Thanks Coati - yes, at least I'm able to recognise the problem.
I dunno - no one warned me how easily it could happen. It started with the odd line now and again, then all of a sudden I find myeslf thinking about it all day. It gives me mood swings, I start asking people in the street for citations and hanging around with pensionsers to try and pick up the jargon and med-cred.

You are NOT an appalling human being. There are some there, but you are hardly one of them.
Or did I just blow your cover? Errr, yes...he is truly despicable! Loathsome!

You are very kind, madam. But your husband, for one, disagrees.

Well, (a) I am my own person so I am allowed to have my OWN opinion, (b) he only plays my husband on the GB, (c) we're not on the GB, are we?

At GBers Anonymous, we understand. I've been clean for 27 days.

It all started off as a joke and has just grown from there - it's not a real relationship. Some of us DO have a sense of humor.
P.S. - I do cross post in the GB and PG. It CAN be done. Only one person has called me a playgrounder, but I honestly don't care.

Lol, no not single - KapitalK and I do have an actual relationship. He tolerates me having a GB marriage as he knows it's all in fun.

The GB isn't as bad as all that. Yes, there are some assholes. But some of those assholes are really smart and witty and funny as hell. The wheat with the chaff.
GB isn't the place you go when you want smoke blown up your ass, or validation for your insecurities. But anyone with remedial English skills should be able to figure that out by doing a bit of reading before posting. So starting a "Is my penis too small? " thread on the GB is never going to end well.
I post pretty much wherever I feel like it. Mostly, that tends to be on the GB. I like the fact that the threads don't move as fast as on the Playground. And while the GB has it's own type of fluff threads, at least there are no neverending Would You, Suck, Fuck, Shake Hands or Anally Violate The Poster Above You.
I have a couple of people on ignore, because they start too many stupid misogynistic threads, which improves my experience immensely.
If you decide to paddle in the GB waters again, say hello.

I feel the same way about the AH these days.
Same trolls, same arguments, and the same subjects beaten into a dead horse on a daily basis.
yet I find myself still sticking around, I tell myself its for the newer members who haven't figured the writing side of things out yet, but I think its just that the AH is an annoying bad habit, like cracking my knuckles....

The problem is the first part of your post as in some over there have developed a sense of self importance, like being a long time member of a chat board on a porn site has "prestige" and that they are actually relevant to the world
Dolf defined it best to me when I saw her tell a newbie "this is the GB, there is no mercy here" and she was serious.
Please.
If the GB is that big of a part of your life you have just proved to be the loser you tell everyone else they are.
I enjoy the actual humor there, but the cyber bullies and the "I'm someone crowd" are a study in real life low self esteem masked by posting bravado.

People have met on the General Board and married in real life. I do not keep a list but I'm guessing someone could list them of you asked.
Mercy on the GB.
Well, NO.
Now having said that we use to have a sort of different type of people there, Spelling and grammar errors would get you flayed alive!
Leaving the Caps Lock on would ensure you a very short and painful visit.
Even the Trolls were higher class if more intense. Oh, disagreements an arguments were about the same except people were not as vicious toward your person and you had better post a link instead of just mouthing off when stating facts.
And Newbies were spanked on a regular basis and made to show their tits and or bits!

I've seen her face - she posted in once for a few minutes
. I wasn't aware of her rapping. Rapping always sounds like petulant teenagers grumpy about Life because "it isn't fair" though there have been some great exceptions.I often see suggestions that some posters have some physical impairment and they are actually unable to to move from their keyboard - likewise with the dementia meds.
When you take their misogynistic paranoia, racist rants and abusive tantrums in that context, I often wonder what kind of RL problems they must be having. I'm not meaning that to be patronising or stuffy - I just can't understand it otherwise.
Real cats?? hmmm?!

Yeah, real cats. Like cats not in GIFs.
They could benefit from some real pussy as well.

Have you had the sad misfortune of meeting JBJ?
He hates girls, coloreds, and is quite anti-gay.

He tries to sound wise and brimming with wit,
But he’s really quite wretched, and very full of shit.
He boasts his lineage contains generals and kings,
But we know ol’ Jim’s pedigree is a more slimier thing.
His anecdotes and porkies are all hackneyed and lame,
He’d be gone,but for the money riding on his death, in the secret, Lit Dead Pool game.

He posts and provokes, and pulls the pigtails of pretty young things,
From his old lazy-boy that reeks of stale farts, and has three broken springs.
Best to ignore this wretched curmudgeon, troll, and wee man of hate,
He eventually shuffles off, in his soiled underpants, if you don’t take the bait.

Without the attention and opposing reply, he’ll post one last arrogant thing,
All of it gobbledygook, utter nonsense, and hollow birds, with no wings.

The following are the original twelve steps are for the General Board.
1. We admitted we were powerless over the General Board—that our lives and computer usage had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than out own computer could restore us to the real world.
3. Made a decision to turn our votes and our passwords over to the care of Manu as we understood The boss lady trusts Him.
4 . Made a searching and fearless mortal inventory of Hard Drives.
5. Admitted to the Authors Hang Out, to ourselves, and to How To Café he exact nature of our wrongs.
6.Were entirely ready to have The Cat Lady remove all those ALT’s from our Log on file.
7. Humbly asked Manu to Search for ALT’s we forgot.
8. Made a list of all persons we had slandered, besmirched
and just plain lied about, and became willing to make confession to the General Board that they are still assholes with links this time.
9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would out somebody’s secret ALT.
10. Continued to take personal inventory of our Hard Drives, and when we find Dolf porn, promptly delete it.
11. Sought through searching for erotic written porn and masturbation improve our conscious contact with Literotica as we understood it, praying only for the strength to finish and someday to write a better story.
12. Having had a erotic reawakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other burned out GB’ers , and to Playground rejects these principles in all our affairs.
