Cawk said:If there was anyone twisted like me here, I'd actually try to be friends with them, and as result, contribute to the site better....is this some sort of existential loneliness stemming from when you "realized" that Jim is "just some old cast normie like the rest of 'em"?No.Hm, alright.
The loneliness angle is new though, you always liked to brag in another's stead. Now that you're this "Big Alfa Dawg" or whatever you realize it's lonely at the top and that no one around here is appreciating what you're doing (beyond some of the subtleties from a few who bothered to try to read into you).
When Jim was around, he even enabled some of your pettier behavior, and with him gone you still have the same desires with no one to validate it for you....Jim's validation for what I do was never the fuel for it, you've been reading me wrong.Remember when I told you that I don't rely on 1 on 1 supply?
You rebuke us because you feel rebuked, but you feel it before it's the reality so instead you end up in a strangely defensive self-fulfilling prophecy.I'm extremely good at reading people. Don't buy into Alena's story.
Paranoid or otherwise anxious people tend to be the better people readers (which is why some abuse victims can acquire it too), but it has the risk of being infected by their own insecurity when it starts to directly relate towards them. The show "Lie to Me" really liked to play with that for drama, showing once skilled readers getting it really wrong because "feelings".
With enough users like that, the place wouldn't be "overwhelmed by some asshole that aims to take advantage of those freedoms." as Turncoat described me....yeah, it'd be more overwhelmed, by a group of them instead, all backing each other up and patting each other on the back for making people leave like it was before.
I mostly try to keep that lot around to see if they'll come around and be normal users. Many of them do, so chances have proven worth giving in the past, but there's a point where to do nothing is no longer an option.If there really were more users like me, the normies would likely end up fucking off back to Loona's and the thick skinned ones like me would stay.
What you describe as overwhelming would become the norm. It is just very noticeable currently when there's users who post topics about kittens and then when I post topics.
What you're talking about is something this place has never been
Instead it had prideful, middle aged losers larping, threatening each other, of which nothing ever came out of any instances.
My vision is better.
So build your own place that more suits your vision instead of ours.
I'm not going to sit here and say that there's no feelings going on whatsoever, that'd be ridiculous self-denial. I'm all for freedom of expression, but making a mess stops others from having their room to express other than through fighting fire with fire. I want it to work and at points it feels like you're working against me working for you, so I'm bound to have some feelings on the matter.
I'm definitely not with you, but I expect you to uphold the site principles.
Your views on what those are seem to shift around. I'll be upholding the site principles as I have been, but how you and I see it sometimes clash.
