Why might you take this board so seriously? When it's not. Are you nuts?

I'm not marrying you and thats final

The shebabe would be pissed if I did anyway.

Go for a ride on your bike and pretend I'm on the back.. about 200mph would be good cause I feel like flying again.

Cher'r dude......

Just got the coolest mic hooked up to the studio - all is now ready for more creation. Only thing is - for now it's in the baby's room. So, I have to record when he's not the fuck in there - cramped. New stuff will be forthcoming - but slow.

I certainly hope no one takes me all too seriously. Besides my cryptic posts and nuances, it's a way to communicate and pass the time. But, it's also a way to get in touch with people that you would not or could not in real life. It's my muse, but it's also been an experience. Being online can be heart felt and in the same token leave you far behind. After all, can words online really reflect a true person? It's fairly nebulous at times and the tonality is a bit of fuzzy logic. Yet, I have met some wonderful people and actually shared some deep moments falling into trips of laughter and misconnections.

What wedding? Oh, I did that online wedding episode once. I could caulk that up to my internet fumble, but…never mind.

But, I agree that some take it too personally and allow judgments and reflections to take its' toll on this medium.

*I have flame retardant gear on now.

Wait! I was misunderstood again…rats!

Yes actually, I am nuts. But I don't take the board seriously.

I take other people's feelings seriously. When someone comes to talk to us about their pain, happiness, or just to ease their mind, I take them very seriously.

 

[on_the_verge]

To clarify things: I do respect peoples' feelings and how the internet can effect them as if it was R/L. It is R/L and we are living it because we are flesh, blood and souls who share and carry as well as give emotions. We all have our reasons for being online, one is no better than the other, but we spin a collective pool that creates the ecosystem of our online personas and devices. Everything that encompass R/L can be online and vice versa…to a degree.

You are right - kinda.......

But nothing "tells" like face to face communication.

Hence - this Internet thing? It's ripe for bogus bullshit.

Much, much mor than anything close to RL.

I have a slight problem with this statement.

I would believe that the anonymity of the internet would free us from lies. I can tell you exactly what I think of you, and what the fuck do I care if you hate me for it? I don't have to see you at nine in the morning for rest of the work week.

Where in real life, I wouldn't be so quick to put out my true opinion, just for the hell of it, or even just because you asked. I would have to deal with you for God knows how long. Who wants to deal with that?

I guess different people react and act in different ways, on the internet and off. That's just my view, how I handle things.

If you want to tell me you're a three legged chimpanzee with purple balls, what the hell do I care, really? I'll ask you if you shave them and how that's effected your life.

Get what I'm saying here?

You the thing about F2F? People are less open as well and more deceptive because they don't have their "bubble" to protect them. This does not imply Lit or the internet as some disillusion to reality, but everything is a case by case implementation of the many possibilities. Now we are communicating and it does effect me as I do you and that's a snippet of reality, but it's not the wholeness that a F2F is, but I am still communicating and we are effected by the very responses we create and take in, no?

Dude, I am not advocating or dissing you. Just throwing out some stuffola and I am tired, but another sip of Tanqueray and tonic wants me to carry on all night. Maybe I am getting ready for my next marathon and I am training.

This monkey shaves them! Damn, stinky monkey needs a shower tomorrow!

I'm not "dissing" anyone either......

but "snippets" are sinppets.

You never, ever - know.

Unless "they" come clean. As I have - by the way.

Do you think people are going to come clean? Online boards are a delicate thing with politics and that some things are best left not said. I congrat you on being forward and brave, but some may play devils advocate and others' might not…and every grey shade in between. Maybe you are frustrated with some of the "bullshit" or that there are other matters that have not surfaced, but no one can solely deconstruct or surmise things to a tee—offline or online. Take life with grains of sand because it's a big world and if you focus on tid bits you let the world slip from your finger tips.

How can you not take this seriously?

Why? Because it can be very serious.

I cannot find the link, but it was written by "debbiexxx" under "The last time I cried was when I wrote this."

Her story had me in tears and I felt so much of what she shared.

I disagree. I believe a liar is a liar, whether it be online or face to face. I've had plenty of RL people lie to me, I don't just automatically assume anyone is telling the truth

 

[Rubyfruit]

Everything in my life is real, including lit.

Sparky, I remember when you had that thread asking people to call you. Were the people you spoke with not real?

Most of the time I take the board very tongue in cheek.

But there are a few people I am genuinely friends with and we talk off board and have become friends. But even when we are on Lit most of the time we are just joking and kidding around.

It is a fucking playground, pun intended

I am guilty ...

I don't take it serious , I don't go around hurting people's feelings and trolling each and every person out there... But

I simply don't take it seriously into my every day life. I have enough "drama " going on in mine to take this serious !


Duh !


Its all in fun .


I love each & every one of you !

 

[on_the_verge]

I don't go on with the intention of hurting others' feelings as well, but there can be a bit of a friction and some differences…at times. I don't go trolling or even see trolls that "behave" a deep issue. Sometimes a person wants some anonymity and it's not to strike and be callous, but to protect the very image they represent and have the ability to be expressive…w/out premise. Isn't there times when you want to say something, but you cannot or hold back without having to get an irrational or illogical remarks? Of course you can say you stand up to your beliefs and that people should accept you the way you are, but let's be realistic about that.

Not to mention that it's difficult to make a remark, that might mock, but be filled with humor or hey, it's reality, so grin and bear it. Yet, there are times when others' swoop over a person, like a a pack of wolves in for the kill. We all need and like support, but isn't it fair for a person to stand their own—then if the need be, others' may interject for support. That's another issue and the sensitivity of it all…sometines. There are "senior" members in every forum or a leader in life. That very person(s) has the power to influence or cull others' and there needs to be a responsibility in that. Just because a person is flamed by a "senior" member, does not dictate or should it allow a person to be any lesser or greater. It's nice to be innocent until proven guilty before biased opinions are undue. It takes time to know someone—to "really" know and that is the nice thing about developing a friendship and possibly more, no?

Yes, it is for fun and it's a nice way to escape and also come closer to others' with similar mindsets. We have a true connection intellectually and emotionally; a shared sense of humor, aesthetics and love of words -- and fabulous, adventurous sex.

So Sparky, what's your angle(s)?

Cheyenne, thanks for the link. I know just about everything to do on here, but maybe I have been too lazy to read the help section. I just like to dive in most of the time, lol!

 

[Tim1]

well

This board is serious for some and not for others. If you bring serious subjects to the public forum, for sure people will react in a serious manner.

Do I turn off this computer and take this with me? Nope, but there are people here who I remember from time to time as my real day happens.

This place is as serious as the people who use it.

 

[Moridin187]

No, I don't really take it that seriously. There are some really wonderful people on here, that's for sure, as well as some royal jackasses.. But, as others have said,I've got enough drama and bullshit in my life already.. mostly I come here to shoot the shit, to argue some politics or religion, and just to pass the time talking to interesting people.

I also stay out of all those melodramatic, laundry-airing threads.. Same as I am IRL.. One of my policies that has served me well.
