C.U.I.L=== Cybering Under the Influence.

[FlamingoBlue]

One of the games I play is to try and figure out whether any of you is real. As far as I recognize, the only real people on this BB are Me, Sparky, Siren, Lavender, Miles, p-p-man, Killer Muffin, Marxist, and a few others (less than 20). That's it!! The rest of you are guilty of C.U.I.L. You're a figment of your own imagination!!

This is fantasy land. Nothing, except when we say it's so, is real here. The reason is that we lack any responsibility. Think about it. What's the worst thing that can happen to you here?? I mean, think about it.

Knock yourselves out if you want to. Think about whether you would ever act the way you do in real life as you do here. Come the fuck on!!! You would likely be fired, in the hospital from the beating you got,divorced from a relationship or in jail.

I'm having so much fun, now!!! I am exceptionally happy. I am in love with life again!!!!

fondly,

blue

What?

Might as well put me in your list, then. I haven't said anything here that I haven't said to someone at some time in my life either. Though I may not be as frequently a flirt, I deflinitely flirt just that hard and voice my opinions just as openly.

And as for my sexual proclivities...well...they don't come from the thin air. It's all stuff I've either done or want to do (and the things I want to do I've actually discussed with folks in person, too).

So there!

 

[sch00lteacher]

It may have been a mistake to make this a list thread. I mean I would be very offended to NOT be included in this list. I am sure there are others who will feel the same way.

I do my best to be as honest as possible on this board. I usually keep my mouth shut when I know that a reply will piss someone off. Not always though.

MM fucked up. We know others who post under two, three, or more names. Can't fool a teacher, we pick up on writing styles very quickly.

I did like the title to the thread. And that is what I thought the post was going to be about.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Simply put, you're either real or....

or you're not. Most of you would NEVER act the way you do in real life as you do here. You're kidding yourself if you believe you would. Me; I'm pretty much the way I am here as I am in real life, except I cuss more here, because I can. It's so much easier for me to remember who I am. all the time.

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yeah, I'm with ya on this one Blue.

Not being here all that much lately - I don't know who the fuck is who. But then again I can't find myself to care all that much.

With few minor exceptions (being a bit more free in speaking from my slightly bent mind) I am here as I am in RL.

Hey? I wonder? You get time now to improve your typing speed? Now that does sound like fun.

 

[YogiBare]

Sober up, Blue.

Who are you to judge who is real and who is not? I am a therapist and would not presume to do that for the benefit of the rest of the board.

This thread pisses me off.

And that is very real.

 

[Shylady]

Blue I understand what you mean. I am shy in RL and would never, ever do or say some of the things I say here. It is still me though, I just keep it inside in RL

What a terrible thing to say!

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

I don't understand why this thread would piss anyone off.

Reality is, after all - personal perception.

Blue is speaking real - to me - for my perception of what is real between Blue and I.

But - we have a bit of an advantage - we have spoken to one another on the phone. Therefore, I have a bit of an inside feeling as to his "realness" as he does to mine.

Other's here, he (as I have too) has not spoken to - hense - they are less real to him, his perception/my perception of "their reality."

Why would "we not" have concern, or question the logic behind thoughts of them being less real - or not real at all?

On the other side of this: Why should we "beleive" that "all here" are real?

I would think that any normal, thinking person here would be somewhere in the middle and question it all. All of this is untrackable. A sort of suedo-reality, if real at all. It's all in one's own perception of what is real - here, there (in RL) and everywhere.

If anyone might be incensed by this - or worse "troubled" - I would question their stability.

After all - stability - is the ability to anchor oneself in light of questioning all. All that is supposed to be reality.

Or not.

blue i dont think you meant it badly as its come accross but are you sure you really wanted to call everyone on the board fakes apart from the names you listed ?


i agree with what estevie said it was a terrible thing to say but im sure you didnt mean it quite so harshly

 

[Scabbers]

I confess

you're right, blue. In real life I'm a fifty-year old Dublin housefrau, trying to deal with a shitting Eircom line, whilst sipping cheap gin from the off-license.

Or at least that's what Modest Mouse says.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

Dr. Yogi, You're only a doctor....

Who are you to judge who is real and who is not? I am a therapist and would not presume to do that for the benefit of the rest of the board.

This thread pisses me off.

And that is very real.

You are not God. I have a right to my opinion as do you to your's. I do not profess to speak for anyone else, here. Do you?? And so what if you do?

And that, doc, is vry real, too!

[Sparky Kronkite]

Dr. Yogi?!? Then I'm.........

Nurse Bo Bo.

What does he operate on?

Picnic baskets?

Re: Sober up, Blue.

 

[Feelin' Naughty]

what you see is what you get

Blue, I didn't expect to be included in your list of "real" people, as we do not know one another, I don't even remember having posted on a thread with you. However, I am the same person on this board as in rl, and I try to be honest when posting. Heck, I even have "real" info in my profile and my av is me.
So please do not categorize the entire board based on a few people that use Lit. for their alter-egos' adventures

 

[JazzManJim]

I'm not going to get riled over this thread. It's just another versions of "Ha ha. I'm better than you. I'm real and you're not".

And of course, it's written purely to piss people off.

And of course it's bullshit.

So I say, screw the bullshit. It's a great day today and I"m going to enjoy it, whether I'm real or not.

 

[ShyGuy68]

FlamingoBlue this is yet another reason I hardly ever read any of your threads.

Why do you have to offend everybody except those you've listed here, do you do that as well in real life?

Have you even remotely tried to get to know any besides those on that list of yours, so you know what you're talking about?

Well you think what you think, and I think you're full of shit when you behave like that.

 

[FlamingoBlue]

First of all I know less than 100 of you

blue i dont think you meant it badly as its come accross but are you sure you really wanted to call everyone on the board fakes apart from the names you listed ?


i agree with what estevie said it was a terrible thing to say but im sure you didnt mean it quite so harshly

And I have only spoken to 4 of you on the telephone, so those are the people I'm talking about. Second, Sparky speaks the truth and so do a few others that I have any contact with. I don't know most of you and you are who you are. I'm nuetral on everyone that I don't know and if I a nuetral then I have no opinions from my sample group.

Let's take you, Sexy Girl. I don't know you at all. Therefore, I am nuetral bout you. Your sexual preference is your own business as is everyting else in your. Are you real life?? I don't know. You know and that's enough.

This is only my opinion. I hope you have an opinion, as well. Life is real, not a game. This place is a game; it's not real. Believe it or not.

[FlamingoBlue]

You understand. Other's don't....

Blue, I didn't expect to be included in your list of "real" people, as we do not know one another, I don't even remember having posted on a thread with you.

LET ME MAKE MYSELF VERY CLEAR..... .

Like this lady said, I don't know all of you. Like she didn't say is that I am not generalizing. This is a fucking game for me. I don't take any of this stuff here seriously, except when you contact me about a serious issue. This is a no-harm thread. If you in any way upset with the subject of his thread, bfore you rip off a reply to me, think about what it is that I'm really trying to say. Only you really know if you're real. And your're the only one who really needs to know or who should care.

blue

 

[estevie]

I understand the point you were trying to make. I said it was a terrible thing to say because you believe us to be figments of our imaginations, while the people who have somehow 'proved' they are who they say they are..are real. It made me feel..well, yucky. This may be a fault of mine but I take people at their word. They are who they are unless proven differently. It made me feel bad that not everyone is like that. That it somehow has to be 'proved' that I am real..makes me feel bad.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Your hostility toward Blue and this thread is irrational......

First off: "To him" (to him, to him, to him) in "his mind," the "reality here on this board" as relative to who you "may be" in RL - is a question mark. In HIS mind.

So what? You take insult to that? The man is being honest for Christ's sake.

And I suppose "you don't." None of you question the relative reality of certain characters on this board? Your "care free" life philosphy allows you to "beleive all and everything" that appears on this screen eminating from this board.

If you do that - if you were so easily insulted by Blue's honesty - then I have another insult for you........

Your idiots!

So what if "you" are one such person who claims to post a real picture of yourself. So what if you claim to be the exact same person here on this board as you are in RL.

So what? Are we simply supposed to take that for granted? If so - you see - "that" is an insult to me, to Blue and to all "thinking" people who know how easy it is to "fake shit" on this and every other board on the internet.

You - by have become insulted by this "very real" thread - insult Blue and everyone else who knows that..........

There is no reality here - and yes - it is all bullshit.

Oh really, Sparky? Do you really mean that?

Nurse Bo Bo.

What does he operate on?

Picnic baskets?

It's "Boo Boo", Spark. Please get it right, cuz the little guy gets his feeling hurt real easily.

You are not God. I have a right to my opinion as do you to your's. I do not profess to speak for anyone else, here. Do you?? And so what if you do?

Blue, that's exactly the point that I am trying to make to you. Not only does neither one of us have the right to speak for anyone else, but we also do not have the right to judge anyone else, as in who is or isn't real. And, in saying that I was pissed, I did speak only for myself. And others have spoken for themselves.

Not much pisses me off. With me, it's all pretty much "no worries mate". But this thread pisses me off. The way I interact with people on this board and the way I interact with people in r/l is the same. What you see is what you get. Even my av is of me.

<sigh>

It's hard enough keeping my actual persona on the straight and narrow without creating a whole new one... and that's the truth.Not much pisses me off. With me, it's all pretty much "no worries mate".

Ain't it the truth, Foxie? For the record, I am as I am as I present myself here. I've worked too hard on myself to pretend to be someone else.

Right on, Mr. JazzMan. Hopefully, I'll catch up with you at one of the DC area clubs one day. I'm off to pick up my daughter now. Have a great day, everyone!

I just gave you my opinion. Who the hell am I to you. I don't even know you. Talk about being on the fucking defensive.

Have your opinion. I stand by your right to have one. Me too.
