I was asking roigam whether he celebrated birthdays as an individual poster here in his own right.

If he has the same answer as you on account of being a member of the same non-stock corporation (with its HQ in New York) as you are, then it's no skin of his nose or off my nose if he simply says so.

In fact, I'm not sure what the skin on your nose has go ...[text shortened]... em to have jumped in for some reason.

Do you also send your birthday wishes to the web site?
No you were not, you knew that he was one of Jehovahs witnesses and framed the question directly at him in a cheap attempt to make something of the fact that children are involved. Have you asked anyone else whether they celebrate the birthdays of their children? no? making a mockery of your ludicrous claims.

Actually, I don't know what answer roigam was - or is - going to give. I found it interesting that he - a JW - participated in the sending of his anniversary wishes to a web site on the occasion of it's 15th birthday... so perhaps he will answer my question differently from you.

I asked him because his participation in this thread is somewhat of a surprise, seeing as he is a JW. If he explains that he feels permitted to wish inanimate objects or intangible things like a web site 'happy anniversary' or 'happy birthday', then I will have learnt something new. If you wish the web site a 'happy anniversary' I will be surprised and will perhaps ask you about.

But who else's sending of a 'happy anniversary' message - as he has done on this thread - has been a surprise? Perhaps he's like Beauroberts - a JW - who had a blood transfusion, which - as far as I know - most JWs would not want to do.

you have been caught asking question that you already knew the answer to with the sole intent of using it to make something of the fact that children are involved.

But I did not and still don't know what roigam's answer will be.

And I don't know the answer to this question, either:

robbie, do you also send your anniversary wishes to the web site on the occasion of its 15th birthday?


-Removed-
tell us why you use the term cult to describe Jehovahs witnesses.

No it holds little interest for me.

Would it be permissible for you - as a JW - to wish this web site a happy birthday?

I'm sure Russ is a very nice guy and gives great value for money.
But he doesn't need his behind licked.
Is that how you see it? Since when is it "behind licking" to pay a compliment or acknowledge one's achievement?

Why do you feel the need to make it a character flaw to say something polite to someone for doing a good thing?

1. Yes

2. When it's to the owner of an internet chess site.

3. I don't. Why do you find the need to put words into people's mouths?

It is entirely possible to compliment Russ privately. When done publicly it could be interpreted as a$$-licking.
