Another record
Hey, GG. I've also been here for a while, since almost as long as the good Lord made dirt. And as many know, I can have sharp typing fingers. Threatened one time by a drunken immigrant Swiss female, "I'd like to put a hot poker up your arse." And by one Ozoid male, who likely misunderstood things, and said "I'll break both of your arms and legs". Could have heard many more such things.Placing both in context, the first involved alcohol, so nuff said. The second may have been similar, and when I discussed it with an elite soldier, a family member, who understands conflict at many levels, he said, not to worry at all. "Is he living next door or 10,000 Km away? Was the physical threat impossible to complete, anatomically? And several other such questions. He then said, "Bar tenders hear these things around closing time, when the frustrations of another lonely night, and a lonely morning hangover beckon. Fear and envy, rather than any real threat." Nuff said.
This is a well designed site, and provides different things to many. But for me, the many ancillary features here, such as blogs, help fulfill the basic roles of searching for committed companionship, and of course entertainment. As such, we all reveal ourselves, often in boast, and anger, in various manners. In my own way, I try to inform, to correct the incorrect, and to show off a bit. And the feedback helps in my choice of a next gig. Even the feedback of the lower class folks has it's place. Often devoid of real argument, and tending toward vulgarity and ad hominem comments on physical characteristics of others, all can teach us all. For me, the lessons are on better writing. Or even tolerably decent writing. Or stopping crappy writing. But in our search for mates, character comes across quite clearly. I'm a fat little illiterate Vierk Gnome, don't you know, among other kind/revealing epithets? Sort of has grown on me.
The cyberscritinizers here seem to get it, rarely tossing away the keys to CS jail for too long. Sure, perhaps more work could be done with the high percentage of scammers. But even here, the opportunity to learn is appreciated.
So welcome back. If that's what the blog means. And disallowing comments teaches us all a bundle as well. As does never blogging itself. Can't imagine ever doing so. Just often pay things a good deal of tactical ignoring.
