Bells
There there Wanderer. It's ok child. I'm sure if you suck up enough they'll let you back into their den. You could try taking in a sacrificial lamb/member and laying it at their feet? Possibly shoot yourself in one nut to show that you do love the pain?
Weird coincidence: I was planning to write a little something on pain/suffering.
But my way in is not my concern here. I’m more interested in unravelling this little web of deceit and witnessing the full glory of Forum life.
From an anthropological/sociological standpoint, like I said.
Call it field work.
But this love connection thread? Ermm what can I say?... Well nothing really. I just have a hard time picturing you as the smarmy host or go between trying to get any desperados together. Actually, the image brings a smile of fright to my lips.
I decided to put on these clothes for a while and only for this thread.
Just for fun.
If you think about it, what else is this place good for, other than for a laugh and a smirk?
It’s not like any issues are really discussed. Most threads always result in name-calling and juvenile war of words. No real consequences are looked for, no practical applications to knowledge, no real world associations, no results, no real interactions, only a continuous cynical merry-go-round of venting where the real motives are hidden behind mountains of words and avalanches of thread.
When in Rome....
And can I ask, how do you possibly know that some ermmm members are PM'ing each other? Why would you even want to know? Please tell me that you haven't stooped so low as to looking 'who's online' so that you can spy on people?
Yes, I admit I look at who’s on-line from time to time. It’s my weakness.
But we’ve already established that I’m a loser so let’s proceed on topic.
The thing is I don’t know if they are ‘pm’ing’ each other.
That’s what makes it so much fun. Trying to figure things out using clues and observation. Like solving a mystery.
If it were not for that, this place would bore me to tears.
Mostly kids talking about girlfriends, taking dumps, favorite songs, exhibiting their personalities and talents, trying to define reality without experiencing it and through all that pretending they don’t care.
But if they wish to send hot little PM's to each other, more power to them I guess, although I honestly can't imagine how anyone can 'get their rocks off' through PM's. I must be a prude because I find the whole notion of getting hot and heavy with a keyboard to be in truth, distasteful... maybe it's just me.. abnormal?
Ah, here we are getting into the crux of the situation.
Individuals pretending to be one thing exhibit behaviors that belie the exhibition.
What we have here is a community of vicariously living entities. Artificial people, in artificial environments, creating artificial worlds for artificial purposes.
A symptom of western decadence, cynicism and insecurity and the result of an absence of purpose and inner stability.
Notice the total loss of hope, the absence of purpose, respect and focus.
Generation ‘X’ and ‘Y’ in all its glory. And right behind them generation ‘Z’.
I'd guess that it's always best to be a lovesick puppy/desperado in the privacy of a PM than in the public forum where the majority point and laugh. Ah nevermind. You're right, they should post it up so that we can all see. I feel like a laugh . Just kidding... In truth, I don't want to know... honest..
The thing is that if it remains hidden and discreet then there is no issue but in this case, I’ve noticed, there’s spillover into public view.
If you look carefully and wait for it long enough you will notice patterns of behavior, short ambiguous exposures of inner desires, subtle flirtation and threat; the full gamut of human animal interaction.
Have you noticed that there’s little actual conversation on topic in any thread? I got taken by it myself.
The thread, the subject becomes a catalyst an excuse to indulge in what the real motive is.
Most members don’t talk about issues or abstract subject so much as they are always talking about self and the other. Natural if you think about it, human beings are social creatures and so socializing takes precedence over all other concerns and interests.
