ORIGINAL: Hippiekinkster Why do you think that men are any different? I mean, actual men, and not moronic children who live to watch morons who run up and down an astroturf field or wood floor? We aren't. We want security, attention, being held, being told we are good people, all that stuff. I gather you are going through a rough time, but how much of that is because you don't know how to listen? Perhaps your soon-to-be ex is a flaming asshole. Perhaps not. But relationships don't arise in a vacuum, and they don't flame out spontaneously. Booze doesn't help. I learned that the hard way. And the people you are posting to here are, IMO, the last people you want to go to for advice. Truly, if you want to know how to beat a DWI wherein the drunken driver nearly kills someone, talk to Term. He's PROUD of getting away with shit. Real role model there. Don't get me wrong; I like certain aspects of Term. But other aspects of him are truly despicable. There are a couple women here who hack at themselves with knives and razor blades. Yet there are others who nod their heads sagely at the sane and sensible advice the self-mutilators give. And, of course, the enablers tell the self-hackers that there is nothing wrong with their behavior; it's a rational response to the insanity of modern civilization. Right. I'm trying to heal some serious physical wounds, so I come here and occasionally post. I primarily post in Politics and Religion, because I have an interest in Politics. I have posted here occasionally because there is another person, whom I have met in person, who posts here, and I don't have an easily accessable profile elsewhere. So this is as good a place as any to communicate. And occasionally there is a true cry for empathy/sympathy, such as Grinner's recent loss. Now, I don't know the guy, so I feel that any expression of sympathy from me would be false, and I refuse to jump on the false sympathy bandwagon. Likewise, I refuse to jump on the false Internet friendship bandwagon. I have revealed certain things about myself previously, because I got sucked into the fake intimacy of the net. I don't know any of you, except for one whom I have actually met. But the medium seems to engender a false sense of personal knowledge and friendship. And it is quite interesting when one observes that the people, few they may be, that one actually, in real life, knows, hold their imaginary friendships in higher esteem that those that are real. That, in fact, is the reality of this thread. One sees page after page of people proclaiming their affection for one another, whom they actually have never even met, while those they have met become invisible. "I admit that I am so overwhelmed by the online persona written by some person whi says they are in London that I have to put a towel under my cunt." One doesn't even know of there is actually a human being writing this pap. Maybe, Ghita, you are getting confused reading the crap here that passes for wisdom, but which is actually complete and total horseshit. There is not a single person here whom I would turn to for advice on anything other than simple technical stuff. I mean, I might not be the world's sharpest guy, but I know the difference between the real world and some douchebag on the internet babbling about fluoride. Have another drink. I admit, folks will just have to preface My statements with "I admit" for the following. You know, HK, you were hitting the mark with the first couple of paragraphs. Even into the third with saying that booze doesn't help when feeling emotional. After that, you just went straight down the hole. There absolutely are folks on this site that I'd turn to for help if I were having issues or confusing thoughts about being poly. Certainly people that I would go to if I felt I was having those kinds of thoughts about My marriage. Some I've met, some I haven't. Some I've just talked to on the phone. The fact that you don't feel any genuine sympathy for someone when they mention on a thread that they've lost a family member enough to say that you're sorry for their loss is your own business. Criticizing those that do is an entirely different matter. I know what it's like to lose a brother (two, actually) so I don't have to know Grinner himself to know what that loss feels like. I don't have to know the man to know that the pain sucks and be sorry that he has to experience it. I'm aware of the pain that you are still going through and the physical issue that you've had for some time. Every once in a while, it seems like it's your reason for attacking people on the net. It's obvious when it's getting the better of you. There's no difference between you acting out because of your pain than someone coming here to say something about a topic that they are struggling with. For the record, I'd love to have the opportunity to meet a lot of folks from this thread. They seem like good people. I hope you have a better day today. Somebody pass the waffles.
