I, at least, am a dinosaur on these boards, a relic from an earlier time when the only moderator was the sweet lick of flame.
I've never put anyone on ignore. I forget that the flag feature exists. I get upset when threads are locked, when nasty tags are deleted. I don't rely on the SG-privilege to stay safe.
I like the mess and the flaming. I like being insulted and spitting venom back. I don't just snark in private groups and friends threads. I want to get in fights, especially when, say, certain individuals whom I have never spoken to insult me and then pussyfoot around instead of apologizing like, you know, a fucking grown-up, and even more so when they fuck with people whom I love.
It releases a lot of stress, and you know, it's the goddamned internet. You're not supposed to take it seriously.
I am a goddess / angel. Forget what other's say!!
So I'm a dinosaur, and whenever I'm reminded of this, it just reminds me how much things have changed in five years.
And how fucking lame it is.
Speaking of fucking lame, I'm writing melodramatic blog entries. How much do I suck?
ADDENDUM: OKAY, SHAL, YOU CHANGED MY MIND.
(it's another user's phrase verbatim, used as an inside joke.)
OW! Not the face. **whine**
**sigh** Miss you. Hope schoolin's going good and yer gettin' yer lernin' in.
Can't wait to see you Saturnday!
