I'm Sorry!

[funster]

I wanted to take a moment and let everybody on this site know that it works sometimes. I touched base with an old friend from straight tonight and it made me feel good. I was glad to hear that she was doing well, and was happy to share some of my present. The past was talked about but I dont think dwelled on. It was a fun conversation because the focus was on "how are you" and not "how were you". This site sucks a lot because of angry people, but tonight I found it to be a little therapeutic, which is what I am sure it was intended for. I will always be willing to wade through a little shit to get to something that matters.

Getting in touch with old friends here is not the same as meeting new "friends" here.

See what I mean!





Lostnfound,DO NOT GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATIONS TO THESE PEOPLE!


Just because you have shared a common experience with THESE PEOPLE is no reason to feel as though you "know" them.


BEWARE!!!


GUARD YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATIONS AND REAL IDENTITY!!!"

Thank you for your words of wisdom.  I have been reading quite a bit on this forum and understand what you are talking about.  Name slinging seems to be something that some people enjoy.  I will be careful!  "

Its more than name slinging.
If you want to meet these people,ONLY do it at a protest or public event.Dont make arrangments to "meet" with anyone that you dont already know personally,or give any info over the phone,in emails,or even in a restaurant they invite you too.
Its the "activists" here that are out to get you.
The ones who seem to be trying to "make a difference".

They use this message board to compile lists of peoples personal info so they can use it for their own benifit in the future.
they really take advantage of desperate folks who stumble on this website.

I do not understand this?  How could you have perpatrated anything?  Were you victimising people?  Were you screaming and yelling at people about how they were shit and would never amount to anything if they didn't "follow the program and get honest?"  No, I don't think so.  They were the ones that were telling people to be true to themselves and what was truely right.  It was the rest of us that had no clue and were foolish to believe the bull shit.  I could be wrong, I guess I don't understand your statement here.  Can you please explain this to me?

LOL, I didn't mean the misbehavers! I was talking about the rest of us. We enforced the program. We confronted people; even about extremely sensitive private matters. Some people snitched on each other. Some people restrained people. Sometimes very violently. We all beltlooped newcomers.

Worst of all we all, if we were to move toward the door, we all pretended very, very convincingly that all of this and much, much more was good and right and even normal and that anyone who was insulted, angered or driven to some sort of nervous breakdown was wrong and just exhibiting signs of their substance abuse problem. And we supported or told these lies to people's parents.

That's what I meant by "we're all perpatrators". All but a rare few.

1) In real life, it's not really so much about feelings.
2) Program usage, normal usage would be something like ... that's just not a normal thing for anyone to say in public about an adult friend.
3) While gramaticians don't consider the passive tense to be technically erroneous, it is considered bad form.

I admit that I?m rather hyper-sensitive to the subtlest nuances of words.  When a newsreader states that: ?A settler was killed in a drive-by shooting.?   My linguistic antennae buzz and shriek in alarm.  The sentence may be grammatically correct, but its every word and term are filled will political messages.

(4) Why are they so angry, do ya' think? And who are they angry at? Any idea?
(5) No, it's not. See anon posts in all caps above. It's absolutely fucking bug all nuts to think that this is anything like a safe, therapeutic environment. My reason for hosting this site hasn't changed. It's all about getting the story out. If you hook up w/ good old friends, that's nice to hear but not my purpose or to my credit. If you hook up w/ some psychotic mind-fuker who trashes your life and heart, not my problem.

You get an f for grading my feelings you pitiful, bored, loser. are you trying to sabotage the usefullness of your own site?

[Anonymous]

And anyway, i thought this site was about you making money off of it. look at all of the ads that come on these threads now that you sanctioned and get paid for. this site is about ecommerce and your own inflated head. :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:  :scared:

Anon one, no, I'm getting good use out of it. As I say, the whole idea was to draw program culture and philosophy out from behind closed doors and into the light of day where normals can see it for what it is. Frankly, after nearly 20 years, I had given up on trying to explain it to anyone. Who would believe it? But this? This works! And thanks for your valuable contributions.

And, btw, while we, the staff of SIBS are conferring about whether to start you over or just suspend your responsibilities, you need t0 look over your posting history and consider making amends to all of the people who's feelings you have tried, and failed, to stomp into the ground. Where the hell is your awareness, Funster?!! How is it that a split druggie fuckup such as I am able to out program you w/o even breaking a sweat? Have a seat!

Anon #2 LOL, There ya' go thinkin' again! I've told you and I've told you, that always leads to trouble!

Fact is this shit costs me money. This sort of content is just not commercially viable. I've been wanting to test that theory for a couple of years now (among a few others), but just didn't have time till last December to deal with the inevitable fall out. I'll be expecting my very first check for $100 from google sometime this month or next. That helps to offset the roughly $40 - $75 monthly bandwidth bill (in addition to regular hosting fees) that you guys enjoy for free. Talk about cussin' the farmer with your mouth full!

But that's ok, as noted above, it's a bargain for me for a number of reasons. And thanks for your contribution too.  ::boycott:: ya' fuckin socialist!
