you're an adult? talk like one.
The vodoun listserves I'm on have once again gotten me down.
Last night, I saw a post from some Houngan who said he was in NJ and not very far away from me at that. I got happy, thinking maybe I would email him. Try to set up some correspondence so I can at least talk to someone who's involved in the same sort of thing that I am.
However, when I checked my mail today there was another (totally different topic from the previous night) post from him in reply to someone's question about whether or not a specific file saved referencing Crowley meant that their Society had ties to Thelema.
This guy's answer? That while he couldn't speak for everyone else, he had read it and didn't like it. Then he proclaimed it to be "kaka".
As in the baby word for shit. I have problems with that statement on numerous levels. One of which is the fact that an apparently grown man feels the need to use baby words. This really irks me to no end. The only people I've ever known to use baby talk are either (a.) babies, (b.) people talking to babies (and this isn't exactly excusable, either. I fucking hate that shit.), and (c.) idiots.
My either problem is that I don't like his disrespect for something he knows absolutely nothing about and his disrespect of the person who had posted said file.
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's a really great guy. But, I can't get past that sort of thing. So, I suppose I won't ever contact him.
grr.
I'm beginning to despair of ever meeting someone local I can discuss this/my religion with who's actually /involved/ in it and not a complete tard.

It's frustrating. I have a lot of like-minded friends, religion wise. But, not many to specifically discuss what I'm into. I'm beginning to be full of a lot of questions about it and can't find any answers. And the listserves are full of DWEEBS who do nothing but argue with each other.
Kind of like alt.gothic, now that I think about it.
hee!
