Recently I have caught myself in the act of ranting in great detail from the perspective of my own diminsia. LET ME MAKE IT CLEAR, that I dont even neccessarily belive my own bullshit.!! Sme times I have simply had a beer too many. If you have something to say, then make sure your facts are right and SAY IT!! and be prepared to back it up with at least "I heard it from so and so". While I there is nothing I love more than to get into a pissing contest with CONCILIATOR and give him a good cursing, I respect what he does for this forum as he is the apitamy of "lets get our facts straight!!"" For that I salute him. I also noticed that I got a little miffed when someone gave me a bad review on a post the other day. While that is fine and it served the purpose it was supposed to, it leaves a lot on the table that could provide informative insight for others to read. Another example, Solo chimed into a thread the other day swooping in to say "forget all the noise" you are hearing, this is how it is.... While that is fine too, it also leaves questions unanswered. Even if Solo does not want to take the time to say, "Hey, BBC, or whoever, you are fucked for these reasons.", be sure and take the time to ask him about other thoughts that were posted that you may have interest in and why he disagrees with them. I greatly respect Solo and what he has to say. He has a "seven point rating" because he is experienced and is always intelligent and "correct" with his advise, BUT his input should not cease all further questioning, or erase the preceeding completely from anyone's mind. I am not pointing this out for his benefit, he did what he wanted to do and gives good advice. I am saying it to all of you out there reading as you need to also remember what IS wrong, and why, and what may also be right, thus providing the fuel for further intelligence. All of this may or may not be going on at the present, but surely has in the past. Perhaps the website administrators should make it maditory that we receive an email when a new post arrives in a thread we have posted in. That would eliminate the "pump and run" mentality thus helping to minimize apparent uncontested advice.
This forum is one of only a few out there that has managed to conglomerate intelligent helpful advice and information, while at the same time not building a massive group of general idiocy and dissemination. But it could be futher helped with a little more "why?".
- Dont be afraid to say "Hey BBC, you are an asshole and here is why." I'm not gonna cry...!
- Dont hesistate to ask another intelligent question in a thread even though it appears to be stamped out with the finality of an impressive force around here.
- Sticks and stones...., but no one around here can hurt ya, that is the beauty of an anonymous internet forum, always speak your piece. This place should provide the MOST POWER POSSIBLE to enable a wealth of infornmation in one place, and available by no other means.
While I am going to continue to rant, rave, and reem. It is only a persona of the devils advocate designed to provoke further insite from you and others. Sometimes even a "term of endearment" may be uttered.
I apologize to anyone I may offend in advance.
While it should be clear that I have nothing better to do. I am spending way too much time here lately. Here are some of the things that were going on consistantly here when I first came around.....:
- Tell new posters to post stats, age, etc
- Properly and succinctly advise underage against, and good reasons why.
THERE SHOULD BE A STICKY CREATED SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF EDUCATING YOUNG POTENTIAL USERS OF WHY THEY SHOULD NOT. Entitle it " Why you are too young for steroids!!".
- Make sure and advise new people to first read the stickies regarding the subject matter at hand. Guys used to not even answer questions to newbies if they had not gone to the trouble to read and ask educated questions. The Pros like Solo dont bother with most of them because what is the point?? You gonna do it over and over again? Besides, anyone that is engaging these "lazy" questions is hence incriminating themselves as inexperienced by doing so. Or they would be too sick of the same old shit to do so(
unless of course, like me, they have just had too many beers and love the art of bullshit!). With all that said we need a few more approved guideline stickies that are more up to date and not cluttered with pages of outside input. That should be saved for forum discussion in the appropriate area.
- My only point is that this excellent pool of knowledge and insight feels like it is getting too large and confusing, thus making useful only to the ones that write it.
For this time I will bid you all a "Fuck me!"...
Can we make it a more friendly and open forum??
