Draconic Ritual Q&A ^.=.^

You talk about pushing belief on others (FOR A ******** WORD THAT WAS IN THE DICTIONARY BTW) when all you do is the same s**t.

Actually no. If you can show me one instance of when I relied on my privilege to go against your rights to self identify in an accurate fashion, I'll be glad to review it, but I know for a fact that you cannot.

Quote:

I will NOT sit here and have you ******** people insult my practice and WHAT I BELIEVE IN.

What you believe in is wrong- in so much that the claim that these beings are dragons.

Be a snake worshiper. That would at least be accurate.

OK, I'm done. You people are ******** nuts. You talk about pushing belief on others (FOR A ******** WORD THAT WAS IN THE DICTIONARY BTW) when all you do is the same s**t.

Actually, we don't.
You seem to be misunderstanding what's being said here.
You are projecting your interpretation of what you perceive dragons are onto our gods and stating that that is what they are.
We, in turn, are asking probing questions about your "religion".

Dori-Ryuu

You insult, and demean peoples belief

Actually, I'm passing comment on the historical and cultural veracity of your tradition. I'm not being particularly nice about it, but then you have done nothing to endear yourself to anyone here.
You have been intolerant, impatient, arrogant and mean-spirited.
What were you expecting to reap from this?

Dori-Ryuu

My patience has worn out.

If you have patience, you have not displayed it here.

Dori-Ryuu

I hope its a short one.

This about sums it up.

If you feel that is racist, then I apologize, blame the heritage dictionary because i copy pasted the definition from the dictionary website.

The dictionary did not make you violate the protests of someone based on your privilege. You're responsible for your own actions- no one else.

And yes, justifying those actions highlights how racist it is.

Also, Cú is in a better position than anyone at Heritage dictionary to provide a translation. It is his discretion as well to correct any word they would use to translate a Gael term and to explain why such an English term is inappropriate, as he is an excellent speaker of his own language. It is also at his discretion to correct any of us, regardless of what any English dictionary has to say.

Be my guest. I picked up from somewhere I have long since forgotten.

So this thread boils down to:
"I read these beings were dragons in a DJ Conway Book! Thus, I practice an ancient family tradition, that involves a lack of scholarship, historical revisionism and thoughtforms we insist are dragons, despite what the peoples who actually spoke of these beings have to say on the matter."

And we are done here folks. I swear, all of you wait until I leave for a couple of hours to make threads explode with the drama.

You don't have to go home, but you ain't playing here no more.
