JayDee got a reaction from CloverReef in How y’all doing you lovely smutmuffins?
My smutting has ceased to be. It is dead smut. I could no more write an even slightly sexualised line than I could enforce the pax romana. I’ve said this several times before but it really feels like it this time.

JayDee reacted to Strange_idea in “Any god that demands worship is by definition a tyrant” going through my 1 st year c
The jewish people believe in debate. A LOT. To the point where there's an old joke that if god himself joined in a debate between priests, that'd only make the vote two to six.
They emphasize things like moses whittling the commandments down to ten (which is also in muslim tradition) and Abraham bargaining to find ten honest men (although some argue that's so that he can see for himself how futile it is). And in a famous story (have to track it doen, sorry), the rabbis actually beat god in a talbot debate and he celebrates his 'childrens' accomplishment.
To them, the relationship with god is a pact, one where he has to fullfill part himself. Theyve succesfully argued terms of worship a number of times, within reason because god needs to get something too. And yes, he asks for worship, but it's closer to a parent wanting to be in your life, if im understanding it righr. Does that make sense?

I’ve never much held with transactional worship myself, but everyone’s mileage varies. I worship my gods because they’re worthy of my worship, but I don’t expect them to do anything for me in return. Well, unless they’re JayDee, in which case I expect I’ll get what I deserve for being a poor reviewer of late.

You’re probably right
clearing out the old to make way for the new.
in hindsight I can see why the christian college didn’t like me much. The feeling was mutual.

Still worthy of contemplation, TBH.

I think @GeorgeGlass has the right of it.
The only other thing I can think of, and I will admit it does annoy me, is when people put a word or phrase in quotations as a form of emphasis:
He seemed to think he was always going to be “the big man on campus” despite being the lowest producer on the team.
And there’s the quote within conversation, which should be marked by ‘ ‘ rather than “ “ :
“So, he said the me, ‘I won’t eat that rubbish.’ Can you imagine the cheek?”

The editor complained that writers use quotation marks too often? If they’re talking about nonfiction, I might agree, because direct quotes are often not necessary in nonfiction (at least, not as necessary as some writers think). But in fiction, quotation marks are essential.

Do that thing where it turns out the remorseless hated evil they thought was destroyed suddenly appears again, like when I haven’t posted here for a hit then suddenly reply.

I’m with @Desiderius Price on this. Do what you think will have the greatest “punch” and keep the readers invested for the next part.
