Oh, I wouldn't limit this to site politics.
That's where I get interested, but you
see the same mechanism at work elsewhere.
I never got why you did not actively engage in it while a student, coming to think of it. Its my main playground these days.

I didn't like the clique like nature of the SA.  :laugh:


Plus, I was busy with other fun. I DID get
involved, in order to help bring about (and
attempt to save, later) a gaming club.

Just to let everyone know I'm leaving again, it was a bad idea for me to come back in the first place after 3 months of Intensity rehab. :laugh:  I had asked for my account deleting but I'm not ready to just throw away all of my PM's yet (I have almost 3000 so its not going to be an easy task sorting them out), so I'll just go karma free and be removed from the elders group for now.

Personally I would have preferred to have left like I did last time- swap emails with the handful of people I wanted to keep in touch with and just log out.  Making an announcement like this is making me cringe. :-[   BUT- I don't want anyone making assumptions about why I left and/or using these supposed reasons as ammo in any argument.  (FFS last time it seems that certain people assumed Dunc and I were having relationship problems  ::) )

I am leaving because basically I'm sick of all the arguing.  It takes up too much of my time because I can't do anything half-heartedly- I always have to throw myself into it.   I don't think Intensity has stuck to the original vision. I feel its become more about picking sides and always being right than about being a site run by all its members.  People pick sides and don't bother even considering whether a different viewpoint might be just as valid.  I know people will disagree with me on this, hey what's new  :laugh:, but that's how it seems to me (and has done for a long time).

The fact that a dissenting voice might feel drowned about by the sea of people rushing to the defence of a popular member was something some of us actually used to worry about.  Hell the Free for all was first set up so that people could post as a guest about site policy (admittedly it never really got used that way).  Now we don't give a shit about avoiding the pack mentality. That may be Intensity in the free speech, only the toughest can take it  (unless your friends with staff and then you can get nannied) sense- but I don't think its what any of us who were there at the start envisioned.  I know things change and I can accept that- I just don't like the way things have changed here.

Chalk me down as someone who decided that being 'Intense' isn't always a desirable thing.

sorry to hear that, PI.  :( 

i know the feeling of dismay when things start slipping away, but stopped caring earlier, which is probably a blessing.

take care and keep knitting.

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

But it feels more like a cold rain that a pull from two directions.

If it was two directions, it would be easier.

don't worry richard, she wouldn't leave on account of that cumbucket - as far as she's concerned, he has mommy issues and is clearly afraid of women. :LOL:

This was more related to the reasons she left three months ago.

It was a play on words, Bud.

A way of saying that PI has so many more things to involve herself with than internet "drama."
