QuoteAnd this thread asked for opinions and input, so I gave mine. Sorry it doesn't go along with the majority.
You gave your opinion. And it was disagreed with. It wasn't an attack against you, they just held a different opinion. If you don't want to contribute to this, that's okay. Then don't. Nothing wrong with that.
But if we want to contribute, that's our decision.
I'm not seeing anywhere that I'm telling people not to post their opinions, nor anywhere I'm pillorying them for expressing them.

If not to agree on an agenda, what is the goal?
The goal is to define what each individual involved has for an agenda, and set up a framework to help each other work towards those agendas.
Things are a little too robust, in a bad way, for an individual to make any measurable difference, these days. Like one filthy old pervert once said, "Either we hang together, or we will surely hang apart."
Well, my agenda is that I'm against it.
That's fine. My agenda is different from yours, so don't mind if I don't follow it.
Is there a reason you think I would care?
No. I'm just pointing out that just because you're not interested in this doesn't mean some of us aren't.
You think for yourself, I'll think for myself. That's kinda one of the points of all of this, or so I thought.
Yep. And unless your agenda directly involves me, there's no particular reason for me to give a shit. Since you made a point of telling me about it, I thought there might be a reason you would think I'd care.
No. Just thought that needed pointing out. I think that's all we have to say to each other on the subject, and I'll go back to seeing whose agendas have commonalities, rather than differences, to mine.
Go for it, sport. No need to update me.

Thread is now about Nigel. Mission Accomplished.
What's new?
Interesting which people turn simple disagreements about whether banding together under a common agenda is a good thing into personal attacks.
I'm sure one of you can find a way to turn my non-personal disagreement into a derogatory statement about my sex life. That's always next, isn't it?
I'm waiting.

Well, my agenda is that I'm against it.
So, if we end up doing something that you don't want to do. Don't do it. There is no prerequisite, nor has their ever been one, to be part of this community AND participate in any projects or activities. It's always been the case, and it's always been recognized that some people come here just to hang. I don't think anyone has any problem with that. But, nor should the people here to just hang have a problem if some of us do get together to work on projects. Both can co-exist here. They have for as long as I've been on this board.
Right.
And this thread asked for opinions and input, so I gave mine. Sorry it doesn't go along with the majority.
Opinion noted. But if you aren't interested in what Roger is talking about, and you've already said your piece,
why are you still here?
Roger, I'm done. I thought the shit was over, but I guess it never will be. See you at the bar.
Could we just get a thread split? This might take a while, and it'd be a shame to divert this thread from what it's trying to do.

I'm not going to split my own thread.
If one of the other admins will do it, that would probably help.

As I said, your opinion was already noted, and I assume it will be included in the thread when it is split, however your public BAAAAAH will probably not.

First quote was in response to this thread. Second and third were because of the rant that inspired this thread.

Think I've got it all, if not I'm going to bed soon anyway, so someone else will have to get the rest. Maybe.
Thanks, Cain.
For the record, here are my three horribly offensive posts ITT that were, apparently, not expressing an opinion, but a twunty grab for attention. Glad I was able to provide a suitable target for today's dogpile. Fuck you.

It's hard for me to decide whether to ignore this thread or tear it apart. :horrormirth: It pretty thoroughly represents everything that I'm against.
I'm Cramulus' nemesis for a reason. I resent any attempt to "bring us together" or find a common agenda outside of the spontaneous trolling zeitgeist that happens periodically on its own when a bunch of people think collaboration sounds fun.
The thing is, following is easy. Once an agenda is decided, people feel free to turn off their critical thinking and just go with the program. I've spent my entire life fucking with what people think they know, with only one goal in mind; to make people think. Whether they like it or not. So I can't participate in any agenda that sets an agenda other than my own, which I won't tell you.
All of us, regardless of race or income, fall into the category of bored middle-class white people. The luxury of agreeing on an agenda, the luxury of HAVING an agenda, on the Internet no less, is the domain of bored middle-class white people.
Bored middle-class white people who have agreed on an agenda are the most dangerous animal on the planet.

Well, my agenda is that I'm against it.
I think people are overreacting to you Nigel.
I don't see what is so hard about scrolling past your comments if they're so incensed by them and want to keep things "constructive."
I should have, you are completely right.
