I haven't been back for long, but it looks as though it has calmed down in the intimidation category alot since my first days on the board. I think the adoption program helped in that area, but there were definately some people that i avoided like the plague. I must say though it was never bad unless you really brought it on yourself by not following the rules. I would say overall most people on the board were helpfull if you just asked them instead of posting something stupid.

Yes Magus I am being honest. The reason being is.. ya never know what BM you are going to get.. the one that bust ballies in good fun, the one with the sreious side, or the down and out prick he knows he can be. Thats why I mainly stay away from him accept for the FU BUTTMUNCH thing. Like I said outside the board, we have had some very good conversations, but ya just never know what your gonna get on the board. But ya know what, you can say that about almost every single poster on the board.

There was a time that I HATED BM but that was becasue of something that does not need to be rehashed, and he and I spoke about it at the X-mass party (one of the conversations I am talking about), but I never lost my respect for him as a member of this board. He was here before me, and i remember when he was not a mod and was just on the lose. I guess I am still stuck in my newbie days when it comes to him.

Seriously? When Gonzostyle put his arm around me at the Hooters party, I knew that if he wanted me, I would be unable to do anything to stop him.


KNOW YOUR DOPE FIEND. YOUR LIFE MAY DEPEND ON IT! You will not be able to see his eyes because of Tea-Shades, but his knuckles will be white from inner tension and his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim. He will stagger and babble when questioned. He will not respect your badge. The Dope Fiend fears nothing. He will attack, for no reason, with every weapon at his command--including yours. BEWARE. Any officer apprehending a suspected marijuana addict should use all necessary force immediately. One stitch in time (on him) will usually save nine on you.

I always look forward to BM's replies. In fact, there are times when I post things just to see what he will come back with.

I don't feel uncomfortable posting around anybody. I have never and will never avoid a thread based on who started it or who is posting in it.


I believe in the Faith... that can save me.
I believe in the hope and I pray...

Magus, you, you INSPIRE me!

As far as anylyzing why, when, and how people perceive each other, I personaly feel like that takes all the fun out of it. But that is just my opinion.

However, by seeing some of the posts in this thread, I know I was right about other issues, not directly related to this thread, that I have given considerable thought about over time. And for that, this thread was all worth it.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

What the hell are you talking about? If you're actually intimidated or look up to someone on an messageboard, and an OA mesage board, get out more. Sorry, but you guys are fucking hysterical with how serious you take this shit.


And why is it, that every three or so weeks, you have a thread or two relating to how bad things are, or who hates who etc. It's like Big Brother here. I guess you'll drop dead if someone here doesn't like you, huh Magus?

Well now Smarterchild...
At what point did I
A: Say I hated this place?
B: Ask if people liked me or hated me?

hmm.. nope.... I DIDN'T.. in fact, I didn't ask about hate or friendship at all.. I asked other member's which posters might inspire them with AWE

awe Pronunciation Key (ô)
n.
A mixed emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired by authority, genius, great beauty, sublimity, or might: We felt awe when contemplating the works of Bach. The observers were in awe of the destructive power of the new weapon.
Archaic.
The power to inspire dread.
Dread.


I was merely curious and looking to examine other people's opinions in relation to posters on this board...
You can learn alot by listening to someone else's opinion, you should try it sometime.
And I won't even START on the legitimacy of message board's and the written word in a social context.

I'm intimidated by the "Fan Submissions" forum.

You tell me that I'm better, You just hate yourself
You tell me that you like her, You just wish you did
You tell me that I make no difference, Well at least I'm fucking trying

with the advent of interpersonal communique via the web, you can no longer that line of "go get a life"...b/c more and more, it has become an element of life, whether you like it or not. And it changes our ability to and to be in contact with other people. It is becoming a firm fixture, the stuff on it more and more of a reality. So, Smarter, stuff like "taking it too seriously", well that does happen...but then again, if people start commiting tangible things in their lives, it automatically inflates to something much deeper and more complex. Which, I think touches on the very observation and question Magoo is asking. Personalities and the way people conduct themselves are affecting our perceptions, and always are creating social interactions. It'll depends on how much one invest to it...whether they are the affector or the affectee. So, it comes down to these people acting and/or reacting b/c of their emoptional investment...and therein lies the very problem and issue truly at hand with this board.

How is a nessage board social interaction? Do you actually meet up with people on a message board? Do you log off thinking "I wonder if she'll give me her phone number?"

A message board is text on a screen. And so, I can't help but laugh at the thought of being intimidated by a member or worrying about how they percieve you. I always thought Upuauaut was a riot, but you guys were actually shit scared of him, a screen name and nothing more.

OK.. a message board.. IE text.. has no social value?

What about the Declaration of Independence? or the Constitution? All merely "text" upon which our "society" is founded.
Through the years text has always been a viable social forum.. couples who never met would share letters, fall in love, and get married.. ALL OVER TEXT..
People develop friendships that last a lifetime with pen pals...
No.. I've gone over this argument enough times.. quite simply, if you don't find legitimate value in a message board then why are you here in the first place? Any answer you give will place legitimacy and show your hypocrasy, so either fess up or leave, instead of blatantly ridiculing those who are at least honest about it.
And the fact that you mention Upuauat with familiarity begs me to wonder.. what was your other screenname? Why the need to hide behind a false one?
Either a: you were banned, b: You forgot your password, or C: you're not brave enough to risk your reputation on a "message board" to post as yourself.

In any case.. I'm in no mood for this argument, I've gone through it enough times.. you feel we're wasting our opportunities at a "real life" by posting, fine.. go enjoy your "real life" and leave us alone.. but even if you choose not to... stay out of my thread if you're not going to contribute to the topic.

Actually, yes. Alot of people here have become very close friends, and do speak to each other outside of the board. On the Phone, at a bar, I have made a few friends here that I know I will have for a long time,and I don't mean PC friends.
