We used to be a community

[LMNO]

We used to be a group of people instead of a group of factions. There was this mythical, mystical time I have heard about, where Eris ran freely through the forum, causing mischief without pain, chaos without catastrophy, when words were used to teach, not injure. A time when people listened to their pineal gland, or at least some part of their brain. There were heros. There were villains. There was also community. There was a hippy trippy togetherness that was more than hippy or trippy. People cared about each other.

The above = sappy perky pagan site.

And has never applied to these forums.

I guess you missed the bolded sentence  

No, I didn't.  Looks like you missed the part where no one, except perhaps you, has ever, or will ever, want PD.com to be that way.

I doesn't matter if you called it a myth.  what matters is that you imply you wish it to be that way.

Eldora, I'm sorry to say it, but you probably should just have forgotten about this instead of posting it.

I didn't imply, you inferred.

And we have 2 people paying attention, yay!

I didn't imply, you inferred.

So, I draw three possible conclusions from ^ that.  All are either implicationson your part or inferences on my part, because you never actually state your desire in the OP.

1. you're implying that you don't want it to be that way.  Which it isn't.  So why are you posting this again?

2. you actually do want it to be this way, but after Verthaine's post, you don't want to admit it.

3. you have no point to make at all.  So why are you posting this again?


Maybe you could clear things up for all of us if you explicitly state the intention behind your OP.

I wantee to get an interesting discussiong going and it worked.  I wanted us to pull our heads out of our asses and that appears to have worked as well.  I wanted people to think and laugh, and 2 people so far got that, I have faith for the rest of you.

lamest post ever, including anything by Eric or cat~maxwell.

I love you El,but you silly silly woman.I'm hoping you meant faith in the rest of you(if so,you're a better entity then me .The only faith I have in the majority of humans is that they will probably do something real mean,stupid,or fucked up real soon.Probably within the next couple of posts).I am all in favor of getting interesting (and intelligent) discussions going.But to do that you need interesting and intelligent people.The Greyfaced harpies here have no interest in intellectual discussion.Only the opportunity to sharpen thier claws into some poor posters gut.Oh,and to preen their egos at everyone elses expense.We see it all the time here.You yourself can't post something here without someone calling you an insulting name within 5 posts.
I understand what you were trying to do here,but it'll take more then intelligent discussion to get some peoples heads out their asse here.It'll take a few sticks of dynomite to do that job.

And if you actually meant having faith for them,I say:"Fuck em! Let them get their own damn faith."

Is it just me, or does Eldora seriously have sand in her vagina lately? Sheesh.

The thing I have noticed is that in recent months much of the traffic on this site has been given over to trolling practice...which is fine, though somewhere along the way we found it more fun to troll each other than the rest of the world. Remember 'Troll: The Provoking?'




Kinda like shitting in your own cereal, really, to troll here where everyone knows the game.

this site = emo remover

Coming from you, it's basically shit-stirring.  From a neutral person, it might work, but some people have decided that they can't stand you, and will jump at any chance to disagree with you.

Besides which, your topic was both editorial and ambiguous.  How exactly are people supposed to respond as you hope, being as they are and not as you would like?

Intelligent discussion my ass.

[LHX]

was it madonna what sang that song about 'this used to be a playground'?

[LMNO]

Actually, I find this entire Forum reminds me of a much funnier version of Sartre's No Exit.


And that's not really a bad thing, IMO.
