Subject: The Great Message Board Swindle. Who killed Bambi?

I don't view Stephen's Message Board as being "his", exactly. He hardly, if ever, frequents the place, and if he decided to visit, I'm assuming it would be about as brief as his visits to "Moore's message board". I mean, for all practical purposes, Rev. William Moore has more or less gained dominance over the place since Stephen's absence. To me, this means that there is no magical lure to Stephen, but on the contrary, to have more traffic at a board and more people to conversate with. That's his point of going back. I mean, Brain, if you ever noticed, Rev. William Moore often complained that there isn't enough people coming to his board. Therefore it only makes sense to go back to a place you know more people will visit. Also, it seemed people, like Oxymoron, were more resistant to Rev. William Moore's board, for some dumbass reason. So, whether or not Moore decided to post a link to his message board, I think only the same few people would show up.

Generally, I try not to let emotions or words get to me. Well, I have gotten a bit ill when my intentions and/or information was misunderstood. I become annoyed when I feel like people aren't listening or they aren't connecting the dots between facts and don't use their brain to the potential I know they can use it. That annoys me. Although, everything else I might appear to get mad about, I really don't. It's extremely rare that I actually get mad or pissed about anything (except for maybe the subject itself - like social/political corruption). I mean, I don't sit and stew over a conversation I had online. I'm too indifferent and easily distracted, to tell you the truth. Sure, sometimes I might think about what facts I could offer to bring a point home, or what to say, but I don't let it get to me. I really believe the past should be left in the past. However, if one has made a promise to themselves not to do something, I can respect that.

Still, message boards and the internet, for me, has always been for mental stimulation and information. In my mind, there is no reason to hold a grudge, or make enemies. When somebody does something as stupid as offer another a "rubber cookie" or say "fuck off" to another person, that's typically them showing their ass, and how idiotic they are. But it's no reason to hold a life long grudge. There are too many problems in this world to let that get under your skin. And those people are idiots, fucked up, or something is personally troubling them, and another shouldn't make it their life-long pain. Because, in my mind, that gives them way more power over you than the very convictions you hold so dear.

I think that's about it. I'm done.
