I think that everyone's a little more complicated than that, and that whether people stay here or leave here, it isn't quite so black and white or categorical.

Some people probably leave because they don't have that much free time and don't want to deal with any more bullshit drama than they have to. This place is full of fragile egos and that leads inevitably to bullshit drama, categorical thinking, and shunning.

OMG I CANT BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT I'M LEAVING FOREVER *flounce*

In all seriousness, I hope Alty and Roger can sort this out or at least discuss it at some point.  This kind of thing always leaves a bad taste in my mouth, which is I don't often post in threads like this.

Yesterday we were both too mad to talk.

And he's either ignored me or shut off his FB account.  And out of respect to his wishes in his last PM to me at FB, I have erased his phone number.

So I don't know how that would happen.  Which is a damn shame.

Yeah, I thought as much.  Hopefully something will happen.  I think at this point, Alty just need some time.

He's not the only one.  I am still steaming mad.  Just not like I was yesterday.

I'm not mad, because his life is much more shitty and stressful right now than mine. People overreact in those circumstances.

Alty, if you read this, the "but" was a transition to explaining why *I* had fucked up.  I am not a very good person, and apparently I am not a very good friend. 

That's all I have left to say.

He has my number, and I told him to text me if he needs someone to blow up on.
Hopefully he'll bite.

I am also going to state that this was on rails, in my opinion.  It was inevitable.

WHY this is, is a little complicated.  I need to find the right way to say it, it has only just occurred to me and I don't know really how to explain it yet.  Tomorrow.

Here's what I mean:

The long-time users who have left PD all have one thing in common.  NOTE:  I am not comparing them to one another as people in total, just stating that they all seem to have one thing in common.

They went and found something to Champion.  A uniform, if you like.  Garbo had the transgender thing, RWHN had the drugs issue, Charley and Khara found Jesus in the person of an alcoholic Australian lady, Kai found HIS Cause in keeping the hem of his academic robe from being soiled by the masses, etc.  In most cases, they ran off and found an echo chamber.  tumblr for some, that Google page for RWHN, etc.

In this case, of course, it was a tumblr page about how rotten thin people are.

Now, the people that have stayed also have something in common.  We're all junkies of one kind or another.  I have become addicted to power (and benzos), which is why I can't seem to get around to quiting this awful job.  P3nt is addicted to huffing P3nt, Cain is addicted to international politics (which is a pretty awful vice), LMNO to the concept of Saturday Night, etc.

On one hand, people who got comfy in their freshly-painted and colorful prison cells, and on the other hand, people just damaged enough to keep looking at the cells and seeing the bars.
And I'm an alcoholic addicted to self-pity and self-hatred. (I was feeling left out)

I just keep a medium distance in respect to the board, has been working out pretty well so far. If Februarytm blooms, i just try to ignore it or stop visiting for a while; if theres a Drug threadtm i just take note on whats going on in general, try to make a reasonable point, but i dont get down and dirty in the mud.

I can keep this distance (and it kind of naturally follows) from geolocation while the contrary applies to the rest of anglo members... i dont have a reasonable expectation to meet any of you in real life, while in between yourselves there probably is, so that influences the way you all interact... more intimate and more friendship, but then theres also shitfests and drama, but i think they are kind of unavoidable in the Internet.

Agreed, I worry people think I'm standoffish but it is just personal privacy as far as I'm concerned. Now when drama kicks off I walk out, simply because I don't have the time I did when I was a student.

Internet drama is where debate meets roleplay.

We are interacting with real people, yes, but there are only certain crossovers and parallels with IRL interaction

After a point the comparison breaks down

You can't throw punches on the internet

You don't have to leave a physical space to get away from someone, etc...

But a lot of it feels just like IRL and we want to be able to do things we'd do in IRL like not talking to people and leaving the room and playing our petty little monkey games

So we pretend.

And I don't give a fuck what anyone says - it's hilarious  :lulz:
