So I've been gone for a little over a week and...

[hunter s.durden]

this place seems to be turning into a den of militant moral relativism. If I had thought for one minute that PD.com would turn into a giant circle-jerk of self-justification and rampant apologia for some of humanity's most reprehensible behavior (under the guise of "protecting the rights" of those who would seek to strip the rights of anyone different from themselves)

I interpreted this as an indictment against how nice we were being.
Dissent and strife are great catalysts for new ideas and changes.

Also, all the backbiting bullshit. Maybe its just Hunter coming back that makes us think we should all troll each other. I don't know. Its all been done before. When I see threads turn that way I keep the hell out of them, even if it is popcorn, because it's popcorn covered with bullshit garnished with untreated sewage and fail.

Are you simply implying that I inspired whatever it is you are seeing, or did I do something specific?

i think it's something before you arrived...nothing to do with you

but then again
Im completely clueless on what is going on here
I'm like Cram I guess in enjoying my conversation with Rat and the few debates I was involved in outside apple talk
though I will admit I've missed probably 2/3's of the threads going on here

Yes but this has just turned into pointless bickering over non-issues

And they also make things a hell of a lot more interesting.

WHAT? What has? I notice one set of bickering (mine), hardly worth a thread and people taking time off.
WTF is everyone talking about?

[Pariah]

I don't know we've been bickering for a while after the DK incident and stopped recently. I think everyone's afraid it will happen again.

[fomenter]

pointless bickering is par for the course and a non issue,
i want to know where "this place seems to be turning into a den of militant moral relativism."
this is something worth looking into and correcting if it is a problem...

[Richter]

If we weren't before, we are now.   

[Cain]

I don't know if it's a recent development or if it just required a more removed perspective to see, but...

That's just, like, you know, your opinion and stuff, man.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

I don't understand 

[bds]

Having just taken a coupla days off from PD, I have to say I haven't been here nearly as much as I was before. I can kinda pin that down to IRL stuff, but frankly, I just can't be arsed to read through countless pages of endless drama.
So, I'm with Kai. Maybe we should all take a break for a few days. Or, at the very least, just go take a walk in the country. Clear your head for a bit.

I decided to take a week or two off.  Then I came back and looked at the threads on the front page of Apple Talk....and I think I'll try again some other time.  Seriously.  I know this is the fluff board, but for fuck's sake.  Just look.  I think my main issue is shit like this:  http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=20296.0

Either we have an absolute glut of mildly retarded new users, or regulars are chewing on paint chips (IP in this case is a proxy, so it's impossible to tell) and deciding to be HILARIOUS by doing the same shit that's been done every year since 2004...ie, "trolling" each other.  Now, it may just be me, but this was really only funny the FIRST 6 MILLION FUCKING TIMES IT WAS DONE.

PD has it's creative times, and it's not-so-creative times.  The only difference is, this time, I haven't got the fucking patience to deal with garbage like this:  http://www.principiadiscordia.com/forum/index.php?topic=20274.0  which I could get at fucking MYSTICWICKS, if I was so inclined.  So I'm with ECH.  If you guys need moderating, etc, I will be stopping in once a day (or two days at the latest) to check on things.  But I'm sure as fuck not going to bother putting up any new work in THIS climate.  I can piss myself off far easier, in more amusing ways - should I need my blood pressure up - than by opening a thread I put a lot of work into, just to see it filled by pinealist shit by fuckwads that think they're being "Discordian".

See you when I re-grow my sense of perspective.

[Iason Ouabache]

SRSLY, what the fuck is happening?  This place isn't allowed to die, dammit!   

[Rumckle]

Meh, slow news week?
