Now that yet another Mid-Season Epoch is upon us,

 

Hereby propose the Collaborative Writing of the Book/s of the Title of This Thread,

i.e.

The Quasi-Gnostic or whatever Book of Readers’-Racing Comments

 

It shall consist of the Pre-Tanakh (the pre-Readers’ Comments Era) Book,

The Tanakh (concerning the Readers’ Comments Era), aka The Old Testament,

and The New Testament (re the Racing Comments Era), which differs from the Christian thang by being longer than its Tanakh/Old correlative.

 

The aforementioned Books can be renamed/edited/amended/revised/etc. by Collaborators in accordance with their Cosmologies

(Hindu, First Nations of the now-known-as-the Americas Peoples, Confucian, Taoist, Buddhist, Islamic, Newtonian, Planckian, Schrödingerian-Diracic, Heisenbergian, Einsteinian, Agnostic, Atheistic, etc., etc.),

 

but NOT

 

with a view to creating lethal discord among the various adherents of Systems,

 

rather playfullness, healthy or weird mutations, etc. etc.

 

And so, to Begin somewhere:

Genesis

 

Chapter 1

 

Once, within time,

And possibly within Time (if it exists)

There was a Void between F1 racing

And its better (or crazier) class of fans/participants.

 

In some and/or many and/or few ways,

It was kinda similar to the Great Nothingness 

Prior to the Big Bang, as theorized by physicists, 

 

And yet, in other ways,

Not at all.

 

Lo, circa 1994-1995, Paul Kaizar (aka The Creator)

Moveth upon the various surfaces/fields of the Internet, 

And with other co-creators, or perhaps by Himself, 

He focusseth His energy upon its loose photons,

And Atlas F1 sprang into Being.

 

Many of the constituents of these surfaces/fields 

Gathered to sing in unison:

“Hey, That’s Great!!”

And The Creator sez: 

“Glad youse think so.”

 

Chapter 2

 

But they began to sin.

And so The Creator and His Angels quoth as One:

“There have already been goofinesses which shall require

Moderators and Rules,

Which Shall Not Be Infringed"

 

And the Class of Angels

Known as Moderators warned

The Sinning Congregants not to challenge

But obey and go forth, multiply and be witty and informative,

And/or speculative and moderately obstreperous.

 

Chapter 2a*

aka the Book of the Great Schism

 

And, upon beholding a Great Restlessness

Among the Congregants, who pined

To opine about Matters Not-Racingish or like,

The Creator and His Angelic Consorts

In Their Awesome Wisdom

Created The Paddock Club,

Which verily was a Welcome Valve,

And prospered.

...

 

The Paddock.

 

 

 

 

Over to youse Collaborators...

I can honestly say I only understood about one sentence of this. 

 

Can you try explaining again, but preferably in English this time? 

[Zmeej]

Which sentence did you understand?

[FLB]

It *is* in English, it's just that there should be a caveat 'Theology degree required'     

[Zmeej]

Hmmm. Possibly…

 

FWIW, don’t have one, but I do like playing around with this kinda thing…

[Zmeej]

OK, more simply and clearly:

 

Let's write a history of Racing Comments and what came before them together, from various points of view,

but NOT to revive or foster hostilities and other idiotic behaviour.

 

Also framed it in terms of two Abrahamic religions' Scripture, playfully,

but suggested that the aforementioned "various points of view" should consider themselves invited to freely participate and offer their own versions.

Oh yeah...

 

FLB

 

Thank you very kindly for this:

 

It *is* in English, ...      

 

[Zmeej]

Hmmm, more radio silence.

 

OK...

 

Is the problem that

 

a) the thread's title and proposed title of the history is a major turn off?

b) the OP is a major turn-off in general?

c) the OP and post #2 are a major turn-off because of the play with Scripture?

 

Or is it that youse

 

i/ dislike the idea of collaboration?

ii/ dislike the words "collaboration/ors" and would prefer "contribution/ors to" the history"?

iii/ are afraid of history?

iv/ are afraid of the RC's history?

v/ are mindful of the injunction against lethal hostility?

vi/ think this history should be serious, not playful?

vii/ think there should have been a stricter approach and a focus on One True History?

 

Or, far more simply

1. if I want to write a history, I should just go ahead and write one and not hide my laziness behind "collaboration";

2. youse can't be arsed;

3. youse think it's a stupid idea;

4. youse think it would be a waste of time;

 

or, in a more complex fashion,

 

n1) another single reason, not mentioned above;

n2) n other reasons;

n3) n combinations of n numbers of reasons listed above;

n4) n combinations of n other reasons and n numbers of reasons listed above.

Very well done.
