Re: Chat Problems & Attitude Problems
*clears voice*. If you now are going to be annoyed that I poke my nose into something that probably is a dead theme, or soon will be (hopefully), do not worry, you're probably not half as annoyed as I am with myself. I am going to do something that is without precedent in the world of reasonable men, I am going to use myself as an example. A good example. *ahem* Wait, rather I am going to write about something, and some of you, and throw in my own reflections. It used to come alot of good out of that, back in the days; my teachers would say "ah, this is good. You are showing a personal interest in the theme given and have clearly worked hard towards identyfying yourself with the subject" Of course I hadn't, it was just that rambling away has always been easier than knowing, you know, real facts.
Anyway, the hostility around here these past few days is sad to witness. This is such a good place
I think it is sad that WW and the Wb's have gone off so soon, even though it was validated that some of them was just frauds gone here to mess things up, and so it is good to be rid of them. Even though I did not know the original Wb (which, by all means, probably is just as good), I went back and read a couple of his post and they were mostly about him wanting to kill himself or some other bitching. I understand that he has hurt people around here deeply, and I know that wounds take time to heal. This other people should understand. So if that means someone will be wounded by the now sharper pikes surrounding a person, or receiving a red dot as the saying goes, maybe try to look through the fingers with it. Move on.
As it always is, what I have up until now been saying is something that was not what I intended. Such is the way of the Eyre. Never to say that which should have been said. What I wanted to to was to compare this place to a party. Yes. And throw in my own thoughts. When I came here, some three months ago, it was the first time I ever joined a, what do you call it, internet society or whatnot. It still is the only time. I've found what I was looking for here. Anyway, and this is to you WW,WB or just anyone that has been thinking about joining up lately, when I first came here, it was like going to a party where you don't know anybody. Can be scary, can be bad, or it can be really good *looks about self to search for the point he thought he was going to make somewhere*; when you do go to a party without knowing anybody, you don't jump up on the table, shout about and talks all the time to make people notice you. That will have people point at you and say to each other "let's not invite that person again". And that is the main fault I've found with some of the newbies (hah, I'm calling other people newbies) that has joined up lately. Of course, the fault might well be mine, it tends to be. I'll explain; when I joined up I spent days before I ever posted anything, I read about, trying to decipher the inner workings around the quill. What I found was that some things were more "core" than others. For instance I saw that Absnot was a place were mostly the people that had been members for a long time posted. So I decided I wouldn't start up there. For my party-comparison, this will be the table around which the closest friends sit. And when you are new you don't push someone of a chair to take a place at that table, at least you don't do that until you are really drunk. Or want to go streaking.
The point, the fabled something that maybe will grace us with it's presence in the near future, is a hint at people joining up to show some respect. And give of yourselves before you expect something in return. Write about yourselves, there is a place called "reflections", show us some the things that make you you. How do you suppose someone will trust you not to be the infamous Wb if you wont do anything else than saying just that; I'm not Wb. Even I could do that. Why don't you instead write about your life, your thoughts and the things that make you wonder. (as I understand it the Wb didn't have either, so there you go, bulletproof...er...proof). Because, if you lurk around in the corners, quietly introducing yourselves and telling people about yourself, listening to what they have to say I believe that somewhere along the way, there will be someone that takes to liking you to the extent where you will be invited to the table. So be patient, take it easy, grab a beer and chill. This is a good place, and I refuse to say otherwise.
So for the love of whatever deity, red monkey or other that you believe in show some respect
