Much has been said on this forum about the disruptiveness of
Discordians and/or Subgenii. They derail threads. They don't
take anything seriously. They are dangerously inconsistent,
politically, and won't agree with either "side". They don't show
respect in the same manner everyone else does. They won't
spell magic with a K on the end. They are, in short, a bad
influence.
This being said, perhaps an explanation is in order.
Fact is, we're just as "pagan" as anyone else. We certainly
aren't Christians, at least not on any recognizable level. We
have our own holy days (though we can never agree on which
days they are), our own traditions (though we can't agree on
those either), and our own holy men/prophets/messiahs (though
we never listen to them).
Discordians worship chaos, but - naturally - cannot agree on
what chaos is. Subgenii worship slack, which is a whole
different ball of wax. We both agree on the MEANS, but not
the ENDS. Now, if you realize that chaos isn't all fluffy
bunnies and dadaism, you can see why Discordians are a
disruptive bunch. It's not that they want to, it's that they have
no choice. Both Discordians and Subgenii are BORN
