Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

We don't have to start being nicer now do we? This fact can hardly have taken him by surprise. He wasn't unaware of this being the worst forum on the internets.

If people try to turn this place into a hippie love-fest, I will make it my personal mission to balance them out with as much vitriol and mindless rage as I can muster in my free time.

This makes me happy. It's reassuring to see a safe pair of hands on the tiller.

Of course on the opposite side to that in that people are leaving faster then they are being replaced and while being a dickhead to everyone around here is fun this place will become very stale when its the same ten people or less posting.

Cram will be back, its not just the mean factor that made him lose interest it looks like it was the repetition that did it. He just needs a change of scenery which I think we can all relate to.

People are busier with real life than they used to be, because real life has gotten more difficult. Everyone's working more, or going back to school, or whatever people do in uncertain and economically unpleasant times. I'm not convinced that it has anything to do with PD.com itself. My offhand sense of things is that those "same ten posters" happen to be the people who have the financial and social stability to withstand the current times without letting it make them change their routine (or whatever passes for it) much.

To be frank, I'm a lifer here because:

1.  As mentioned above, I can still manage it, and

2.  It's not fucking Tucson, it's not that Goddamn refinery, and it's not a town loaded with awful fucking Calvinists that make me want to start running random bastards over in the grocery store parking lot.

Ya know, all of those factors seem relevant.

I gotta say, I don't think "we" are any meaner now than we were two years ago. I think ECH nailed it.

And, as a horrible mean person, I'm also gonna say that I nailed it; PD.com is a board for bored white (however the fuck you define "white") middle class people, and that is a rapidly declining demographic.

I think this is a social problem. I'd like to talk about it. Can we talk about it without anyone being offended by the crassness of being called white? I think this is important, actually. I might even go so far as to say that we need people with the middle-class freedom to think about things.

Sounds reasonable enough to me.

I think we're quite a bit nicer.

THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF NIGEL KEEPING A BROTHER DOWN.  :crankey:
