FR Hmmmm. Only started posting here last year, so I can't help with the institutional memory thang . . .. . I come here, in large part, for some social connection. I do a lot of more solitary reading on the 'net, too, news sources & all kinds of stuff. But I post to message boards because I'm yearning for some human interaction, to connect. &, due to my various quirks, I'm most comfortable engaging in intellectual discourse & at a distance. Staying safely ensconced way up in my head & behind my keyboard until I think it's safe to come down & out . . .. . . I read here with the avatars & post counts disabled, so I never see any of that unless I specifically turn that feature back on . . . . & I tend to post only when I have something at least sorta original to contribute or when a surveying kind of question grabs my interest . .. . & I'm gonna let Paul Reubens & Jewel say the rest of my piece for me . . . . Paul Reubens Playboy interview, September 2010: Over and over you hear people say, “Well, you’re an actor. This is what you signed up for.” Who thinks that way? Who are these people who think you sign up to be shit on? Or people say, “Toughen up. Get some tougher skin!” Here’s the truth: (a) I’m an artist, (b) I don’t want to have tough skin, (c) I don’t want to live in a world where everybody has to have this tough skin and has to pretend what happened didn’t hurt my feelings, and (d) it does hurt my feelings! Fuck you. Go say that about somebody else. Jewel, I'm Sensitive Okay, yeah, I do wanna add to that last. I like being sensitive. I've worked at being more sensitive over time, rather wholistically. Don't know how it works for others, but my emotional sensitivity & physical sensory sensitivity are all intertwined & increasing sensitivity to any one tends to increase sensitivity in all of them, a slow subtle process. It has its prices but it's worth it, to me . . . . . .
