Wow! Defensive, much? I applaud your self control during this *one week*, but you're making like it is a long-term trend, which I definitely need to see to believe. I know you are feeling all satisfied, having blasted Share lately, and don't feel that roiling ball of anger within you, just now. But, given your inability to see your emotions until they explode, I guarantee it will happen again, just as it did with Curtis. You guys are two peas in a pod. Alex is spot on here.

Shemp is gone and Lawson hardly posts at all, so it's all about Judy, or more to the point, Barry's obsession with Judy and his need to have her controlled. Frankly, I'm tired of being a pawn in that ego drama. Ahem. Who obsessed on *whom* during this last week? I might point out that the person you're naming as the obsessor in this scenario neither responded to nor mentioned the people obsessing on *him* the whole week. Now do a quick count on the number of posts they made obsessing on him. So much for their claim that We only attack him because he attacks us. That said, I have no objections to the post count thingy being discontinued if most people here want it to be. It's been so pleasant NOT interacting with a certain group of people here that I will likely continue that approach after this experiment is over. They, from their side, are free to continue obsessing on me and Share and the rest of their enemies, thus demon- strating who and what they are to anyone with eyes to see it. Win-win. My larger prediction was, and remains, that whether limited to 50 posts or 200, there really aren't a lot of interesting ideas being posted on FFL, and most of the ones that are posted and argued about are Other People's Ideas. I think that's a sad commentary on the philosophy that promised them all a boost in their creative intelligence. I've been on vacation during this period, and thus free to just write the things I felt like writing, on my own schedule. I had fun with that, and ignored the small shit, not to mention the small assholes from whence that small shit issued. :-) I think that a few of my posts in this period were both creative and Not Other People's Ideas, but I'll allow you to make your own assessment of them. I'll probably continue to do the same thing in the future. Consider it my balanced, humble, and above all compassionate attempt to balance out the overwhelming mediocrity of this place. :-) :-) :-) People can react to my posts -- and to me -- however they want. Or, they could realize the folly of believing that they should, let alone that they have to. That's an ego game. If your EGO is so affronted by something said here by another poster that you feel the need to get them and convince others that this is a Bad Person, then I think all you'll accomplish by pursuing that goal is to demonstrate how big your EGO really is. *Especially* if you've claimed that you're all enlightened, and thus don't have one. :-) In other words, I don't care if the posting limits are dropped. They've just been a convenient way to rub one person's nose into her own tendency to obsess, and continually fight imaginary EGO battles, often with people who aren't even fighting back. That will continue to happen whether this person is able to post 500 times a week, or 5. Those who consider her their role model will do the same thing. Their call. The rest of us are free to react to that -- or NOT react -- as we see fit. So go forth and leave the Robocop duties to some other hapless soul if that's what you want to do. From my point of view, this experiment is already a success. Given the opportunity to post as much as they wanted, most people here -- especially the small group of people who seem to live for getting the people they don't like -- really DON'T have anything else to say. If they did, they'd have taken advantage of this week to say it. Just my two centimes...

In other words, I don't care if the posting limits are dropped. They've just been a convenient way to rub one person's nose into her own tendency to obsess, and continually fight imaginary EGO battles, often with people who aren't even fighting back. Says Barry, confirming Alex's observation. We all knew this was the case, of course, but it's interesting to see Barry admitting to it: the *only* reason he has been supporting the posting limits has been to give him more opportunities to get me. (One does hope, however, that he isn't considering himself to be one of the people who aren't even fighting back. That would be a quite extraordinary delusion, not to mention self-contradictory.)

If your EGO is so affronted by something said here by another poster that you feel the need to get them and convince others that this is a Bad Person, then I think all you'll accomplish by pursuing that goal is to demonstrate how big your EGO really is.

Nothing's good or bad but thinking makes it so. I can demonize ANYONE or praise them as if they're divine. So can you. I see some of your choices, and you see mine. Like all of us, Barry is a human being who cannot predict any thought before it manifests. Blind to our brains iz us. And in blindness, we all perforce stumble. I am on record here; I've sinned mightily far beyond the immorality of sitting in a cafe and farting. The stone you hand me, Dr., cannot be firstly thrown by me -- it's against the laws of Christian Physics! Perhaps if you really want me to dislike Barry, you'll tell me how to prioritize my scheduling of my hatred, cuz there's, like, say, oh I don't know, let's go with 4,935,634,545 people on the planet who are messing up in truly Kali Yuga mindfully wrought spectacularities, and sorting them out is a bother, but brother Barry surely isn't one of the terrorists, one of the fascists, one of the Illuminati, one of the corrupt politicians, one of the war lords, one of the psychotics ruining life for (actual number alert) 99.9 percent of humanity. So, nah, he's just a rascal. Let me know if he's given you a paper cut or he's hit you with a spitball, before I'll give Barry any Badge of Evil Distinction. And though I can field strip and reassemble any of my Trikkes blindfolded, I have a trikking buddy who's helping me with the new beast we're birthing; we are not inventing wizards, we make a ton of mistakes, break stuff, pretending we're doing Zen and the Art of Trikke Manifestance -- it ain't Menlo Park over here. Last week we scrapped almost the whole design, and there went $1500 worth of new parts that won't be used. That was us being stupid, ya see? So no credits over here for wrench handiness. But when this new horse gallops, STAND BACK. It will spritz rocks and clods behind it in twin ROOSTER TAILS OF DEATH. Or, take a 42 year old mom to the store and back with six bags of groceries for about two cents worth of electricity. Got a big vision going here, so, yep, I'm as dangerous as a combo of Henry Ford and Ramana Maharshi.the world could actually change its carbon footprint because of this machine or something like it, and I'm exploring what it would take to make that happen.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Post Count Fri 16-Aug-13 00:15:06 UTC
jeez turq, it's just another yucky part of being human, liking to think we might be better than others. Maybe had survival value at one time and thus hardwired into the reptilian brain. And because that aspect is so very tricky, you got the ones who are unconsciously and or secretly proud of their humbleness! My guess is that a real saint doesn't bother about it very much at all. IMLE (in my limited experience) devotion and or gratitude are the best remedies. Enliven another part of the brain, save the psychology.

People had been using adult Yahoo Groups to trade porn images and video clips, and the attachments must have been taking up huge amounts of drive space on the servers. A while back when I was experimenting with including an image in a post when I downloaded the post and looked at the source the image data was actually there but disassociated with the post so it wouldn't display. IOW, like when we use an email client to embed a picture and that works but Yahoo breaks the association. Aren't nanny states and corporations great? On a similar subject, AOL laid off about half their Patch staff (500 people) yesterday and are supposedly going to shut down a lot of Patch sites across the country. We have one for this town but it is rather lame so if they shut it down it would not be a great loss. Thing is, before a recent upgrade of the Patch software, people were very active on it. When they upgraded the software people's logins got broken and autologins stopped working. I suspect many of the local users couldn't remember their login. In fact I think with the old software I only had to login once and it maintained it from then on. Nowadays I have to login again too frequently. It brings up a certain issue. Small town papers have gone away along with small town radio stations. That's where you could find the news. There is one big corporate run paper in this area and they are piss poor at local reporting. So news blogs and web sites are the replacement. But many are run with this corporate sites like Patches which need to generate enough ad revenue to exist. We have one local blog that is NOT a Patch but part of a Bay Area news service that is quite good about news. The other problem with Patch sites is they are often run by tech semi-illiterates who might have been able to set up, using a static IP, their own server costing next to nothing to run. People throw away old computers that are quite capable of running a small town blog.

Goes 18.5 mph on the flats, faster downhill, of course, and it's a thrill, but it's not enough from me to tell you that your long gravel road isn't a problem. But. I'm working on building a much more powerful model. With dual rear wheel drive and a whole lotta other stuff.

Shemp is gone and Lawson hardly posts at all, so it's all about Judy, or more to the point, Barry's obsession with Judy and his need to have her controlled. Frankly, I'm tired of being a pawn in that ego drama. Ahem. Who obsessed on *whom* during this last week? I might point out that the person you're naming as the obsessor in this scenario neither responded to nor mentioned the people obsessing on *him* the whole week. Now do a quick count on the number of posts they made obsessing on him. So much for their claim that We only attack him because he attacks us. That said, I have no objections to the post count thingy being discontinued if most people here want it to be. It's been so pleasant NOT interacting with a certain group of people here that I will likely continue that approach after this experiment is over. They, from their side, are free to continue obsessing on me and Share and the rest of their enemies, thus demon- strating who and what they are to anyone with eyes to see it. Win-win. My larger prediction was, and remains, that whether limited to 50 posts or 200, there really aren't a lot of interesting ideas being posted on FFL, and most of the ones that are posted and argued about are Other People's Ideas. I think that's a sad commentary on the philosophy that promised them all a boost in their creative intelligence. I've been on vacation during this period, and thus free to just write the things I felt like writing, on my own schedule. I had fun with that, and ignored the small shit, not to mention the small assholes from whence that small shit issued. :-) I think that a few of my posts in this period were both creative and Not Other People's Ideas, but I'll allow you to make your own assessment of them. I'll probably continue to do the same thing in the future. Consider it my balanced, humble, and above all compassionate attempt to balance out the overwhelming mediocrity of this place. :-) :-) :-) People can react to my posts -- and to me -- however they want. Or, they could realize the folly of believing that they should, let alone that they have to. That's an ego game. If your EGO is so affronted by something said here by another poster that you feel the need to get them and convince others that this is a Bad Person, then I think all you'll accomplish by pursuing that goal is to demonstrate how big your EGO really is. *Especially* if you've claimed that you're all enlightened, and thus don't have one. :-) In other words, I don't care if the posting limits are dropped. They've just been a convenient way to rub one person's nose into her own tendency to obsess, and continually fight imaginary EGO battles, often with people who aren't even fighting back. That will continue to happen whether this person is able to post 500 times a week, or 5. Those who consider her their role model will do the same thing. Their call. The rest of us are free to react to that -- or NOT react -- as we see fit. So go forth and leave the Robocop duties to some other hapless soul if that's what you want to do. From my point of view, this experiment is already a success. Given the opportunity to post as much as they wanted, most people here -- especially the small group of people who seem to live for getting the people they don't like -- really DON'T have anything else to say. If they did, they'd have taken advantage of this week to say it. Just my two centimes...
