When one of us was directly attacked, it was with some of the most insane, mentally ill language imaginable. The differences were always political, and often religious. A self described good Christian would write the most hateful possible things, almost as if they were directly out of the mind of Hitler- but they contained no profanity, so the speech was OK. Not sinful.
I have been here since Boardhost was chosen. Saw creation of this, the others. The ability to register enabled control of the wilful troll invasion. We have enjoyed a relative peace ever since.
R&E is a meeting ground of the two old enemies, and a casualty list called DNR is found at the header page bottom, listing the old adversaries by name.
Point of this, is what was achieved? What accomplished? In N years, almost nothing changed. It's like an old effing soap opera. The Edge of Night. All My Children. Miss a few years, tune in and within minutes you're brought up to date. Erica Kane has married and divorced five times and STILL is involved with Nick What's His Name. Tad Martin's innocent efforts to unite with his childhood sweatheart were thwarted by another meddling third party. Adam Chandler's efforts to control Pine Valley, Palmer Cortlandt, the Buchanans, the Martins, the Kanes, the Tylers... Maximillian Briar is still a physical bully who reguarly beats up on smaller men for interference with and control of their love lives.
My mother watched them regularly, and when I stayed home, I saw them too. Remember lots of details because that's how my brain works. Memorized up here are millions of notes... my nature to memorize and remember all those notes and other details. Point is I remember.
This place is my soap opera. I spend the same kind of time here my mother spent watching her daily soap operas, and for what?
The exact same damned arguments fought here twenty years ago persist today. What do we have to do to end it? Die off? A few did, and STILL nothing improves, or even changes.
I learned things about how human nature works, and damned if I can do anything about it. Learned how differences become wars, and again, damned if I can do anything about it. Only in here (tapping on chest and head) can I do anything about it.
I know I don't have much time left. The road ahead is so short, I can see the end. The road behind is long and its course remains crystal clear. Ravages of dementia or Alzheimer's have not yet enveloped it in a fog. Then and only then will the msn board wars end for me.
