When I post there's no emotion behind my postings except maybe humor or boredom but that's it. I don't feel anger or excitement or anything else and I certainly don't get angry or excited when other people post about me. I don't take online stuff seriously at all. If I ever felt I was getting emotional over online stuff I'd turn my computer off and smash it to pieces lol. Even in real life when people want to argue or confront me about something I never ever get involved...I simply walk away..no anger, no emotion...just walk. I don't find any reason to put myself in the middle of conflicts. I just don't see any reason to. It's not like it's important and it's not something that is going to change my life or their's. It's not worth the hassle. I live a simple life.

FR I have a hard time with anyone thinking badly of me, even if it's a clerk at a store somewhere far from my home that I'll never see again. That also goes for message boards. I do get affected personally if someone takes a virtual bite out of me. I also don't like getting on anyone else's case, either. I have ventured out a little bit on these boards to debate here and there, and I believe one or twice I've even achieved snark. But it's more of an experimental bravery rather than me not giving a shit. There are some posters here that are very confrontational. I tend to just avoid them rather than take them on. It would be too much for me.

quote: ORIGINAL: stellauk I remember years back when studying astrology reading articles about the research and studies undertaken by French astrologer Michel Gauquelin. He was of the opinion that it was the 'iG effect' and fluctuations in the electromagnetic force fields which explained the influence of the Moon on both bodies of water and animal and plant behaviour. Apparently the cerebral cortex and central nervous system is a finely tuned receptor of such influences. This is cobblers. The moon does not influence "bodies of water".

As for the OP - this thread looks like the usual guff about her being a special snowflake, so it's all rather self-indulgent. I see it as nothing more than a transparent attempt to tell us all how wonderful she is.

Oh little unaware one.....you like to put yourself on such a fragile pedestal, trying to make as though you are above the mere mortals. Well little buckarooo, you created one of the most assine shit storms I've seen around here in a long time so I guess that does make you 'special'. But certainly NOT of an admirable variety. Truth be told, I would put you now in the same fucktard category as one of the craziest nastiest mental case posters I've seen on these forums in a long time....one that likes to create nasty little socks just to spew it's mentally ill hateful venom.And yanno, considering the shared obsession with the girls, and the way you've followed them around to spew your nastiness....if there are socks around here you are one of that psychotic twats. Prior to the last few days, as much as I disliked a lot of what you've spewed forth these forums, you've managed to toss out a few gems. I was actually started to think you had a decent functioning, though often misguided, brain in your over inflated head. Thank you for showing me how terribly wrong that change in thought was. Anyone that finds you an admirable human being, let alone one fit to lead, after the last few days, needs their own pea brain examined. So that being said, if you think I care one iota what you think of me and my thread, you really are sorely mistaken. As for my thread, I wanted to thank everyone that added something to give me thought. I think that we all so often make the mistake of assuming other people read/see/feel/whatever....the same way we do. The older I've gotten, the more I've realized how very wrong that really is and how much disharmony it creates. I enjoy reading and listening to how others, well MOST others, process stuff. As for the moon affecting us. I know that I've heard and read reports about police and ER room getting a dramatic increase in business during full moon times but I would be more inclined to believe that the increase in drama on here is more closely related to the unrest in the world. So much going on that is scary and negative to many, I think it is creating a climate of negativity and fear. People tend to strike out the worst when they are the most fearful

And to some of us you are a boor and a bore and very self self-indulgent in your posts. It is personal perception.

quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse quote: ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr With only a very few exceptions (people that suffer from grave mental/emotional disorders), I don't see how anyone can be *completely* dis-passionate about a subject upon which they have formed an opinion. I would suggest that the very fact that they've formed an opinion suggests a certain amount of "emotional involvement". I think the very nature of being human beings means that some amount of emotion is involved in the reasoning process. Having said that, I am passionate about a few subjects and therefore; have very strong opinions about them. The only times I have ever gotten angry is when an ad hominem attack has been launched which I know to be untrue (either about me or someone else). Firstly, in civilized debate, personal attacks have no place. They don't move the discussion forward and they're just beneath people who are supposed to be loving, sentient, beings. Peace and comfort, Michael I completely understand your first two paragraphs. Certainly there is some amount of emotion in all aspects of our lives. It is the third paragraph I don't get, the getting angry at words on a screen typed by people you do not know well enough to care what they think. If I sincerely care about a person, respect that person.......then what they think really matters to me. It's the whole, being clueless about the type of person that is sitting on the other side.......that's what I struggle with. If I don't care about the person, if I don't have any respect for their opinions, then I don't really care what they think about me or my opinions. That's where I can't be arsed to be upset. Great topic, LaT. I think that if you are a fairly normal person, vs. someone with anger management issues or insanity, the only time you may demonstrate anger or hear anger in someone's words online is when the person is reacting to the words on the page on a touchy subject. Sometimes, you are just having a bad, freaking day and you want to vent to pixels. Of course, you really should not ever do that; even if a topic upsets you on a personal level, you don't know someone well enough to respond with real anger and you should walk away from the computer if something is affecting you that strongly. I understand what you mean about other posters; I don't know very many people personally on the boards, even though I have spoken on the phone to some. But I can still "like" or "hate" someone based only on their words and my initial response in the past was to react. Now, I don't post as a personal reaction, I only comment on a topic because I just do not care enough to get upset at strangers. I also think some people have too much free time so they become highly invested in the boards.

It's not some ridiculous affinity for water the moon has. It's gravity, it's physics and people are not influenced by the moon because they're largely made up of water. The predilection to believe such nonsense largely rests with the female of the species. Funny that.

Doesn’t gravity affect us as well??? Cheryl

yawn So basically, I called out a bald-faced liar and destroyed your foursome lesbian fantasy you've become terribly invested in. Boo fucking hoo. Harden up, Nancy. I never take anything you say seriously. You're one of the more vainglorious posters who simply doesn't get how transparent she is and I honestly couldn't be bothered getting into a pissing contest with someone who consistently demonstrates a chronic ability to engage in self-mockery. Nice attempt at re-framing reality, but fortunately there's enough people here who saw what went down and won't be fooled by your rather amusing desire to rewrite history. I tell you what, why don't you email some folks and bad-mouth me behind my back. That'll make you feel better! Thank you, come again!

quote: ORIGINAL: Cherylmazana Doesn’t gravity affect us as well??? Cheryl Yes, it keeps the Australians from falling off the earth. Gravity affects everything which has mass. It does not, however, psychologically affect people because they're made of water. If anyone believes that, I commend to them a study of Franz Mesmer. He did quite well by exploiting the gullible.

So that’s how it works, I always wondered why they didn’t fall? Do you think they get headaches though from standing on their heads all the time? Cheryl

We get headaches from trying to explain geopolitics to Americans. You have to start by informing them that other countries exist and then work them up through trade and politics. It's dreadfully tedious.
