the long road to nowhere is only an on-ramp to the masturbation superhighway

I like Vex quite a bit, when he's not bitching about pointless shit that will never change.

This.

6 hours.  Not bad for a first attempt.

I mind him.  Recently, anyway.  He thinks like a rabid ape, and he takes special joy in belittling people and their ideas as much as is possible.  He's become a hateful little shit, and I for one, won't miss him.

So are you flouncing or trying to bore people to death?  

I don't understand why you're bitching. I don't see (and I looked) where you've made much effort to stop the stagnation that it appears only you can see.

There is no stagnation. I'm not bitching or blaming. Read edit.

Nice you edit your total douche post and make it look like you are just too good and kind for PD is that it?


My favorite part, the only person you respond too is the fucking n00b. Do you think to warn me away? Scare me off? Or do you just not have the fucking balls to give the regular established members shit?


Just because I'm new to PD doesn't mean I haven't been down the god damned rabbit hole.


Don't think your shit doesn't stink just because you walk upright.

I think I like this n00b.

Also, I should have quoted the OP because it's total bullshit when someone completely alters their OP into something else entirely after people have already responded.

I was a little shocked by that, myself.  Then I looked at the title, and realized that I didn't need to read the original OP, because I already knew what it was going to say.

And I'd like to take a moment to say a very special "Fuck you" to Vex.  I am sure Payne would agree.

Edited to clarify intent:


I admire everything about this board, and appreciate everything it represents and everyone who has managed to become a part of it. You are all outstanding individuals. But after more than four years of trying, it is clear that there is a permanent disconnect between me and this board. I have always been here as a spectator, not a participant. I wish you all good luck and happy adventures in whatever you choose to do.

moo??

Vex you've posted some of the best stuff on this site. You are one of the sharpest people here.

I don't see this "permanent disconnect", nor your impression that you're a spectator, not a participant.


I guess I'm saying that I don't really understand your reasons for leaving
     -though I can understand wanting to leave-
and that I don't want you to go.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I think Net might be closest to having his finger on what's going on, there, in which case I hope Vex gets himself sorted out and happy soon.

my thoughts.

Vex don't be vexed, there's enough gasm to go around for everyone

[Cramulus]

Vex, every time I see your sig I get frustrated with myself that I haven't been using spagbook as much. It's exactly the right idea, I think it needs a good push though.

I'm serious man, I'm not just buttering you up. Off the top of my head: the Big Mag EULA, Support the Troops, the SSOOKN FIELD SURVIVAL HANDBOOK... I included so much of your stuff in the Etc. Discordia because I love your brain and its style. It'll be a shame if you vanish from this place, in my mind you were one of the posters that set the proper tone when I was first getting invested here.



edit to add:
and WHO CARES about the social dynamic?

Put your shit out there, concentrate on the feedback loops associated with that content, don't sweat the haters or the spags. I often think that this community is better used as a tool than as some kind of social mixer.

[East Coast Hustle]

It is a rather large toolbox, to be sure.

I wanted to see the original OP 

[tyrannosaurus vex]

the original OP was a terrible attempt at stream-of-consciousness metaphorical blubbering. it was deleted rightfully, although it wasn't intended as the insult some people decided to take it as. but that's them, i can't help how they feel. i can only help how i feel, and today i choose to feel better. not necessarily more participant than spectator, but whatever.

I still choose to hate you for it.

Whatever.
