*shrug* answering direct responses and queries about it?
I'd be more than happy to move along, hence the vid and races, but it keeps coming back....
Uh....last post wasn't about it anyway, so could you as well move it along? thanks...
don't make me whip out another MP video!

********Crap-this is gonna automerge....*******
I have a question for Pan that has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COURSE OF THIS EXCHANGE :I just didn't know where else to put it other than a new thread....
About 25 years ago, Bill Cosby did a bit that I'll synopsis:
Cosby: Why do you do drugs?
Richard Pryor: Because....they enhance the personality.
Cosby: Yea, but.....what if you're an asshole?

So my curiousness is this:
Do people go down that path with that thought(enhancement) or is it borne of some weakness/inability to cope with life as it stands? Is it a combination, or is there a common thread at all?(BTW, comedian Ron White was a drug counselor who used humor in his work. His bosses didn't like it, though. Love the guy!)

I promise to make this my last post on this matter, but I just want to make clear that it has never been my wish or intent to try and shut down CA or even stifle whatever it is that's going on there. I have tried to express my feelings about being exceedingly mean and ugly, even if just on the internet. I have taken exception to the idea that because I don't care to interact in this way then I'm not being "real." I think most of my posts have been attempts to clarify either one or both of these themes. Albeit, a few of my posts also expressed regret for some of the things I saw there. But whatever. I am a big girl and fairly well-equipped to deal with disappointment. It's not as if I was very close to any of the players involved. I don't care if CA exists and I don't care who wants to go play there. I just feel strongly enough about the issues the site raises for me to try and do them justice through words and sentences.

And last thing, I was sitting with all of my co-workers at lunch today and realized just how much of my "real" self I hide with them and with many other people I interact with on a day-to-day basis. I could never say probably a third of the things that pop into my head when I am having casual or even work-related conversation with them. It is here, at home, and with my friends and family that I am allowed to truly be myself. I simply have no desire to be anything more or less than I am here everyday. And I'm really happy to have this place to come to and say exactly what's on my mind.

And on that note, I'm gonna go get laid. Ya'll have an extremely real weekend.

I can give you my professional guess and opinion .... in a different thread............. linked "http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=87601"

BTW didn't know that about Ron White, no wonder I like the guy.

LOL just reopened an old thread I started on addiction NG..... now I have to see what your link says.... my views believe it or not are considered very radical by most in my field....including some very expensive rehabs....

Thanks

The most interesting facet of this experiement, to me at least, is that it would make one hell of a great new thesis for anyone writing a study in group dynamics for a college social science/sociology class geared for social theory and group inclusion and the study of moderation in a self governed society.

Charlatan · 02-09-2007, 04:48 PM

I find it interesting that C:A is now stumbling to it's death due to lack of posts.

Self regulation is all well and good but a board is only as good as the quality and quantity of posters involved.

No members, no board.

This is an important point.

Daoust · 02-09-2007, 05:16 PM

It's cause they permanently booted all the good guys, Charlie. lol

Or they left of their own accord....all parties end at some point(usually after everyone sobers up).

pig · 05-23-2007, 08:39 AM

or maybe they didn't boot everyone? who knows. its a mystery inside an enigma wrapped inside a riddle.

personally, i hate every one of those filthy bastards on c:a and i hope they die a million deaths, each one worse than the last, until they are left in a pile of their own vomit and excrement, whining about how they never got the little red wagon they wanted and how their daddies never loved them. on that day, will i rise victorious to urinate all over them as they beg for mercy.

until then, maybe i'll enjoy the alternate forum. its not dead yet people. i'm feeling a weak pulse.

Ourcrazymodern? · 05-26-2007, 10:24 PM

I left coz one day I just .... didn't go back... basically it was just a conquest to gain admin and I got it a couple times, did some silly shit banned some people and then never went back

The drama on there was fucking awesome though.. Damn I loved that.

noodlebee · 06-01-2007, 05:17 AM

Wow. I just joined the forum. So far it looks okay. I only skimmed through the replies here... rather learn from experience for something like this than read it first. :P

pig · 09-20-2007, 06:08 AM

hmmm..i wonder if anything is going on over at that other place?

tecoyah · 09-20-2007, 09:08 AM

Uh....I hear the moderator is a damn Pig....heh

pig · 09-20-2007, 09:44 AM

probably. it's the type of place that would collect that sort of garbage...and even promote them to places of seeming authority. tasteless bastards.

shesus · 09-20-2007, 07:12 PM
