What do you all like most about this forum?

Eeyore is in hog heaven today...he has a woman responding to him without direct financial compensation involved.

But I said I am playing a male now! I think it was in point number six but it doesn't matter. 6 is still a good number no matter what I said there. I think I have 6 drinks by now, btw.

Feeling good. ;)

My apologies, um, sir. ;)

Now you are getting into the role. If you post as a different sex (we could even post as different creatures of all sorts including aliens!) you just start to expand the ways you reply and process things, no?

I think we as people could learn more about each other that way and more about ourselves as well.

You might get on well with Query. He has similar reasons for using alts - to help him explore personas/personae.

I am a multitude in myself, so I feel no need for alternative versions.

You are a multitude in yourself.
This I do not deny.
I do not and have not used any other username here than Mayflow
for all my multiplicity is still me.

ps what is your username meaning? Is it something like that which is essential or maybe quintessential?

Des Esseintes.
 
I am sure we are. Eyer doesn't count - he hates everyone except a mythical, long-departed Canadian nymph.

I barely remember him but I pop back in to lit and he is all over the gb, and as it seems to me, trying a little too hard to be a meanie? What's that about then?

Oh don't worry next time yo pop in nothing will have changed. The certainty of this place is what brings people comfort. hehe
 
You are a one to like reading? Here is a book I freakin' LOVE! Somewhere in the middle the guy does something like your Jean-Des-Esseintes - but moves on into a quite higher and more enlightened state. I think it is an awesome book. I read it as a kid in gradeshool and loved it, but just more lately since I have been studying Buddhist Philosophy, and the meanings deepen for me, http://philosophy.lander.edu/oriental/siddhartha.pdf

Yes, another friend recommended Siddhartha to me recently, and I did enjoy it. But I prefer The Glass Bead Game.

As for Eyer - I am far too new to be able to guess who his lost paramour might be, or to remember what he was like before his heart was broken. But he is a fascinating case study in misanthropy.
