An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Guest I hate to tag you as one who does not understand how much programs effected us , but truth be known you don't know shit about what we have been through only the true survivors understand... So step back and take an open mind and you may learn something !!!

Sincerely Botched

Spare me. True survivors?  What is that supposed to mean? Contrary to your idiotic assumptions, I most likely spent more time in a program than you did, that was much more abusive than where you went, and unlike most of the posters here this didn't occur forty years ago. Believe me, I understand exactly what programs are like. But you know what? Arguing with Whooter all day, every day, even on Christmas isn't going to make me feel any better.

For some unknown reason, arguing with Whooter everyday appears to be some sort of therapy to you. Like I said in my other post, I find this sad. Fornits used to be known as a biker bar, well reading fornits these days is more like watching the bum in the park drink his 40 in a paper bag. It's just fucking sad, period.

But don't let me interrupt the group psychosis, it seems strangely enjoyable to many of you. I could make a similar assertion as you, that if you truly understand programs and how it effects people, you wouldn't suggest that posting on fornits is in any way a good idea. A waste of time perhaps, if you're lucky, but for many like RobertBruce, Whooter, DJ and Anne, it seems to have devolved into full blown mental illness, and addiction. The best thing for survivors at this point, is if this fucked up, censored, staff-run version of fornits goes offline forever. Which it will, eventually.

Quote from: "Whooter"

I understand that you and DJ are friends

I know him as much as I know you.  From postings only.  Never met him, nor talked on the phone and probably PMed just as much as I have with you, which is a handful at best.

But can't you see how similar you are? It's like he is your fellow kindred spirit, in the epic cosmic battle against the evil Whooter Empire. Whooter is an early riser, usually the first to post. Strangely enough, he also posts quite late many nights. I've heard the older you get the less you sleep, perhaps that explains it. But what's your routine, Anne?

You and DJ seem to start posting at about the same time each morning. It would seem you have somewhat similar routines, and also similar psychological needs, which is the only explanation for as why a sane adult person would dedicate themselves to feeding a troll, day in, day out. Do you get up about 6AM? Go for a job around the neighborhood, maybe? Or are you not that into health, and perhaps start the morning with a cigarette and coffee?

Well at some point, you kiss your family goodbye and sit down at the computer, and think to yourself... "Hmm, wonder what Whooter posted this morning?". You then log onto fornits, check what predictable, infinitely repeated argument Whooter made, and sign in and start responding. That leads into more topics of conversation and before you know it, you spent all day on the computer again, talking about hypothetical moral situations about how to handle adolescents in programs.

This, Dysfunction and Anne have both in common, some psychological need, some deep desire to have an intellectual and ego battle with Whooter. The reasons they give for this behavior are similar to what you'd hear from an alcoholic explaining why it's okay they drink everyday, all day long. It only makes sense to them. To us, shall I be as bold to call us sane, at least relatively speaking, on the outside looking in, well it's just confusing and appears as to be some sick form of self torture. Do these people not get bored of having the same argument, day in, day out? Do they really look forward every morning to sitting down and arguing with Whooter, once again?

Fornits does't seem to be a place where people come idly by and discuss things. The people who are regular posters on this forum have some need, some thing, that drives them to torture themselves with these behaviors. I can't say I know exactly what that need is. But luckily for the world it only seems to effect a minuscule portion of the survivor population. Most of us see fornits for the loony bin that it is. Although, it used to be good for entertainment. Now it's boring, predictable, and downright sad.
