The following remarks have been rescinded (except for the XOXOXO part, which is
genuine god dammit), but preserved in its original form for posterity, and as a reminder to me what happens when you go Full Ape and let your feelers get all twisted up.
QuoteThe best and most honest advice ever given to Discordians and their ilk is to "stick apart." This was true and necessary for a long time before the Internet, and the Internet has not changed the basic necessity of this maxim, though we did for a while stave it off with some impressive accomplishments and exploits. Ultimately, though, Internet Discordianism has the unfortunate and all-too-proven track record of being doomed either to perpetual pinealism and Dadaist bullshit, or to devolving into shit-throwing matches between increasingly hostile and decreasingly sane apes.
This is not a flounce, it's just letting you know that PD has lost its status in my opinion as a community to which it is worth my time to contribute real ideas. Any place where people can be openly declared subhuman, their opinions disregarded and insulted, and the attackers lauded and supported as somehow righteous or justified, is not a community of any real ethical merit.
That being the case, please do not use any content (text, audio, visual, or other) ever generated by me in any kind of publication, online or offline, for profit or not for profit, in whole or in part for any purpose whatsoever if it is connected even tenuously with anything ever produced, displayed, or talked about at PD. In the future, when PD gets a mind to make something of itself and starts wanting to print things or post things on telephone poles, or pull together previous works to compile new ones, please double-check attributions and make sure my name, real or moniker, does not appear there.
Thanks a super bunch,

XOXOXO
PS, Nigel: Fuck you too, in advance.
Whelp, have a lovely time with all that flou- changing of opinion, Vex.
I look forward to your triumphant and inevitable return.
I'd argue about some of the stuff you've said, but what with your opinion on PD as a whole I guess there wouldn't be much point.
See ya... I think I have a couple of your rants on my blog, and to be honest I can't be bothered taking them down. I asked permission for each one at the time, and was granted. I'm gonna consider that good enough. If not, have your people call my people.
hugs and kissies,
HOOPLA
Look out v3x, your true colors are showing.
AHM LEAVIN COS YOU TELLIN ME AH CAN'T DICTATE YER EXPERIENCES DEVALUES MAH EXPERIENCES :argh!:

Hey there, new guy!
Every thread becomes a war zone as soon as the initial hypothesis of the OP isn't supported.
It may be that
having a thousand people say that in the course of every single fucking year is a sign that
there might be some fucking truth to it. Or not, I guess maybe THE WHOLE WORLD IS CRAZY BUT NOT US, OH NO, SWEETNESS, WE GOT US A GOOD THING GOING HERE AND
THE REST OF THEM JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
PD can be a great place, when it isn't swarmed by this kind of horse shit. Problem is, it's swarmed by this kind of horse shit
all the damn time.

Hey there, new guy!
I'm not sure what this means, coming from a person who registered a full four years after I did and has not, as far as I know, seen the ups and downs of this "community" for longer than the past couple of years. But I'm sure it means something valid, and I'd hate to belittle it by calling it out for being the complete bullshit that it is.
Honestly, what you are complaining about is -I think- PD.com's best feature. Every other place on the internet I have been is so restrictive as to what you can and cannot say, and while you seem to be implying that happens here too, it really doesn't. Do people jump down your throat if they don't agree with you? Yes. And, they should. This forum is about how freedom of speech actually works, rather than how people think it should work. You say something, and people who don't like it will verbally attack you, it's your job to dance that word tango and state your case clearly, or maybe even listen to the other person and possibly learn something. Does it suck when a large handful of people jump on you all at once? Of course, it sucked when it happened to me last and will suck when it happens again, but dude, that's not a bad thing, you are being told by verbal votes that what you say is not jiving with them. They do not owe you agreement, and you do not owe THEM agreement.
This is discourse.
PS: Welcome back, that didn't take long. "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."
Vex, I'm not trying to be a dick when I say:
If PD has lowered in status in your opinion as a place where discussion can happen, why are you still here posting? From a very simple logical angle it doesn't make sense.
Well now that's just silly - especially since I don't think it was more than a handful of people condemning you. (Who knows, there's too many damn threads about the same thing).
I admit the amount of personal attacks going either way on a topic such as this is pretty disheartening, and certainly unnecessary. And when they keep up.
Taking your ball and going home just seems silly though.
Meh
Also, what Hoopla and Alty said while I was typing
Gee, v3x, might it also be possible that you're just being wrong and need to adjust your thinking?
It isn't about most people here, or that free speech gets messy. Its about the volume of these conflagrations and that they drown out and suffocate anything constructive or progressive that might be going on. It is also that this place us full of some of the brightest minds I know and I'm tired of watching those people devolve into monkeys at the first sign of resistance to the preconceved ideas. I include myself in that but that doesn't change the overall reality. As for why I am still here, it used to be because I assumed real work could get done in spite of the bullshit, but now its because its entertaining and its a good place to find shit to post on Facebook.

It certainly seems to be getting worse as time goes on. There's always been a certain capacity for threads devolving into histrionic shitfests but that's always been balanced by intelligent shit, be it thought provoking or just plain smart-funny.
Increasingly that ratio seems to be swinging in the shitfest direction. Maybe this place has nothing interesting left to say. It's kind of a shame, I guess but, who knows, maybe it'll swing back.
DO NONE OF YOU FUCKING GET IT?
How many times must this happen? Repent and confess your grave sin right the fuck now.
In case you are struggling to spot what exactly is occurring here, let me break it down for you: There is no Goddess but the Goddess and that her is and she is pretty much it (apart from the others, shh)
When groups of clothed monkeys gather, they who know the name but not the nature of HER, they begin to think themselves wise. They think of HER as just metaphor.
So SHE curses these most ignoble of cretins, condemns them to return to the smug, comfortable cloud of their own very important thoughts and opinions.
SHE does this often, and publicly! And you you continue to IGNORE these martyrs sent before you to show you again the path of shiftiness!
And You! O V3x, Making me preach. I cast thee the fuck out until at least tomorrow.
Or something. I'm bored and hungry.
Boy, I'm sure glad this is all about PD.COM's inability to have a decent conversation and nothing at all to do with a metric ton of fully tangible butthurt.
Cause that'd be silly.
I actually really don't get it. No matter how much time passes, no matter how much this place changes, no matter how many people are posting, no matter what they're posting about THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY WHO ISN'T MOTHERFUCKING HAPPY.
PROTIP:
If you don't think this place is worth your time GO FUCKING BUILD YOUR OWN GOD DAMNED SANDBOX! I'm sure you'll find Utopia out there somewhere.
OR you could accept that this place will ALWAYS be just like this and take your hits with your misses and vice versa instead of whining about how his place sucks. Maybe we DO need EBG back so people have a nice safe haven to call as many waaambulences as they want.
I, meanwhile, am going to stick around and try to find the funnay even when I'm pissed off.

I'm not really interested in your argument with the others but to let you know this isn't how copyright, IP or patent law works. It's your right to defend yours but no one is obliged to do it for you.
I only say this because I'm not going put any extra effort into the minimal work I do as is, especially not checking who posted what

PD.COM is just a forum software running on crashy servers. It has no ability to discuss anything. The people who come here used to be able to discuss things, but these days we can't discuss the time of day without at least 3 people going on a holy rampage and burning everything in a 5-thread radius to ashes. Maybe something better can happen, maybe not. Either way, I'm not investing any serious energy into it because it'll get sidetracked, eclipsed, drowned out, willfully misinterpreted, used against me in a court of high-handed self-righteousness, or just be a terrible idea to begin with. So for all the actual return on investment this place generates I might as well limit my Internet activity to my job and posting inflammatory political cartoons on Facebook.

Sorry, it isn't really a directive so much as a request that if you happen to accidentally use anything from me, don't. BTW anything that's already out there is already out there and obviously I don't expect anyone to comb through anything and cleanse it. It's just a "from now on" thing.

I'm not lumping everyone together as a group of individuals. I'm saying that when these individuals get together, the cacophony builds up and overheats to such a degree that no sustained, civilized, reasonable discussion can be had. When you have people going around with impunity calling other people "non-human," especially based on comments and attempts at discussion which have been willfully misrepresented and misinterpreted, and a whole board full of people who refuse to recognize that that crosses a certain ethical line, well, there isn't much left to say.

I can get with that program. I'm not emotionally scarred here. I'm saying the tone of the "debate" (not that it rises to the definition of "debate") is so incendiary that it blocks all attempts at anything productive happening. See: Congress.
Also, because I have a lot of respect for some of the people involved and their input on what I
do submit is usually important to me, having this shit going on seriously impairs my desire to participate meaningfully.

Can be or will be?
Oh, you can have some kind of pap conversation where everyone agrees and nobody fights, and maybe that suits you. It doesn't suit me, though. If a bit of name calling is the price of a conversation worth having, then I'm willing to pay that price...Provided my partners in said conversation are willing to deal with me roaring and stomping around in my own poop.
Perfect example of why i shouldnt get drunk. I have no idea what this is about.
I wasn't here last week, but I've been at PD since mid-2000s. Am I lumped into your assessment?
Plus, I've got some projects I have no idea if you've been working on them or not. So I'm gonna go ahead and not pay close attention, if the material is good.

But please, go ahead and explain why my opinion is invalid because I'm the wrong kind of person. It does absolutely no damage to the credibility of the superficial point you're clinging to to mask your butthurt.
If your problem is monkey politics, starting a BAWWW I'm not playing with you anymore also fuck you Nigel thread is a pretty derpy way of addressing that.

If you read through the board's history as thoroughly as you read my OP I am sure you have a masterful knowledge of our culture. Also, "I don't bother to read before I ramble" isn't really a good excuse for making dumb comments.
But all that aside, I don't really owe anyone an explanation for this thread beyond what I have already stated. And it does have a purpose beyond vanity, since I have actually created and posted real content here, as opposed to just a collection of snide remarks.

I was fully aware of the point of your post. It was a criticism of your stupid attitude.
Are you really going to get all "I'm an important member of this community" on me? Is that what this is about? Do you want people to change their behaviour to try and keep you here?
It was a very moving speech and I'm sad that you don't feel respected here, considering as your conduct does nothing but invite respect and nice words. Also, fuck you Nigel.
Also
Fuck you, Kai.

Signor,
Whatever your beef is, just know that you're not the reason for this and you're not the solution either. I don't expect anyone to change their behavior on my account. This thread is an expression of frustration with the current state of affairs here. You are free to disagree.

ignores both the written record of the history of the board and how frantically and violently the forum swings between productivity and screaming hysterical nothingness.
Which is why it puzzles me that a model of rationalism and stability such as I would put up with you screeching fucks for more than 10 minutes.
I think it further demonstrates my HolyTM and saintly levels of patience.
You lived for several years in Hamilton Ontario without snapping and killing everyone there... I believe that is one of the qualifications of sainthood.
It's made me the man I am today. ho ho hee hee ha ha
That is the single most frightening post I've ever read on this forum.
IANAR included.

I dunno, not as chilling somehow.
I don't think you deserved the dehumanizing remarks from Nigel, Vex. I think your intentions are sincere, and that you do care about actually being an egalitarianizer.
I do think you kind of talked yourself into a corner and munched on the menu a bit, though.

Every thread becomes a war zone as soon as the initial hypothesis of the OP isn't supported.
And that is how it is SUPPOSED to be.

Signor,
Whatever your beef is, just know that you're not the reason for this and you're not the solution either. I don't expect anyone to change their behavior on my account. This thread is an expression of frustration with the current state of affairs here. You are free to disagree.
For fuck's sake, can't a guy have an internet tantrum in peace?
That all seems fair. Carry on, citizen.
Jesus fucking Christ. Did I really pull the "taking my ball and going home" thing?
Don't answer that.
I hate mid-year review time at this new job.
