An interesting conversation between two of us.

This is a conversation recorded between the Baron Harkonnen, Godzilla and Graham Work, three of our system members. I think its relevant to the community.

Baron: Well, Graham, going on and on about Christianity again, hmmm?
Graham: Baron, I am a fundamentalist Young-Earth Creationist. That makes me the odd man out.
Godzilla: YOU the odd man out? By God, I'm one of the odd ones out, not you.
Graham: How so?
Godzilla:  I've been active in cleaning up your messes, and as the only responsible member of this Crew I am sick and tired of it.
Graham: Hey, we're multiple, what do you expect.
Baron: Damn you, don't say that again! Multiplicity should not be YOUR excuse for abandoning your responsiblities, Work!
Graham: For your information, I have not-
Baron: Don't give me that. You are one of the laziest people I know. Isn't Sloth one of the Seven Deadly Sins?
Godzilla: Baron, he may be slothful, but that's just a weakness. We can't all be perfectly improving ourselves as you are.
Baron: Look at the one in the body, he's tuning out this discussion! We of the Crew have a flaw that we tend to make outlandish claims, and then we wonder why people look at us with derision.
Graham: I have never even-
Godzilla: I have seen the posts you're referring to, Baron Harkonnen, and I agree. But take it up with the Government. You know how difficult changing fronter attitudes is!
Graham: What interests me is that by the standard of the Golden Rule-
Godzilla: Golden Rule be damned! We need a stronger system of leadership.

This was a discussion during last year's election.

Huh?

I was merely trying to say that we're discussing how to avoid coming across as a dumb***. Unfortunately we failed again. Not to mention the perpetual religious issues and intrasystem issues within our system.

I enjoy reading the "internal" conversations. :) We post things like this from time to time in one of our private journals.

Just picturing the common renditions of Baron Harkonnen and Godzilla talking to each other makes me smile ;)

And apparently Graham... doesn't Work? :)

This reads like when we used to run a WWIVnet BBS. One of the discussion boards on the BBS was our own and we chatted back and forth at each other. In our own colours, yet. Reminded each other to take out the trash and back up the hard drive.

We've always colour-coded everything because we can't control who's at front. On WWIVnet, we were able to use ANSI. If someone comes up front in the middle of things, the colour of the pen or ANSI text being used tells that person who was the last one to front. It's more difficult on the internet, but we manage ;)

A few of us have tried to record conversations but eventualy, just about everyone ends up talking about the fact that they're being recorded and gets off the topic on hand. Don't think too many people like being recorded in here -- and I certainly don't think we'd ever post it publicly. (For those who can, bravo.... I'd imagine it's always nice to look back on and see exactaly how your members felt at said time).

It's always interesting reading these, guess it gives us some insight to how other multiples think and feel while conversing amongst their other headmates.
