Cliques and the spirit of Intensity

[Christopher McCandless]

Also, I'll likely tell Cal that people are talking about him here, and see how long before his narcissism tempts him to come back and read it.

  He told me where to stick it.

Now do you see, DD?

the gif Lucifer posted? yes I can see it now. 

... or are you asking if I can see why I should stop talking about him?

... or if I can see that trying to tighten up the probability distribution in one area makes other areas less definable?

 

Oh do tell me the solution to that. I need to feel as if I know some probability...

get a cat, stick it in a box with a radioactive source and a phial of poison...

I never get why he used a cat. Surely there are more worthy victims out there...

I agree with your analysis, Phlexor.  That's the way that I see Intensity as well.

I think that it's impossible to make Intensity a safe haven for all those people who have been rejected by other fora, simultaneously.

I'm not convinced of this yet. Probably it's impossible for all people, but I say it's possible for more people than most others think.

This think this place is only a safe haven for people who feel they have to speak their mind and have trouble keeping their mouth shut in other forums where its a rule.

(not that  I'm talking about myself or anything, am I Ozy)

Comparing this place to AI is like comparing Apples and Oranges.     AI is a support forum with some leeway for "spirited" debate.  I just follow the guidelines set by Crucibelle.

Yeah, but there were a few nut jobs there that were starting to drive me crazy. And I think that's what you get when those sort of people are protected. But each place has its use and I feel more uselful here, if that says anything.

It makes sense, more than a few people drove me crazy over there.     And that was before I became Admin.       And I'm much more guarded there then I am here or on Morthaur's forum or The Drivel.  AI is basically dead and unlikely to ever revive, it's more or less a "read only" forum in every sense of the word except in fact.  Too much shit has happened there.   

Well the falling out between Crucibelle and Morthaur & Co pretty much stuck the knife into that place.

[DirtDawg]

Proof by exception. You made a blanket statement ("this place is only a safe haven for people who...") and I pointed out an example which didn't fall under that, rendering the blanket statement false.

Ah but I prefaced it by the word 'think', implying that it was only my opinion I was stating, not a fact. 

Does that make sense?

  It makes sense, but it just leaves us at the same "yeah, sure, you can speak your opinion, and I can speak mine, and we can disagree" impasse.

Aw, one of them vomit filled feel good worlds of niceness?

... is it that or is it an understood circumnavigation of that globe she is asking for in an effort to increase conversational efficiency?

I find it difficult to associate the desire towards efficiency with some kind of feeling. It is essential.

[Phlexor]

I don't know 

[thepeaguy]

Thank you, and good night everyone.

Something like that.

It just seems like something that's come up a lot here. Maybe we should have a smiley for it. "Yes, I hear you, but I still think you're full of shit. Got any more to share with us?"

I shouldn't be calling the place a haven anyway. It's too easy to misconstrue that.

[Pyraxis]

Thank you, and good night everyone. 

Still reading the thread, huh? 

[thepeaguy]

Thank you, and good night everyone. 

Still reading the thread, huh? 

Oooo, that would work, but the only problem is that I haven't been paying much attention to this boring thread.

Nice to see that you're still thinking of me though. Bless.

Well the falling out between Crucibelle and Morthaur & Co pretty much stuck the knife into that place.

The odd thing is, after a few months passed, she reached out to Morthaur for some help with her computer!  And unbanned him from the Island.  She stated she couldn't remember what all the fuss was about.     But, I agree, that was the death blow, that and the fact that it was down for so long.  By the time it came back up almost everybody moved on!

Also, I'll likely tell Cal that people are talking about him here, and see how long before his narcissism tempts him to come back and read it.

  He told me where to stick it.

Now do you see, DD?

the gif Lucifer posted? yes I can see it now. 

... or are you asking if I can see why I should stop talking about him?

... or if I can see that trying to tighten up the probability distribution in one area makes other areas less definable?

 

Oh do tell me the solution to that. I need to feel as if I know some probability...

get a cat, stick it in a box with a radioactive source and a phial of poison...

I never get why he used a cat. Surely there are more worthy victims out there...

yes, most of humanity, for a start.

Oh yes, I agree... 

But would you keep the cat?

[Lucifer]

natch.  and the poison...   

[Christopher McCandless]

natch.  and the poison...   

Make sure its a slow acting one, at that. I enjoy watching suffering...

[Lucifer]

right you are.

He said he won't come back?
