@marichiko: I will continue simply being myself. I like me. Do you like you?

I have several active threads going on other boards. You've posted on them.

Is it mandatory to post on the "Field of 64" thread?

Yeah, sorry for the omission, Flint.

Good for you that you have a healthy sense of self esteem. There are aspects of myself that I like very much and other aspects that I don't care for much. I think I am not alone in this. No one is perfect, and most people are aware that they are not themselves.

However, there is a difference between being self referential and having a healthy sense of self esteem. I try to listen to the feedback of others and if I keep hearing the same thing from enough different people, I at least give some consideration to their words. If I accidently step on someone's toe in a crowded elevator, I apologize; I don't say to them "I like the way I am."

No "Field of 64" is not required, but its a fast moving thread consisting of one liners which you guys claim is what you want.

I never said that. I never said that is what I wanted.

Has Jochser been banned? How can I tell when/if someone has been banned.

The word "banned" will appear under their user name. In Jochster's case. you can take a look at this thread.

Actions speak louder...

And you haven't addressed what the REALLY important points are here - being self referential and your own possible fear of change.

I'm waiting *taps foot impatiently*

Yes, those points are important to you, obviously, because you made them. Aren't you being a little self referential?

Sometimes, humorous profanity needs to be...well, humorous, for starters, but perhaps worked in a bit more subtly. I like to think of it as aspiring to the verbal/written equivalent of an old time striptease as opposed to the latest issue of Hustler.

at what point does an individual cross the threshold and become too annoying to stay in the cellar. i'm all for fresh blood, but this is ridiculous. i think it is time to start tossing some asses out.

i haven't been around that much lately while wrapping up the divorce, but i have to say i find no reason whatsoever to even open homebase anymore.

One of the greatest things about the Cellar is that you can be incredibly asinine and still have a home. One of the worst things about the Cellar is that you can be incredibly asinine and still have a home.

UT has a high tolerance for idiots--at least, he used to. I'm not around enough anymore to say that with confidence, but I would imagine that that has not changed. And that's probably more good than bad in the end.

I still enjoy Cellar, but I just don't have a lot of time to spend here anymore, so I just check out the threads that sound interesting to me.

Of course, any post that I make is very interesting, and should be worshipped and admired.

As far as what we all do here, didn't I already outline the "Stuff of Life" in another thread in response to an AGer? Guys, this is not a chat room, it is a forum. You could read stuff that preceded you.

Syc-- That's exactly what I do too. I cherry pick the threads, maybe 15% of them. The only reason I read this thread was because my usual threads had no new posts this hour.

I totally gave up on the other forum that we both belong to. I'm a mod there and a 5 year member. But, it has just gone to hell. And, you know the other forum CTA and I founded is really dead. But, I'd rather it dead than invite a bunch of assholes.

So, although I'm a mod at two other places, now my main online hangout is The Cellar. It quietly rocks, if you know what I mean.

Uh, whatever...dude, when's your site going back up? I like regular affirmation that me and my man are not the only sickeningly sweet couple around these parts.
