Once upon a time

[Ishmael]

there were a group of people here on the GB that were fed up with all the political chatter. A few, seeing an opportunity, went off and started their own web site. Sex and flirtations only, highly moderated.

That site is dead and gone and most all that jumped over to the "safe room" are right back here on the GB. Go figure?

Oddly enough, those that contributed to the failure of the aforementioned site were among those 'politicking' for the "Political Forum." Not being satisfied with being losers, they want to be two time losers.

They don't seem to understand that the GB satisfies their need in life. The need to bitch. Without something to bitch about their life has no meaning whatsoever.

They bitch, I point and laugh. The world is in perfect balance.

[Aquagal]

So much all of this.

 

[Ishmael]

So much all of this.

There are at least two stanza's before that final line sweetie.

I remember that place!

Vaguely.

I walked away from all this foolishness for awhile. Now I'm back. I don't know why, either. Maybe it's because I missed you and your insight, Ish.

Although, I see several of the usual suspects and usual idiots are still here.

Haha very insightful

Moreover:
Besides the informative & interesting points raised in these threads,
The battles, pissing contests and name-callings moron, asshat etc.- within the political threads are awesome & make for good comedy. Don't those asshats -who are trying to split the forums- have any sense of humour?

Good to see you back sticky. Missed your humor.

Yeah, many of those suspects/idiots are still here. I liken it to fishing. You never know what you're going to attract when you chum the waters.

Not quite right. Lint was more about people who wanted a moderated board where no one ever fought, not people who wanted to avoid politics. The big arguments there that I recall, one of which involved me, were always about moderation.

For the most part, and not surprisingly, the GBers who tried it out didn't stick around long. Most of the prominent members there were Playgrounders, or in a few cases, people who were never on Lit to begin with.

So why did they ever bother to begin with? *chuckle*

I'm not desserting my post. (food porn pun) Cake anyone? Cups of tea? Cold beverage?


Each to their own I say. The gb and I are not exclusive. We have an understanding. It meets my needs and I remain faithful (for the most part) but every now and then I like to spice things up and have a dalliance elsewhere.

I'm a naughty, sexxxy girl sometimes. But the gb forgives me and I come back and whisper sweet nothings in it's ear.

As long as you brought it up WE. Lint was a "Garden of Eden" idea formulated by a cadre of flaming Libs, yourself included. A "if we were only in control" idea. In direct opposition to Laurel's concept of '"no control." In the end you couldn't even control yourselves without rebellion. Do you think there's a lesson there? Or do you think there just wasn't enough control?

I came online in 1997, and been banned almost everywhere. One writers board banned me for suggesting virgins know shit about sex.

But most boards fail for one reason, moderators. Moderators are always submissive members of clicques with control issues. And they go too far....always.

I caught hell here (LIT) suggesting grammar is conventional wisdom applied to writing, and most rules were created by chalky New England school ma'ams with no friends and long weekends. It was heresy over at the AH. Many prominent editors and writing gurus agree with me but the idea wasn't popular here. AINT really is a word!

Here's a jewel for you: 99.99% of success in life is simply being informed. Know what in fuck is going on and apply a common remedy to the problem. This helpful hint is worth more than a PhD in Gay Community Organizing, and all of Hillarys public service since 1967.

There ya go, a testimonial.

Did it ever occur to you that there was a reason you were banned everywhere else you posted?

Someone else's fault? You're a victim.............or all the rest of us stupid?

Its my honesty. People hate honesty.

Trumps gonna fuck Hillary. Its really gonna happen. I got nuthin to do with it but to see it coming. 99.99% of the numnutz here don't see it. And when it happens they'll blame me when they coulda nominated a better candidate.

Nah, it's you. People hate you

[Lancecastor]

Another political forum whine-fest.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Ishmael

None who matter.

Do you think you matter?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I just read all of the posts Lance, and surprisingly, no one is whining...



I did just stumble across one jackass though.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

None who matter.

Do you think you matter?

It's pretty much as if you set out to be hated, loathed and even detested...

Sort of just another Mike Yates performance-art schtick.

Who would you recommend I make friends with? You? Maybe youre not worth the price. You judge me, I judge you, too. And so far I don't feel the loss of your esteem.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Vetteman was worth the candle. But so far I aint feeling the loss of anyone. Most here are beyond fucked up.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I do not want to be your "friend" because it is true that the company you keep says a lot about you.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

I do not want to be your "friend" because it is true that the company you keep says a lot about you.

Amen. We agree on one thing.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

The GB encourages an I'M OK, YOURE NOT OK attitude about the world. That is, no one's OK if they aren't your twin. To that I say FUCK YOU. I have my standards, too, and just between us you aint impressing me either. GUMP and ISH aren't OK.

I do have a thing for sugary donuts with a hole in the middle.

Some of these weirdos that frequent here make fascinating studies for my hobby of observing people.
