And if you don't, I'm not sure that Ursus is the one with the reality issue. And I truly don't mean that in any derogatory way, I am truly concerned for you. This is for fun, and that's what we were having. My references were to two 'cults'. The Jonestown religious cult, in Guyana, who committed mass suicide with Electric Koolaid, and the Heaven's Gate cult who ate tainted pudding and wore identical Nike runners. If this topic is REALLY that serious to you, then you need a little reality check. *I* am offended by your comments towards Ursus, and *I* think you need to take your little Churro church thing a little less seriously. Have fun with it, by all means, but be prepared to take a little ribbing with it.
Originally Posted By iluvdisneyland Cathy, this is completely the reason for the offense. I am *not* a member of a cult, nor will I be referred to as such. It is neither fair nor polite to refer to somebody or a group of friends as such.

Hmmm... Anyway, I don't think that there is any reason for anyone to be offended here, but maybe we could chill with the whole cult thing? It could only be funny so many times!
Originally Posted By cmpaley YAY, Derick! Well said! Here, here! Once is a joke. Twice borders on offensive. Thrice borders on mean-spirited. While the banter between Popcornians and Churroians can get a bit aggressive, I believe that it's mutually understood that it's in fun. Yes, those of us who are Churroians have stayed pretty cohesive, but that's because we're all FRIENDS. This is a problem? This makes us a cult? I always thought of a cult as a religious group with control underlying the whole program. Take a good look at our rules. We are quite free in our snacking choices and lifestyle choices. We just choose to enjoy churros most of all.

I know what its like when people dont back down and its not fun at all. Hopefully this will all calm down and we can all get back to all of our lighthearted jokes and lets just have fun! :O)
