    What, specifically, do you think changed? What brought us that close in the first place; how and when did we gain it and lose it?

    Completely off topic but, check your PMs.

    If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?

    I know what changed the direction of the forum, but I think most people here seem alright with what's going on, so who am I to push for anything else? It's not what I want, but it might be what others want. It must be, since the internet is so full of the like. Sometimes more meaningful discussions still spring up briefly on the margins at least.

    And what might that be?
    The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
    The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
    When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
    I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

  5. #35
    Yeah, that's not happening. I'm not in the mood for a fight. Just ignore me, please.

  6. #36
    er, I wasn't looking for a fight, just wondering what you meant.

    Maybe somebody pretending to be Gentry? Or Kane? Or St. Mark?

    It isn't a fight with you I'm expecting.

    Not a value judgment, just an assessment.
    You're romanticizing intellectuals.

    Sorry.

    I'm curious, is it the same stuff I complained about earlier, or something else? I gave up trying at some point but I think I might be a net negative by now, insofar's good discussion goes. Trying to get everyone here going in the same direction seems to be like herding wet cats into a plastic bag

    Not, not that I'd know anything about cats and plastic bags
    In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
    The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

    The trick is to use a large garbage bag and a bit of shaved ham. And don't get them wet first, ffs.

    I think we need a renewed emphasis on the blog posts, since they tended to generate some of the best discussion.
    Hope is the denial of reality

    They did?

    Go look at them. They didn't even degenerate into insults, unlike most threads.

    Fuck you!

    I got an e-mail today from some shit-heel asking why I got banned and whether I was posting at Atari under a new name. Uhh

    Nice double post fuck face. Shit-heel. Huh. I like that. Not as cool as dick hole, but an altogether different character anyway. I expect you replied with our new home? Yes?
