I guess I don't know. Or maybe I do.

You just don't know, you see this used to be very interesting but as you may have noticed I stopped responding. That's right I stopped responding to posts with stupid bickering in them all the time. That's just about all of them. The other ones are so partisan, as if the fucking party matters, that those who disagree just stay away.

That's what I'm calling and that's because it's what I'm seeing. Someone accused people here of having the mentality of eighteen years olds. I won't do that. And those of you who know what I actually mean by that can take it with a grain of salt. Those who had to be told will never admit who they are.

I don't want to respond to any of this shit. If I agree with one I make an enemy of another. You think I'm stupid ? I was born in a fucking warzone and it just got bigger. I have had so many friends that were enemies with each other it's been hard to have a decent fucking party. I am experienced in this shit. And I'm tired of it.

I'm not sure what it is with people here lately, but it is seriously worse than usual. People who never caused trouble in years are engaging in name calling and making enemies left and right. This is the plan of the social engineers, and if you think that's tinfoil hat shit, think again. I KNOW how to divide and conquer, I have done it. "They" put forth these issues to you, and do it just right in such a sequence that you will change your opinion just to disagree with your percieved enemy. That keeps the status quo. What the fuck do you think they pay all those high priced advisors and press releasers and shit for ?

Someone said I should take a class in psychology, hell  I should give one. But I won't. The watered down bullshit you study today has nothing to do with how to get on top by uniting your chosen allies and dividing your chosen enemies. And one of the reasons I do not respond these last couple days, and probably won't for a bit, is because I haven't chosen any enemies here, and I don't want them chosen for me.

Very few of you know how to argue, all you can do is cite and quote. What about your own words, explaining WHY you believe something is true rather than what your opponent believes ? Because you can't. Because you weren't born into the right background and never had the right experiences. You went to highschool debates and thought you learned it there, you did not.

Start a topic that doesn't blame one political party or the other, one that really will intrigue people. Everyone participating then conduct yourself like adults, and then maybe I will respond. But until then, I guess I will just repond to myself. And you know what ? You can all ignore me, but if the management of this site thinks that my posts forward the interests which I THINK are the interests of this site, my posts will stand for the entire world to see. But not you. You will be excluded from responding. You will not call my shit batshit, nor speak of tinfoil because you won't be aware that these threads exist.

If you like I can mail you incessantly to MAKE you ignore me. Then I will have a platform from which to speak unmolested by your childish barbs as long as you keep your current membership.

The practical and technological implementation of true ignorance. You are headed for it, just do it and be done with it. But you really don't need my help or encouragement. Only one thing I think, it's possible that posters are starting to get on the Mods nerves, and if this shit keeps up we may see the return to some form of draconian rules here. You want that ? Think about it kids.

It it what it is, Termy, and we are just a typical reflection of what is going on in the world around us.  I'm dumping people on Facebook for just the same political stuff (I don't do that there).  What's wrong with baby pictures, and embarrassing snaps from drunken weekends?

I won't be blocking you though, even if you do post some serious batshit, sometimes.

I agree that the tone of the place has deteriorated here, and frankly it's bothersome.  However, that is the nature of large groups - things wax and wane.

Give it time. Another site will become popular, everyone will run to it. We'll all leave here. That site will deteriorate just as this one has and so the cycle continues.

It's inevitable. I've seen it happen online on these types of sites more often than I can remember.

When you see something like that go across the scroll, you've got to wonder what prompted it.

Yes, it has.  My personal theory on it has a lot to do with the overload of new folks compared to the older folks.  I won't sidetrack Term's thread on the matter, but it's what I personally think.

Yeah, well, to continue my ICE of non-thought, I see certain names over elsewhere, too. But certain people are too hip to acknowledge awareness of someone from CM. Or too assholish. Whatever.

It aint so bad or so different than it has been over the years. Some posters change the flavor of the place but some of the ones who arent here anymore did too. I miss some old school posters, wish they would come back but otherwise, oh well.

When I got here folks were whining about the very same thing, "CM has chaaanged, it usta be soooo good now it sucks"

I sometimes wonder what I'm doing here too...but that has nothing to do with this site or anything other than my own personal life situation.

At times the nastiness and vindictiveness of some of the attacks that fly back and forth wears thin.  It seems to have heated up a bit recently.  Not a big deal, except now I'm  avoiding reading a few people that I otherwise enjoyed following their posts.  Not sure what is going on, but it isn't as if there aren't a bunch of other people I enjoy just as much so no worries.  I just find it depressing, especially if it was someone that I liked and followed.  Not whining about it, but since it was brought up I don't see any reason not to share my viewpoint on the matter.

I have cut back on these types of sites too, it makes it more tolerable. The bickering, the cussing, and jumping on a bandwagon without regard for the subject can be irritating. I still haven't left because some of it is worth reading and sometimes even responding seems like a good idea, particularly if I see the direction going right to attack without any explanation of why.
I am fortunate in that I don't generally give a rip when someone attacks me for my position.

I don't know.  I still miss Archer around the place.  Rover, too.  Who else is going to say, "Kinky people will argue belly button lint, if you give them a chance"?  I miss Merc and especially beth.  If people couldn't learn from her, I don't know what to tell you.

I'm glad I came here when I did.  I'm kind of sorry that some new folks won't have the same introduction.

They were saying that back when I joined, so apparently it's sucked for a loooooong time. Basically the people saying that are just whining because somebody they liked has stopped posting. We all have those posters we enjoy and who we follow and we have those who we could do without. Everybody has those posters, the ones you would miss and the ones you would never miss. Some of the sites' all-time favourites are on my "won't miss them" list, so it's entirely subjective. Posters come and go, people get bored, people get butt hurt, people move on. Stick around long enough and you learn not to let it get to you.

My basic advice to those who bemoan the state of the site is to shut up and man up.

If the quality of the topics suck, then post some good topics. If the quality of the discourse suck, then raise your own, set an example.

That being said we have some excellent posters here now, some old and some new. Some who are greatly entertaining right now and some who show great potential to be seriously valuable members if they stick around and mature a little as posters and kinksters.
