A sad, sad irony has come to my attention in my short time here..
The "tough guy" contigent on the board: these poor souls appear to be nothing more than misguided 1's! (I'm right you're wrong.. You're a 6, I'm an 8, and he's a 5)
The sad thing is, what is called the "Type 4 Board" has turned into a playground for non-fours to do what it seems all non-fours love to do in real life.... Pick on the sensitive mind and soul of fours...
You guys are so pathetic, I'd almost feel sorry for you if you weren't such insensitive dolts... I read back a ways, and the people here have always been open to non-fours coming here and expressing their views, etc... They never said, "Hey you're not a 4, so get the hell out!" (Which would have been a stereotypical 6 reaction, by the way).
But now, it seems like all you guys do is pick people you don't like, and make derisive remarks about them until they are so hurt that they leave...
And that, friends, is no way to run a forum like this. I showed up here, expecting to find people like me...and a place where I could just talk with those people without feeling threatened, and without them feeling threatened as well.
Instead, I found some people who were like me. And I found them being belittled, and told that they were "fakers" and didn't know anything, and so forth.
It's a great environment, eh folks? People leaving by the droves... weekly outbursts...
"I know more than you, therefore you are what I say you are." That's the mentality of a lot of people around here, and I don't like it.
Love
