Better Than Discordia

With this new forum comes a feeling of dread, it's so soft and different. Also it reminds me of certain other forums which died before they were able to choke down a single gulp of filthy air.

I wrote something a while back about how Discordia has made me better, and I really failed to say what I wanted to say.

Discordia hasn't ever made me better then anyone else, it doesn't raise me up or but THEM down. Its only there for me, and me is what it made better.

I am a better person than the person I used to be, mostly because of this place and you jerks. Discordia made ME better, not me better than. I will always, always be grateful for that.

Also, I've been to other forums, they're all shittier than this place.

There, that's better.

Thats been my experience too Alty... Discordia seems to be about improving the subjective personal experience not flying over the unenlightened plebs with some belief that we're "better".

Maybe not better than them, just better at being us.

Discordia's made me a better person, mostly by challenging things I thought were true, and also by challenging things I thought were okay.

Hell, I learn something new every day, here, even if it has to be bashed through my skull with a cinder block.

Discordia's main thing for me has been the people.  It's exposed me to all of you, and others who have been all kinds of good influence.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:

When I read the PD, for me, it awakened something that was already there.  So, for me personally, it didn't make me better, it just made me aware of all of these great ideas and qualities I already had.  Which made be better suited to use them for good.  I became, armed with myself.

Please confirm my suspicions that you said this to yourself in complete seriousness. :lulz:
