Either he is referring to a Freemason status when using the word antients, or, and perhaps more likely, he has misspelled ancients. LOL. Either way, that was five minutes of my day I won’t get back.

The digital rights issue is a test from the Gods. But the Gods are capricious, and manipulative, so obedience isn’t the answer. You’ve been told to only…uhm…something, with digital rights management. But you shouldn’t. Or maybe should. It depends on what mood the Gods are in.

God speaks to me, but only during my naughty time.

He sounds a lot like Pat Sajak, too.

So what you are saying is… that you’re the only one gods speak through and everyone must listen to you.

I think someone has a nice jacket ready for you. It has these awesome arms that tie around the back.
