Thanks for having a look at my portfolio! Again, congratulations.

Congratulations on your decision, roho_the_rooster!

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he recently said he has no problem with people referring to him as just Nemo. You may be correct. Magister Nemo would have to clarify. I personally feel that unless you hold a higher title than the aformentioned person or they tell you not to refer to them by a given title then you respect the title and the person and address them accordingly. I know this isn't the Military, but that's a hard mindset to break.

To tell you the truth...The few times I have directly addressed Magister Nemo, I have felt like the Scarecrow addressing the Wizard of Oz. When I read his posts, I heard this loud, booming, authoritative voice. I have no problem showing him respect. I never questioned if you could/could not show respect. I was simply reminding you he was a Magister. I have seen several perspective members ignore the titles of Priesthood members or just not notice them. I've no issues with you, so do not take it personal.

Thanks - you'll be glad to hear I presently have about five paintings in progress. I'll be glad to post when they're done. (Of course there will just be another five after that and so on.)

D. Mogg...I didn't take your post in a negative way; nor do I assume you have issues with me.  I take your comment as someone who is a church member trying to help a prospective member start on the right foot. It's pretty much like telling me my fly is open. I appreciate it. I like you more and more each day. You're rational and intelligent, two wonderful qualities that I (not the CoS, I don't speak for the CoS, this is NOT an official statement) feel all CoS members should have.

Metaphor is just another word for LIES. That is why I never get caught in a lie. I get caught in a metaphor. Easier to get out of... Many on this board try to be funny, but you Minus are in the top one percent for funny. You never fail to amuse.  Roho, I am sure you will be a most welcome addition to the collection of Demons already gathered. I await your downstairs intro to welcome you properly.  Hail Satan!
