I'll only tell it if anyone asks politely. I am a father of two teenage sons, one of whom is on his way to college next year, working on a 1st mortgage and 2nd marriage, started and sold two moderately successful businesses over the past 10 years, and am a lover of science, art, peanut butter, South Texas, miniature wargames, and early morning walks on the beach with a sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico.

I am currently a student at Houston Community College, finishing up my AAS in Digital Communication, and will be teaching classes here in the fall. I also run the various computer labs on our particular campus and when students who come in to use the labs, help them with their assignments if needed.

You have to use a lot of critical thinking when working on these projects, both in the graphic and programming areas. Both of my parents being engineers, ciritical thinking was something I was taught at a very young age. Being well into my 30s, I'm almost twice as old as the average student at this school. I find it amazing that almost none of these "kids" were taught critical thinking. Besides my parents, almost every teacher I had in school taught something that recquired us to think. The very basic "if/then" statement in programming is critical thinking at it's simplest: if "you do/don't do this" then "this will/won't happen".

Many a times I've been called over to a computer to help some poor student who is behind in their work, waving the instructions for their assignment around their head, complaining "This program/computer/operating system isn't working right because it's not doing what I want it to do!" So I just sit them down and go through the process until we find the solution, usually with a little ridicule ("I know exactly what the problem is. You did it wrong!"), but I try and impart a little wisdom so they know how to work through future roadblocks.

At any rate, I hold out hope that our future generations won't decide which old folks home I get institutionalized in.

I have two adult children, and I'm still ahead of that other sister in the Grandma Derby, although since she had more kids to begin with, her grandkid potential is higher; and since at least one of her kids isn't (actively) procreating yet, she'll probably pull ahead of me eventually.

Now then fellow Skeptics!

I have been ghosting these forums for some time now and have been mightily impressed at the levels of debate and discourse going down. I have finally finished wrestling with the registration process and am eager to get stuck in.

Firstly, I would just like to set out my stall nice and early with a 'snapshot' of my personal beliefs:

I do not believe in any deity, supreme being/creator, higher purpose or organised religion.
I don't believe in ghosts, spirits or psychic mediums, but am interested in the effects of magnetic fields on the human brain.
I would like to think there is other intelligent life somewhere in the universe, but am skeptical about most UFO 'evidence', and HIGHLY skeptical about ALL purported alien abductions.
Bigfoot, Nessie, Fairies: well, it'd be nice, but it's not happening for me.

Look forward to meeting you all!

I do not believe in any deity, (snip)

As forum god, I'd like to recommend Skinnematics (ask LeFevre for details).

Tacoism has some popularity, as does the FSM.

However, only Skinnematics provides for a deity that you can actually commumincate with!!

Hi, I'm curious about something and didn't feel it needed a whole new thread. Plus it is sort of a newbie question and I though others may benefit.

I had a post moved to an inactive thread along with a group of other posts. Some of the posts in the group were warned though mine was not, and it was a rather benign remark in direct relation to another persons post.

Any clue as to why my post was moved with the rest?

[Maverico]

Hi all, I have been a skeptic of many things since my confirmation in the Lutheran Church (of which barely went through because my Creedo was highly critical of Biblical writings), and my reading of Carl Sagan. I've seen James Randi on Penn and Teller's show (I own 4 seasons), but never knew there was a lively forum on his website. I should warn you, however, that I see the creation of a new world order growing, in light of recent events, particularly 9/11. I look forward to getting attacked by everyone in the Conspiracy section.

[Mr. Skinny]

It's tempting you know. Do you do contract smitings? Are all prayers - no matter how selfish and/or perverse - answered?
I only smite those that really, really tick me off. So, sorry, no contract smitings.

You really don't need to pray to me. When people do pray to me, it often comes across as a bunch of indistinct mumbling sounds. I've found PM's or a new thread on the forum works best.

As to whether or not the prayer will be answered, all I can say is, it depends...

Definitely none of that door-to-door crap. Those are the kind of people I do smite.

Skinnematics is generally laid-back. The most you might be encouraged to do is pop into a thread where Dragonrock is spouting Tacoism and say that you think Skinnematics is better. If you don't feel like doing even that, it's cool with me though. ;)

Essentially, there are few requirements except to recognize me as Lord High Emperor SkinnyGod.

So, now that you know, think you'll join the fold?

I am getting close to being converted here - is it necessary for me to have some sort of revelatory episode first? And what are the tenets of 'Tacoism'? It's only fair I have a balanced view! :D

[sneball]

Hi everybody.

English is not my language so forgive all my errors, please.
I've been reading this site for years and I almost feel like I know some of you people. Lots of intelligence here. And humour! Both intensional and (the other kind). I laugh out loud everytime i visit. Honest.

And laugh one must: These last months I've been reading the writings of the 'Truthers' with increasing wonder. Their intense wish for a (different) conspiracy combined with disregard of fact is really, really strange.
I visited Ground Zero in 2003. It was my first (and so far my only) trip to the US, and I remember standing outside that fence, just being amazed by the size of the place. To think that a government would do such a thing to its own people (and HOPE to get away with it) is just ... silly.
(Not that silliness seem to be unheard of in the US. My trip contiuned to California and Las Vegas. Need I say more? ;)
What else? I haven't had much time to read the religious debates lately, but they are usually entertaining. I enjoy watching those religious nuts going down in flames. I probably should say that R. Dawkins is among my heroes...

I've been able to keep silent all these years, and I'll try to continue to keep my mouth shut when I've got nothing sensible to add. According to some of my friends that is most of the time.
So I'll just go back to my corner now... carry on, please!

You're amazing.

Those voices you heard were actually me, speaking to you using a secure communications implant.

Once you have debunked yourself, you are free to act "normally", until such time as you receive further vocal communication.

At that time, you will receive your next "psychic prediction" which you will announce in the appropriate sub-forum.

Absolutely love this website and forum. Always learning new things here, and am always inspired by the critical thinking and solid debate skills demonstrated by the regular posters.

Have spent many amusing hours browsing through the challenge applications thread, which never fails to make me laugh out loud. I do miss Kramer though.

With any luck, they'll come pick your brother up, and he won't bother you any more about it....

Welcome, freudianlip.

But just one more warning, if you should encounter a librarian here... just assure her that you have returned your library books, and that you really, really like budgies.

Thankyou Tanstaaf.. Appreciate the welcome..
does this mean she( the mysterious librarian) has no way of tracking her hoard of library books.... might there be a business opportunity for a person?? And its true really I love budgies...slurrrp! Might there:arlene: be some feline genetic influence in my strangely mixed background...

Hi everyone! Well I was sent here by a friend that will not be named at this point. I lurked for all of 2 hours before filling out the registration form. Does that make me a prelurker? Well I am so excited to find such a diverse group of people. And you''ve heard of the FSM! I've only read for a few hours so far but I LMAOROFL several times. This is my first forum experience so please go easy on me. My friend's only warning was to watch out for McD didn't get that one. So guidence much appreciated.
Yes I am a Mom of a awesome 20 yr old daughter. I love reading Sci fi, playing with my two Egyptian Mau cats, Pc games, learning(sometimes I think its a dying art but have much hope now that I've visited here), Art of many forms, creative crafts, jewelry making, and um that's probably a long enough list.
Hope to add to some intelligent and as stated above irrelevant conversations.

Just ok??!! You have got to be kidding!!!

Just a few quick things, momzahippie:

1.) Not only should you change your neutral stance on goats, I recommend you erase the word "goat" from your vocabulary.
2.) Any mention of the word "nuts" is subject to all kinds of misinterpretation. Keep in mind, this is both a nut house, and a place full of pervs.
3.) Regardless of what grayman implies, all us skepchicks are peaceful, docile women, who only want to spread love and joy wherever we go.

Note to grayman: Wasn't last week's lesson enough for you? You need more, already?

It was never proven what grayman was really diong with the goats . So you can't really classify him as a perv. Grayman I am missing a goat would you kindly return it and I have to ask for you key to the goat pen you will get it back after you learn not to molest errrr bother them.

I'm new here too. I am a regular reader of Skeptic and Skeptical Inquirer, got to meet Michael Shermer once and the Mythbusters guys, and love scientific and historical inquiry. I somehow feel offended by pseudeoscientific and pesudeohistorical crap that I see on TV from time to time, wishing I'd see more real science aired (which went the way of the dinosaur on TLC several years ago, and which has long been endangered on Discovery, and no, I don't get Discovery Science). Anyway, glad to be here and meet you all.

I'd just like to add a welcome and to say, remember that those of us who know less, who (long ago!) always came last in any race to the other faster ones etc are being kind and helpful to said others!!

I always turn to the 'Welcome' page first as it is so interesting to see that the world has a much larger proportion of sceptics than I would have thought some years ago.

[lauraPSLI]

Hi, my name is Laura. I founded a local paranormal society here on Long Island. Every month we neet to discuss and debate paranormal topics. This month the talk is to be regarding the history of psychic phenomena and interactions with science. In researching this I found the JREF site. I'm looking forward to some interesting and enlgihtening conversation. Nice to meet everyone.

Hi There

I am new to the forum. Up until a couple of months ago I was a full on total believer in mediums, etc until I had some personal problems and decided to go and see one. What a mistake that was it was £30 wasted as nothing she told me was anything like the truth. Since then I have done a lot of research into this and found this forum. Now I am totally in the middle of the debate and don't know what to believe so would welcome some views from everyone!

Welcome - and don't consider the £30 wasted - consider it the cost of a lesson, one that could save you a lot more then just money.

[Antisocialite]

Hello all, and greetings from a smallish island in the middle of the Pacific ... I'm a longtime Randi fan and a former lurker on the boards here. I've just regained reliable internet access after a yearlong hiatus, and decided to finally get registered. I just moved to a new place with a much higher concentration of new-agey woo than I'm used to being around, so I'm hoping communication with skeptics will help me preserve my critical thinking skills, if not necessarily my sanity.

[Mr. Skinny]

Welcome, Antisocialite.

Given your name, I don't expect a response. In fact, since this may be your last post, let me use this opportunity to say it's been nice knowing you.

Hello, Long time lurker first time poster.
(I think, I mean I cant really remember If I'd joined once before under another name cant remember login details or even a username but I digress)
Been a fan of Randi since I was 7 or so, first as a magician then as a sceptic. I think James has done a great job raising awareness for the sceptical cause during his long tenure. Just wanted to say hello, and I hope theres still enough "woo" to go around.

[Tanstaafl]

Welcome, bob, and I'm sure you'll find the woo warehouse to be overflowing.

[bob_dezon]

lol, I cant wait to find the bargain bin.

[EvilTB]

Like Bob, I have been lurking here for quite awhile. (When I started lurking somebody was posting about demons in their basement, and that they could photograph them.)

I first heard of JREF and the million dollar prize in some sort of "fact or fiction" debate between James Randi and Art Bell in some teen magazine about ten years ago. (It was also the first time I heard of Art Bell.) If I remember correctly Randi was actually well represented in the article.

[EvilTB]

I didn't realize I registered a year ago, it looks like I am not going to be terribly prolific here.

[Spidey13]

Welcome to the newly non-lurking!

[Grasshopper]

-Raised liberal Methodist, where you didn't necessarily have to believe, but had to keep trying. Too much work.
-Tried Unitarianism, where you could believe in anything you wanted. But that took time out of the weekend.
-Dabbled with Zen, where you mostly spent time sitting and doing nothing. Too much of a commitment.
-Ended up here.

I'll leave the professional end out of it (mostly journalism), because that's too much of a sordid tale. Can't wait to get involved in some civil discussions.

[Hawk one]

Ahh, grasshopper. You are still young, you will learn the mystic secrets one day. Ah, so.


(Hey, what did you expect with that nick? ;) )

[Grasshopper]

Thanks, Hawk One.
The nick actually came from a friend who was working diligently on a task while I stared blankly at the sea behind him. Someday, perhaps ... indeed.

[hcmom]

... Can't wait to get involved in some civil discussions.
So.... do you want to know who not to talk to?

[grayman]

Mom...shhhhh!

[Tanstaafl]

Welcome, grasshopper.

Reminds me of when my son was learning to drive a stick shift:

"Ah, grasshopper, you must become one with the clutch..."

[AudioFreak]

And I did!

[Tanstaafl]

Indeed!

[Hawk one]

What is it with Americans and hardly knowing about driving a stick anyway? Around here, people just about always learn stick first, and they most definitely only drive stick when taking formal driving lessons.

[Tanstaafl]

Well, he pretty much was just learning to drive. He had a little experience with an automatic, but this was before he had his license, as I recall.

And yes, it was done off-road.


Sheesh, you'd think Norweigians invented the stick shift...

[Hawk one]

I'd say a smart-ass remark about doing it off-road if it wasn't for the fact that for the last 15 years, our gov's let all but the most used roads detoriate until the point where the asphalt's smoldering up and it gradually becomes indistinguishable from off-road.

I hate our roads.

[Grasshopper]

One of my first experiences with a stick shift was on one of my dad's tractors. He didn't tell me not to ride the clutch. After the $800 repair bill later, believe me, I knew not to ride it.

Thanks for the offer, hcmom, but I'll just venture forth at time allows. Most of my forum time before this has been on a college hockey board. Civil? Maybe on rare occasions, off-season.

[HawaiiBigSis]

...most used roads detoriate until the point where the asphalt's smoldering up and it gradually becomes indistinguishable from off-road.
Sounds like the roads on my small mid-Pacific rock.

Hi all, I'm a newbie/lurker who hasn't stopped by the forum in awhile. (Feel free to go into mom mode and scold me.) I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get Carl Sagan's Demon-Haunted World on CD. It's only on cassette from what I've found, and I want to listen to it in the car.

Anyway, I'm really glad this site exists. Maybe I can get ideas on how to politely tell my friend that magnetic bracelets don't cure anything. Btw, Grayman, that's one creepy avatar. :)

I remember thinking: "Wow, I've never had anything paranormal happen to me. I want that to happen." Eventually it dawned on me that in order for something paranormal to happen to me it would have to happen at all and not just in someone's imagination... I'm all about this forum.
