My daily reads
In imitation of Philippa and because Alda left me a comment, here are some blogs/forums I read.
- Deacon Raphael (no relation, chuckle) has just posted a tear jerker.
- Waiter is one heck of a writer and his posts are always full of humanity and humor.
- I’ve recently joined Monachos.net and have been a little disappointed. I was hoping for more discussion.
- I’ve been reading Orthodork, wondering if it would provide the irregular daily Orthodox discussion I didn’t find in Monachos. I like the posts and the potential is there for regular conversation, but its not frequent.
- I regularly read a few gaming sites like Treasure Tables Blog and Forum and The Great White Games/Pinnacle Forum.
- I’ve enjoyed the Orthodox-Convert list at Yahoo for years, but now it just seems to be the same set of discussions over and over. I guess it should be as new converts join, but it no longer interests me. Plus the volume of posts is a little high for my taste.
If you know of a fairly active, friendly Orthodox forum pass it along.
Yeah – I haven’t been following the Orthodox-convert list lately either (same reasons). I’ve visited Orthodork (love the name) but haven’t found much discussion either.
I used to check out http://www.orthodoxforum.com/ pretty regularly – but they seem to have attracted some trolls (maybe its better now)
Also http://www.sojourner3.proboards59.com/index.cgi
also that one is mostly populated by the ladies – you may find the conversation a bit well… lacking.

I read the Ortho-Convert list in digest form, which helps me because usually by the time I see it, the whole conversation has reached it’s arc, and I can just follow it.
Deacon Raphael writes very well.
There’s kind of a woman heavy but very interesting community at http://www.orthodoxchat.com you may want to wander by.
Any more suggestions made offlist for Orthodox discussion Raphael? I’ve not found anything that’s any good either. There’s yahoo groups out there that slings a lot of mud back and forth but I get enough of that and don’t want more.
I checked out the Waiter Rant and bookmarked it a favorite. Thanks for the link.
I am on the same hunt as you, I guess. I find most boards/lists to be either deader than dodos or argumentative
thanks for sharing “waiter” i took a quick look at it and i think perhaps it will be a nice compliment to my reading of Barista Angst blog: http://barista-angst.blogspot.com/
