Just a thought
Member Blog post · General
I was thinking about it as I was texting with a couple people this morning about how shitty I feel, the fact that my whole body hurts after a long night of little sleep and a sore throat, a couple good mornings, 2 phone conversations during my 90 minute commute to the office and an email that I read that made me laugh. I am in communication, in some way or another, with a very large number of my fellow Goreans. Male, female, free and slave, and even some that are no longer around. And yet, I find it kind of funny... not funny ha ha, but funny sad... That I am one of maybe a couple that most of the people I talk to on a daily basis talk to or have ever talked to. I am the ONLY one that some have even thought of calling, texting or having a beer with (You know who you are, cheers!).
But then I thought about why this is. It seems that we as a community are out to fuck each other over at any given chance, some of us have been carrying grudges for years against others for something, that while... at the time was important, should have been done and over with years ago. Some of us take a shot at romance, and fail. *guilty*
Some of us are just... indifferent toward others feelings. It's all part of being human. I guess. But we are squandering our ability to be friends with people who, believe it or not, share an interest that is WELL beyond small. I am going to end it here, because I don't need to keep ranting about this. But, think for a moment, about how much different it would be if we stopped being complete dicks to each other and started saying "Hey, perhaps we should work together" instead of being so adversarial.
Just my quarterly rant, folks. On to the next task of the day.

Get to feeling better, Administrator!
I have missed Yer "rants". Hope Ya get to feeling better soon, and tea with honey works (It really does) See Ya later, Free Man!
Familiar rant Barthello : ) I can only speak for myself but I am a very private person and I can count on one hand how many people have my phone number or r/l details. It could mean I want to fuck people over, or don't care about anyone but myself, but those that know me understand it is not for those reasons. Do I care what **everyone** thinks of me? Not hardly. But I do care about enjoying and being part of a community - of which I have, until I cant. I'll explain --
hehehe, you ran outa space too, dint ya!
When the less desirable parts of a community are small and occasional, it is something I can tolerate and still be involved. When they are more frequent and multiply (dualling or no) I tend to step back. When they become the rule not the exception, I have to make a choice. In real life I may *have* to deal with less desirable parts because it is necessary and sometimes there isnt a choice. Here - for me, there is always a choice. So I think in the end, I agree with you. Feel better soon.
