trolls but the likes of him were rounded upon quickly and dealt with using humour and the collective will of a good bunch of people won the day every time. This is different now and it's deflecting from the efforts of others.
I have not been on here much, due to work load and "so called" real-life things a foot but I don't see much of a difference, new faces, new masks, old faces and old masks.
Perhaps something has changed and I am oblivious to it, all I see is more of the same, heck Admin even had to create an archive, I think because otherwise it would be obvious we were going over the same ground over and over for eternity.
"We're just lost souls. Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here."
I'm not prone to sentimentality attacks, honest;)
The honest and simple truth is rarely honest and never simple :)
I will agree to one thing, I believe you are alluding to, these forums are as good as the posters make them, that is you and I. I think personal responsibility is
freedom and it starts with me and my input. I don't want to control what others say or do, I just want to be responsible for myself.
you said that before, however I know where you are coming from. I totally lost an interest in posting on PF. It took me years, but without analyzing it too much and blaming anybody in particular I find that there are many better places to be at the moment:).
Aphro! Baby!, how many times through out those years have we been here?
PF was and always will be a love/hate self destructive relationship, a traincrash in slow motion.
Anyway, I am off to do more of that so-called "real-life" stuff :)
