MissTaken said:I am shutting down the pc for a while folks. Real life might be a good thing for me right now
OutsideObserver said:MissTaken, yes you might have been the only one to initially receive my post with respect and not ridicule, as every other poster did.
OutsideObserver said:
RisiaSkye, ugh, where to begin. I think we understand that life has it's constraints, yours most of all. Few of us have the schedule you do. I will give you that. But when I compare the number of posts you do here, meaning this BDSM forum, and the posts you do elsewhere, not just on Literotica, I have to wonder. Of course, it is your life and you have needs and wants. But the evidence surely backs up both my statements about you. And that really is fine I believe. It is your life and surely not any of my or anyone else's business. But, I think if we were to compare the number of posts you *used* to make here with the number you *currently* make here, we would see a very large decline. So again, my statements about the forum being on a decline as well as the moderator not posting here as often are right on the money. In fact, I would go as far as saying you post in other forums more now. But I am sure this is a touchy subject, so it is probably best dropped. Besides, I believe a valid argument can be made that it is not the moderators duty to post exclusively in the forum he/she moderates, but rather a luxury. The important fact is that the moderators duties are still in fact being done, which I believe is true. I was happy to see the thread titled "A plug for RisiaSkye".
OutsideObserver said:
Yes, I agree, conversations ebb and flow. Maybe this forum is in a long, long ebb. A very long ebb. You pointed out about Shadowsdream being on vacation. Mmm, maybe it's just from this forum. I do enjoy reading her posts elsewhere almost daily.
OutsideObserver said:
Question and berate the messenger, rather than just review the message. This forum surely does not owe me or anyone else here an explanation of why it is on the decline. It would be ridiculous to think so. Though, I would not doubt that you might view me as a quack who could think this. I have participated, I have made an effort, I have been productive. More so than most I would say. But yet, I still see a steady, constant decline.
OutsideObserver said:... and finally, surprising praise for my writing abilities from the serene Pussy Willow, not that we are on a site dedicated to writing.
OutsideObserver said:When was the last time you sat back and said to yourself, "Damn that is some good information?". It's been months for this lurker. I have to disagree about your fluff comment. Fluff is a great way for those people involved to get to know each other, and it's mostly flirting and what have you. It's more wasted space.
Lancecastor said:Hmmmm.
I've not read this thread since my post way back after Never popped in.
I lurked and watched Cym blow her predictable control-freak lid over at KT, so I guess I'm not surprised to see Her and some other Lit emigrees bring their dispute back here.
Pure.
As you know, my view of Pure was that she spent all her time trying to dig deeply into our practices, brains, values...but never talked about herself, what she did, what she stood for.
Ishmael, who rarely posts here, nailed her perfectly early on as someone here not to participate, but to gather information.
I've wondered since if perhaps Ish knows Pure under an a different Identity.
Pure seems to have been set up by someone in this case....I don't see Pure being the sort of poster to coyly add "purely" several times as an Unreg.
Pure always talks about Law...and the Troll Guest hasn't.
Pure could be Lavender from the GB, for example...but I don't know or care.
The point is that this thread was intended from the outset to sew seeds of dissention Here.
Look who has shown up:
Cymbidia
WillowPuss
ShadowsDream (references in absentia)
Never
Risia as a poster/combattant
All KT posters.
This is a Cymbidia KT FlameThread that has spilled over to the BDSM Forum.
Recognize it for what it is folks, then decide whether you want to keep this thread going, or whether you want to talk about BDSM.
If the nonsense continues, I'll fire up the Lancecastor FlameOMatic 3000 and broil a batch crunchy nuggets we can munch on over beers at TopOpolis some evening.
Just for fun. Yummmytrollfryingfunmmmm.
I might even cross post some of the choice CymBits I've gathered from KT as appetizers, just to show what you've missed...and how right I was about the two-faced skanky ho the first, second and third time round.
Hungry?

That's what I get for missing lunch!
UCE said:You are clueless about this particular issue, my man or woman. Fluff is an essential ingredient in the complex mix known as a message forum. Without allowing fluff, or in places where fluff is censored or disapproved of, you kill everyone's motivations for posting, including the motivations of those of us who know the very most and perhaps have that vital piece of information that you desperately need. But fuck it, if I can't joke, chat, say something silly to the few in a forum I am friends with, then the HELL if I'm going to strew any pearls of wisdom before ultra-serious lurkers. Nope. You take away fluff, and you kill a discussion board dead, unless the motivation to post to that board is something other than the kindness of one's heart for the ignorant--like money maybe, or the loss of your job or an F in your course if you don't post. None of those situations apply here--it's ALL voluntary, and if you want volunteers, you gotta give them something back in return. Many of us come here for F U N fun and while the definition of that little word varies quite widely, in most siutuations it includes the freedom to fluff a little. Take away my ability to fluff and you aren't getting anything worthwhile from me in return, I can guarantee you that. In most voluntary forums, fluff, as much as the overly serious may dislike it, is the fuel that inspires and makes possible the "really good stuff"--the stuff that is long and hard and takes great time and energy to write. Without fluff you can't get to know your audience emotionally and there is no reward in handing out the quality to what is essentially a big sucking black hole.
Unda. Crucia. Eximius.

Which just goes to show, sharing information and thoughts is a very good thing indeed.

Lancecastor said:Why was that even necessary?
It was necessary for my sake, not for yours. I felt it was necessary to find out why it was necessary for you to make that original post in the first place. However since it wasn't necessary that your response be made to me necessarily, then I find it necessary to respond to your questions. I do find, however, that necessity is definitely in the eye of the beholder.
Is necessity a requisite ?
No. Its not. Maybe I missed your intent though. I assumed that you felt it was necessary to make the post, because you did. Was necessity a requisite for you?
Are you the Necessity Clearing House?
Yes - but, only in the tri-county area of Michigan. However, since Michigan desparately wants to be part of Canada, we are seeking to expand. Any interest in becoming a franchise?
Are their sweepstakes?
Yes. But only when necessary.
With valuable prizes?
Yes. But only when necessary.
Am I registered to claim my prize?
No. You can register. But, only if you feel its necessary.
Are you the Mother of Invention?
No. Not a mother. Am only good at inventing excuses.
Is Frank still dead?
No. He's kicking it with Elvis and Morrison at an remote tropical island.
Would you care for a pickle?
MMMMM. pickles. But only if its dill.
