Do you believe in Skinner?

I do. I've never questioned Skinner's existence.

1. The real question, though..
Did Skinner create DU?

Or did DU create Skinner?

2. I believe in Skinner as surely as I believe that global warming is caused by a lack of pirates.

4. I sure do, my dear raccoon...
After all, I've spoken to him...

On the phone, during Mod orientation...

He is a very cool young man!

8. But...but Peggy, I've been thinking.

If Skinner exists, why does he allow the existence of trolls?

If Skinner exists, why does he allow posters to make snarky posts?

I'm starting to have doubts.

12. Oh great. You're one of those aSkinnerites, aren't you?
If Skinner doesn't exist, how do you explain the existence of bananas? Those are clear proof of Skinner's Intelligent Design.

Oh the other hand, the existence of GD is a pretty good argument against Skinner's Intelligent Design, but still...

17. GD is proof that Skinner allows free will.
And that we live in a fallen creation. Hence, we are dependent on Skinner for our eternal well-being. We can't accomplish this by ourselves.

Praise Skinner!!

9. I'm a Skinner agnostic.
It's possible, but there is no compelling evidence.

13. You're not tombstoned for asking that question
He must not exist!

:rofl:


But I saw that one DUer demanded that Skinner tombstone him, and Skinner did immediately. In His righteous wrath, amen.

Besides, he takes my money... :-)
