I've never felt that the site was segregated.

Some here are old friends; some are old enemies; some are here more recently and have not yet established themselves as friends or enemies; some become enemies or friends right away.

Some post in politics, but not me - that way madness lies.

Some people appear to have no other purpose on God's earth than to be irritating, and they post here, too. There are some patronising bastards. There are some awesome intelligences. There are some out and out ratbags.

I'm not aware of any instances where Robert has discriminated against one or the other. I'm often aware of his remarkable grasp of things. It's his site, after all.

Just don't whinge! If you think you have been hard done by, give examples, not vague references.

@Robert Gentel,
No, just asking... not whinging (I say whining). Just asking.

If you tell me it's not segregated =as I said, I'll believe you. Maybe there was another person named AIDEN that only Intrepid and Setanta could see.

Rockhead obviously saw the thread...I can't go back and look for it - it was months ago.

But yeah, it made me wonder.

If you say they're full of **** and it couldn't have happened that way - sure - I'll believe you.

I'd rather believe that. I don't want to think that someone was that mean and petty and dishonest - I'm always trying to think the best of people.

Amd I'm not just kissing your ass -I'm not an ass kisser - that's probably part of my problem on line, but I will say this - this site has made me a lot of friends (yes, believe it or not - there ARE people who actually like Aidan) I'm laughing - I'm not being all sensitive and serious or anything) and enabled my creativity in a lot of ways.

This is an outright lie. I have never made any such claim. You're a goofball . . . and a liar, although that is neither here nor there.

Do me the favor of not making up stories about me.

@Setanta,
Oh my god - SETANTA - there you are....You could provide a link - couldn't you? Because you actually saw the thing....right?

Do so or don't at your own discretion. If you don't that'll be okay then I still won't have to know how mean people can actually be and believe it or not, I really don't want to get ugly- I like it better when I can pretend people are nice - hope your doggies and your girl are okay - that's more important than any of this ****.

I don't know what you mean by segregated, for example the thread seems to mean that people operate in different areas. In that meaning I'd say it's sometimes correct, there are some people who only post in politics, for example, and with others who avoid politics that's a kind of segregation.

That is something I do think exists, and I think it's a positive thing. The more of it there is, the more the smaller fringe niches will thrive as they won't be in the way of the people who aren't interested.

But you seem to be implying some kind of differential treatment on the part of the "site" but your examples seem to be user-confusion more than anything else.

Well I can rule this out. No, there was no person that only they could see.

I have no idea what they said, so I'm not going to claim that. However, I can say that I'm virtually certain that it is not evidence of what you are implying about the site.

Since the new site was launched, the only posts removed by the moderators have been spam (the overwhelming majority of the removed posts), porn (I don't think there have even been 3 cases of this) and illegal content (I think there was one copyright claim that was responded to).

Whatever you are describing (I'm not familiar with it) doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the site or the moderators.

Once again, this is a lie. If you didn't retail lies, you'd get a long a lot better.

@Setanta,
actually - yes - maybe you didn't say you saw a letter - you were just focusing on my one lie - as you still are.

I think it was intrepid who quoted or alluded to a letter.

Best to be exact as I can be I guess - which is hard- when as I said- I never even saw the documents I'm supposed to refer to.

No matter - the whole truth is known by someone. I only know my truth - and that's enough for me.

I just hope we're all integrated and equal - are we?

Aidan probably feels that there are 598 people online and writing somewhere
in a secret hidden part of the forum where she has no access to.

@Robert Gentel,
Thanks Robert - I just didn't get how there could be this letter that Intrepid - Yeah- that's it- saw that I never saw.

But maybe it was all via pm or something....who knows...

I'm glad to hear that it's all kosher and above board.

That's all I was wondering and you answered me - thanks.

I do appreciate it.

@CalamityJane,
Believe me cj - you have no idea what I think.

I was referring to something that really was pointed out to me - I didn't imagine it- ask Rockhead.

As far as i know, and for all that i can see, yes we are.

You have the same opportunity to make incoherent paranoid accusations about other members and play the fool as does any other member.

@Setanta,
Setanta has something like a photographic memory, or, never mind that, I'm not sure that is even a present term, his memory is pretty sharp. I don't know about Intrepid's mem, but I remember he and Set going at it, so the agreement is a thing in itself.

I might or might not have seen whatever it is/was - my memory is alternately amazingly good or desultory. I'd have to search back. I did watch Aidan change genders, but not all that intensely... I gathered it was an experiment, can't remember if it was academically inclined or not. She did admit so at some point.

I often agree with her, should probably pipe up more about that, but I try to avoid me-too-ing all the time. Sometimes I don't agree, pass it off.

Cliques happen here, for sure, but I don't think the site administration is connected with that, they were busy with other stuff. The people who are/were mods were, by and large, cool, and if they weren't at one time or another, I gather there was diversity to play against that, and some organizational place for them to work questions out. Whatever, I see no mod conspiracy against a person who was at that time a relatively new poster, Aidan.


edit re Set, if he has a photo mem, he also has considerable comprehension.
Not to toe-lick, he and I have had our set-to's too. Just observation.

@OGIONIK,
OGIONIK, I tried to de-segregate A2K by creating the radio thread. For a while it worked. I thought everyone in the world had something in common when it came to music, etc.

Mods still talk to each other privately, about the management of the site. This should come as no great shock to anyone. It is the only efficient way for us to get anything done.
