What are we doing? - SPLIT

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Thread is now about Nigel.  Mission Accomplished.

Thread is now about Nigel.  Mission Accomplished.

What's new?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

And this thread asked for opinions and input, so I gave mine. Sorry it doesn't go along with the majority.

You gave your opinion. And it was disagreed with. It wasn't an attack against you, they just held a different opinion. If you don't want to contribute to this, that's okay. Then don't. Nothing wrong with that.

But if we want to contribute, that's our decision.

I'm not seeing anywhere that I'm telling people not to post their opinions, nor anywhere I'm pillorying them for expressing them.

If not to agree on an agenda, what is the goal?

The goal is to define what each individual involved has for an agenda, and set up a framework to help each other work towards those agendas.

Things are a little too robust, in a bad way, for an individual to make any measurable difference, these days.  Like one filthy old pervert once said, "Either we hang together, or we will surely hang apart."

Well, my agenda is that I'm against it.

That's fine. My agenda is different from yours, so don't mind if I don't follow it.

Is there a reason you think I would care?

No. I'm just pointing out that just because you're not interested in this doesn't mean some of us aren't.
You think for yourself, I'll think for myself. That's kinda one of the points of all of this, or so I thought.

Yep. And unless your agenda directly involves me, there's no particular reason for me to give a shit. Since you made a point of telling me about it, I thought there might be a reason you would think I'd care.

No. Just thought that needed pointing out. I think that's all we have to say to each other on the subject, and I'll go back to seeing whose agendas have commonalities, rather than differences, to mine.

Go for it, sport. No need to update me.

Interesting which people turn simple disagreements about whether banding together under a common agenda is a good thing into personal attacks.

I'm sure one of you can find a way to turn my non-personal disagreement into a derogatory statement about my sex life. That's always next, isn't it?

I'm waiting.

You just did that.

Here ya go.

Right. It's clear that we're failing you, and you expect more and better from us.

ATTN BORED MIDDLE-CLASS WHITE PEOPLE WHO NEED SOMETHING TO REBEL AGAINST:

I'm finding it hard to give a shit.

Seriously, this is what middle-aged men are rebelling against.

Wow.

Cut the bullshit, Nigel, you're doing this deliberately.

So, if we end up doing something that you don't want to do.  Don't do it.  There is no prerequisite, nor has their ever been one, to be part of this community AND participate in any projects or activities.  It's always been the case, and it's always been recognized that some people come here just to hang.  I don't think anyone has any problem with that.  But, nor should the people here to just hang have a problem if some of us do get together to work on projects.  Both can co-exist here.  They have for as long as I've been on this board.  

Right.

Opinion noted.  But if you aren't interested in what Roger is talking about, and you've already said your piece, why are you still here?

[Adios]

Roger, I'm done. I thought the shit was over, but I guess it never will be. See you at the bar.

[The Wizard]

Could we just get a thread split? This might take a while, and it'd be a shame to divert this thread from what it's trying to do.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Roger, I'm done. I thought the shit was over, but I guess it never will be. See you at the bar.

Yep.  

I should have known better, I really should have.

I'm not going to split my own thread. 

If one of the other admins will do it, that would probably help.

Well, I've been asked to help over there anyway. Give me something useful to do. Later, friend.

Admins?
