this is not intented as being snide or whatever, but i was surfing wikipedia on an unrelated interest and ran into warnocks dilemma and an external link

i just find it interesting on how a given past situation has been experienced by other forums

[Forsooth]

for me, i understand the post(s) and like them, but i don't have anything additional to contribute to it

and you can't just put mittens of everything

[President Television]

Usually, I have something to say but it's already been said by someone else. For me to post would be redundant.

I like to say "nice post" if nothing else. SOME feedback to show that I read and enjoyed it, even if I don't have commentary to add, or lack the time to add it. I also appreciate it when other people comment or mittens a post, because if I read it earlier and it's in my newscan later that day, I may have more to add after having mulled it over for a while.

This hits a bit of a nerve.  I know I get a little butthurt when I write a rant or a story, and watch it go plonk off the front page with a few dozen views and maybe one comment or two.  The impression that conveys is that whatever I wrote isn't really worth anyone's time.

I do understand the concerns people have written above.  I can only speak for myself, of course, but I don't want mittens or praise so much as participation.  A conversation, maybe.  We used to riff off of each other like mad bastards, and now it often feels like blogging.

Speaking of riffing, which one was the book depository thread that got riffed on a bit?

Thanks, Dok

i myself lately have enjoyed participating in aneristic illusions as of late, after a grueling 3 months of no computer and schoolwork

i have sometimes spent somewhat of an effort translating a big essay that was in spanish and changing the presentation format, and after 7 mittens and 50 views it sinks like the concordia

sure i feel some kind of silent undirected rage, but i know its mostly my own fault for sharing something i knew probably wasnt a major interest of others... then it feels weird when a troll thread gets 50 pages, but i know its easier to bash on a troll or "you are wrong" mode cz of all the emotional engagemnet etc

It's like we're trying to project the movie onto the scrap-filled editing room floor.....

No, it's more like we're projecting the film in the theater, but the theater's empty except for 6 hyperactive guys with LED flashlights.
