<p>On another thread, the Heavy Hitters in the political discussions have been classified as to their political leanings. Several CC “regulars” who are not regulars in those Big Brouhaha threads were not mentioned. Hence we have dubbed ourselves the Overlooked and Unclassified.
Here’s our spot. We can classify ourselves, declare our intentions to remain Forever Unclassified. Or whatever.</p>
<p>We accept all comers. We even accept the Previously Classified, the Wrongly Classified, and the Classifiers themselves.</p>
<p>We welcome suggestions as to motto and symbol. </p>
<p>We pass no judgment on the classifying, the classified or the classifiers. We think it’s fine.</p>
<p>We just want our own fun :p!</p>
<p>However, we do <em>not</em> discuss politics - at least not here.</p>
<p>Can I be a part, as I was also left out of that insipid and presumptuous list? </p>
<p>Although I would normally never want to be a part of a list I composed, I also somehow feel left out and will, for that reason, ignore the obvious folly of my request.</p>
<p>Woodwork, you may be a charter member. I would make dstark a charter member also, but I’m not sure he wants in. And I haven’t quite figured out the “white bread” comment (probably because I’m not competent to play on the political threads?) </p>
<p>Other charter members:
jmmom
mootmom
soozievt
lderochi
Alumother</p>
<p>See, I told you we accept all comers - the above including Overlookeds, Unclassifieds, Classifieds and Classifier.</p>
<p>Wait a second…alumother WAS on that list! But if she can be on both lists, then may I??? Ironically, I rarely enter the political fray, but my recent reluctant contributions seem to have qualified me. Don’t know if that’s good or bad…Anyway, may I join in? ~berurah</p>
<p>Count me in. I religiously avoid the political threads, the religious threads, or any thread where I might either get in a fight or want to get in a fight. Unclassified, overlooked and proud of it!</p>
<p>Well, I’m an anarcho-communitarian pacifist with femino-libertarian leanings and a compassionate (if somewhat ironic) twist, so I doubt I qualify for lists of any kind. Never overlooked! but hardly classified…;)</p>
OK, I object to over30’s gratuitous injection of religion into this haven of innocuousness. I mean, it’s fine to religiously avoid things, but you don’t have to rub our noses in it, by gum! Secular avoidance would be the preferred method in this thread.</p>
<p>Membership is growing by leaps and bounds! These folks were very wise to get in during the Early Decision phase. </p>
<p>berurah, you are IN! Remember to always read the instructions thoroughly before marking your answer sheet (or asking any questions, such as “may I join in?”). Instructions said: we accept the Unclassified, the Classified and the Classifiers alike. We have recently extended that to the Defies Classification group (at least in his own mind, mini ).</p>
<p>I was once christened by a rather conservative friend as a “KJLFBHL” (pronounced “kidgle feeble”, standing for Knee Jerk Lunatic Fringe Bleeding Heart Liberal). He didn’t really know what he was talking about, of course, since that’s not an accurate description of me, but he enjoyed reducing things to their least common denominators sometimes.</p>
<p>Honored to be among the unclassified (but NEVER the unwashed!).</p>
<p>jeez: Just what we need is another cult that calls itself independent thinking unbiased, subversive, splinter, wishy washy group, undecided, never-take-a- stand or for that matter, a-chair, third, fourth and fifth column, you-know-what I-am-talking-about, expletive,…</p>
<p>Just another variation of Werner Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. </p>
<p>itstoomuch - I don’t believe we’ve established any prerequisites for membership. But if we had, I feel confident your post would qualify as a winning essay. So you’re in.</p>
<p>We might even induct NJres, as not wanting to be Unclassified is no guarantee of remaining Overlooked.</p>
