Out with the old.... in with the new......

I think it's funny to see people bitching about who's posting and who's not.

The way I see it, you can either bitch about what others are doing, or you can contribute what you like and try to steer the conversation the way you want.

You can certainly try to chase people away, some people will be chased away, others won't. You won't be able to influence who comes new to the board. Attempts to influence who posts and who doesn't is largely futile and beyond any single person's influence.

I see the mix and take it as it comes. Not everything is double rainbows and unicorn farts, but there are plenty of happy posters and plenty of grouchy fucks around.

I see lots of new people starting posts, and some old timers posting again. I think it's great and entertaining.

Other things get in the way. I know I'm not by myself in that. If I thought I had anything important to add, I'd make time to do it. Folks come and go but the board still seems to be running good.

Some of us are as familar as heat rash. We just don't have the same handles.

I jumped to eraps and someone had usurped my screen name. When I started here, I didn't check to see if my old one was available. It appears my old handle may be.

If so, I want to see both the rules saying I can't change my handle, as well as the Birth Certificate.

Like Marley, I like the non-drama threads. I tend not to post sometimes not because I'm afraid of being attacked, but because I know that if attacked I won't back down. There's too much real life drama. I thought the hobby was a place to escape the drama and stress. I remember feeling sorry for Still Looking. Poor guy was just trying to post reviews. I wish more new people would post but I don't see that happening until the attacks go away.

Perfect example. What about what I said is whining? I just said I prefer not to have any drama.

It was one thread. And like I said I won't back down when somebody starts something like what you and Sixx did. I'm never going to start any drama.

I beg to differ on that. You can talk about me all you want but why say that you told a provider that I'm a douche? Sounds pretty silly and creepy at the same time. Were you trying to get brownie points by telling her that?

First of all the lady in question was asking me if I knew a certain person was banned. That's how we got on the topic of people on the boards, Whisper's functions, etc... We talked about a lot of things prior to our session so don't get a big head and think we just talked about you. You were the topic for as long as it took to make that statement. And why should I care about getting brownie points? I'm paying for a session.

Seriously, let's grab a beer sometime. I have lots of hobby advice to give. Besides, you will see that I'm not a big douche in the real world just like I'm sure you are not as wussy as you seem.....

I have no doubt that you have a lot of advice. However I prefer to be anonymous. I would have introduced myself to Whispers, Metal Smith, and Rand if I wanted to hang with the boys.
