how many people actually come here for a self-esteem boost?
afraid to post here because you're afraid people will say something bad in return? C'mon! I can possibly understand that in real life, but this board is not real life!
In real life, we would be snickering at you behind your back and pretend like we really cared when you happened to be around.
there is something completely delusional about this site, and here it is:
that what you say matters and will get you somewhere.
Sure, you might be on David T's Hall of Fame and have a 2 next to your intelligent quip instead of a 1, but big woo (on the grand scale)! Eventually your messages get archived, but not soon enough for the people tired of reading them.
None of this gets you anywhere. It distorts the actual picture of what you've accomplished on the outside. Even if you find someone around here who half way thinks you are very interesting. I mean, sorry, what do they really know? They may know what they like, but please, let's not go overboard on it. The next Morrissey is not going to be created off of this board because it's just way too impossible.
After all, this is a suspension of real life where you can see what someone says and think it's grand and all, but only in the message itself. you've completely lifted them out of the social context of what the rest of their life is like. It's not like we can drop everything and become brain surgeons all at once. And when you are locked into your life as it is, you're going to think a certain way or only be able to do certain things.
And when you get lifted out of a social context, what they spew on this board should be taken as nothing but spew. We sit around and argue about or praise Morrissey, and that is our lone common goal. Some people may be more intelligent than others, but who cares? Just remind yourself that in real life, this is probably you wouldn't be seen with no matter how big of fans of Morrissey you are.
Its' kind of like high school in that regard. Now we're forced to mingle with the other cliques and find that we don't like it a lot.
