Streen, all I know about you is the ranting. Every time I've seen you post in the past it was a verbal diarrhea of attacks without discussion. For me when I see any of your accounts pop up on threads I think "Oh gods, what's he up to now?" and don't normally open the threads unless I'm bored and feel like watching some drama.

I was bored so here I am XD

Now, if you are sincere in wanting to be a part of the community, I also recommend putting input into the forums. Thing is, I have no idea who you are and I can be considered among the 'old timers' here now.

"He who knows does not speak; he who speaks does not know". Ya know?


"Actions speak louder than words" and all that, but the problem with the internet is there's no action, there's only words. We can only learn and instruct with words here. Words show us the shape of a person. And those words over time will build the reputation of that person. I'd hazard to say that when I choose to speak, most of the folks who've been around for a while will give weight to my words. Since I haven't been as active lately, the newcomers don't know me yet. Some people I'll take their words as law (so to speak), then there are other folks who when they speak, I disregard them. Both for the same reason. Their words over time have proven worthwhile (or not) to listen to.

So find a thread that's interesting to you, and add your thoughts and engage in discussion. Ask questions, involve yourself in chat. These are all ways we get to know you and how to build your reputation one way or the other if that is what you desire.

Am I the only one that’s confused on how you pronounce Gedi?

Is it an odd spelling of Jedi, or is it pronounced Geh-di, like the unholy offspring of giddy and yeti.

Anyone?

Ooh, someone actually talked about the content of the mystery site -

Here, we are Gedi, rebels against the religion, focusing on self-fulfillment and the liberation of the mind.'

I'm sure taken out of context, but it's all I've got - If the author is referring to TotJO as "The Religion" and feels that a good rebellion is in order...then gee whiz I want to live where they live, in must be a magical wonderland of freedom and expression if the most oppressive thing they can find to fight is TotJO.

like the unholy offspring of giddy and yeti.

Who the hell are you to sit in judgment of the love affairs of Yeti?IT'
Damn, maybe they're right. Friggin prescriptive religions, telling me how to live.

I find it jarring that people who write "lol" are old enough to have baggage now. That is apropos of nothing, just fed up with those dang kids on kids on my lawn, etc etc.

It's not a competition and we don't know each other well enough for me to care much what your baggage is, but it's naive of you to imagine you're the first living creature with problems - That's not a throw away line(bee tee dubs), realising that might be a good step to communicating and bonding with your fellow humans.
