So, did anybody wind up killing Roger?

If I recall, we hated him.

Good heating it was too.

RWHN was on fire that night.

nobody has stopped being assholes. it just may be a matter of the rest of the forum ignoring it. or not.


on the other hand, i' ve never beeen there, but i'm guessing this forumis getting closer to the ideals of such assholery as a life style chocie to get out the furstrations of being middle to upper classed and emotionally sensitive americans in the vein of fc and others. this is how we fight the con. this is how we prove we're a part of the problem.


if you're part of the problem you're part of the solution. now let's break stuff like fred durst.

this post = brilliant.

[BADGE OF HONOR]

The awesome thing about reading old threads is I have exactly zero memory of anything I posted.  I mean, I can remember reading these threads but not replying to them.  It's just a small reminder that my recall is 100% crap. 

[LMNO]

Unfortunately, this thread reminds me I was just as much of a pretentious dickwad then as I am now.

[hooplala]

I didn't bother to read the whole thing again.  Is it worth it?

[LMNO]

Not really.  Unless you dig flashbacks of bad trips.

We used to be a community

We used to talk about how we felt.  We used to talk about everything.  We used to be able to.

We used to be diverse.  We used to have balance, yin and yang, order and disorder, light and dark, serious and humorous.  Magic and Mundane, Christian, pagan, heathen, Discordian, Erisian, Athiest, neopagan and people who defy description.  

We used to remember that a user name is attached to a person with a name, that pixels on the screen represent a person at a keyboard, we used to laugh and cry with each other, as well as bitching and moaning, kvetching and complaining.  

We used to have fun.  We used to be sillier, we used to be more serious.  It's not a contradiction, you need the silly for the serious and the serious for the silly.

Sometimes we all have to go where the yellow ball goes from here to there, and  the white ball follows or leads, as it waxes and wanes.  Where this mythical real world is.  Where there are jobs or not, family or not, homes, school, vacations, hobbies or not.  Where we speak to people, not with a keyboard, but with our lips, our eyes, the muscles of our face, our hands, the expressiveness of our voice, our hearts, our souls, our genitals, our minds.  

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.  Or, maybe this is just another myth.

Bump.

All this thread does is remind me how much I miss Vincent and how glad I am I never got caught in this maelstrom back in the day.

[AFK]

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.

So is this where the idea to rename the place No Exit (for a time) came from? 

[LMNO]

As far as I know.



I contend that the observation still holds true.

[Payne]

If I recall, we hated him.

BOOYAH!

OLD SKOOL WRATH!

ETA: I still LOL over the Little Boycram

[Cain]

Goddamn I hate Eldora.

I'm tempted to dump her posts from EB&G, explaining why it was "right" to ban me from Questing Spirits, for disagreeing with the admins, all over this thread, just to ruin her reputation in a more publically accessible forum.
