Recollections

[Emerson40]

I needed to blurt and I couldn't think of any other place more appropriate. Sorry, AJ.
I was thinking about how much this forum addiction screwed up with my life, and then it occurred to me:

All those trolls that you and I and others can't shake off our backs, and who've been trolling daily for months - years:

It's more than an anger and resentment issue or personality issues or whatever for them.
It was in the beginning, but eventually the trolling has become addictive for them too. The buz they get out of it keeps them going and keeps other emotions (boredom, depression or whatever) at bay.
Because how else can one explain why RobDownDouth, Disgustipated and Emerson keep doing in such a compulsive, visible manner?

Applying the addiction model to trolling will really help Me change my attitude towards the trolls, and I will be more able to use the ignore button for them.

By your own admission, your life was a hot mess before you came to the forum. This all here has been a distraction for you, something to do which has helped you put off tidying up the corners of your life. Again, your own words.

Once more you will say something about me being married or about my kids, whatever, and you'll miss (avoid) the point, because 'Emerson'. It's never you or what you do, it's Emerson and his crew responsible for all your troubles...I really don't care what you blather because besides being wrong, it often has nothing to do with anything.

Own your shit and take responsibility for your life and your time here. Take your drama llama shoes off and quit being the tit (you know, the things you say you do like troll and hound pisters, but play victim when it is done to you), and quit trying to tell everyone how they are supposed to pist, and speaking for others.

You will likely ignore this because 'Emerson', say something about butt sex and 50 year old married guy, and it'll all look like another histrionic attention seeking bit on your part. Whatever, you do you. But even your racist pals have told you in their own way to own your shit, quit playing the victim, and take responsibility for your own words, time, actions, and life.

Now, c'mon big fella. Let's Skype and hug this shit out.

Do you have that fat woman's permission to use her picture as an avatar?

Praps this is the problem. Do you understand that this is a public forum? You cannot control who will read your posts. Do a PM next time if you only want AJ to read it.

This edit does not paint you in a better light. Have you considered doing a blog? Then you could post your diary posts and control who can comment.

Are you trolling me or did you wake up in a bad mood?

That's not what I meant. I was just surprised to see so many people post in such a quick succession.
The forum must be awfully quiet tonight, if I'm the entertainment.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

Really? From the Emerson creep? This is one occasion when I tell you: you Are living up to your
Self-proclaimed misogyny.

In saying that, you are partially right. I enjoy laughing with the more benign trolls. Not creeps like Emerson, tho.

I'm a misogynist AND you get something from the creeps. Putting on my Transactional Alaysis hat it looks to me like you collect what we call BROWN STAMPS you later redeem for a yummy payoff, maybe justification to become lesbian or murder a man.

Huh?

See above^^^^^

ok, you know I respect you (when you're not doing the racist stuff, of course) and what you say usually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for that.

But I'm trying to cut it short because the GB doesn't exactly offecr the friendliest audience for personal discussions.

 

[Emerson40]

Time to duck and dive.

Hashy came here to bitch and moan, not for insight and advice.

Shit is gettin' too real. Nobody is agreeing or blaming big bad Emerson, gotta jet.

The company you choose to keep is why you have no credibility at all.

With whom? Your pals Disgustipated and E?

Well, I find his nigger and racist comments to be just as apalling as anybody else does, and I told him off too.
But that doesn't change the fact that, when he's not in that mode, he says some really intelligent and meanigful stuff.

That may be the funniest typo I have ever read!

Thanks.
Just trying to live by my resolution and not mention his name or so on.

It's not as funny if I have to point it out to you.

Back to the original post:

I mean, people die and some good shit comes up for sale.


Yesterday's collection is today someone else's recollection.

My local auction is constantly selling house clearances after someone has died. Things the deceased person collected or valued could be worth money, or worthless.

For example in the last couple of weeks:

Stamps. The house clearance produced masses of used UK postage stamps from the 1960s to today. There were boxes and sacks and albums and booklets and stuffed bags. The total filled a small panel van and weighed about half a ton. That's a lot of stamps. The sale raised about twenty pounds (say $25 US). It wasn't worth the seller's effort in moving and sorting those stamps.

Bric-A-Brac (an upmarket term for a box of miscellaneous junk). I bought a box for a couple of items in it. I paid £3.30 (say $4 US) and I also had a collection of about 50 telephone cards. I don't think anyone collects them now and they weren't in great condition. But the previous owner had carefully put them in an album.

Camera. There was a 1950s style square Press photographer's camera with all the accessories including a Polaroid back. The vendor thought it might make £5. It sold for £250 because it was unusual and in great condition.

1970s Singer 533 Zig-Zag Sewing machine in a table. I bought it for £3.30 after it had failed to sell at two auctions. All I wanted was the handbooks for older Singer hand sewing machines that were with the 533 handbook. I would have paid more than that just for the old handbooks. I freecycled/Freegled the Singer 533. I had six responses in an hour and it was collected today. It should be worth more than £3.30 but no one else at the auction wanted it. Next week? A similar one might sell for £50.

Old things only have value if someone else wants them.

Addiction is a good analysis.


But I think there is a dash of bitterness and sense of personal failure that fuels it.


It's sort of a social inadequacy in their lives that on a day-to-day basis, the people in their lives do not give them the acknowledgment and full accolade that their ego demands, so they come her to take it out on someone.

I never really expected to see this thread again, it was more a less a parody of the thread titled "Collections."

Isn't there a .pdf somewhere on the net for a thing like that?

Seems that I've been able to throw out all my manuals knowing that I can access them remotely at any time.

Yes but an actual manual and hand is a cool thing I picked up a couple of owners manuals they are almost as old as I am. I'd love a manual for a piper twin Comanche but I instead I got a manual for the Cherokee the illustrations are quite similar.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Other than gold and silver coins, I tend not to own things as old as I am...

I prefer things minted before I was. I like things made of barely post-war Steel. I own the first model dishwasher ever made and a very nice stove from the same vintage. My couches from the 1890s when things were handcrafted and there's no such thing as a furniture assembly line.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I like the assembly line.



I can afford two couches...

This forum is proof positive of the Pavlov's dog theory.

Years ago I found some car sales brochures in a box of books I had bought. They were for a 1910 steam car made in London. The brochures were in perfect condition and the car, for its era, looked great.

I did some research. Only seven cars had been built and none had survived. Despite the publicity material I had, the design was disastrous. Only one car travelled more than a mile from the factory before catching fire and being destroyed. That one car made three miles but only because it was collected in heavy rain.

I gave the brochures to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. They already had a poor example of a brochure. Now they had seven perfect examples. The brochure's artist was much more competent than the car makers.
