OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

[The Good Reverend Roger]

He said:

I mostly just meant that there were several people on IRC who said things to the effect of "well, you kind of have a point, but your tone was absurd, and to post on PD telling everyone that they're doing it totally wrong is just trolling'.

About forum software.  AND.  AND.

Like, I think maybe there is an interesting discussion to be had somewhere about different kinds of forum software and different discordian communities and such, but obviously just going LOL UR DOIN IT RONG is a dick move.

Given the original context and subject of the thread whose sentiments several people agreed with, the bolded section isn't exactly the Voynich manuscript, if ya dig.

What I'm getting is that there are Discordians here, who don't seem to mind the shenanigans.  And there are Discordians who were formerly here, that feel that myself and a few others ruin fucking everything.

And this is what Discordianism has come to mean to me over the last few years:  What horrible shit I am responsible for THIS TIME.  I doubt I am the only "culprit", but I do know that the stress levels in my life are affecting my health, and this shit suddenly isn't reducing those levels, but raising them.

Several people I liked and used to hang with have once again decided the same old same old.  And I don't even know who they are.

Fuck this.

I'm not saying this to be flippant or dismissive, but why do you care what they think? I sure as fuck don't.

They can't take a joke. And you know how that line goes.

I was having a very bad day at work.  I no longer care.

I can't say I wasn't expecting something like that, but I was not expecting the manufacturer to get into the mix.

I can't take much more of this failure and degradation.

You've got to get out of there.

"Jeff my good man, if you were so inclined, how would you fuck up a vehicle beyond all repair and have the problem remain undetectable?"
"I'm not sure Junkie, why ever would you ask?"
"Let's not concern ourselves with the details and focus on the problem at hand shall we?"
"Well if it were me, I'd drain the oil, run it until seizing and then refill the oil"
"Excellent. I would like you to do that very thing to that pickup over there"
"Why?"
"Let's not ask questions Jeff"
"OK, consider it done"

There are times, not many, but there are times when this job is nearly enjoyable.

Wow.

Yeah, I do.  Actively looking for another job as of today.

You know, my life is pretty fucking stressful.  Between work and home issues, etc, there's not a lot of tether left at the end of the day.

So when BDS informs me that "several people" at IRC, people I thought were friends, think Monad had "good points" but merely worded them badly, then all of a sudden Discordianism is now a stressor and not a stress-reliever.  Now all I know is that "several people" at IRC think that the regulars, myself included, are the next fucking thing to Martin Bormann.

And I can't take any more fucking stress.  I really can't.

So I'm thinking that maybe I should just leave Discordianism to the people who think the hot dog joke is still funny.

I'm going to be honest here, because I know you wouldn't have it any other way.

In my opinion, your stress level is clouding your reasoning, and you are blowing that comment out of proportion and engaging in an extreme version of black-and-white thinking.

I'm pretty sure BDS was referring to the discussion about new forum software, not that we are all horrible people.

I mean, we are horrible people, but that's different.

Also this.

Ugh, i hate the "lots of people agree with me that you are X" bit. It is double cowardice, first the accuser apparently needs a posse to feel tough enough to open his mouth and secondly once the mouth has opened it won't name names. IF YOU WEREN'T GOING TO NAME NAMES YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MENTIONED THEIR OPINION AT ALL! Jeez, you can't retroactively start respecting your posse's privacy after you used their consensus to bolster your position. That is just a dick move against the accused as well as against your posse.

"maybe there is an interesting discussion to be had somewhere about different discordian communities" is not exactly accusation.

Happens to the best of us.  I usually read threads backwards, which is a pain in the ass ANYWHERE but HERE.

I read the whole thread, in case there's new information, but then I forget what I wanted to say to the older posts.
